Black Women & Exotification/Objectification?

Written by admin on February 14, 2010. Posted in Other - Cultures & Groups

Hey everyone, so I was wondering if anyone else has noticed the subtle exotification/objectification that sometimes can exist in interracial relationships, specifically if the black woman is considered “exotic” (ie-her nationality, I’m Ethiopian for example) or any time they happen to see a dark-skinned, “pretty” black woman (the reason I put “pretty” in quotes is because of the idea many have that dark skinned women aren’t beautiful, we are though!) I’ve had instances where non-black men don’t want to date me long-term, they just want to have sex with me. I don’t dress provocatively so I can’t understand why? What are your thoughts & why do SOME men happen to do this?
@Humor: I didn’t say light skin was better than dark skin, I said dark skinned females who are pretty are objectified more than the light ones in my humble opinion. At the end of the day, we’re all black.
