Understand that there's nothing wrong with liking it. Regardless of race, men should be free to enjoy black male characters as vessels for power fantasies, especially if it means hooking up with hot white women.
The actual problem with BMWF pairings in contemporary media is that starting with the 2010s, there's been a push to depict mixed-race couples in media (you can blame Blackrock for this) in order to make as much money as possible. Nobody would have a problem with this on paper, it's just that
>it's always BMWF and never any other type of pairing
>black men are usually depicted as emasculated/effeminate/flamboyant/boyish/overly polite/nerdy, and aren't encouraged to stray outside of being non-threatening
This is in sheer opposition to how the 90s and early 2000s treated black men in the media, a time before black men's portrayals were being made with white women in mind. They could be manly and...well, black.
>black men could be edgy/use non-PC comedy/dark and aggressive/cool and scary/confident and bold/stoic and authoritative/level-headed and snarky
In the attempt to reduce racism, modern portrayals of black men are actually making non-black men more racist towards black men. I remember being a kid and growing up with all kinds of black protagonists in movies and I didn't think for a second "man, I hate black men" because these stories didn't try to obscure the fact that they were about black people or censor that they were masculine. For as much as women harp about racism, they don't understand that men don't give a shit about race as much as they do. Men will see Blade or Spawn and then go "literally me" and abandon whatever racism they might have had at the door.
You could never get a Blade movie released now because the idea of an authoritative stoic black gigachad hunting vampires and then slamming ebony pussy scares the shit out of white women.
