Reality Check By Veronica Blakely Arthur of "I Want What Most White Women Got: A Black Man" vs-voice Chocolate brown butt so round For all the world to see. Fine as wine, just my kind But why doesn’t he want me? Tall or short, he loves to court The ladies in the mall Wide of girth with lots of worth But none for me at all. Blue-collar white collar it doesn’t matter Black men are all the rage! Brown, caramel, cinnamon or smoke I say hello and they don’t even wave. “What’s going on?” I ask myself Have I been hiding under a rock? Black men used to love black women Now to white women they seem to flock. Don’t fret you say and keep holding on Things will change in time. Or I could do just like the Brothas But I’m not of the mind to cross the line. Black men look the same and so do I When did dating start to change? I alter my hair, my weight and my clothes They don’t notice my looks have been rearranged. Then it dawned on me, a frightening reality My changes don’t matter in spite Of my weight, my smile or even my hairstyle Cause’ Brothas prefer women who are “light” or white. Since I am neither, and I don’t aspire to be I am comfortable with who I am But suddenly this dating thing Makes me feel like I ain’t worth a damn! I’m not angry, just a little perplexed What is a Sistah to do? Does this mean Brothas are off limits And my future with one is through?! I refuse to believe that in spite of the trends I won’t give up and I’ll do all I can Cause I want exactly what most white women got And that’s the love of a BLACK MAN!
