First of all, there’s the myth that exploitation of Black people is how Whites show interest, appreciation or approval. Thus, when this occurs, because we live in a White supremacist society where White approval and being viewed “positively” in the White Gaze is the most important goal to reach, naturally when they exploit us for fame, platform, cash, position within Black society and power, some Black people view this as “love” for Black people. Whites like this can especially improve their “cred” by sleeping with or marrying Black people or even better, make themselves professional allies where they speak for Black people as a monolithic group where a White microphone is required. Some Whites are considered rather mediocre or irrelevant among the White masses but because of their White privilege and internalized White supremacist thought by some Black people, they become pillars among Black culture.
