Anonymous, I really don't know the answer.
I think this situation is bigger than all of us. The only thing you can do is try to make your own black sons aware of the disparity and what it stems from. Surely, this is a bi-product of racism. The white woman being a status symbol (even more so in black communities) and the black man attaining the status of "normality" by choosing white. Having children less black/negroid is obviously another factor.
Black males pretty much copy the behavior of their fathers and public figures. White women are greatly desired by adult black men, so they speak well of THOSE women to their sons.
I think the situation is actually worse than you think. We simply went from dating "high yellow" women to getting the white ones that those yellow women were the stand ins for in the first place. This is a direct result of racial idiation.
My sons are with black girls. My wife (who is black but could almost pass for white) and I are grateful for that.
Best of luck to you.
