Posted: 9/9/2006 5:14:52 PM | | I've personally never been attracted to black women but that's just me I guess I don't see any problems with it though. I was with a korean girl for a couple years when I was younger and the only problem we had was that her parents friggen hated me :) | |

Posted: 10/4/2006 2:24:11 PM | Most people are waking up to the fact that no race is Superior to another. I have 2 children who are mixed as in Mexican/American, they are beautiful ,smart children. I myself am pretty close to 100% German as far back as I can trace my roots. I don't know the German language, have never been to Germany, and don't want to do either, don't care about it period.
There is beauty in ever race as well as ugliness, and I apologize for any individual here who has posted any hate amongst this subject.
Ignorance will appear, but intelligent knowlegeable people will always prevail. | |

Posted: 10/8/2006 1:00:32 PM | I am glad this thread is still open... because people in this world definitely don't know the answer. Just the other year President Bush chose to give a speech at a college which still had "inter-racial dating is prohibited" on their long list of inter-racial "no-nos." At least one country in Africa still legally trades in slaves, and I repeatedly hear people mention the way 'racism' (excluding a whole race out of your dating circle before even seeing a particular person of that race) is perfectly civilized and is just like not being attracted to a person because of their hair. wrong. it is different. the people don't all know the answe which is why conversation like this is importatnt. I'd guess to say over 50% of the folks on this list who are talking about racial issues haven't talked about racial issues with people of different races(off the net) in over 2 years because it makes so many people feel uncomfortable. threads like these give people the opportunity to learn from different perspectives.

Posted: 10/8/2006 1:04:40 PM | | Once again, a question is posed based on preference. Skin color is as much a quality similar to that of height, eye color, weight. We each prefer specific qualities when seeking a mate. To some the issue will be seen as more than a preference -- however no matter what anyone says, and they can try to prove me wrong if they wish -- a characteristic is nothing more than just that. | |

Posted: 10/8/2006 1:28:55 PM | a characteristic is nothing more than just that.
a characteristic which was the premise for over 300 years of the most unspeakable forms of slavery, torture, mutilation and inhumane treatment is much more than just a characteristic.
generally, anglo-americans would like to think it is just a characteristic, for the exact same reasons they want to abolish affirmative-action (which is one of the primary reasons people of color have come so far in the USA), but it is more than a characteristic.
everytime someone takes a stand that it is simply a characteristic, they have just taken the very first step to going back to rationlizing slavery, racial discrimination and every other type of racial inhumanity which their fore-fathers used to create the USA.
eye color is just a characteristic. but if eye color was the premise for over 300 years of the most unspeakable forms of slavery, torture, mutilation and inhumane treatment it too would be much more than just a characteristic. its also worth noting thats just 300 years within North America, thats not counting overseas.
its more than a characteristic.

Skin color is nothing more than melanin pigmentation, genetic variety -- it is what it is -- whether someone wants to call it more, doesn't make them "right" -- in fact the more right they think they are, the more inherently faulty their logic is.

Posted: 10/8/2006 2:59:44 PM | | There's nothing wrong with it, but I find that I'm generally more attracted to people of my own race, but there are obviously exceptions. And to the people talking about how religion is an issue between different races. Seriously, religion should be the last thing you should worry about in a relationship. Most religions are basically the same if you break them down to their core principles. | |

Posted: 10/8/2006 5:56:45 PM | I was raised in a lily-white farming community with little exposure to other races. Yet for some reason I have always been colour-blind regarding races. Since I was a young child, I have been baffled at racism, at how certain people (say Caucasian) presume their superiority based on the simple fact that they happened to be born white. I still can't get my head around it.
In the past 25 years I have dated men of various races: Black, Korean, Vietnamese. There were times when we received the Evil Eye (usually from men) when out on a date. The hostility was sometimes palpable. I agree that there are stressors that interracial couples will face.
I would not hesitate to date a man of a different race. His skin colour is of no consequence to me. It is what lies within the man's character that is important to me. As a matter of fact, I have recently begun dating a man of another race. I have never known a man who is so much on my intellectual wave-length. I guess kindred spirits can be found outside of one's race. | |

Posted: 10/8/2006 8:39:36 PM | I have had my share of interacial relationships... I enjoy our differences and what it brings to my life. But my experiences have been that I end up being the one discriminated against when I am introduced to the friends/family members. I often get the women tell me to stay away from the only few good men of their ethnic background (and yes, this comment has come from a few different racial backgrounds) and leave him for them. It rarely deters me from pursuing something special with a person of a differing ethnicity... but I have had my life threatened at a club once for being on a date with an African-American man in Detroit. And I am still here to tell the tale... I have been discriminated against for not sharing the same religious beliefs or my social status/family but the families of the man I was dating. Discrimination is much more than just the color of skin...
What matters to me is not the color of a persons skin or the blood that runs through their veins. Its not the religious beliefs that dictate the true character of a man? What matters to me what fuels their passions and soul. How they live their life and treat others. Love or the possibility of love has no ethnic boundaries... at least not in my life. | |

I agree. The same is true for me when it comes to women. | |

Posted: 12/18/2006 5:29:24 PM | Interracial relationships don't bother me at all considering my family and friends are mostly in those type of relationships.
I'm just get tired of the losers who continually whine and bash the opposing gender of their own race to justify why they date IR.
Every group has some that will oppose IR relationships but the some(sum) doesn't equal the whole. Only weak people continue to focus on what others think, feel or do instead of focusing on their relationships.
If I dated a man that all he did was whine about what WW, AW or LW did to him in reality or even his imagination, he'd be kicked to the curb cause I have no use for someone with no strength of character, confidence and plain old fashioned backbone.
I always did love Ray Charles "Hit The Road Jack".  | |

I never said the problem doesn't exist but it is NOT just black women and it's definitely not all black women who supposedly do that which is what you keep whining because you couldn't have possibly met every Black woman on the planet. The difference between you and real Black men is they go on about their business not caring about what people think, do or say!.
I've had others get in my face when they see me out with a White man or Latino Mestiza but I know how to get people back out of my face quick and in a hurry. So I have no need to come whining like a broken record every minute about the "Evil Black Man" and what they've done to me on the internet.
I am not being a "loser who continually whines and bashes the opposing gender" as you unfairly labeled me. I have tried to be open and free of political correctness in these forums so the black women can hear it straight. Call it tough love.
Recognized your shoe did you? I never mentioned your name but a hit dog will holler. Hehehehehehe!
Waa, waa, waa mommy, mommy, daddy, daddy the mean Black woman called me a whiny loser even though she is right!
I busted the other thread wide open with non political correctness truth and it suddenly became redundant then was deleted. You've posted enough that others have now got your number, so I could really care less what you find to justify your hate of Black women and by whom.
Almost forgot, any person of color who is real familiar with race relations also knows that Detroit is one of the most racially segregated cities in the country. I've heard some interesting stories from Black women AND Black men who are native Michigans about Detriot. The racism in that city covers housing, jobs and a host of other things so her example would hold more weight if it had of happened in a so called progressive liberal city.
Now go away little boy, go play on a busy highway or something. | |

Posted: 12/21/2006 11:11:46 AM | See that is your problem when you have no legitimate retort you come back with your angry tirade herring.
I don't date White men exclusively. I will date White, Latino, and Asians. While there are some damn good looking Black men out there they just don't draw my attraction any longer for some reason. Unlike you I don't exlcusively date White and I don't hate Black men, so my preferences don't have jack to do with bad experiences.
For the record I probably have more White genes than some of your women do and I am part Latina Mestiza so guess what I'm not being hyprocritical cause I am dating my own regardless of my skin tone.
Your reading comprehension skills are lacking aren't they? I have told you how many times I will do as I please? LOL! You get a life!
Nahuh don't start that fellow black sisters nonsense with me. I have two sisters and one I can definitely do without and she can do without me.
Hmmm I wonder how safe it is for a Black woman to eat in your restaurant when you're on duty.
Toodles, I've got things to do. Run along with your ball, enjoy your time on the busy highway.
Oh one last thing if you haven't figured it out yet, I'm toying with you like a cat does with a mouse. I'm actually getting kind of bored with you now. | |
