*In this piece written by Alissa Henry of MadameNoire, the topic of black women dating outside of their race is brought up.
Here’s an excerpt from the controversial piece:
If I had to make a list of the stuff that I don’t like, advising single Black women to date outside of the race would be at the very top. I just want to find whoever started that “70 percent of Black women are single” conversation and put them on a rocket ship to outer space with whoever first volunteered that “the solution is to date outside of your race” remark.
I don’t even remember when it started, but apparently, of all of the solutions presented for this so-called “issue”, interracial dating somehow emerged as the groundbreaking cure-all. But I guess as long as you convince people there’s a sickness, anything can be marketed as the antidote.

I agree with this article. Stop telling the African diaspora women to date outside of their race. And stop telling women to date women if they can’t find a good man.
i agree white women have been dating r men for decades, so don’t tell us who to date
