Taboo : a social or religious custom prohibiting or restricting a particular practice or forbidding association with a particular person, place, or thing.
Tell someone not to do something, and you're almost guaranteed that their curiosity will get the better of them and they'll want to try it.
I suppose, it is hard-wired into humans to crave what they can't have or are not supposed to have.
Ok, I get that maybe in the 60s or even 70's, those thoughts about sexual relations or partners with Blacks might have lingered. But still in 2019, well into the digital age?
Let's put it into a little historical perspective: Why are American blacks, consistently singled out by whites for this idea of taboo?
Take people from countries which have been open hostile to America and have even murdered, kidnapped, tortured americans. Think back to Sep 11, hundreds of marines slaughtered in 1983 barracks bombing in Lebanon. Even going back to WW2, Germans and Japanese slaughtering Americans by the thousands. These were people who wanted to destroy this country and everything it stood for.
However no one thinks its taboo to date germans or Japanese or middle-easterners or americans with origins in those countries.
Ironically, black americans who have fought and defended America in the war of independence and every war America has fought since, are still considered to be taboo? Yet people from other countries and regions who considered America an enemy are not? Puzzling.
It's obvious that this idea of 'taboo' is not projected onto other racial combinations. I read a while ago of a white woman saying in a forum that she has taken her arab boyfriend to many places in the US, including in the deep south and has never had any problems. Another guy, a Japanese American stated that this issue of hostility to IR relationships honestly speaking, applies more to certain combinations than others (he was obviously being diplomatic and didn't want to specify), as he saidhe has never encountered any hostility with his white partner wherever they have travelled to.
Is hardly surprising however, when whites single out blacks people to consistently portray as "different" from everyone else, you take pleasure in ridiculing and belittling and marginalizing them, you actively encourage people of other races and from other countries in private conversations to view them the same way you do, How wouldn't they be thought of as taboo when you almost take pleasure in portraying them in that light?
You've got to give it to the whites, though: They create this mind-set of relations and sex with black americans being taboo and put it out there to take root, then these very same whites turn around and come to hide on places like this to exploit this whole idea of taboo for their sexual benefit. That's cynical and smart. Create an effect, let it multiply and then turn around and exploit and benefit from what you have created. Smart.
As a white woman said in a forum here recently: "Of course sex with them [American blacks] is still taboo; that is what makes the sex soooo good"
So next time you hear whites (and yes, a few dumb blacks) say they enjoy "the taboo" of sex with black americans, think about what they mean, as in what they are really thinking, but would never dare to say out loud.
So, this idea of a taboo. Something to be enjoyed by certain types or an outdated offensive idea which should be buried with haste and forgotten?
