I personally am asexual and black and I personally believe black women are better off single objectively.
Racism and patriarchy are global and men tend to only value women based on social capital. Since racism deems black people as a whole as inferior, and black women even moreso on account of being black and women, men worldwide see black women as inferior (in looks, morals, as mothers, as wives, etc...) compared to other races of women
It's also been studied that men of all races view darker skin as inherently masculine and more promiscuous so they subconsciously view women with darker skin as less feminine and more promiscuous. This is where the stereotype of black women being hypersexual came from.
My question is why aren't more black women choosing to be single rather than get into relationships that are no doubt harmful to their mental and physical health.
It's been studied that men of all races (including black men) view black women as inferior and don't want to date them. And the black women who do get married are often very light or biracial. Black women aren't ugly, hence why guys have no problem sleeping with them, but in the system of white supremacy
Black women are more likely to be raped or sexually assaulted than other groups in America, most likely to be suffer from domestic violence and be killed, and are more likely to suffer from PTSD (over 25% of black women in America have PTSD).
Black women are more likely to be killed when getting into a relationship than other groups of women and young black girls (60%) are abused by a male family member ex. father, uncle, brother
Why aren't more black women choosing to be single rather than vying for relationships where you'll most likely be abused and mistreated?
