    I think your answer has absolutely nothing to do with the man’s question. He asked why it is that black women overlook black men in wheelchairs. In today’s society, it is disturbing for some African-American women to see other African-American men with women of other ethnicities. There is a growing population of African-American men in prisons, so that takes away a large part of the eligible men. There are also those men who choose to date and marry women who are not African American, and that can be frustrating as well. This is especially true when the men are prosperous. However, prosperity is not the only driving force behind what African-American women look for in a relationship. What the man was saying was that if African-American women are looking for eligible men, to not overlook men in wheelchairs. And I don’t think it is only African-American women who overlook men in wheelchairs – I think most women do. But it’s not because they are imperfect, or poor, or low in class, but because disabilities are propagandized as inabilities, and no one wants to be with someone who is incapable of anything. I think the best way to turn the situation around is to start having more roles on TV and movies with wheelchair-bound people as stars.
