White girls and women are fetishizing Black men in bizarre TikTok videos that include rap songs, comments about physical attributes, and tags like #mytype or #Blackmen.


The Daily Dot reviewed nine videos where white women objectified Black men, including seven on TikTok and two posted by Twitter users calling out the creators.

Most of the videos following the trend have thousands of likes on TikTok.

In a video with almost 4,500 likes, user @ms_k_mc appears makes faces alongside the text “Men I like.” Four options pop up: “White men,” “Asian men,” “Mexican men,” and “Island men.” She uses her fingers to shoot down each of the options before presenting above her the ultimate choice: “Black men” with the heart and fire emojis.

In another video, user @bebegirl0018 says “no” to a running list of ethnicities and races before the option “BLACK MEN??” appears on the screen and she nods in approval. Her video is tagged with #mytype, #blackguys, and #blackmen.

User @halpal__ shared a video with the caption, “WHERE ARE MY DARK CHOCOLATE BOYS” and expressed her preference for “specifically dark chocolate” men.



“Just to clear the air—no, I don’t date white boys,” she says. “I do date mixed boys, I like y’all little caramels okay. Y’all is fine as shit. But if you are chocolate, specifically dark chocolate—baby boy!”
In another video, a user posted the caption, “I fetishize black men what abt it?”


Twitter users called out one woman for fetishizing Black men. A TikTok video shows her saying, “So sweet, wonderful personalities….your kisses and your hugs just hit different … For all my chocolate men out there, who said it was OK to be that fine?”


According to the tweet, the video was uploaded by a TikTok user with a private account.

“Yes my dad is OK with me dating Black guys,” the woman says later in the video.


It’s not clear what prompted the video trend, but people on social media are expressing their issues with the content.

“Stop this trend of fetishizing black men in tiktok,” one Twitter user wrote. “It’s weird and uncomfortable to watch. Just say you like black men and go.”


The fetishization tied up in the #Blackmen TikTok trend is especially problematic given America’s historyof white women—and society at large—using Black men as scapegoats for any criminal activity. In the 19th Century, Black men accused of sexually assaulting white women faced the death penalty, but white men accused of the same did not.

The historical problem has resulted in a psychological syndrome called “Blame a Black Man Syndrome,” according to Psychology Today, wherein either an imaginary Black man or an innocent, existing Black man are accused of a crime. According to psychiatry professor Rob Whitley, men who have been falsely accused of crimes can endure psychological damage “similar to that seen in torture survivors.”

I do know from talking to normal White men (who I wouldn't think of as racist) that they generally reject the idea of dating Black women outright, even if they're open to dating other women. Usually they claim they don't like the dark skin.

I don't think I would call that line of thinking racist, but for some reason it strikes me bizarre. Like, the thing keeping you from dating a particular race is tantamount to a melanin colorswap. That's hysterical to me.

From what I heard a black woman dating a white guy is seen as moving up, although that brings its own problems with claims from other black people about "race betrayal" and whatnot.

And, the general consensus I've found is that when a Black woman does pair with a White man, it's usually a pairing of two upper-class people, whereas the Black man, White woman pairing tends to be of two lower-class people.

I don't think I would call that line of thinking racist, but for some reason it strikes me bizarre. Like, the thing keeping you from dating a particular race is tantamount to a melanin colorswap. That's hysterical to me.

I find it very petty and I think it's applied very inconsistently.

I think that a lot of the guys who claim they don't like dark skin are really using that as an excuse for finding Black women uglier, generally speaking, and then the reason for that being their faces. Because when people who feel that way make an exception, they generally make it for a Black woman who has a face with a more European-looking structure, probably but not necessarily with a higher percentage of mixed heritage. In my opinion, the European face with the dark skin tends to look quite pretty, but it's also a somewhat uncommon look.

I also think there's a social bias to it that people just don't want to admit, like that they're afraid of people silently laughing at them.

This isn't a new thing....

You ain't joking. I was reading 1001 Arabian Nights and they were talking about how waaaaaaay the fuck back Middle Eastern Men would leave the women home whenever they traveled to Africa cuz there otherwise that thirst would be unstoppable.

For an ancient book of stories them tales are based as fuck.

 

[Drunk and Pour]

This has always made me laugh. I'd hear black men proudly claim that they are steal white women from us. But in my experience, the white women dating black men were redneck chicks with racist parents. I'm like, you can have them.

Most men who use that excuse do so because explaining that the typical facial structure of a black woman, EG a round head with wide nose and large lips and large jaw, is butt ass ugly. Not many are attracted to the face of a bonobo. But explaining that african facial structure isnt attractive will get you labeled a racist anyway after 5 minutes of explaining, so just jump to "dont like darkies" and be done with it.

Don't really give a shit if it's a thot

If you're a guy though and you fetishize other dudes skin tones, then you're most likely a closeted homosexual

That's one hell of a filter she's using for her profile pic. Let's see if I can find one that's not shopped to hell and back.

I can see why she wrote this article. It must be frustrating having every brother you see passing you up for a piece of Two Ton Tina's big ol god damn ass.

She puts on lipstick the same way I put on lipstick when I do my impression of a woman - crazily.

So, have you noticed that, at least on certian channels, there's been a real rash of Black Woman, White Man pairings in commercials? You'll see commercial after commercial after commercial with Black Woman White Man.

I think what happened is that they played Black Man White Woman so much that people got used to it, and so there wasn't really a point in doing it anymore. It's considered normal, now, even though in reality white women who aren't landwhales tend to avoid black men for dating partners. But black woman, white man? That's not normal yet. It makes people crane their heads. So they, practically overnight, started a media blitz of it.

While I definitely agree that part of the appeal of the bmww pairing was its novelty, I also think a big part of it is that it isn't difficult to find classically good looking black men to pair with a classically good looking white woman. Meanwhile the inverse is crazy difficult, and it's not helped by the pool of classically attractive black women being a fraction of a percent of the modelling game. That said, novelty is the major factor in all of it, because you want to make people look twice, that's how you sell ads.

(I think another major factor is that white men haven't historically given a shit if they were 'represented', they can identify with a black guy maybe not just as well as with a white guy, but well enough for it not to matter. Meanwhile white women are too insecure to let black women stand in for them. I don't have any data to back that up though.)

I find it very petty and I think it's applied very inconsistently.

I am one of those guys who doesn't find black women attractive in general, unless they have non African features. I was thinking about what you said and you are totally right, it's the faces that put me off. A lot of black women have mannish features, and I just don't find them attractive. I know, however, that it would be racist to say 'I don't find black women attractive', because I have seen black women I do find attractive. More importantly though, I know it would be devastating as a woman to hear some guy say you look like a man, so it is easier - and it seems less racist somehow - to just say I don't find black women attractive.

Personally, I find black women as attractive as I find women of pretty much any race, but the elephant in the room is that I also find men attractive. Maybe I just don't mind manly features on a woman, but I don't know if I'd call African features manlier than European features. Just different, really.

What is the author of the article? Black? Indian? Mixed?

I think any obsession with race she could have might come from a lack of well established identity

I don't give a fuck. I'm Irish and if a bunch of supermodels heard my accent and said "I've always wanted to fuck a leprechaun!" I'd be on that shit like white on rice. If racial/ethnic bigotry can get you laid I'm all in favour of it.

That's a whole subplot of Love, Actually: a loser brit realises he's ordinary in London so he travels to USA where a bunch of hot women find him cute.

Humans feel attracted to what they consider exotic, oh noes, the tragedy!

One of my white friends married a black guy, and they said the vast majority are trailer trash, and think my friend and her husband are too just because of their races. It's to the point where they try to avoid other bm/ww couples.
