It’s a topic that has been discussed in the African-American community for years: can you actually love your black skin and your black people if you choose to love and date outside your race?
A Twitter user and pro-black advocate named Cynthia took LaVar Ball and Shannon Sharpe to task for being so pro-black while dating and sleeping with white women.
Cynthia, who states her main focus is on repairing the black relationship, believes Sharpe, who was falsely accused of rape by a white woman and reportedly is engaged to one now, can’t be pro-black while doing his part to sustain white supremacy. It's a hot conversation, but is she right?
Check out what she had to say below, as well as Sharpe's response:
Black Men accept LaVar Ball & Shannon Sharpe (who never dated black wmn) having white spouses & consider them pro black because, they spend part of their time talking about racism & part time sleeping with white women but, Halle Berry & Serena Williams are Sellouts & Bed Wenches. pic.twitter.com/ZfkICHAXqp— Cynthia G (@Cynthia_G1984) November 23, 2017
Exactly. We should not allow black men to have this double standard without correcting them. Lavar Ball & Shannon Sharpe are dedicated to whiteness but, they are pro black. Black men want to be dedicated to WW but, pretend to dislike WM. Nah Bruh, it don't work like that.— Cynthia G (@Cynthia_G1984) November 23, 2017
That doesn't apply to this conversation nor is it accurate. Bob marley is a product of coonin & clearly had a white male patriarchy mentality like his white father so, his opinion is irrelevant here.— Cynthia G (@Cynthia_G1984) November 23, 2017
If anyone is confused as to who is committing black genocide via interracial dating the most, I hope this makes things clear for you. This is according to Pew Research. Black people are obsessed with dating white people, who are still the least likely to date other races. pic.twitter.com/JGCiSMLII4— Cynthia G (@Cynthia_G1984) November 23, 2017
Many black men are focusing on the 7% of black men married to WW, which seems low but, ignore the amount of black men who date & impregnate WW at very high rates making them the biggest non white contributor to white supremacy. I'm sure they're very grateful for your contribution pic.twitter.com/M4ZQKpkKXq— Cynthia G (@Cynthia_G1984) November 23, 2017
The more indoctrinated black people become, the more their desire to marry their oppressor grows, specifically for black men, again making them the biggest non white contributors to white supremacy via interracial marriage. One more reason we cannot progress as a people. pic.twitter.com/HXtmGBjmZf— Cynthia G (@Cynthia_G1984) November 23, 2017
Not that it’s yours or anyone else’s DAMN business who I date. I don’t date for approval and don’t need you or others to confirm who or what I am. Enjoy your day. https://t.co/3r4BIPBx3C— shannon sharpe (@ShannonSharpe) November 24, 2017
