Why Black Men Love White Women: Going Beyond Sexual Politics to the Heart of the Matter
Review Date: 9/27/2010
Helpful Score: 1


I found this quite fascinating. I was expecting a review of qualities that are different in white women that attract black males. This is not what the author discusses. Rather he goes into the history of the terrible abuse of African-Americans which was a real education for me. That he used that to explain why black males prefer white females. A coup it would seem since historically white was considered better than black--dating a white woman enhanced one's status.
As a woman I am attracted to men based on their character traits, interests, values, etc-not for status-enhancing or money, etc. According to the author, this is not the reason his black male cohorts find white women attractive--not interested in them for their character qualities, intelligence, interests, etc.
