Google Search: "what white people love" - Part III

Why Black Men Love White Women by Rajen Persaud

The book seems to either be an extremely dry academic perspective on race and gender relations or it could be extremely entertaining. Since this website is essentially an advertisement it is hard to say which is more accurate. The aspect of this website that was most appealing were the questions Persaud asks the visitor to consider.

He starts with the easiest and most provocative questions to tie everything together:
  • What really polarized America during the O.J. Simpson trial?
  • Why this subject will never leave our media and consequently our minds?
  • Why we are constantly reminded by it?
  • Why white men are killing their mates more than ever before but O.J. is still burnt into our minds?
We all know the answer to this: a famous black athlete killed his beautiful white wife because he thought she was having an affair with a really hot white man. The media loved it while the public reaction ranged from being mesmerized to angered to annoyed to bored. Even though he was proven not guilty any time O.J.'s mug appears on camera you can not replace the idea of the circus that evolved out of that trial. As for the last point Persaud's theory probably revolves around our idea of celebrity and how we admire and look up to star athletes. If you have never been one of these people then you are probably balance enough to not want to kill you wife.

Then came some really interesting socio-political questions:
  • Why corporate criminal activity is at an all time high?
  • Why women are not active participants in the society and why this fact will continue to compound and aggravate the above issues?
  • Why men will continue to control and dominate?
  • Why the full and equal participation of women in the world is the key to all our domestic and global issues?
  • Why men will never allow this to happen?
There are so many answers to these questions that it is highly unlikely Persaud came to an actual conclusion. In order the gutted, quick answer are:
  • Because they can get away with it thanks mainly to technology.
  • Because no one wants to listen to them.
  • Because that has been the role of men since the dawn of Man.
  • Because they need to be.
  • Because they wont allow it to happen.
This one just stuck out like a sore thumb, but it is almost required of anyone writing about race to ask:
  • Why Black men are the most feared, hated and despised people in the world?
Media, and especially Hip-Hop in the last twenty years, has distorted the image of black men into the caricature of a gun-toting, dope-smoking, ho-slapping, player-hating, thug. This is a complete 180 degree change from the black-faced, spiritual-singing, jive-shucking comic relief that was being portrayed before the 1980's. We all know what the real truth is.

Then comes the really interesting questions which probably make up the meat of the book. They certainly touch upon the issues and belief that we all deal with everyday. Hopefully Persaud deals with them with as much humor as I am about too. He probably switched back to first person too.
  • Why Black women continue to be the most secretly desired women on the planet?
    • Personally it's not that much of a secret.
  • Do white women treat Black men better?
    • No, just don't yell as loud and their aim is worse.
  • Are white women more supportive?
    • They're just better at swallowing their tongues.
  • Is money the only thing Black women think about?
    • No, there is also getting their hair and nails done, scoring decent weed, and finding someone to look after their kids.
  • Do Black women have attitudes?
    • Is this a trick question because if I say "yes," I am going to get my ass kicked.
  • Are white women naturally more beautiful than Black women.
    • No they just use different make-up and hair products.
  • Are Black women lousy lovers?
    • From past experience I would have to say no. That distinction is reversed for the WASPS I've dated.
  • Are white women better at oral sex than Black women?
    • Oh no, that award definitely goes to Latina women.
  • Are white women sluttier than Black women?
    • Only one hour before last call.
  • Do white women smell better than Black women?
    • Depends on where you are sniffing.
  • Are white women easier to deal with?
    • Their bullshit is less loud and obnoxious.
  • Are Black women intimidating Black men?
    • Only the ones they're related to.
  • Are Black women scaring their men off?
    • Only the ones they're trying to attract.
  • Are white women less demanding?
    • Only when you give them everything they want.
  • Are white women less bossy?
    • Only when you are not in their way.
  • Are white women sexier than Black women?
    • Any woman who wants to have sex with you is sexy.
  • Are Black men with white women because of a hatred of Black women?
    • No, it's just a status thing.
  • Are Black women with white men because they can't find a Black man?
    • Not one over the age of 21 who has one with a job, a car, and isn't paying child support for three other children.
  • Can a Black man truly love an white woman?
    • Only if she keeps her mouth shut. Or filled.
  • Can a Black person truly love a white one?
    • You mean a white person right? Racist pig.
  • Are interracial relationships real?
    • It depends on what you consider reality, but yes.
  • Is it more than love that brings the races together?
    • There is also hot, socially forbidden sex, causing your parents, friends, ex's, and co-workers to be confused, the excitement of something new (Although that can be said for any situation.), rebuking social norms, and in some instances citizenship status.
  • Is a Black man's love for a white woman different from the way he loves a Black woman?
    • Only in the amount of back rubs and blow jobs he receives.
  • Can Black people be truly honest about their feelings towards whites?
    • Not without full protection from the law and retaliation.
  • Can whites truly be honest with Blacks?
    • Not without causing a race war.
  • Do Black men love their mixed race babies or are they in awe of them?
    • Only by the fact that 1.) he slept with a white woman and 2.) she is actually allowing him near the baby.
  • Would they love the children they have with a Black woman the same?
    • Black women seem to be doing just fine with them.
  • Are white men losing their women and are Black women losing their men?
    • Don't worry they're not getting the ones we want to claim as our own anyway.
  • Will the animosity end?
    • If we all receive frontal lobotomies, then yes.
  • Can the world ever become a racially better place?
    • It can become more tolerant and understanding.
All jokes aside the color of someones skin and the kink of their hair does not make them any better or worse of a lover or partner. It is all about how those two people interact and relate.
