(frozen comment) Re: where does the idea that white women love black men come from

[(Anonymous)]

It's not just about white women loving black men - it's part of a broader (basically racist) narrative about black people generally, which basically has two parts:

1) black people (and black men in particular) are seen / portrayed as "animalistic" or "bestial" or "primal". There's a broader concept in which different people are races are positioned on a continuum between "civilized" and "primitive". Black people tend to be positioned at the 'primitive' end of the spectrum, which means that they're regarded as less intelligent but more physically fit, more spiritually attuned, etc - having all the virtues and the vices that Western European civilization in the 19th century assigned to the primitive.

2) there's a persistent neurosis and anxiety for men about the sexuality of women which regards them as being unable to resist their sexual desires, of those desires being uncontrollable. At least in the West, this is often closely linked to the idea of the exotic other (see for instance Dracula). And because the above narrative about black people plays massively into the same basic idea about Desire and Primitiveness, there's an obvious confluence between those two things.

There's probably other elements to it - for instance in America a specific anxiety about slavery and racism - but I think that's the main source of it.
