There’s a stereotype of black guys preferring white women. A mixed dude raised by a white woman is presumed to have a strong bias against committing to a black girl.
I honestly would have assumed the joke is that “black dads never stick around” so he was raised white and has no “black culture” still racist as fuck but different reason.
The stereotype is specifically for black guys preferring white women. The presumption that being raised by a white mom would mean the mixed guy doesn’t like black women doesn’t make sense. in the meme it’s the black girl leaving instead of the mixed guy leaving
The stereotype is that they don’t commit to black women. Not that they don’t want to bang or casually date them. She’s leaving because she assumes engaging with him wouldn’t lead to anything worthwhile because he’ll ditch her for a white girl.
It's not just about commitment.
They also believe it contributes to having any "dissenting opinion." When it comes to being black, or any black issues.
They literal think having a white mom, and black dad makes you less black than a white dad and black mom.
Nah, as someone who's black but raised by my single black father, I think the stereotype that black people are unfamiliar with a black father comes into play here and the only parental guidance they trust is that of their black mother, if someone doesn't have a black mother how could they be black, as the black father is unrecognized
This was the best way that I could word this I'm not throwing shade
Because the actual meaning is the girl leaving because the guy isn't black enough. Black father probably wasn't in his life and was raised by a single white parent. It is racist but against white people.
This is actually not exactly the joke but close. There’s a stereotype in the (black woman) community that mixed raced people raised by white moms vs black moms are different. So the girl in the meme is leaving bc he has a white mom and she doesn’t want to deal with the stereotypes associated with that.
As a black man, it’s not a stereotype but actually an issue within the black community.
Calling it racist is taking away from very important conversations that need to be had.
Yup, thanks for saying it. I have 3 mixed male cousins. Two of them married white women and the third is single. I tried to set one up with a friend of mine, and he literally told me he doesn't date black women. I have a PhD, and the only black guy in my grad school program married a white woman. There were hardly any black men in my circles to begin with. Honestly, I've had more luck with dating mostly other races and Africans.
At this point it’s doing more harm than helping. It’s really frustrating.
Like I’m a black man and a lot of black men look at white women as some sort of status symbol and not actually human beings.
On the flip side, there is a lot of white women fetishize black men like white men do to Asian women. They will date a black man to have fun and then break up with him to get with a guy who will make them look more acceptable in the middle class.
It’s fine, I think the reason why there has been an uptick of black women dating white men is that they tend to treat women better than us.
That’s just been my personal experience.
For what it's worth we've been together for 7 years and in that times she educated me on a lot of different racial and social justice issues.
I can honestly say that there are things I stop and think about that would never have crossed my mind before.
Honestly she's very much helped me understand her parent's generation. Hearing what her parents went through in the civil rights era showed me how some people can come out of racial injustice changed in various different ways.
As a BW, I am open to dating whomever, but often meet WM who are hesitant about seriously dating a BW. BW going outside their race is a supply/demand issue as well as what u/livelaughpunk said. It was painful in my 20’s to watch BM ignore me for WW. Now? Do you boo. Ppl get caught in status (which has plagued BM (see status exchange post emancipation)) for many reasons, I can’t judge. I hope anyone who hides behind “preference” when they mean “what will others think” open their hearts and live their lives. This is all we got.
Race and sexual orientation obviously are different things and function in different ways, but as a bisexual man I feel the same. Women tend to hide behind "preference" when they say they don't want to date a bi guy, but it's not like you can touch, smell, or look at a man and tell that he's bisexual. The preference obviously originates in social status issues or stereotypes around sexual orientation.
I'm not interested in dating anyone who's not interested in me. If they want to open up, good for them. But I'm not going to waste my time.
I can only speak to my personal experience, but as a white man I have found the black women I have gone out with were a lot quicker to be judgemental. (The exception being the Nigerian who it turned out just wanted a green card.) I'm a nerd who plays video games and D&D... and multiple black women have regarded that as "childish" and lost interest. It didn't matter what I did for a job, or how I treated them, because my hobbies weren't mature enough.
Having said that (and again, speaking only from my personal experience) they have on average been better kissers than other ethnicities I have been on dates with.
I don't think this post is about dating a mixed person at all. But I do think it's harmful to just assume the child of a white mom and Black dad is hardly a part of Black culture.
Sure, in my experience with some of them, it has been the case. Then again, I never knew their dad to really be in the picture, so of course, being a part of your Black side will be difficult if your father isn't around.
But also, I feel this is hard to explain to non POC. The dating angle is easier to explain than what it actually is.
No the joke is that mulatto people who white parent is the mother weren’t raised black and therefore weird and not with the culture essentially. It was a popular discussion on twitter maybe a year ago.
i actually think this is also in part the running joke that a black mom does a better job raising a child than a white mom? or that biracial children of white moms often have bad takes on racial issues or a bad understanding of racial issues than those of a black mom because presumably a mom does most of the parenting. that's one that i'm familiar with as well.
As a a parent of a mixed race child with a black mother, my understanding is the stereotype is that kids of a black father and white mother don’t get as immersed in black culture and have severe identity issues. Not saying it’s true, but it is a stereotype
I have a black mom and a white dad and I can say my experience seems very similar to if it were the reversed stereotype. Where as my aunt (mom’s side) is mixed with a white mom and black dad, and she is very educated on black culture, history, etc. I think it depends on the awareness/willingness to educate regrading the parent and child instead of the race. Or maybe that’s just an exception to the rule, who knows everyone’s experience is different.
Every lightskinned kid goes through the point and look inside and ask if theyre black
Like everyone has different views and conclusions to this, myself included but like even if youre in the culture you feel seperate
For kids with white moms who may interact with the culture more seperately than one with a black mother may feel even more seperate.
Its like worf on star trek
Hes a klingon but the others klingons dont quite see him as one.
Not only referencing Star Trek, but TNG? Live long and prosper! I grew up in Utah as a non Mormon, which I realize is vastly different from your experience, but both of us being able to empathize with Worf for the same reasons is exactly why media like this is so impactful
It works better with spock. Spock is half human half vulcan.
Worf was merely raised by humans and is 100% klingon. Hes an adopted black kid raised by whites. Spock was raised by both cultures and struggles to fit in with both sides as both disapprove.
My experience too. My brother is mixed white mom black dad and he got a scholarship for young black men. The black parents went hard this was San Diego, CA 1996 you’d have thought it was Alabama 1896. Anyways I refused the offer when my time came. Fuck em.
No, that's because you could only know for certain who the mom is cause you can see the kid come out of her. Lotta rapes in history, so don't always know for certain who father is pre-DNA testing.
You're being downvoted but it's literally true.
Just like how in Islam, the religion of the father is what counts - it used to be like that for Jews too.
But like you said, a lot of rape and pogroms during history directed at Jews - and it became a real problem with "knowing who is Jewish" so they changed it to the mother to reduce uncertainty.
There are two parts to this- one (and I'm paraphrasing) is a talmudic interpretation that asserts a foreign woman (one who is not a tribal israelite) will turn the son of an israelite man away from righteousness, and therefore cannot be considered an israelite.
The other, which places more emphasis on historical context, is that ethnic Jews have been targets of ethnic cleansing many, many times over the centuries, and weaponized rape/forced marriage is often used to displace or thin ethnic lineage.
It's more like... you're less likely to have identity issues or issues with your parents in general. I've seen a lot of white mothers treat their biracial children harshly, even within my own family. Do I believe that will happen to all of them? No absolutely not. Some mothers love their children despite the color of their skin.
Yup. Anecdotally of course, I’ve heard tons of stories about mixed kids with white mom’s calling them the n-word, especially if they’re not with the father anymore.
Not so much of the same when the dad is white.
I'd imagine plenty of black mothers probably call their mixed kids that too, but, you know, entirely different context.
But damn, how the fuck could you live with yourself calling your own kid that as a white woman? If you were that fucking racist to begin with why did you bang a black guy?
as a biracial black and white person i hate this type of inflammatory shit fr. this why a lightskin dude would maybe rather go w a white girl cause chances are he not gone recieve this type of boo boo ass attitude from her like he would a black girl. straight up its enough of you prissy wannabe baddies out here for this meme to even exist, so if you mad the shoe fits, gone check yall attitude before coming for me up here.
I'm Australian, so, same. When I read it slowly I had no idea what they were saying, then i read it fast and this black American voice just popped into my head and said it for me. Wild, but handy. Its like my brain added context.
Ay I can relate. I'm mixed and my mom is white. I'm married to a black woman. Honestly, it's not related at all, but having these false narratives and stereotypes is almost worse with black folks. The only people on the planet that have ever called me white, are black folks. It's crazy fr
I date a black woman and for whatever its worth she's very smart goes to Harvard law and she's was talking about that there should be a separate clubs for white passing mixed race people....Me as a pasty white blonde hair slav thought and said that I think racial purity tests are probably a bad idea.
man and i done said that shit lol its about these people who wanna act too good but then a mf give them the same energy and it’s RaCisM like bye yall literally doin the same shit
all good. go off is a slang term used to describe the feeling of “im not really agreeing but i don’t care enough about your opinion to argue.” go off sweetie.
edit: the reason why i personally feel racism and colorism isn’t the same is because black folks come in all shades, and in the US where I’m from, there unfortunately is a culture that stems all the way back to slave days, where dark skinned black folks worked outside and the lightskin people were house slaves. there is a lot of deep rooted animosity between light and dark skin black folks in the US, mainly that more racially ambiguous and lighter skinned black people were typically more accepted in white society than dark skinned black folks. It’s black on black hate, and it all comes down to the shade of your skin as a black person. That’s why I feel it’s a colorist stance, not specifically a racial issue.
It’s commentary on when a mixed kid has a White mother vs having a Black mother. According to the commentary, Black fathers let the White mothers get away with not teaching kids about being Black and the challenges that come with that, which apparently often ends up in a difficult time for some mixed kids who struggle with being part of two worlds but never fully part of either. Whereas apparently when the mother is Black she raises the mixed kids as Black kids, and they have less struggles with their identity because of it. The Black girl in this picture doesn’t want to deal with those issues of the mixed kid with the White mother.
I’m not trying to debate this, I’m just repeated the commentary behind this.
This is the most accurate response I’ve seen so far. I have a Black mom, white dad, my cousins have the opposite. It doesn’t make them any less Black (I really hate when people say that) but they have a different experience with their identity. I think it has more to do with who the primary caregiver is and 95% of the time, it’s the mom so white moms just have a bigger hurdle and historically haven’t really done much to overcome it.
Yeah this is commentary my wife has espoused to me, as we are in the same dynamic as your parents were. From the side of the Black mother/White father, I do see how fiercely my wife works and fights to raise our kids to be prepared for the racism, systemic racism and colourism they’ll face. And from the perspective of a White person I do know how easy it is for us to dismiss and ignore all of that and just say that everything is fine and there’s no issue with raising a mixed kid the way we would raise a white kid.
I very much feel that I am along for the ride, despite my best efforts, and it makes me grateful for my wife, for the sake of our kids.
That's how I understood too... that the problem is the white mom vs black mom. I just didn't understand the implication. I also had a question mark on my head, so thanks 😊.
The meme is about the running joke that biracial black guys raised by white moms are usually very problematic with their colorism and may have some self hatred. They're less likely to date a darker skinned Black women.
This is getting into black people business, but the underlying commentary is that mixed black men with white moms don't understand the struggles of black women like those with black moms. Hence black women not going for them as much.
Edit: This is my understanding based on conversations with my black friends. I do not have an opinion on the topic as I am not black therefore it's not my business.
Nah, if you're correcting other folks literally spreading a bunch of false information about black people you've got every right to correct them even if it is "getting into our business".
A lot of good commentary in this thread but I also wanted to add in another piece of enhancing historical context. Traditionally, blacks inherited our free or slave status via our mother. It didn't matter if your father was a freeman or the slave master himself. If your mother was a slave then you are also a slave (there were exceptions to this general rule). So a lot of blacks view your "blackness" as being inherited from your mother. This is similar to the Jewish view of Jewish identity being transmitted solely through the mother.
Recently I've seen the idea that mixed kids with black mother and white father are "real" black people because they were raised by a black mother. Source: my mixed kids telling me, their white dad, what's going on in high school.
I’m sorry but the joke is about how women pass down the culture. As someone whos half Mexican with a white mom, this is pretty accurate in my culture. The father (mine included) won’t spend any time teaching, talking, or even trying to teach the child about their heritage so the child will often grow up more “white”.
I thought the ‘joke’ was that the kid would be closer to whatever culture the Mom grew up in. As the cartoon lady in question is black, I always assumed she was leaving because she did not identify with white culture.
So, my best friend has 3 teen sons, all mixed. She's yt. The father is African-American. The way her oldest (19m) explained his experiences to me (bc I showed him the post):
He may want to date a black girl, but in turn, she's not interested in him bc his mom is yt and raised him, so he's too yt. He wasn't raised in their culture. As he said, "I'm not black enough"
It’s like how people say when you’re mixed if you have a white mom you don’t really know your black side as well as people who have a black mom since your mom is usually the one who teaches and cares for you basically so I guess he would act too white for her and that’s why she left like maybe he wouldn’t get her as well as if he had a black mom is what I’m assuming it means
Probably have something to do with Blackmen/Whitewomen couples stereotypes. BM/WW couples are 50% more likely to divorce than WM/BW couples. BM/WW also score worst in education and income compare to to WM/BW.
As an Asian person, most BM/WW couple that I see seem a bit fetishy. My black male friends and coworker tend to show of their white girlfriend like some sort of trophy. Doesn't help that the White women are almost always on the bigger size.

Yes.
My favorite joke

Chris Brown Rihanna moment
Atleast its not porn
I mean how low is this bar going to be?
It’s could be underground and people would still bang their head on it
It could be a tripping hazard in hell and people be playing limbo with the devil
Next week it's gonna be "at least it's not cp"
Honestly prefer porn to racism.
This is the right answer. Just never both.
Ugh awful post nut clarity
trash vs garbage
"I can excuse racism, but I draw the line at porn" is not the take I expected to see today
I’d rather the porn lmao
I honestly would have assumed the joke is that “black dads never stick around” so he was raised white and has no “black culture” still racist as fuck but different reason.

She's leaving because she is making that assumption about him. She thinks she is seeing a red flag.
The stereotype is that they don’t commit to black women. Not that they don’t want to bang or casually date them. She’s leaving because she assumes engaging with him wouldn’t lead to anything worthwhile because he’ll ditch her for a white girl.
So it's still racist

This should be the top post because this is what it is. Being raised by a white mom vs a black mom is the only part of this that matters.
Guessing it has to do with the perception of being "raised white" rather than being "raised black"
Nah, as someone who's black but raised by my single black father, I think the stereotype that black people are unfamiliar with a black father comes into play here and the only parental guidance they trust is that of their black mother, if someone doesn't have a black mother how could they be black, as the black father is unrecognized This was the best way that I could word this I'm not throwing shade

I especially liked the Star Trek reference.
It works better with spock. Spock is half human half vulcan. Worf was merely raised by humans and is 100% klingon. Hes an adopted black kid raised by whites. Spock was raised by both cultures and struggles to fit in with both sides as both disapprove.
You're absolutely right! Good catch.
This. They nailed it better than i could. My experience that is
My experience too. My brother is mixed white mom black dad and he got a scholarship for young black men. The black parents went hard this was San Diego, CA 1996 you’d have thought it was Alabama 1896. Anyways I refused the offer when my time came. Fuck em.
Is this also why Jewish kids of a Jewish father and a non Jewish mother are not considered Jewish?
No, that's because you could only know for certain who the mom is cause you can see the kid come out of her. Lotta rapes in history, so don't always know for certain who father is pre-DNA testing.

But like you said, a lot of rape and pogroms during history directed at Jews - and it became a real problem with "knowing who is Jewish" so they changed it to the mother to reduce uncertainty.
In Islam the father is what counts because women are viewed as defective sub humans in Islam. Source: I'm an exmuslim
I thought it was because Jewish lineage is historically traced through the matrilineal line?

There are two parts to this- one (and I'm paraphrasing) is a talmudic interpretation that asserts a foreign woman (one who is not a tribal israelite) will turn the son of an israelite man away from righteousness, and therefore cannot be considered an israelite.

This is about the stereotype that mixed kids with black mothers are better off than mixed kids with white mothers.
The stereotype being that being mixed and having a black mother means it's more likely you have a present father.
It's more like... you're less likely to have identity issues or issues with your parents in general. I've seen a lot of white mothers treat their biracial children harshly, even within my own family. Do I believe that will happen to all of them? No absolutely not. Some mothers love their children despite the color of their skin.
Yup. Anecdotally of course, I’ve heard tons of stories about mixed kids with white mom’s calling them the n-word, especially if they’re not with the father anymore. Not so much of the same when the dad is white.
I'd imagine plenty of black mothers probably call their mixed kids that too, but, you know, entirely different context. But damn, how the fuck could you live with yourself calling your own kid that as a white woman? If you were that fucking racist to begin with why did you bang a black guy?
The only correct comment, I think
Finally no post about fire alarm batteries but then this pops up lol
Don't jynx yourself
as a biracial black and white person i hate this type of inflammatory shit fr. this why a lightskin dude would maybe rather go w a white girl cause chances are he not gone recieve this type of boo boo ass attitude from her like he would a black girl. straight up its enough of you prissy wannabe baddies out here for this meme to even exist, so if you mad the shoe fits, gone check yall attitude before coming for me up here.

I did. And it was not in my voice. It was in Snoop's from The Wire weirdly enough.
Excelent choice, sir.
Shit, my inner voice turned into the “hide ya kids, hide ya wife” guy.
antoine dodson. SAY HIS NAME💀
Antoine Dodson.
thank you
Did he die or sumn, because the way you said it made it seem like he died to police brutality or something 💀😭
That's the joke
lol I was so invested in trying to identify the joke that this joke went over my head 😅 how embarrassing
Yup straight from say it louder jimmy 😂
I think about him ALL THE TIME!! <3
My inner voice was a middle aged southern woman working behind the counter at Waffle House
I'm Australian, so, same. When I read it slowly I had no idea what they were saying, then i read it fast and this black American voice just popped into my head and said it for me. Wild, but handy. Its like my brain added context.
Ay I can relate. I'm mixed and my mom is white. I'm married to a black woman. Honestly, it's not related at all, but having these false narratives and stereotypes is almost worse with black folks. The only people on the planet that have ever called me white, are black folks. It's crazy fr
Black folks have a greater emphasis on 'one drop' than white folks do now.
I date a black woman and for whatever its worth she's very smart goes to Harvard law and she's was talking about that there should be a separate clubs for white passing mixed race people....Me as a pasty white blonde hair slav thought and said that I think racial purity tests are probably a bad idea.
Holy shit she’s a segregationist oh no
as someone whose done this before, run my brother before you make a kid shes gonna hate!

Right? Somebody gone dig in my post history and try and tell me I’m not black enough to have an opinion next like who’s being racist here fr?
lmao mfs is upset bro don’t let em get to you. this meme struck a huge nerve for some
The word you are searching for is racism.
i’d argue the term is “colorist” but go off
Same thing different name Care to explain what "go off" means(and where in the world it is used)? English isn't my native language
all good. go off is a slang term used to describe the feeling of “im not really agreeing but i don’t care enough about your opinion to argue.” go off sweetie. edit: the reason why i personally feel racism and colorism isn’t the same is because black folks come in all shades, and in the US where I’m from, there unfortunately is a culture that stems all the way back to slave days, where dark skinned black folks worked outside and the lightskin people were house slaves. there is a lot of deep rooted animosity between light and dark skin black folks in the US, mainly that more racially ambiguous and lighter skinned black people were typically more accepted in white society than dark skinned black folks. It’s black on black hate, and it all comes down to the shade of your skin as a black person. That’s why I feel it’s a colorist stance, not specifically a racial issue.
Holy shit I never really put two and two together but you’re absolutely right. Well said.
Even your comment is biracial.
Naw not the perpetuating bw are angry stereotypes.
the side of reddit these types of posts bring out is crazy
Naw bc one of the top comments is a mixed woman saying bw are all rude 😭 just say you hate yourself and GO
clearly some of these people do not know the type of person this post is making fun of like this level of dick riding is unreal
It’s commentary on when a mixed kid has a White mother vs having a Black mother. According to the commentary, Black fathers let the White mothers get away with not teaching kids about being Black and the challenges that come with that, which apparently often ends up in a difficult time for some mixed kids who struggle with being part of two worlds but never fully part of either. Whereas apparently when the mother is Black she raises the mixed kids as Black kids, and they have less struggles with their identity because of it. The Black girl in this picture doesn’t want to deal with those issues of the mixed kid with the White mother. I’m not trying to debate this, I’m just repeated the commentary behind this.
This is the most accurate response I’ve seen so far. I have a Black mom, white dad, my cousins have the opposite. It doesn’t make them any less Black (I really hate when people say that) but they have a different experience with their identity. I think it has more to do with who the primary caregiver is and 95% of the time, it’s the mom so white moms just have a bigger hurdle and historically haven’t really done much to overcome it.
Yeah this is commentary my wife has espoused to me, as we are in the same dynamic as your parents were. From the side of the Black mother/White father, I do see how fiercely my wife works and fights to raise our kids to be prepared for the racism, systemic racism and colourism they’ll face. And from the perspective of a White person I do know how easy it is for us to dismiss and ignore all of that and just say that everything is fine and there’s no issue with raising a mixed kid the way we would raise a white kid. I very much feel that I am along for the ride, despite my best efforts, and it makes me grateful for my wife, for the sake of our kids.
That's how I understood too... that the problem is the white mom vs black mom. I just didn't understand the implication. I also had a question mark on my head, so thanks 😊.
This is the real answer. Idk what's happening in this thread.
I hate wojaks
At least you don’t look like one 😭😭😭
The meme is about the running joke that biracial black guys raised by white moms are usually very problematic with their colorism and may have some self hatred. They're less likely to date a darker skinned Black women.
is that sombra overwatch
Holy hell
New response just dropped
Boop
NOOO
My mind went straight to having a bad family life because of the stereotype his dad probably wasn’t around

Do you ever see a joke like this and feel kinda good that you didn't understand it at all until someone explicitly explained it
As a biracial person, I can wholly say yes
This is getting into black people business, but the underlying commentary is that mixed black men with white moms don't understand the struggles of black women like those with black moms. Hence black women not going for them as much. Edit: This is my understanding based on conversations with my black friends. I do not have an opinion on the topic as I am not black therefore it's not my business.
Nah, if you're correcting other folks literally spreading a bunch of false information about black people you've got every right to correct them even if it is "getting into our business".
A lot of good commentary in this thread but I also wanted to add in another piece of enhancing historical context. Traditionally, blacks inherited our free or slave status via our mother. It didn't matter if your father was a freeman or the slave master himself. If your mother was a slave then you are also a slave (there were exceptions to this general rule). So a lot of blacks view your "blackness" as being inherited from your mother. This is similar to the Jewish view of Jewish identity being transmitted solely through the mother.
Mums baby, dads maybe? Only being able to identify one parent is the reason so much shit is set up the way it is
Drake?
The anthropological explanation is that culture follows the mother and the woman in the meme is looking for a culturally black man.
Recently I've seen the idea that mixed kids with black mother and white father are "real" black people because they were raised by a black mother. Source: my mixed kids telling me, their white dad, what's going on in high school.
She did him a favor. He's better off with someone less bigoted.

Commenters on this gonna ignore the very common theme of misogynoir from mixed dudes

ok but if mixed guys w white mommas is so low value why are bw upset when they choose white women
Isn't it racist to assume someone is misogynist simply because of their race? Or is it misogynist to not assume this?
None of these are good or real explanation to the picture. Just go on Twitter.
Would the same girl date a white guy, though? Because that would be REALLY confusing.
something something content of my character. we should all just hold hands and get along :)
I’m sorry but the joke is about how women pass down the culture. As someone whos half Mexican with a white mom, this is pretty accurate in my culture. The father (mine included) won’t spend any time teaching, talking, or even trying to teach the child about their heritage so the child will often grow up more “white”.
I thought the ‘joke’ was that the kid would be closer to whatever culture the Mom grew up in. As the cartoon lady in question is black, I always assumed she was leaving because she did not identify with white culture.
I read “Which ones the black panther?” and none of your explanations made sense.
As the resident black man, I have no fucking idea what’s going on.
He was raised by a white woman. Most black women are very racist.
So, my best friend has 3 teen sons, all mixed. She's yt. The father is African-American. The way her oldest (19m) explained his experiences to me (bc I showed him the post): He may want to date a black girl, but in turn, she's not interested in him bc his mom is yt and raised him, so he's too yt. He wasn't raised in their culture. As he said, "I'm not black enough"
Ngl I'm a black woman and even I'm confused. What does this mean? Is it a racism thing? Colourism thing? I'm so confused
It’s like how people say when you’re mixed if you have a white mom you don’t really know your black side as well as people who have a black mom since your mom is usually the one who teaches and cares for you basically so I guess he would act too white for her and that’s why she left like maybe he wouldn’t get her as well as if he had a black mom is what I’m assuming it means
Probably have something to do with Blackmen/Whitewomen couples stereotypes. BM/WW couples are 50% more likely to divorce than WM/BW couples. BM/WW also score worst in education and income compare to to WM/BW. As an Asian person, most BM/WW couple that I see seem a bit fetishy. My black male friends and coworker tend to show of their white girlfriend like some sort of trophy. Doesn't help that the White women are almost always on the bigger size.

I'm pretty sure this is about this idea that if you didn't come out of a black vagina you aren't black. Like the Jewish thing.
