I don't see the same level of outrage with Black men/non-Black spouses.
I don't like to see it on either end tbh. but at least i can understand why the rare media visual representation of BM/WW/ NBW isn't so ugly to me, personally.
I've seen tons of brothers with white and latina women. That's honestly just what i've seen living in CT.
The reverse wasn't prevalent growing up. And to be truthful, stats tells us that black women and white guys are the least occurring ir pairing in real life.
So for me, for my tv to push something so much that doesn't actually happen that often, tells me that maybe there's a conscious effort to make it so.
And that bothers me, especially since its basically being pulled out of thin air.
Stop trying to make fetch happen, so to speak.
And when i do see TV representation of BM/WW, it bothers me as well. A veritable wedge is being shoved between our genders, and its coming from on high.
That's when they even give allow the brothas a libido. So often we're depicted as normal but somehow asexual, gay or we get a last minute pity pull.
And they're normally pulling white/asian/latina.
Blackish, The Carmicheal Show and Empire are the only shows on primetime that show black families, and Empire is pure dysfunction.
It bothers me that the 90's peak has fallen to this.
I may have thought the Wayans, Jamie Foxx show and Steve Harvey was corny, but they at least had black desirability.
The media industry doesn't like to show us as being happy together. I wonder why?
