The black man is always targeted.
Interesting moral conundrum.
As a black man who in position to build and is conscious enough to choose a partner that they could build with.
Like, especially if you’re young. Shouldn’t the goal to build community, as well as the individual? The way I see it, the most aspirational thing a black man can do is build with a black woman.
Especially with the incredible shortage of eligible black men who haven’t been victims to the system relative to black women. There’s a gender imbalance.
But in that case, with black women being much more likely to be “educated” than black men and more likely to succeed in corporate America - isn’t the onus on them to find a black man?
Personally, I just can’t do it. Too much of a distraction to have to maintain a relationship with another person and too many risks involved like unplanned pregnancies. Being in a relationship also makes it harder to do things like move across the country for economic reasons.
But at the same time, I don’t see how you couldn’t find a partner who is willing to support you throughout this process. And at the same time “building” is only representative to how well you can contribute to and succeed in a system of capitalist white supremacy. So ultimately it’s meaningless work and is pretty much a forced distraction.
