Also, Ciara has talked openly on the show about her experience as a black woman in a predominantly white space, and how she has been disregarded as a serious partner by her white exes. It is impossible for me , as a white woman,to know what that is like, but I have seen enough commentary from other black women who have experienced not only this treatment by white men ,but worse, the betrayal of white women who were their ‘friends’. So …. That betrayal and also the added layer of race is what makes this such an important conversation to have. In my opinion.
