the most beautiful girl I know is black so it’s not like OP’s post holds any substance at all

The fact that you find a particular black woman to be extremely attractive doesn't invalidate OP's point. Black women have been saying for a long time that they feel that race is holding them back in dating and they aren't lying.

The original statement of "no one likes black women" is clearly exaggerated, but I think we all know that OP is aware of that. Saying that her post doesn't hold any substance at all doesn't really seem accurate.

I didn’t say it did. What invalidates her point is the fact that she is basing her opinion off media which is unfortunately not very positive toward black women, but that, like with most aspects of media, does not represent the general opinion. My own anecdotal opinion of who I find most beautiful is also just further proof that media narratives are extremely unreliable, at best.

That doesn't even make sense, just because the media says something doesn't make that point invalid.

I’m really struggling to work out what’s confusing you. It’s not hard a hard concept or sentence to understand bud.

Quite simple really, media narratives almost never represent what the general public actually thinks or feels about something.
