White Women Do It, Too: 8 Things Black Women Can’t Get Away With

April 16th, 2011 - By LaShaun Williams


1. Sex on the first date.
Make that the first three months. Black women have to be especially strategic when it comes to giving up the goods. It is often an immediate dealbreaker if sexual intimacy happens too soon. Black men are turned off by black women they perceive as easy. However, for white women, it works a little differently. Black men cannot compare them to the female staples (mothers, grandmothers, aunts, etc.) in their lives; thus, there are lower standards. Doing backflips and tongue tricks on the first date can land her a significant other.

    This is all ridiculous. If a white online magazine had written this, we would all be in up roar. Why are you making it public what black women can and cannot do compared to white people. If I ever have strong black daughters I surely hope they never compare themselves to other people let alone another race. Such stupidness that you’re letting people limit what they can do with there free will. When I see a black girl who is talking loudly on the phone, I think as lowly of her as I would a white girl. I thought these days we were being taught to be color blind. Such a shame.

    While I agree with some of the content (like the single mother scenario), for the most part I find this article to be ridiculous. There are plenty of things white women can’t get away with, that black women can. For instance, no matter how racist this is, black women dating outside of their race is seen as an upgrade. White women dating a black or Hispanic man automatically makes them white trash. Black women who wear their natural hair are seen as unique and beautiful, and held up as examples to be admired for their fearlessness and being impervious to societal pressure. Curly or wild hair on a white woman is seen as unprofessional, and weird, and “trying to be black.” No one gives a second thought to a curvy black woman, not even if she’s wearing revealing clothes. Curvy white women are called “fat”, no matter what the measurements are, and they’re expected to be ashamed of their curves and cover them up at all times. And there are plenty of things black people get away with that white people probably wouldn’t WANT to, like black men casually calling each other racial slurs or making a generalized statement about all people of their race. And I totally disagree with the comment about attitude–to be attractive, white women are expected to be smiling, giggly, and “cute” at all times.
