Sadly, the majority of BM in the States do not appear to be educated, articulate and well rounded. That is the view of American BM we are presented with here in the UK. I noticed that some of the previous posts were disrespectful regarding BW, yet the men who made those comments would be the first to protest if the boot was on the other foot. Let's face it, both BM and BW have negative images portrayed in the media. However, it can't be denied that the majority of Black people who have had the good fortune to be portrayed as "worthy" happen to be women. For those of you who run down BW, just think of the thousands of black men who are in prisons, unemployed, walk with a ridiculous swagger, can not string a sentence together and have unpleasant accents that are an assault to one's ear, promiscuous and STD ridden, unattractive.... The list goes on... Don't blame black women for their plight; many of them have had terrible male role-models - mainly their fathers. I agree with the person who claimed that statistically, white women are better looking. Well, white men are generally better looking. If you haven't guessed already, the facts should be dawning on you by now.... White women and white men are equally desirable.... What is good about white women the same can be said about their male counterparts. Also, what is bad about black women the same............. HMMMM
