    It's due to a couple of factors.The first has to do with the fact that some - not all - black females embrace feminism, which of late says to women that they do not need men to take care of them or, for that matter, to assist them in the raising of children (as witnessed by the disproportionate number of black children growing up in one-parent households headed by the mother). The second factor is that black women, as anyone knows, are having a tough time finding decent black men to date, which would eventually lead to marriage and building a solid family structure.

    My heart goes out to this individual for in my opinion it does not matter if the person is light or dark complexioned beacause it is about time that black people get over this nonsense beacause it is counterproductive and keeps us from doing the things that we need to do to be successful in this society.

    In response to Sista's comments my response is that in the 36 soon to be 37 years of my life I have never heard such crap for it only reinforces this rather tired notion of black people as victims and as a black person we need to let go of our so-called victimhood and realize that we are in the year 2000 for we need to look forward instead of living in the past.

    In response to Renata G's comments, allow me to say that I have never heard such b.s. in my life beacause if a White person made such a comment there would be hell to pay and that is why I think that black people such as Renata need to examine their racial attitudes in regards to this issue.

    Unfortunately, this nation is not a melting pot. Also, we live in a nation that has made whiteness the norm, and you can look no further than the images presented on television, in movies and in magazines as to who is regarded as beautiful and smart. All too often, it is white people and no one else.
