Fam, I been around black woman my whole life...
I got nothing but black women in my family. I've gone to predominantly black schools. Until I moved from LA, I lived in a predominantly black neighborhood. I've dated pretty much exclusively black women and the majority of my female friends are black.

I have yet to meet a single black woman in my 3 decades plus of life
who idolize Marilyn fuckin Monroe. I mean, I'm sure some of them are
fans (tho I can't think of one who's ever said so... certainly not to
the extent you'd imagine one would who calls her an idol) but I ain't
see a single Marilyn Monroe poster in a black woman's house ever... and I
once saw a portrait of Black Jesus shaking Tupac's hand with Biggie's
face in the upper right corner... I seen THAT but no Marilyn.
Could it be... and I'm just spit balling here... but could it be that niggas have run out of reasons to bash black women that kinda, sorta (but not really) have some basis in reality and are now just making up shit?
I'm sure many of us have seen the meme claiming that (black) women will pay for a pole dancing class but won't pay for a cooking class... cuz, you know... black women not knowing how to cook is totally a thing that exists... Again, been around black women my whole life and can't think of a single one off top that couldn't throw down in the kitchen should she choose...
But hey, maybe yall have. Maybe you live in a world full of non cooking black chicks... and leprechauns... and purple unicorns... and Marilyn Monroe's Chicken and Waffles chain restaurants.
Maybe you've seen a reality that somehow eludes the rest of us.
Or...
Maybe you bitter ass negros have had your wittle feewings so thoroughly hurt by black women spurning your advances... or expecting your child support on time... or attending and graduating from college at more than double your rate... that you've been driven. fucking. mad..
You're seeing shit that just ain't there
You're suffering from a rare condition called "schitzophrenigga"
You've gone full hotep (you never go full hotep)
Anyway, Ima gon head and step off this here soapbox.
Black women, I love yall...
I love yall in the kitchen, in the class room, in the streetz and on the pole.
Stay beautiful."
