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

Scared white men, mainly. Look, back in the olden days it was fashionable for rich dudes to have a young wife and a lot of manservants. The rich old dude would be away a lot for business, because even crossing the Atlantic took a couple of weeks at times never mind cross country. The wife would be left alone to make her own entertainment. The idea of being cuckolded by a servant would drive the rich old dude into a frothing rage. The thought that a mere servant would get vagina privileges was incensing. Now make the servant black. That a servant, a nigger servant, might manage to unlock his wife's girdle for free when all they had was the pick of the prostitutes of old London town at ten shillings a night, made the rich, paranoid, old white dudes go bananas.

Now they couldn't come out and say that the wife might like an attentive lover, and the black boot boy might just be a better lover, cause that would be an insult to their socio-economic status, so it had to be the evil blacks that cruelly raped and stole the pretty white wife away. Hence all blacks were out to get some white piece of ass. And since rich old white dudes controlled the means of communication far more tightly than old Rupert Murdoch's shrivelled dick does today, they quickly got it put about that black men wanted the white wimmen folks. And the dumbasses of the day believed them, just as they believe Rupert's dick today.

nah they were hella afraid of the black men being better lovers. or did you just miss the part where everyone also said that black dudes had massive dicks.

more significantly, the point that AYRT is asking about isn't why are black men portrayed as lusting after the white women; it's why white women are portrayed as lusting after the black men

Technically, it is both. The fear of powerful, but repressed, white men was that their women would seek to supplant them and that the blacks would be stealing their female-property.

Right, I'm just pointing out that anon was emphasizing the Frightening Black Man half of the narrative, which is not the relevant part of it to emphasize in this context.
