“West Wilson represents a very specific archetype of white man. He’s the guy who gravitates toward Black people for the cultural cache – the fashion, the music, the energy. He surrounds himself with Black friends, absorbs Black culture as his entire personality, and uses that proximity as evidence of his open-mindedness. He’ll mess around with Black women, because he is attracted to them, but that attraction doesn’t extend into commitment or protection. “
This is a big reason I steer clear of dating white men. I'm not keeping you warm for the white woman you'll inevitably marry and build a life with. No thx!
This is why I don't seek out intimate relationships (platonic, romantic, etc) with white people. I don't trust them. I really believe they don't see us as people. They don't see us as deserving of care and consideration.
