I think it's polarizing because they show us what having self-confidence to make the right decision looks like.
He's a good dude with no extra kids who you just KNOW is only fucking with white women while shitting on black women. Except he didn't. He divorced the white chick while still on his short money AND then went and got a black woman once he got super paid. Unheard of move. Not only did he get a black woman, he got a SINGLE BLACK MOTHER with hood-ass baby daddy. And put a ring on her finger. Niggas hate that because it forces the narrative to change that SBM's are girlfriend material only and gives those women courage to stop settling for "Oh, my phone died" fuck shit from dudes who work at Jason's Deli.
Conversely, women hate Ciara for taking herself out of the baby mama loop. She could've just as easily kept pursuing Future, got a reality show to exploit the Twitter drama, and been out here a whole well paid clown. Except she didn't. She upgraded to a cornball--and let's be real the only "corny things" about him is that he speaks proper English and doesn't have a bunch of hood cliches tattooed all over him--who believes in something bigger than himself. Most of all they hate her for having the self-confidence to be with a dude like that.
End of the day that's what it all is: bankroll or not, their relationship represents self-confidence. Most women buckle when they meet a guy who embodies all that stuff they supposedly prayed to God for and send him packing for arbitrary stuff like "being corny," "dressing with no swag," etc. because they know they aren't good enough to be with him. The same issue is with men. They want a woman who looks like this, does this, says this, and has this but will meet her, even have her, and then lose her fucking with a weak bitch.
To see a couple of black people who made the right decision AND enjoying life has to be a secondary bunch of bullshit not just sound decision making. I mean, come on. Who really lives happily marrying that girl from high school who was slightly overweight buuuut let you sleep over every night your parents kicked you out? How can you fuck with a dude who doesn't own Gucci anything and hasn't held a gun for his niggas but goes to church every Wednesday and Sunday and is on the debate team? You cannot be happy with these people! Yet here we are...
