WHAT MAKES OTHER CULTURES ATTRACTED TO THE BLACK WOMAN ?
A club ; few nights back ; as my friend and I rested our backs against the bar , our attention was instantly caught by two dark-skinned girls as they sauntered towards the DJ booth . My friend and I were identical in our drooling expression ; but our difference lay in skin colour ; I ’ m black ; he ’ s white . This moment-of-attraction was instantly recalled when asked to discuss why other races find black women attractive . I recall thinking the exact same question as I noticed the lust of my friend towards these chocolate beauties . As a non-black , what made him desire these girls ? The fixation of the world on the black man is so large at times that it ’ s easy to forget that the black woman is equally desired by those other than her own race . I believe this attraction surmounts to the following :
Firstly , the black woman is desired as an exotic creature ; her beauty is beguiling . She is the other ; the phrase ‘ opposites attract ’ instantly comes to mind . Just like white male photographer in Wole Soyinka ’ s play ‘ The Lion and the Jewel ’, other races see the black woman as a mystical creature that they want to capture ; both artistically and sexually .
The black woman is seen as a creature that other races even feel sometimes too inferior to approach . I remember later discussing those two black girls with my friend ; and after telling him to go chat with them , he told me that they would never be into a ‘ skinny white boy ’ and that they would judge his appendage against the endowments of their male counterparts .
