Reading between the lines of what you say and your exchanges with those you believe to be women youread more like a lunatic white feminist.
A word of advice to Black women, if may take the liberty. Black Women and white women are not fighting the same fight. White women are fighting for equal partnership in the white family business that is - Kicking my and your Butt. When they get their equality they will be no different to white men.

If you are a black woman you sound very angry and I think I understand why.
Ialso think you missed my point. What I was trying to say is that until there is some reason for Black Folk living in countries like Britain and the US not to date outside the race, whether it is with white women or anyone else, noneof us has the right to label the other.
If we begin to work together in our own interests, Black Women and Black Men, I believe that would deter those who might be attracted to the idea of entering mixed relationships because they'll feel ashamed. Moreover when they see Black men/women working together harmoniously I believe it will raise the self esteem of all Blacks.
We will be proud to beBlack in a profound way, and more will want to contribute to our efforts towards advancement.
Until more Blacks are thinking this way instead of pointing the finger judgementally, I being as I am, a Black Man, but more simply human male, will get love love from wherever I can find it. Whether it is with a Black Woman or non-Black woman.
I don't think it's hypocritical to get angry at what happened to my female ancestors or to resent an image that reminds of their horrible experience, it's just human.
Neither did I say that I openly showed my disapproval of Black women dating outside the race, if I saw you with your white man it would betotally meaningless to me once I got past my initial revulsion.
You are absolutely right when you say that Black Men suffered becasue of the psychotic claims of some white women but what can any of us do as single individuals that will help us come to terms with our ancestors trauma.
We Diaspora Blacks have a lot of pain. There is so much rage and frustration borne out of thelimitations others have placed on our lives.
I think we must first acknowledge the crippling effect that slavery and colonization has had on all our lives and deal with the anger we all have to greater or lesser degrees.
We must be patient with each other and keep educating, teaching and comforting ourselves. Nobody else will do this for us. We must acknowlegde our Holokaust and celebrate our continuing surival of this ongoing tragedy.
But we must come out on the other side and start to build the world in our image and interests.
I am willing to do this are you?
