Do you remember what you read on the Internet in 2005? Neither do we, which is why we feel absolutely fine visiting (or revisiting) the subject of one Miss Susan Crain Bakos and her deep, intense, oozing, throbbing love for black men—even though, to the best of our knowledge, she has done nothing newsworthy of late.
Bakos, who is apparently very smart and important, has written many books on love, sex, and relationships and topping the New York Press' list of most read articles is her "A White Woman Explains Why She Prefers Black Men." From the very first sentence we knew it would be pure poetry...
"Black skin is thick and lush, sensuous to the touch, like satin and velvet made flesh."
From there, it only gets better. After explaining that, in the beginning, she pretended she was going after black men because white men no longer wanted her over-the-hill body, she finally admits thats her attraction to black men has nothing to do with what she can't have, and everything to do with what she can:
"I want black men. They want me. We look at one another and exchange a visible frisson of sexual energy in the lingering glances."
To each her own, so still totally understandable. Until the next sentence, of course, when it gets weird:
"And our attraction is based first on race."
Huh? (Not that we're not first attracted to bearded men, but all men—regardless of race—look better with beards!)
"We are not those couples who 'happen to fall in love' with someone of a different race or more purposefully come together but out of some greater sense of interracial understanding and respect. Not as politically-correct men and women do we seek one another out. The Internet has made it a lot easier for us to find each other now. Men advertise: ebony seeks ivory. Women write: seeking tall, dark, and handsome. Very dark. We are not the same people who say: Race is not important. It is important to us. We have race-specific desires."
Right, because of the skin. And the sex. After pointing out that "these guys" (are they like That One?) aren't "the marrying kind," Bakos goes into why the sex is so, so, soooooo good.
"They look better than white men, they touch and kiss and make love better than white men. Statistically, their penises are only a fraction of an inch bigger on average, but they seem bigger and harder."
Also, apparently, black men age like a good bottle of wine while white men have the shelf life of, well, white bread.
The article goes on and on and on and on and on.
Obviously, there has been some Bakos backlash.
