Reddit mentions of Negro Wars - A Short And Critical Examination Of The Modern Day Black Woman: The Destroyer Of The Black Community And The Cause Of The Up And Coming Civil Battle

I've noticed several people ITT wondering at why an African woman would make a film that seemingly offers no advantage to her (or even puts her and other African women at a disadvantage) dating-wise.

It's also possible this documentary may not have been made with the intention of promoting black men with asian women, but it happened anyway because quite a few of these men do end up with locals.

But this phenomenon being described - women of other groups recommending non-asian men to find asian women, definitely happens too.

If you look on Lily Petals World's videos (A Korean youtuber now married to an African man from Kenya), especially the ones about why she loves black men, you'll see even a few black american women in the comments encouraging her and saying how cute it is.

Maybe such women just have a very low mateguarding instinct; either they are simply used to seeing men dating out (I hear this is a common experience for African-American women) and accept it, or don't see it as a threat to themselves, like if they were also desired due to a racial fetish (As could be the case with the filmmaker).



A lot of people (not referring to you guys ofc) tend to assume that Africa is home to a monolithic entity of black people. Even some black americans think this way (usually afrocentrists) but this is most assuredly not the case. There is division and even tension amongst Africa's various nations, racial and ethnic groups.

The creator of this film is an East African Somali. Apparently East African women fetishise West African men (Particularly Nigerians) and vice versa. Who knows, she could even be seeing a West African man in China. This may be of help explaining why she made such a documentary.



Nigerian forum discussing dating Somalis. The general consensus seems to be that Somali men with Nigerian women is not as common for cultural reasons, yet the opposite happens frequently in places where the two populations intermingle (e.g. The US). One poster remarks that Somalis and other Horn Africans are like the "Asians of Africa" (because apparently their penises are tiny):

This also happens with women from neighbouring Ethiopia. Usually it's Ethiopian women who are praised for their lighter features:

A Nigerian man wrote this book which oddly focuses on demonising black american women while reocmmending black american men to date out:

Some Somalis also have creation myths about Arab men coming to Somalia from the Gulf and starting local clans by intermarrying with Somali women.

>Sheikh Isaaq Bin Ahmed was one of the Arabian scholars that crossed the sea from Arabia to the Horn of Africa to spread Islam around 12th to 13th century. He is said to have been descended from Prophet Mohammed's daughter Fatimah. Hence the Sheikh belonged to the Ashraf or Sada, titles given to the descendants of the prophet. He married two local women in Somalia that left him eight sons, one of them being Abdirahman (Awal). The descendants of those eight sons are the what is known as Isaaq clan today.
