Why are the women that pick Black men as a preference never like hard-working and faithful Black men?

So I will preface this by saying that this is a serious post, and not some racist ragebait. All responses to this should be thoughtful, and I apologize in advance if this comes across as offensive as this is not my intention for the post.

So I have noticed that when it comes to any race, there are usually 3 kinds of people:

1) Those that like them (their type)

2) Those that are indifferent to them (a. k. a. equal opportunity daters)

3) Those who aren't attracted to them.

In case you're wondering, I'm only referring to group 1 here and not group 2. If you're with a Black man but you're OK with everyone, this isn't referring to you.

There are a group of women (of all races) that choose Black men as their type and for whatever reason, these women always end up going for the same type of guy. Dark-skinned, tall with Dreads and tattoos. OK, that might have been a cliche, but you get my point.

These women have their idea of "what it means to be Black" and if you as a Black man don't fall into that, they call you lame. If you don't smoke weed, play basketball, listen to hip hop or use the n word, to them you're "white". As a Black man myself, I find it extremely offensive that someone thinks my Blackmess is tied to my behavior rather than my lived experience.

If you're a Black man that watches anime, listens to pop, plays chess and plays the guitar, you're not Black to them. If you're a Black man that's not from the hood, you're not Black to them. If you're a Black man that's not toxic or abusive, you're not Black to them.

Being a Black man isn't all about the struggle, some of us grew up with amazing parents that took care of us. For those that did not, I empathize with you and I respect you. I however don't want my image to be associated with every negative aspect of you, and I hope you understand.

So if you are in category 1 from what I have listed, can you please stop demanding toxicity from Black men? It doesn't help anyone.
