In the south good luck! Most here are closed minded about interracial dating! I am a black female who prefers to date white men and trust me the pickings are very very slim for me.

I see more black men with white women in the south than white men with black women that for sure. You may want to try the social scene around New Orleans if you want to meet black men I mean nice lounges or resturants that have happy hour. Jazz Fest is comming soon also Im sure you can meet some nice black men there. Good luck !

Up North interracial dating is accepted more than it is down here.

I'm a white guy, a northern transplant down here. Have been in Louisiana since about 10 months before the storm. I have always dated bright, articulate women without regard to race, color, creed, etc. but I do often times find myself more physically attracted to women of other ethnicities and in the community I grew up in, it was widely - though not universally - accepted. The only 2 things I look at are - is she good to me and is she good for me.

I have found it hard to connect with articulate women of color down here. It may be that they are skeptical of a white guy's motives because of the issues some have put out on this board. It may be that they have a prejudice about dating outside their race, because that can cut two ways. Or it may be because I look like the Elephant Man. I'm not really sure. But since there seem to be women of color interested in dating white guys and white guys interested in sincerely dating minority women here in Louisiana, how can we go about breaking down these generalities and seeing each other as individuals and seeing how things go?

Would a meet and greet at a club or a group Zephyers game make sense to anyone?

Nosey,
Hey don't feel bad about the nose down here, just try your best not to match it with your belly!
Here is a site for locals to meet up and plan things. http://singles.meetup.com/970/

They call themselves "The Metro New Orleans Singles Meetup Group". I am not a member and never been, but It is a place for you to start.

Hope this helps

It's not really accepted here in the North, some are closed minded here as well. I personally perfer to date other races and not that I have issues with my own race or the females just my preference.

Please don't take this as political, but, it's a sad day when race has to do with votes in this upcoming election. A poll taken showed that voters are still living in the dark ages by openly admitting that they voted because of race and not on qualifications. When will we get it right???

i would never have thought...... i've dated women of several races, i think any woman deserves to be taken to nice places, but... i have to admit, i just always presumed a super attractive black woman would never be interested in a white man

caskey,

For years, both men and women have been attracted to others outside their race. Not only black and white. Also, there have been laws both here in the U.S. and other countries that prevented any type of relationship out of the local ethnic group. Catholics with Catholics. Jewish with Jewish, etc. Now, the nation is slowly accepting that people have that right to happiness. I can still remember back in the 70's traveling the South with a black friend. Got lots of flack going through Ga and Ala. Not as much in Biloxi. Came home with him and my family later said that they were shocked, but, accepted him because he was a friend of mine from the military. Lost contact with him because he got out and headed to Az and I stayed in the military. Still remember the trip and the experiences we had. I am kinda sad that I'm not near a military base where people are more open minded.

The problem why most white females are not dating black men is because they do not offer their women a sense of security. Many black males do not acquire an education due to the fact their peers look upon education as being weak. I am very much educated with several science degrees and am often times rejected by most black women. This has channeled me toward white women which i have come to understand they are more focused on a man that has educated himself. That is the key to security. No woman or man wants to be impoverished. I am seeking a white lady that is good. You must seeking a man in the educated domains of life. You can tell by the words that comes out ones mouth.

Well just let me say this. In other states that are outside of California they still think that slavery hasn't been abolished1 LOL...it almost seems that way. If I were you, I would do what you normally do and go for what you want, regardless of what others think or what the status quo is. It's only controversy to peolpe who don't want the change or know anything about dating outside of their race. They make it out to be some kind of taboo, when in reality all it is, is two people of different races falling in love with each other. People who called controversy are really saying that they would rather hold onto their racist beliefs and keep the races seperate. Do what you like because in the end it is you who has to be happy with your personal choices. Good luck...

Why would anyone want to get with a black man anyway? aha... White men are far more superior than blacks. They're nothing but stupid, ugly, convicts, who pollute our mainstream media with B/S! ie: all the rap/hip-hop shit that talk nothing but sex, drugs, money, PIMPING HOES(very-degrading). Black men are far more likely to end up in jail than whites, have lower intelligence, mostly uneducated and look like apes! White men are clean (not all, compared to blacks!), educated (again, compared to blacks) and much more attractive and respectful ( we ain't pimpin' hoes homie!,learn how to speak english!) For all you sluts who think black men are something, you certainly watch too much tv, and are influenced by media! how can monkey's who wear XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXL t-shirtsbe attractive!... AHAHAH...

I sure hope that was a sarcastic post. If not, you've got the dumbest post in history.

You should be shouting this out in the streets of your community to warn everybody.

having worked construction for 15 yrs. and living in lots of places in this great country of ours I have had the pleasure of dating women of several races and back grounds. truth be told most people have no problem with white/asian/latin mixing, the bigots come out with a white/black mix no matter where you live. I have dated several beautiful black women in my life, it was them who broke it off, mostly because they couldn't used to people staring. my thoughts are f#*k em I pay my way through life so I live it the way I want...to jojonla, checked your site, beautiful woman who deserves respect..good luck to all

Great thread. I have no problems dating outside of my race. Honestly, from what I see New Orleans is a pretty open minded city when it comes to interracial dating. At least for the most part. When Ive been on dates with black girls I havent really seen the stares that I would have expected. It might be in part because I dont look white, Im Native American with some white as well. Many think Im Spanish. Anyways, I try to look at the person more than anything. So Ive dated many different types of races, colors, creeds, etc.

I am from D'Iberville MS and Think that the most important thing is LOVE.
If you love someone race is or should never be an issue. I have dated a few races. I am just as attracted to one as the other.. Black women are very beautiful and to show I am not a hypocrite.. I recently dated a young lady here in the area and my family fell in love with her..
We broke up a while back for personal reasons but we are still friends and she is dating other people. My family told me I was boneheaded for letting her go .. I could not stop it she was headed in a different direction than I am. so we separated..
I am more willing to find a beautiful lady and treat her right.. like women should be treated.. like a Queen..:)
You can easily get a hold of me if you choose at coast12 on yah oo..
I would love to hear from a lady who just happens to be black any day of the week and proudly show her to the world as she would me..
Remember beauty is only skin deep.. but its a starter.. then we have to go from there..

Those of us who date to look for a spouse to raise a family with don't really consider interracial dating an option. It's difficult growing up as it is, but to deprive your kids of their identity and heritage is just so goddamned selfish. I don't think I'm racist for wanting my kid to look like me.

What if they look like their mother? You have no choice once they are born. And, to answer you, yes, you could be considered a racist.

I was born and raised here and you are exactly right about this area in which we live...people here are not in any hurry to except the fact that we all like what we like...most people here date outside their race descretely and don't wanna risk being found out about others close to them so they do it secretly but it's much interracial dating going on behind the scenes...I do not limit myself when it comes to relationships...I consider myself a people person and I am attracted to all races and nationalities...this is 2009...should we really be having this type of discussion.

inb4 bashing the south... In my teens- I had relationships with black girls- I never looked for one color or race- just people who clicked with me. I think that looking for a black man is hard- I dont wanna seem ignorant ( I'm sure I am..) but black men tend to die earlier and be locked up more (I am not celebrating this fact) So if you are actively seeking a black male- they are a lot less of them maybe..? That's my guess. I live in South Carolina and black people are about 40% of the population in my area- but black men are a premium- racists cops. racists doctors, whatever- its jut a fact.
