“ but TO WHOM is she being “a little unforgiving” (& why)?”
I assume since the title of her post is
"why do black rastafarian men date white women"
her criticism is directed at "Black Rastafarian men" who have shown a preference for dating white women.
Of course Kelani’s post is titled “WHY DO BLACK RASTAFARIAN MEN DATE WHITE WOMEN“
I replied to Bantu’s post not because I am a black Rastafarian male dating white women, or intending to, but partly because I have a half-white daughter, and of course because I have been in an interracial relationship. There is nothing for you there to prove that I have shown a preference for dating white women.

“Are you a Rastafarian? If you are then you have my sympathy for your inability to see the behavioral inconsistency. Is it possible for an African male, Rasta or not to have a mixed-race child without first having a relationship with a non-African woman?”
MY ANSWER IS THIS: Yes, I am a Rastafarian. I don’t need your sympathy, but you have mine for failing to see that even a “Rastafarian” can have that behavioural inconsistency, and I don’t even mean my “behavioural inconsistency”, but general inconsistency such as having an affair with a white girl. Yes, it happens, even among married Rastafarians, and of course it is inconsistent. The answer to the second part of your question is obvious, so no need to elaborate on that.

“The term "Mr. Mom" is American jargon for men who assume the caregiver's role of the Mother, while the Mother becomes the breadwinner.”
Sorry that I mistyped when replying to you on that, making what I intended to convey unintelligible, but I know about “Mr Mom”

“I am not especially fond of the term "Black" I prefer African. Black after all is just the English rendition of the word "Negro". It's also been my experience that not everyone classified as "Black" has an African sensibility.”
That’s correct.
