DiscussionThis might be a bit controversial but I feel like certain white women in a way do sorta fetishize black women
Now it's not a sexual fetishization rather it's the fetishization of the "strong independent black woman who don't need no man" cliche that you'll see a lot of media and even twitter rhetoric, the black female best friend who gives nothing but solid advice to her white friend and nothing else, It's a very bizarre relationship cause In a way it plays into a Mammy trope of turning us into caretakers or mothers for white women while it also masculinizes us greatly so that were not real women in a sense, I know not all white women have this mentality but it's common enough that supposedly woke white women have sorta subconscious backhand that men really don't like us, Some woke white women try so hard to put black women on a pedestal that they end up treating them like “spirit animals” and not people
Like I just wanna be treated as a woman alright by men and other women and be loved and not fetishized
