A wealthy black man will have a cac wife or some shyt and all of a sudden it's "black men" not just him. As though black men are a monolith. Can someone explain this to me?

It's called being the "face" of something. Nobody knows you or me so, of course, people are going to run with the "face". It doesn't help that people don't understand that celebrities are just normal people that got famous.

Humans do it as species
Like some people think all Asians know martial arts or are good at math.
We know better but we still do it.
Maybe we do it to confirm what ever biased we have?

Because wealthy black men are desirable and if they're out with a cac wife...that's one less sista that can make a come up financially.

Truth is that black wives get less attention. Imagine if LeBron married this broad:

Instead of Savannah:

I watch plenty of sports and while Savannah tends to be low key, there's no question the cameras would find her wayyyyyyy more if she was white. Especially non-ambiguous northern Euro cac. That's the story that sells. Successful athlete/black man with white woman.

There's nothing "wrong" if a breh finds true happiness with WW but successful BM mostly pair up with BW.
