A section of Kenyans on social media have been left shocked after a Kenyan lady identified as Lydia made controversial remarks during an interview. Her statements have since gone viral, sparking heated debate online.
Speaking during the interview, Lydia openly explained why she says she cannot date black men. According to her, many black men in the country are struggling financially.
She claimed that most of them do not have enough money to give her the kind of life she wants. She further alleged that some cannot even sustain themselves properly, making it difficult for her to consider building a relationship with them.
In a part of the interview that angered many viewers, Lydia made remarks that were widely seen as disrespectful. She stated that when she is walking on the road and a black man approaches her, she feels uncomfortable.
Her words about how they look sparked outrage online, with many saying she went too far.
Lydia went on to say that she prefers white men because, in her view, they have money and can offer her financial stability. She claimed that being in relationships with white men would help her achieve her dream lifestyle and become rich more easily.
After the clip spread online, Kenyans reacted strongly. Many criticized her comments as offensive and unnecessary, saying she was stereotyping black men.
Others argued that everyone has a right to personal preference, but should express it respectfully. The debate continues online as more people share their opinions on her controversial remarks.
