Both letters from "Disgusted White Girl" and "Black Royalty" are racist and/or misinformed.

I have about 8 points, so I'll list 4 of them here, the next 4 in Round 3, and then a final rebuttal and/or conclusion in the last round. Here we go! 1. Black Royalty states, "Back in the day, one of the biggest reasons why black men dated white women was because they were considered easy. The black girls in my neighborhood were raised in the church. They were very strict about when they lost their virginity and who they lost it to. Because of our impatience to wait, brothers would look for someone who would give it up easy without too much hassle. So, they turned to the white girls." It's important that he noted "in my neighborhood," because there are many neighborhoods throughout the country in which ALL or most members of the community are raised in the church, and therefore have the same values, i.e. abstinence until marriage. These concepts apply to certain religions in general and are not determined by race but by faith and choice. In addition, he also prefaced the quote with "back in the day" which is also important; it's a fact that the church's influence on members and non-members alike have significantly declined (Source: http://www.wfu.edu...), and therefore what may have been true back then may not be true today. Also, studies show that one's sociodemographic has little to no relation in regards to their sexual activity. Countless articles support this notion. 2. "A lot of black men, because of insecurities, fears, and overall weaknesses, have become intimidated by the strength of our black women. We are afraid that our woman will be more successful than us, make more money than us, drive nicer cars and own bigger houses. Because of this fear, many black men look for a more docile woman." -- Black Royalty Not only black women have the capacity to be more financially successful than black men, so I really don't understand his point. In fact, according to Forbes International Rich List of Billionaires, there is only 1 black woman billionaire (Oprah... who is the only African American woman on the list, actually) as opposed to 34 white women. And yes, some of them were self-made billionaires. In addition, it's no secret that - for whatever reason - white women make a significant amount more money than black women. I'm not saying that it makes white women more superior, nor am I saying that the "system" is fair in regards to educational opportunities, etc. I'm simply saying that his argument doesn't make sense. He claims that black men are scared that black women will out-earn them, so they turn to white women... even though white women make more money than black women? Um, okay. 3. "Stop thinking that because you are white that you are some type of goddess. Remember, when black Egyptian Queens like Hatsepshut and Nitorcris were ruling Dynasties and armies of men in Egypt, you were over in the caves of Europe eating raw meat and beating each other over the head with clubs. Read your history!" Uh, maybe BR should re-evaluate HIS perception on history. It seems to me that during the 15th Century BC (when Queen Hatshesput ruled over Egypt), white women were NOT "over in the caves of Europe eating raw meat and beating each other over the head with clubs." Actually, Greece - which BR should know is in Europe, since he's so educated and all - was thriving as a civilization and even more advanced than Egyptians in certain aspects of society. In addition, I don't think it's wise for him to compare which race is more civilized. It certainly is subjective. Plus, one could counter his argument by bringing up culture today: Women in Africa are STILL "eating raw meat and beating each other over the head with clubs" ... that is to say that people of the Western world can look at the cultural practices of black people in Africa, and consider their way of life to be uncivilized... perhaps even more-so than the so-called Europeans he is referring to from thousands of years ago. Perhaps some would consider the cultural practices of tribes in Africa as being "worse" because of humanities advancements in science, technology, etc. over the past thousands of years. 4. "It was the black woman that taught you how to cook and season your food. It was the black woman that taught you how to raise your children." First of all, there is no proof that black women taught white people how to season food. Salt is considered a seasoning, and people have been using salt as a staple for thousands of years... most notably the Ancient Romans who based much of their civilization (where they settled, for example) based on their proximity to salt supplies because of its importance to their economy/food consumption/way of life in general. But yeah, maybe black women DID teach white women a lot about seasoning food. That's awesome! I know I love seasonings! But does he really want to start comparing contributions to humanity? I'll take it a step further: While BR credits black women for teaching white people about seasoning to cook and preserve food, he does not mention Emeline Hart who patented the first commercial oven in 1876. Nor does BR recognize Amanda Jones for developing the vacuum canning process for preserving food. So, let's think about this for a second. Which is more prevalent in terms of cooking and preserving food today? Do we rely on seasoning, or would society be more comfortable in the reliability of ovens and canned food in terms are which foods are safer/better to eat? I'll let you decide. My point is that while black women very well may have made contributions throughout the ages, that does not negate what white women have done OR make them inferior. BR also sounds a bit cocky when he claims that black women taught white women how to raise their children. I don't even know how to respond to that; obviously that is a statement with no basis. He references slavery, sure... but white women were raising children long before slavery in America (which is the slavery he is referring to, apparently). 5. "It is the black woman that had to endure watching their fathers, husbands, and children beaten, killed, and thrown in jail." This statement is so irrelevant and out there. Why? Because BR doesn't give any other context clues to let us know what he is talking about. Therefore, one can turn around and accuse him of claiming that ONLY black women had to watch their loved ones get beaten and thrown in jail... which is, of course, completely absurd. If it's the Civil Rights Movement that he's referencing, well, all I can say to that is that he is wrong again; many white people supported African Americans in their struggle for equal opportunity and civil rights, including white (mostly Jewish) lawyers who were sometimes thrown in jail for their contribution to the movement. Also, let us not forget the white women who have seen their husbands get beaten, jailed or killed when they were fighting for other rights in America, such as during the Revoltionary War. And that's only talking about the US! ... But I digress. For now. I only planned to list 4 points, however, the 5th one seemed to be on the same page so I included it here. But I guess what I have tried to point out thus far in the debate is that I feel both black people and white people have struggled and made sacrifices AND contributions to society. One race is not superior over the other. Therefore Black Royalty's letter is WRONG, and, I would argue - completely misinformed. And racist.
