The article states that many of the interviewed white men respond to black women the way that they do because of limited exposure to black women and callously perpetuated stereotypes that harm the image of black women as a whole.
One of the men interviewed even states that the only way he'd see a black woman as attractive is if she had typically white or asian features, and spoke as a white or asian woman does.
I think you should read the comments section of the article you linked, because some of the people leaving feedback managed to further expand on those points. I'm not sure if you realize that there's more to all of this than you'd like to give credit to, and I'm also not sure of whether or not you're open to that being the case.
No no no no no! *sigh* The white guys interviewed would not have a negative view of BW if the sterotypes did not stick. There is something reinforcing those negative sterotypes, the question you have to ask yourself is what could that be. For example these white guys probably hang out with pretty much only other white people. They probably have sterotypes about...lets say asian women. If these guys saw a neck snapping, tongue clicking, attitude projecting asian women in the media would the sterotype stick? I don't think it would. Why? Because these guys don't see that in real-life or in the media, limited exposure be damned. If the times that these guys did she a BW and she was popping off in public in their minds that would be how the majority of BW act.
Forget day to day life for a sec. Where can white men get a healthy douse of their daily negative BW dirty laundry? TV of course. A few months back I was reading about some reality TV show on Yahoo news...Trump's show or something. Anyway they were talking about the popularity of the show and the reason for it. Basically what they said was the show was so popular was because the BW on the show acted crazy and stuff, calling eachother "bitches" and fighting and what not. If this the image that BW are putting out on television then of course their sterotypes are going to be extremely negative. Mind you this issue is just one of many problems that BW have. I was just explaining why BW have a megative image just in the media. Two other quick examples of BW fucking up their image on TV would be Housewives of Atlanta and Basketball Wives. Those two shows are popular with even BW! Which dives into another issue that BW have which would be BW not understanding how they are perceived by other people. Everything that I have explained goes right into what? "The Angry BW." Which again black females deny. I will never understand where BW get this idea that denial is the end all be all.
EDIT: Real quick let me touch on this beauty topic. If you ask a white guy who he considers an attractive BW he will say Beyonce and Halle Berry everytime. Once again white guys get their ideas of how black people act and black beauty from the media. Problem! A lot of the exposure that BW like to champion in the media is stuff they should not be co-signing. Off the top of my head Sherri Shepard. Why the hell is she repping BW on TV? That is hurting BW's image! I mean she was on that ABC special talking about "Why are BW single." She is fat as hell, she was talking about her c-section scar (WTF!) and she had the nerve to question why she was single, I mean what the fuck!
EDIT2: Ok I have been doing some thinking. Satchwar regarding your exposure viewpoint. A white man wrote that article about WM being the saviors and swooping in a saving BW. He made a complete jackass of himself. The reason he was able to write that article is BECAUSE OF his limited exposure to BW. He does not undestand that the vast majority of BW are jacked the fuck up and THAT is the reason that BM are not marrying them. I'm laughing to myself right now because he went on and on about BM being so fucked up but then later admitted that BM were dating and marrying outside the race in a far greater number than BW. How would that even be possible if BW are so damn awesome. He did not connect the dots, they never do.
derp. You saying I'm lying? XD
