In Europe it's the same thing: black soccer players with white and blond girlfriends. It's a status thing for them, the highest they can achieve. Also: they want their children to be a white as possible, for which they need white genes.

You see feminism and the whole social push from 60s to now, view white men as "the bad guy", yet white women have benefitted from being out on the pedestal, and all men desiring her. Fratz Fanon's theory goes like this: white men and black women (and women of color) had their relationships. Plus, he had his relationship with white women. But, for the most part, black men and white women were left "disenfranchised". So, when social barriers began to fall, these two got together. Never mind the fact that the media pushes these pairings. And never mind the fact that black women thru-out the Americas and in Europe are view as the go to women for sex. And let's not forget that many of the black athletes in the US are over-whelminv raised by single mothers, or households where the mother calls the shots. So, you have a woman who raises the child, and the male child doesn't see a man who stays with the woman, thus finding her attractive or good enough for a mate. Or you have a child who sees black women as bossy, unfeminine...then you look at these attractive non-black women, who are propped up as the best there is.
