This is especially harmful when the tiny portion of BM with money/resources/connections abandon the Black race--they are ignorant to the facts of their roles and have fallen prey to the illusion that non-Black women are better, just because. They are especially degraceful because if they married a BW, they would immediately improve the status of the Black race and would contribute to the worthiness of BW, which affects their own daughters value system." Pearl Jr. These are some powerful statements aren't they?

Powerful... yes. But Pearl sounds a little bitter to me. A Black man should not stick to Black women just b/c she's black. He should choose the woman that's best for him and for what he wants. Also, I don't buy into there being an "illusion that non-Black women are better, just because". Women of different races are sterotypically known for different things. Everyone is entitled to their own preferences for which traits they find most appealing, regardless of the race where those traits are prevalent.
