Fully agree with this sentiment and wholly support this movement...my question as a cis white male is what can i do to express that I’m not fetishizing a black man that I’m trying to pursue? I don’t (that i know of) microaggress or talk explicitly about anything related to appearance or possible stereotypes, but still, feel like i can’t openly approach some black men that i find attractive for fear that my attention isn’t welcome or going to be accepted as not fetishizing (lots of double negatives there sorry haha).
Guess i keep shooting my shot? Just want to create the open and inclusive environment that we’re all striving for but am very in my head about how to go about doing so balancing accompliceship and not fetishizing
