"In the 1960's the average white woman did not have the chemical advantages of today. They were plain in many ways, but full of boast among their peers in the presence of 'lesser citizens'. It was an unmistakable air they had trying to make up for what they considered their deficiencies in the face of Colored women, Hawaiians, Filipino, Chinese, West African, and Caribbean women.  With the exceptional and stunning white beauties who lowered the esteem of every woman in every town white women had, as I recall, a complex. There were things to consider everyday as they measured themselves against the silent judgement of those they deemed less than them, greater than them, and with their critical eye for shame they could find a variety of things, others would pay no never mind to, to be self-conscious about!

Their hair was pretty much left alone meaning they paid attention to it following the latest styles, but they had to rely on the techniques of the times to care for their hair. Looking back it was the emphasis upon it being straight they would dangle in front of kinky haired Negroes to envy and covet. White women's hair seemed to be dry, and usually did not shine. It was stringy, or curly or bone straight, and the smell of their hair was often lost to the nose by the tang of their skin's odor. Of course this did not apply to every woman, but the numbers it did made it acceptable to draw the stereotype. There were none of the products of today about, and women learned how to enhance their small breasts, or draw attention from their narrow hips and flat bottoms. The cultural revolution of the 1960's was clouding the perception of pure white skin as the adornment of the Gods. White women, with the exception of poor white women, wrestled with the sun's ability to display the frailties of white skin against the gorgeous skin of brown people and black people.

Many Black revolutionaries developed a malicious type of deception around white women's support for the Black Movement. The altar for guilt and believing in them and their cause was in bed. A lot of white women had deep regret and grief over the way whites treated and thought of Negroes, and had sex with Black men who knew how to compound that guilt with rhetoric, and pictures of Black men lynched by white mobs. The sound of Black rage in speeches and tirades spread many a pair of pale legs wide! Many Black activists were pussy hounds, and well into the 21st century there are still some preying on white women in the name of avenging the rape of their Black sisters by plantation owners, and overseers!

What to do with all of this is predicated upon how well, and how deeply you know and understand the complex history, and relationships built around slavery, reactions to it, the complexities of consensual sex between white and Blacks, and the economics around all of it. Underneath all of these things is a deep introspective study of your beliefs, and the foundational truths of your family, culture, and government. The probes deep into who you are is the best strategy to grasp what occurred in the dynamics between rage and lust I just spoke about." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 8.28.12
