I really did not want to write this post, but the time has come. Kodak Black recently said that he doesn't find Black women attractive.
So once again, there is a black man who would rather date a white or Latino woman rather than a black woman.
If you do not know who Kodak Black is, consider yourself lucky. Kodak Black is a Florida rapper with a long rap sheet of legal troubles. The one case of his that has shaken me to my core was the one that revealed details of him being accused of sexual battery. Apparently, at the end of one of his performances in Florida, he brought a female fan to his hotel room and repeatedly bit her, tore off her clothes, and raped her as she screamed for help.
So Here's What I Think: I was never a fan of Kodak Black. I had listened to a few of his songs and wasn't that impressed. But after reading about this after it happened, I didn't particularly find it difficult to stop listening to him. Kodak Black is the type of rapper that Hip Hop will not abandon. He has that angry sound that is the kind of staple to rap music. However, his violent past, sexual assault allegations, and constant legal trouble will not be enough to kick him out of the rap scene. And now that he is saying that he doesn't find black women attractive, which is another thing that black men love to constantly repeat. I cannot tell you why black men say they hate black women when their mothers are black women.
Constantly giving sexual abusers opprotunities to perform in front of huge crowds is another way society silences sexual assault victims. Someone can come forward and name their rapist, but nothing happens to the rapist. You will hear people calling sexual assault allegations "career ending statements", however, Chris Brown is still selling out stadiums, Bill Cosby got off with a mistrial, and now Kodak Black is not in jail like he should be. He also represents the types of black men who will be as pro-black as black women are, but will speak hate to that same black woman. I personally don't know how Kodak Black has the confidence to say these things about black women when he literally looks like a dusty dirty old toiletbrush.
Black men will always try to tell black women how they should act, wear their hair, how long their skirts should be, and what they should be do regarding their future. These misogynistic ideals that men hold onto so tightly are not helpful for the community. Black women are not made to praise and please black men. If you want to date only white and latino women, then do that. But it is completely unnecessary to disparage black women's appearances that the same white women you are dating are paying money to acheive. If you want to hate black women and not date them, do that. But you better keep your mouth shut when black women decide to date outside of their race. Because at least we know how do that without saying hateful things about black men that we learned from the Eurocentric dialouge we have been fed since we were young.
