So how do we feel about this? Is this an actual double standard in our community?

There are more black women on earth than black men so you will hear more complaints about black men, and more approval in regard to black women. Nothing personal, only numbers.
The numbers also say that the majority of black women and black men are marrying each other...and if given the option, more black men can date out...and more black men do. More black women openly advertise nowadays because it's trendy and a game of "anything you can do I can do..."
It's not working out, though...and people are petty. Be in relationships with who you want because you want them, not because you're bitter.
That goes for both genders...more so for one right now during this trendy time of youtube videos and swirling 'culture'

A lot of times people look at double standards from a mere surface level, w/o giving any credence to the history or just context behind them and what makes one case more acceptable than the other. That's being intellectually dishonest.

Its kinda the same reason black comedians can openly mock white ppl but white comedians dont rly have the same liberty towards black ppl. On a surface lvl its not fair, but historically speaking black ppl have been at the other end of public mockery in America.

Historically speaking, at least in our life times, black men have not only dated out at a higher rate but have often done it while doggin out black women and usin their supposed flaws to justify their dating choices. Im pretty sure most of us had at least an uncle or older cousin that encouraged us to get us a white girl when we were younger cuz "blacks girls are too hard too handle" etc. etc. I kno I had.

I'm not making the case for one being more acceptable than the other, however it's understandable why BM/WM relationships r looked at more harshly by black women and u sorta have to cut dem some slack for dat.
