Why does light-skinned Beyonce with long straight blondish colored hair represent the "beautiful black woman", or Halle Berry who is only half black? Most black guys either want to be with lighter skinned black girls, or white girls.
Bullshit. There is nothing about "black culture" that places a premium on light skin. Some black men prefer lighter skin and some darker, that's it. The same goes for white men, some can't stand the sight of a pasty white woman and others prefer pale skin.
Beyonce and Halle Berry are anointed as beautiful by the entertainment industry not by black people, I personally do not like either. If you ask black men to name the most beautiful black women, some will say Nikki Minaj who is brown, some Alicia Keys who is light, and others, Gabrielle Union who is darker.

The main reason "street" acting black guys get play overseas is because of the glamorization of their culture on television and movies. Most of the overseas cultures have influences from American entertainment sources, and that places black guys in a sort of curiosity status overseas in some countries.
Again, bullshit. I have noticed that whenever white (or non-black) men get overlooked abroad in favor of black men, some of them have a tendency to rationalize it with some nonsensical reason like hip hop culture or the myth of bigger penises or whatever. The fact of the matter is, according to the European women I have questioned about this, is that these women are simply more attracted to black men than they are to white men. Plain and simple. If you are not mature enough to accept that many women in the world are not like American women and they PREFER black men to you, then you need to grow up and get over it.

I'm sorry if any of this came off as racist....
It comes of more as presumptuous arrogance then racism. If girl X likes a black man, move on. Don't whine about it and claim that she is curious about hip hop and big dicks. She is not into you and she is in to the black dude!
