Atlanta producer Polow da Don was recently interviewed by AllHipHop.com. He calls himself the "King of White Girls." Here's a recap of that part of the convo:

AllHipHop.com: Now, you call yourself the "King of All White Girls." Elaborate on that for me.

Polow Da Don: Just the “King of the White Girls.” I ain't self proclaimed but I run with it. [Laughs] There was a stage in my life where I went crazy with dating white women. I have nothing against black women, but they’re raised differently. White women are raised to respect and serve their men. Black women are taught to question [their men]. Black women look at submission as being weak. White women look at submission as being a woman. And anyone who has a problem with this statement is ignorant. Just look at the divine order; it goes man, woman, child.

I commend him for at least having thought about the issue (by the way, he went to Morehouse). And, in my opinion, he makes a decent point. Black women and white women are typically raised differently. He should, however, be careful with making sweeping generalizations because I know many submissive Black women and just as many questioning white women. In all, his answer could have been much worse.
