Let's discuss. Let's break this down in terms of logic. First, let's examine a common argument made by Black women regarding Black men and our tastes. We'll use deductive reasoning.
Example Argument #1
Premise: Black men like curvy/voluptuous women.
Premise: Black women generally desire the attention of Black men.
Premise: Black women tend to have higher obesity rates than the average American woman.
Conclusion: Black women are overweight and engage in unhealthy dietary behaviors that are a result of trying to bend to the demands of Black men and their tastes.
Example Argument #2
Premise: Black men like exotic-looking women.
Premise: Black women generally desire the attention of Black men.
Premise: A significant portion of the Black woman's disposable income is spent on enhancement products to mimic the looks of exotic woman.
Conclusion: Black men and their preference for exotic-looking women drive Black women to enhance their looks to approximate those of exotic-looking women.
Black women have no qualms about making those arguments. We hear them all the time. Black women are
, it's the Black man's fault. Black women are wearing hair hats and rockin' year-round Halloween costumes, it's the Black man's fault. Yet, if the following argument is presented, using the same line of reasoning, it holds no weight?
Example Argument #3
Premise: Black women prefer stereotypical Black masculinity.
Premise: Black men generally desire the attention of Black women.
Premise: A significant portion of Black men spend their disposable income in an effort to present the image of stereotypical Black masculinity.
Conclusion: Black women and their preference for stereotypical masculinity drive Black men to spend a significant portion of their disposable income on things to present such an image.
See how that works? It's basic argument structure. It's been around since the Greeks stole it from nikkas in Kemet.
Example Argument #4
Premise: "If your status ain't hood, I ain't checkin' for him, Betta be street if he lookin' at me, I need a soldier, That ain't scared to stand up for me, Known to carry big things , If you know what I mean, If your status ain't hood, I ain't checkin' for him, Betta be street if he looking at me, I need a soldier, That ain't scared to stand up for me, Gotta know to get dough, And he betta be street"
(Note: That was a major hit by a group whose lead singer is a Black feminist hero! 
)
Premise: Black men generally desire the attention of Black women.
Premise: A significant portion of Black men work to craft the image of being from the hood or engage in various counterproductive activity in order to gain street credibility.
Conclusion: Black women and their preference for stereotypical masculinity drive young, impressionable Black men to engage in behavior that is not productive.
So, in short, young, Black men with impressionable minds are better off not bending to stereotypical demands placed on them by young Black women's tastes.
Every nikka on the Coli knows that one dude who wasn't even from the hood. He came from a good family. But, because he wanted to fit in and impress the birds, he got caught up and either got murked, ended up in prison or fukked up in some other way.
I know quite a few nikkas like that.
