Laydee Gaga Posted October 16, 2024 Report Posted October 16, 2024 Go on Wattpad and see for yourself. About 90% of the most popular romance books written by black women in the last years involve a non black partner and the stats are as high in every other genre, fantasy, science fiction drama quite anything. You can just go check out the most popular books right now. That’s ridiculously high, especially since the other races of women don't do this. Even Asian women have far more books with an Asian male as love interest, and they are supposed to be the self hating demographic. There is even more Asian men in black women fiction than black men as love interest. They also have a very racist depictions of black males characters in their books. They portray them often as aggressive, hyperviolent and are only perpetuating cliches, they are supposed to fight against. Black men are very rarely represented in a good light. If you pick up any book written by a black woman, there is 90% chance that the love interest will be non black. And when the love interest is black he is more often mixed race vs a black man and its black men who are supposed to be the self hating one in the black community when they have far more black women in their media, clips, movies, and comics. Apparently it’s not only expanded to their books but their real life behavior. Its so bad that any and every race writes BW IR stories and books and becomes immensely popular as 95%, if not nearly 100% of the audience is Black women.

I don’t have the data. I don’t think anyone does, but I’m sure this is not true. I say that because I look at a lot of romance and I do see white men on some books. They are in the minority of them and I’ve never seen an Asian man paired up with the black woman in a romance book. You can scan these 500+ Romance titles I’m sure asian man, Black woman, romance novels must exist but again I’m also sure you’ll find more Black men than Asian men paired up with Black women and romance books — especially if they’re written by Black women. I don’t see anything wrong with non-black men paired with black women in romance novels. Now, if non-black men and black women would’ve majority of the titles I would be concerned certainly, but those aren’t the books that I’m seeing, and I look at more books than most. 1
