Move up to Vancouver, BC, its different up here. Not that there isn't racism but what a difference compared to the US east coast.

I met a black woman in Philly that I though was quite nice and we had a great night out (My ship was only there two days so not much chance for anything other than a few drinks). She kept getting nervous about the people around us seeing a white guy and black girl. It was just so foreign to me to have that kind of racial tension going on.

Up here you see every combination of race and colour and its just "normal".

well ill put my 2 cents in for one most black women seem to want a black guy, or they value his penis size only, this is not saying that white men men have small penis but black women seem to be stuck on the idea that all white guys r small, but i feel the truth of the matter really is that black women r close minded and prejudiced to the idea of dating white men and i think alot of it is becuz black men and their community as a whole says to them do not date white men i live in dallas tx and i can say from observation there is very little why men blk wmn dating here i will say to those white men who like black women go for women from africa or some foreign country rather than american black women, african women are far superior mentally, emotionally and spiritually than american black women trust me i would definitely marry an african woman never a blk american woman they are like shit beneath my feet
Well Chad...I doubt anyone is losing any sleep over you not wanting to marry a blk american woman...and I bet you're nothing but a pile of shit yourself who must marry a woman from another country because the only way she would want you is because she needs a green card.

The most amazing black woman I've ever known is a doctor. She has the proverbial Black race features - thick lips, short, nappy hair, wide nose- and her skin is black as ebony. She is also beautiful, classy, speaks English with a lovely accent and is one of the bravest women I know.

She's Ethiopian, and lost all her family in the civil war. She walked her way to Morocco, crossed the Mediterranean in a dinghy and forged herself a new life in Spain. Her husband is white and they have 3 children (after the 2 ones she lost in her country). She is also very active in helping African refugees.

Every time she hears about how hard African-American women have it, she simply smiles and moves her head.

i have tried several times and it always comes back to cultural differences. i may find them attractive physically but we never make a real intellectual connection.

You mean to tell me, Leglover, that you could not make an "intellectual connection" with a woman who is on par with our First Lady?

I'm a bit south of Detroit.

Northern Michigan is still very segregated, most of the racists just move north when Detroit / the suburbs became multi-cultural.

As far as being a guy here in Michigan, I don't see many black chicks check out white guys. I see alot of black guys hook up with white girls, however. I find black girls attractive, but rarely try to hit on them because they rarely show any interest. I likely have more in common with black women than white women to be honest.

I guess my answer to you would be that us white guys have the sterotype in our head that black girls are not interested in us at all, therefor we do not try.

This is simple, most of the places I go the majority of women are white, or hispanic, so the odds are I will be dating a woman in the majority. In fact there is only one black woman that I see on a regular basis, and while I would love to date her, she isn't interested in me. So if we don't run into many black women and the ones we do meet aren't interested, the odds are we aren't going to be dating any. Yea there are some guys that are racist, but I think most guys don't have any problems with what race a woman is.

I have always been attracted to dark haired women and it would not bother me a bit if her skin was dark too...attraction is where you find it and if I could find a woman who was beautiful on the inside and outside to me and she found an old grey haired white boy just as attractive to her, I would sure hope a piddly little thing like skin color wouldnt keep us apart.... heck, i bet multicolored wild horses couldnt keep us apart!!!

mthomjmark:

You’re clueless and immature…don’t get upset with me because I called you on your (expletive). Oh, and I love the whole—I have Black friends and I’m Hispanic touch—that’s what most bigoted (expletive) say. And it’s funny when you thought I was cool with you disrespecting Black women you were smiling and now that you know I’m not cool with it you’re making personal attacks on me…that’s very bigoted of you.

To all Black women who may be interested in this character please don't waste your time as he's a jerk! I'm a White woman, but I will not stand for bigotry.

I think it comes down to stereotypes: many white people tend to stereotype black people as having traits that are generally considered more desirable in men than women.

Please don't flatter yourself! There might be a few black women who are interested in dating white men and are posting questions like this, however, the majority are not interested at all. So for the most part it is mutual.


Uhhh, who made you spokes person for the black single female population? I sure as hell did not vote you in.

Many (like myself) love white men and all other men for that matter. I figure it's chocolate. I like white, milk dark and kosher chocolate and any other variations that may come to my attention.

I agree with you as far as stereotypes being a major probelm for interracial relationships. I am a black female who has been attracted to white men since I was able to date. I asked several white men why is it hard for a black woman to date a white male? Their reply was... black women are known to be too aggressive(strong/not needy)!!!WOW!!!

I'd..uh...uhm... wow..

Let's just say I've only experienced chemistry once with a black female; it was one of the best relationships I've ever had.

It may have been because we shared the same taste in everything and she didn't speak in "ebonics"? God forbid that sounding racist.

Well I have to tell you, I am as white as can be and I have dated and had some really long relationships with black women since I was 15 years old and that has been just a little while ago. I think that dark skinned women are so sexy and are absolutley gorgeous. I date any race, but there I do have a definate taste for chocolate.

I live in the south and when my old gf and I started dateing the people in our town gave us some unusual looks but then it kind was over because we both were in the public eye of our town and people excepted it really quickly. I love the strength of a black woman and for most that I have dated they have a very graceful way about them selves also.

Honestly I never got to know any black women. If ever I could sure, even date one, if like in any circumstance, if we have a thing for each other. I don't see it any differently, just as I said, I've never gotten know, hell really meet any.

Then you have to try and get past all the people who still harbor that absurd "racial" garbage, or assume that you would as well. I really don't care.

For your reference, an article in Yahoo! News had this to say on Interracial relationships:

"A recent study on racial preferences of online daters provides some interesting findings. Based on profile-searching criteria set by singles using Yahoo! Personals, the UCI case study reveals that gender plays an important role in interracial preferences: Asian American men are the least preferred mate for Caucasian women, and African American women bear the brunt of discrimination from Caucasian men. UCI researchers say that "the stereotypical images of masculinity and femininity shape dating choices" and are a contributing factor."

This the United States.

Stereotypes and racism are the way of the land.

You will know that prejudice is dead once no one believes in the "One Drop Rule".

I am optimistic- I give it another 90 years (three generations or so.)

Till then, date anyone you think is hot.

Preference does not automatically equate to racism.

I'm in one of the smallest minorities in the freakin world - 3-4% world-wide.

I'm often selected against. Guess I could claim some kind of "-ism." But I doubt it would make me anymore attractive, most likely- less so, going around toting victim baggage.

just a thought
