One of the most prickliest of subjects … is “prickliest” a word?
Probably not as prickly for younger people as it is for my generation, but why such a big deal, you ask?
It’s about power. Malcolm X, in his famous autobiography, revealed that for many black men, it was a status symbol to bang white women (look it up, I don’t make this shit up). These black men didn’t give a shit about the white women, they just wanted that prestigious notch on their bedposts.
So how does Joe Whiteguy react? In a number of ways. Some of them react in fury, ala the Ku Klux Klan. Some of them find it erotic; check out Susan George’s sex scene with boxing champ Ken Norton in 1975’s Mandingo. That movie turned me on, and I’ll wager I’m not alone.
Where does that leave us now? Easy. If the black dude/white babe seem to be together for legitimate reasons … cool. If, on the other hand, the black dude is simply bonking blonde for power reasons (which seemed to be the case with this older, black music honcho, on a recent episode of Celebrity Family Feud, in which his blonde-bimbo, big-titted wife was obviously a trophy) … that ain’t good.
Have you seen the Hillary-Barack sex tape?
