and i didn't intend for this to be a "lets drag hetero black men yall lolz" thread
i don't want it to be taken that way. like not my mission at all.
i approached the man i mentioned in the OP with LOVE. very gently and took my time to educate him
because i know he himself is a bit of a victim as well if he's using that language. he's not the devil automatically.
this is more of a "when u see a black woman explaining her plight....listen to her. shit is REAL out here." thread
not just for us as members here , but any guests reading. it needs to be known that black women are not delusional and are not pulling shit out of their ass for pity points
and this is a valid point.
but when it started to veer into 'black men benefit from objectification' is when i started to side-eye a bit.
i never said they benefit from "objectification" specifically.
maybe that's where it got a lil mixed up
my point was that the promotion of the dark skinned, ambiguously Black man in movies, shows etc. often is POSITIVE for their image in terms of desirability.
u can promote a black dark skinned black man with objectifying him.
he doesn't need to have his shirt off, grabbing his dick or any of that.
in other words, think of the phrase, "tall dark and handsome."
this phrase is often used when women describe somepne who they want to date and marry.
not someone who they're lookin to unleash their jungle fever on real quick and be done with them .
it's not always a fetish. it's positive promotion as well.
