IS INTERRACIAL DATING STILL TABOO?
Sam Jackson is in a theatre near you in Lakeveiw Terrace and he plays a cop who doesn’t like interracial relationships, and it makes you wonder if interracial relationship are still taboo. There have been plenty of films made about the subject, from Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner to Jungle Fever and Something Different, and they all have different takes that screen as hopeful and optimistic. But in reality, some Black people still have a problem with interracial dating. This could largely be regional: it’s common-place and casual to see interracial couples on the coast, but in the North and South, it can still provoke stares and snide comments. People also still believe that Black men choose White women as a sign of upward mobility. Sports figure are said to marry White women exclusively, but we can prove that isn’t true. Doesn’t matter. There is also some idea that Black men tend to date outside of their race more than any other. I don’t know that this has any truth to it at all, but Black men with White women tend to be more conspicuous and scrutinized differently than Black women with White men.
The biracial children that these couples often produce also have a hard way to go: they sometime struggle to find an identity in a country where so much is predicated by race. Having Sen. Barack Obama, a biracial man, run for president could change attitudes about it but it may be too soon to know. What do you think?

“…some Black people still have a problem with interracial dating.”
Two reasons why black people still have a problem with interracial dating is because no man from any other race of people was ever emotionally, physically or financial lynched for being attractive to or attracted to white and fair skinned women. In the south it would cost you your life and in the north it would cost you your housing options.
I personally have a problem with interracial relationships for three reasons:
1. When in America your freedom of speech means you can not speak out against homosexuality or promote polygyny.
2. White feminist power brokers go home to their husbands and black feminist go home alone.
3. Zero objections from the black elders and leaders per America sabotaging black male and female relationships into sunken ships!
I have no problem with people making decisions to live their lives, but I do have a problem with a socially closed minded and hypocritical society that sabotages my ability to pursue happiness, concentrate black wealth and produce quality children of color.
It is not as taboo as it has been. When I was younger, anyone dating outside of their race was frowned upon very heavily. Now that I have children, that race line has all but disappeared. Some of these girls go out of their way to find and date black guys. Why? Some of their reasons are not that honorable. I feel that if the two people really love each other, respect one another and has each other’s interest in mind, then the relationship will definitely work. If they are doing this just to rebel against the establishment, then it is bound to fail.
Yes, I personally do have a problem with the whole interacial dating subject. My thought is that if you spend time the attraction is bound to grow and thus you will have a relationship weather it be on a passive interaction or you find yourself having been stalked for adverse reasons. My own personal concern is of race as a whole and the key word is (RACE), no matter how it has been disguised this is still very much a race which requires us to look at this with a WORLD view. Now, as a nationality (I will so kindly say) we could lift our Race if those more economically abundant mainly male but also female would give an extra effort in finding beauty within each others gender and skin color, a helpful tool could be counceling on how to deal with one another and how (Jim Crow)/society has influnced our minds through imagery. My reasoning of why this is so very important is partly due to economics which is the basis and bottom line of everything; everyone wants a good quality of life and we can give it to each other if we start learning to love each other. My way would challenge and propose that black marry black which give a broad spectrium from (fair-skin to deep-skin) just as long as it’s black and have families. If you are very well economically empowered rear and teach those children to repeat the cycle. Let me break this down a little bit; I feel that if you are a rich and/or wealthy black male or female you have a responsibility to not only ‘the race’ but ‘man-kind race’ to marry within and uplift us all. With that said I am sure I have gone quite long and will leave with something important to remember: Always GUARD what goes into your heart and by doing that you must guard the things that go through the window to your soul.
Ignore number #3
Keep number #4
I don’t like interracial dating or mating. I find that most of the whites
dating Blacks (especially white girl/Black male) do so for taboo sexual
revenge or curiosity (the big Black d–k
thing) and I hate that. White people are
extremely shallow and earth’s nastiest people as far as I’m concern. I think
white men envy Black men. They try but,
they can not manage the COOL of a Black man. We are very different and I prefer
my own Black people. I don’t really like
white people that much because they are
haters of my people, they are phony, they are hypocrites and I just get tire of looking at them…so you can call me
a bigot or whatever. I’m pro-Black.
I’m honest about my feelings. Other races are indifferent to me as I am to them. I will never date out of my Black race. I love my Black Brothas. White women seem to hate white men, they keep
taking our Black men so, there’s obviously nothing that special about white men that they seek out Black men
for sport mostly and not for love.
Black men like white women mostly because they (white women) are easy, sleazy and weak.
They are a push-over on every level.
2. White feminist power brokers go home to their husbands and black feminist go home alone.
Classic!
not as much as it once was because people are not as ignorant as they were before. But unfortunately, a small sect of society is still ashamed of interracial dating.
Having Barack Obama elected as president would be great but I don’t think it will change attitudes about interracial relationships. At the back of everyone’s mind, they know that he is biracial but everyone talks about him as if he is only black. I believe that for the most part, people are labeled by how they look, not necessarily by who they really are. I am a biracial person myself and I am always being mistaken as being Hispanic or Filipino but I am black and Japanese.
Given the horrific racial injustices in
this country alone, the lynchings of black boys and black men over the white woman, like the brutal murder of Emmett Till for whistling at a white woman. I would think that black men would never want to go near a white woman. And as I black woman I really have no desire to date a white man. I struggle with the
painful history of the brutal rapes and
savagery they caused black women and it really creeps me out. I’m
not into the interracial dating thing but, I have hung out with white people enough to know that I’m not really comfortable with
getting that close to any of them. If people
want to date outside their race and culture…good luck but personally it’s not for me.
I believe that the whole RACE card is still played and is still an issue only because people choose to stay in the past and remain ignorant!
First off let me say as I was growing up I was attracted to “white” boys but I was also attracted to all of the other races as well. I was taught to look deeper than the color of the skin! I mean why does the pigment have to determine who we really are? TRUE, my mother had a slight problem with it at first but then I had to remind her that she raised me to be ultimately happy based on all of the other things…not skin pigmentation! Sometimes what will make an individual happy is not what will satisfy society as a whole or parts thereof. In the past there was a large interracial community people just didn’t really acknowledge it! People were ashamed of their family and their heritage. Why not be proud?
I am a WHITE Jewish woman who has a BIRACIAL child…and IF you all wanted to say that correctly you would say the child/person is MALADO (meaning 1/2 white and 1/2 black). My daughter does not see color just like I don’t. I was raised around a variety of people and face it the world we live in is a melting pot. None of us are 100% anything anymore. Your family has mixed and mingled with other races/ethnicities somewhere along the line even if YOU don’t. Whether or not they are ashamed of it or proud about it, the fact is there is an entanglement of nations somewhere in there.
You can say and think what you want… but EACH and EVERY race/nationality has had some kind of discrimination! I personally don’t dwell on the fact that “white” people had “black” slaves, or that Hitler decided “Jews” weren’t good enough! I mean come on lets face it. We are all individuals and this is the 21st Century… LET’S NOT LIVE IN THE PAST!!!! I was not and am not a slave owner and I was not in a concentration camp. The fact remains that yes it did happen…BUT why don’t we LEARN from it instead of DWELL on it?!?!?!
It’s time for CHANGE!
I am a black woman who is aganist interacial dating, i will never date outside my race, do not get me wrong i see some nice looking non black men but they are not for me i am strickly for a brotha, ilove them. I do not like the white woman who try to get our men for the wrong reasons, thatmakes me angry, and for the stupid brothas who fall for the crap.That’s a brother who i would not date after that.Its enough good black woman who are looking for a good black man. What is the problem.
I, a black woman, have no problem with interracial dating. I’ve been dating outside of my race eversince my mother allowed me to have boyfriends. I’ve dated black, white and hispanic. I don’t find any differences among any of the races, some of my dating expereinces were negative and some were positive. I don’t choose my dates specifically based on the guy’s race it all depends on what I’m atracted to.
However there is one issue regarding interracial dating that concerns me and that is too many black women feel they are loyal or obligated to dating only black men. They don’t own us, we can date whom ever we want. It’s almost comical when I hear sistas complaining that there aren’t enough good men around. I don’t see things that way, to me there’s a whole lot of good men out there and they come in all colors, but if you’re soley looking at black men as your only dating option then you’re cutting off like 70% of the male population. I don’t know about anybody else but I like to have options, the more the better.
I like the dating options of dating my
own black men. There are a variety of
differences in our own black race.
It’s not a so-called obligation to wanting and choosing to date/mate my own race. I’m attracted to black men.
I’m not attracted to non-black men.
And I belong with black people. It’s
not about just dwelling on the past either.
It’s not a crime to want to stick with my own black race, just like it’s not
a crime to stick with my own black family members. I don’t care who you date or what you date but, I choose to
stay within my own race. I choose an option to not date non-black. I love my
black brothas. I’m not afraid of being alone either, but I would choose to remain alone rather than to start dating out of my race. I’m not a fan of interracial dating but, those of you that do it, so be it.
I do have a problem with it but to each it’s own. The main problem is that white women have a problem electing a black man but they have not trouble getting in the bed with them be it curiosity or whatever. The black man will never be good enough for the white race and that is a shame we could be a powerful world if it was not filled with so much hatred. The devil has truly taken over and it is currently showing now more than ever.
I think that this is all really dumb! White women don’t go looking for a Black man just to make Black women mad! Black women hate alot on White girls because they are with a Black man, but he could have talked to you as easily as he did us but it was his choice to talk to a White Girl. I am with a Black man & we have 3 kids together and are happily married. We still get the stares & rolling of the eyes from elderly white people & black women. We don’t care!!! Our love is strong & nobody can change that! I wasn’t easy or slezy as someone said earlier & I got a good BLACk man who works & supports our family!! Maybe SARENIA, if you pulled your head out of the 1920’s and took the time to get to know White people, you may think differently & you cant hate us for no black man wanting you! Look at your attitude, who would want you??? Oh, what if when you have kids & they want to date out of their race? Then what???
I don’t have a problem with interracial dating if it’s for the right reason: two people meet, are attracted to each other, and start a relationship. I do oppose it when a black man will not date a black woman because they have attitudes or a woman of another race dates a black man because of the stories she’s heard (and honestly, alot of black men do not live up to the myth). I also don’t agree with black woman dating a man of another race just because she feels all black men are losers. It works both ways. If the relationship is based on the people involved and race was not considered, I have no problem supporting the relationship.
I personally do not have a problem with interracial dating, BUT what I do have a problem with is W women dating Black men for non-genuine reasons. I am a Black woman and I actually have a number of white friends who prefer to date black men. I don’t understand why they don’t prey on their own, BUT, I love me a Black man, and if they share my sentiment, I completely understand.
See, Black men have this instant swag, or shall I quote Sarenai, this “COOL” about themselves! It’s one of the things about a black man that just makes me melt! Black people in general have this allure about them. It’s cool to be black, which has obviously been made evident by the way society has stolen our sayings, our gestures, our songs, our slang, etc, packaged it, and sold it. Black influence is EVERYWHERE!! Prime example: I bet if I refer to this rock on my finger as BLING, every last person on here knows exactly what I am talking about, but most of you may be left scratching your head if I call it a VVS princess cut stone in base setting with stacked baguettes. One simple little made up word used by a then juvenile rapper named Dewayne Carter (aka Lil’ Wayne) has turned into something real that we all use in our vernaculars. Look at how easily we are objectified and sexified (not even sure if that’s a real word), then repackaged for distribution to mainstream America (i.e. W people)!!!
As far as my personal affinity for non-black men, there isn’t much. I, put simply, am not very attracted to them. When I lived in other parts of the country (south florida and the midwest), I was hit on numerous times by non-black men. Some of them I obliged because I like free dates (so, sue me), and others I just wanted to see what it was like. My perception of white men is just blah. Most of them have no swagger, no personality, and nothing that makes them stick out. Muscles and EXTREMELY good looks would probably be the only thing that would make me want to hang with them.
One other thing, I hate when people say, “I’m a human, like me for who I am. I’m not black, I’m not W, I’m human!” STFU!! You were born in America, a place that was created by W’s and built on racism and oppression of others (and no I am not talking about just blacks)!! While it’s a shame, we are not color-blind, we don’t not think globally, and we use labels and terms for EVERYTHING. Many people in my family look hispanic and some W, but I look black (dominican perhaps for those of you who need a visual), and growing up I didn’t really have much of a concept of race and color. But as I got older (i.e. out of 1st grade) I discovered the harsh reality of what it is like to be black, and the differnces that ensue. I didn’t change,I just became aware, and in this country, you HAVE to be!
Everybody on here, whether I agree with you or not, is entitled to their opinion and are given the freedom to do whatever the hell they want to! So, if you’re W and have been swooned by the allure of the mandingo warrior, or if you are black are still scarred by the horror of what happened to our people (i.e. Emmitt Till), just say to hell with what people think! Just do you!

@Erica: You sound sooooo bitter! Geez! Someone must not have gotten then Mandingo Warrior fix this morn! LOL!! Sad thing is he probably is lame and has no traces of Mandingo! LOL!!
we all bleed through similiar veins, we need to get past the fear of our own ignorance, namely, fearing something that we have no knowledge of. There was never really an issue until Hitler made the word “Race” a hate ordeal, we’re just ordinary people, lets concentrate on more important issues, what about feeding the less fortunate. paz!!
i so agree with sarenai#6 thats my homie and i dont even know you but i so agree that alot of whites are so phony they smile in your face and stab you so quick with a smile on their faces, they created racism and they taught us, all over skin, thats like saying i dont like him/her because they have natural curly hair, go beat it. so lets stick to our own race and create more beautiful black people, and erica please look in the mirror and check yourself girl you dont have a clue so you also must beat it.
Firstly i would like to say this is freedom of speech and my opinion ..if you (dis)agree thank you anyway.
Im MIXED RACE as you Americans SAY Bi-racial (im from england), and im attracted to men of colour and not white men because (i have reasons).. i dont hate them i jus wouldnt marry one or have children with a white man .
Now to clarify that if a black person and a white person has a child the child STILL COMES OUT OF COLOUR IN MOST CASES (like myself) and even if the child is of mixed hertiage it is called BLACK other …(FORMS AND APLICATIONS)because the persons skin is lighter black obviously mixed with antha race
I think lighter brown & other blacks should start treating eachother with respect treating their dark skin brothas and sisters like People and stop degrading THEM AND THEMSELVES genrally people of colour on BET MTV GENRAL MEDIA and socially, why do black women take on skin bleaching weave and nose jobs to look more like a caucasian female TO BE SUMBODY? … STRONG BLACK WOMEN WITH AFROS LIKE SOUL SISTAH WHAT HAPPENED?
If you wanted the black man to stop leaving you for a white women they stop tryna act like a WHITE WOMEN be PROUD OF YOUR AFRICAN ROOTS AND SELF..YOUR CONFUSING THEM
women and men with dark skin get judged and put down so the have kids with white people to get ”pretty” brown kids …i think this is the perception put across by rappers musik videos and media..they exSpect their brothers to repect them and treat them like AFRICAN QUEENS when they are not proud of what they are and for some reason will degrade themselves to please others (showing their bodies wereing no clothes on tv so on)
This is the tricks of the RACE: OF WHITE WOMEN (PEOPLE) IN WESTERN SOCIETIES
1.
THEY will happliy get SKIN CANCER pay hundreds of (£/$) to be the same brown colour as you in tanning boothes and roasting under the SUN (but YOU are encouraged to bleach and make you self MORE CAUCASIAN).
2.
THEY spend Billion (£/$)on hair care products and beauty products to make their HAIR and LIPS look ‘FULLER’ or have ‘MORE VOLUME’ (but encourage YOU to perm/relax a nice way of saying KILL YOUR HAIR)
WHILE THEY IMIATE YOU , YOU IMITATE THEM AND THE BLACK MAN WILL BE AND IS CONFUSED… BLACK PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR PRIDE AND INTELLEGENCE..THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE..BLACK WOMEN LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE BECOME AND TELL ME WHY WOULD A MAN WANT A WOMEN WHO HAS NO PRIDE WHEN HE GET GET A WHITE WOMEN WHO WILL DO WHAT HE WANTS WHEN HE WANTS IT … GROVEL OVER HIS BLACK D***K AND HAS WHITE PRIDE???
BY THE WAY IM 17 AND TOOK THE TIME TO WRITE THIS LOL BI-RACIAL DATING IS A CHOICE MADE BY PEOPLE, MOST BI-RACIAL CHILDREN HAVE A HALF SIBLING(S) WHO ARE FULL BLACK OR JUST WHITE AND MAJORITY HAVE BLACK FATHERS WHO WILL LEAVE THEM N GO BACK TO BLACK WOMEN ….PEACE BE WITH YOU ALL FEEL FREE TO COMMENT BAK ON THIS 1..
To Erica
You’re so special…
Slave owner bred with their slaves
You are no different than they were.
That’s your problem…you white supremacist…your attitude is up you lily white behind. If you are so proud
of having your black slave buck then why
do you waste time blogging your judgement. You said you don’t care what other think about it…Liar!
And thank you, but I am deeply loved and that’s
something you fake. You don’t sound very
happy to me but, you whites have privilege up the a-s and are NEVER SATISFIED with anything and I know why
because you usually steal everything from other races of people. You are typical white trash
full of judgement against black people
whether you intermixed with us or not.
You’re fake, shallow, and a hypocrite.
You are so typical…white hater and
vengeful.
Your Dream Girl,
You are rich, my sista
Thanks for puttin’ it down for
white thang
She’s bitter for sho.
What you said is great
Here’s to your Black Cool, sista
’cause you know how we do!?
I feel there is nothing wrong with interracial dating. I think this whole “Race” thing is stupid… There is NO SUCH THING! as race… If you look at people from other parts of the world– race for them is not an issue, class and social status is. I guess a lot of you don’t realize race was made up so we could all create barriers for one another. There is no difference between white, black, latino et cetera. Different kids of people are raised different ways, the color of your skin doesn’t change that. I think it’s just so stupid that people feel “black should marry black” “white should stick with their own kind”. I was in group of people where are of use were so similar. All of us wanted a good education, all of us wanted to go to college, all of us had so many goals yet the colors of our skin and our backgrounds were so different. If you were blind, how would you view the world?
“We are all very different, yet the same.”
With that being said, I am very much in love with my boyfriend–who happens to be asian. Who cares? Why should people judge me because I am not dating a black guy. I am not dating him because I hate black guys, or because I don’t want to date within my race. That’s complete BS. I don’t even feel we are an “interracial” couple. I just see him as my best friend since we were kids in high school. It’s not until people want to bring up our race where I just want to laugh.
The funny thing is I didn’t think I was going have to comment until I saw a bunch of posts about people not liking interracial relationships. I thought I was going to see “love has no color” type posts. Nope, I look at these comments and I feel like I’m back in the 60’s. “Black should date black” “White women just date black men for sexual reasons”.
Why are your arguments valid?
I am not dating a white guy, rather an asian guy, but I am not dating him because he is “Asian”, if he had been black, latino, indian, et cetera I would STILL be with him. He is the sweetest guy I have ever been with and he is one of the only guys I have ever been able to be 100% honest with. That’s why I’m dating him.
To end this… I am definitely not against interracial relationships. And I am surprised that so many people still have an old-fashioned way of thinking. It’s the 21st century. It is time to stop thinking about the COLOR of someone’s skin and look at their personality. If someone is dating someone just because of their color, that’s on them, but you guys have no right to make generalizations about ALL interracial couples.
*all of us (not are of use)
It is what it is…..We all have our own preferences. Date who you feel most comfortable with regardless of race. I am comfortable in my own skin so I do not care what others think of my dating preference. I am a grown woman and pay my own bills, so if others do not like my choices, they have to deal with it. I answer to no one but G-O-D. Life is too short to ponder others doubts and insecurities. Again, It is what it is. Respect is the key ! God is love and if you love yourself, nothing else matters. FAITH ….Have FAITH in HIM. Be safe and Bless. vegasstyle702@yahoo.com
I just want to say that I can understand why blacks don’t accept the white race. Why they choose to be with the whites. In our society people have lost there true value of what it is to be a human being. We have whites that think they are black and blacks that think they are white. Blacks against blacks. So one thing I can say, is that God didn’t make a world of just one color. It made it with alot of beautiful colors. He made us to be the children of God and honor him. Yes the evil came in and destroyed everything. We should be one and quick fighting amongs are self. We are not all of the same race. We have been mixed with so many that we can’t say we are genuine. If you find someone one who is different and you bond with then so be it. You have to live your life for yourself not for everyone else. It doesn’t matter what they say. When you come home and close your door you see your family only. I am a minority too and I am discriminated by other races too because my husband is black. You fail to realize, that I have the same mixture in my culture. We as minorities need to stick together. I have no right to judge anyone because when I leave this earth my God is the only who can judge me and he is the only one I have to answer to.
1st of all I would like to say that a lot of Black Men love white women, and I know this from experience. And for the ppl who want to bring up the old days, with slavery…I think your full of ****! Your own ppl (Black ppl) sold you to the white people…so why take that out on us??? Anyway I see nothing wrong with interracial dating, nor does my husband. Black girls are jealous of us and i dont blame them! The black men I talk to say that Black girls have attitudes and dont know how to act…and its true, so if you dont want men turning to the white race, then learn how to act and treat them!
Latina..Thank you!
People it is the 21st century. Let’s start thinking with a 21st century mindset.
Love has no boundaries. “RACE” is nothing more than someone having more or less skin pigments than the other.
To Your Dream Girl
Just to set you straight, I’m not bitter until it comes to people HATING on Black/White couples!! I mean its not your life so why hate it?? There are black guys out there who want Black women but yall dont take the time to find them because you are stuck on hating us White women who already have a Black Man!! Oh, Yes I get mine everyday!! He is far from Lame & God has blessed him!! (If you know what I mean)
To Sarenai
First, I came here to speak my views as well as you! Im not mad or anything but I am tired of people living in the past!! Just like you are saying Im slave owner.. Blah,Blah,Blah!! That jsut shows what level you are on! You say Im lying about not caring what people say? I don’t care! If I did do you think I would have married him & had 3 beautiful babies?? NO!! You say Im white trash & I steal from races?? What have I stole?? A good Black man that probably wouldn’t give you a second look?? I’m sorry I have class & things going my way!! But, I have no problems with any races or anyone who has spoke againist me in here. So take it how you want to!!!
To Beautiful White female married to Black Man
Thank God you are in this Blog!! I felt like I was on my own! You couldn’t have said it better!! All Black Guys say that Black women have jacked up attitudes & that is unattractive!! So, Glad you see where I am coming from!!! I’m sure you are beautiful & not White Trash as a few of these people refer to us as!!!
As A Black man, I have dated some white women but, I refuse to date out of my race anymore. I find white women
stanky and sleazy. They lie about everything. And as far as sistas being jealous of white stanks, that’s a laugh! Sistas have it goin’ on Big Time and that’s what I missed out on screwing around with white girls.
White girl as you can read from a few here that blogged are bitter and the ones with attitude. They still have their heads up their asses. They still think they are supreme and better than blacks and especially the black women.
Check out # 29.
White girls like her, hate their own white men because they feel white men are superior to them, but white women feel superior to black men and especially black women. They relly hate the sistas. White girls especially are so full of shyt and that’s why I love my Beautiful BLACK QUEENS. I will never again date out of my race. We do have a lot of variety from within our own. Most brothas I know that date white women do it because they are easy and there’s no real challenge with them. They do anything sexually…Anything.
They give up the ass faster than anyone else as well as their money.
Okay for the 2 “white” women saying ALL black women have an attitude problem, you really need to meet more black women. We are all not the same. Just like how all white women do not date black men for sex not ALL black women have attitudes. Please do not generalize. If you are going to say black women have attitudes, say “Black women I have encountered” or “Most of the black women I have met” generalizing is very rude and it greatly offends me as I am a very polite person yet I am a “black woman”.
The images portrayed of black women nowadays are very negative, and it would be kind if you kept those images to yourself if you have been entrapped into that way of thinking by the media
Thank you.
Black women have attitudes. Wrong! They are passionate and proud. Black women are strong. They are the TRUTH. They speak their mind and have no problem telling you exactly how they feel, and I so that’s exactly what I am about to do.
Black men are out searching for a white women to make them feel better about themselves. Wrong! They just need a woman to be supportive (To have their back). Don’t discourage them for who they choose to spend there life with. You Love who you Love, and that’s it.
People just because you look down upon interracial dating, doesn’t mean it will stop. To be honest most of you that feel that way have a grandma, aunt, uncle or some family member who is white. Does that mean you disagree with their choices also? I wish I would step to my grandmother with that ****, Oh they are old school. whoppin ass is not a problem.
White people are not our enemy!!! Let me say that again WHITE PEOPLE ARE NOT OUR ENEMY. Just because you have had a bad situation with a white person should not change how you feel about a whole culture. That is ignorant.
Take a min, take a whole 60 sec and think about where we have come from. Not only as a people, but as a nation. GOD IS TRYINA TELL YOU SOMETHING. Open your eyes, open your ears.
OUR NEXT PRESIDENT COULD BE A BI-RACIAL MAN. Are you not going to vote for him because his mother is white and father is black? Be real. If you have a problem it’s exactly that…(YOUR F*&$ING PROBLEM)
Oh, and yes i am a black women passionately, and deeply in love with a bi-racial man, not for his completion but because he loves me with the love of God. I pray you find the same.
Yeah this is for response #34… I am a black man, and I love white women just as much as i love a black woman. it sounds to me like a white woman wouldnt give u no ***** or did u wrong so u decided to put them on blast… That **** is funny to me! 1st of all how many black women as opposed to white women are pregnant??? Way more black woman..and there’s nothing wrong with that, but think before you call white women easy! Maybe thats just the women you tend to go for, but I can tell you from experience, every white woman I’ve been with, I’ve had to work at getting with…It wasn’t no wam bam thank you mam type of ****! Same goes for some black women… but I can get it way easier from a black woman…and i love black women, but you just have everything ****** up! I think you need to pull ur head out of your *** and come back to reality! Thats all I have to say! Wanna reply?? Feel free! Cuz I’ll come right back at your ignorant ***!
I believe in lifting up my Black People
My children are Black and Proud people
who know their Black history well. I would hate it if they were to intermixed out of their own people but, If they did I would still love my children. I’m not afraid of this happening because they are not close to any white people. We don’t interact with white. We have no whites in our family but we do have some middle-eastern relatives.
I love my black people and will always
be supportive of them. I don’t like white people, as you can see what they are really like by their statements.
They are racist and they think they are better than Black people. That’s just the way they are now and have always been. Why would I ever want to create more confusion and disruption in my life by getting involved with interracial dating. The thought of doing that disgust me. I will vote for Obama because he is a black man. He also happens to be better qualified for the job of President. I know he’s so-called bi-racial but, when people look at him they don’t see white…they see a black man in Amerikkka.
To Erica, I would like to 1st say, that people will always talk about us, and all we can do is hold our man’s hand and smile! So its good to know we’re on the same level! And for the guy in #34, I would like to say that I dated many white men before getting with a black man, its just that my husband stole my heart. Simple as that! Like #37 said you just are ignorant I guess, and you must have had bad experiences with white woman, maybe you like skanks and didnt give classy white women the time of day, I could honestly care less, all I can say is that I have never given any man sex on the 1st night and same goes for giving away money, so your just stereotyping, which is fine because thats what ignorant people do. And for the classy black woman, I have nothing against you at all, sorry if I was generalizing, all I can say is that Most of the black women I have met have been loud and obnoxious with attitudes! And is you take offense to that now then maybe you are one of the women I am referring to! Anyway the women in #35 and #36 seem to be very classy, so I’m sorry if I offended either of you
You said it for everyone you will vote for Obama because he is “black”. You are full of it and I’m sure your not even registered to vote. I feel sorry for your kids having to grow up with a parent like you. They will never know anything but racism, because thats how their mother is! And for the record I’m a black woman who is not racist at all, married to a black man, but people like you make us look bad!
Man I’m so tired of this Black and White dating discussion. Ppl are goin to have their opinions in this world about who u should and shouldn’t date. I’m a black male, I have dated black women to asian women to a samoan girl. The point is that tradition is over, don’t get me wrong I love black females, but I like what I like and where my heart and feelings take me then thats where I’m going to go because I’m open minded to trying everything once. In all seriousness ppl are going to like who they like and for those that choose to stay with their race then so be it nothings wrong with that, but dont frown on those that keep their mind open and dont care about color, but care about loving that someone that they find.
To #34
You are the most iggorant man in this!! Maybe you & Sarenai should hook-up! Yall sound perfect for each other!
#35 & #36
I’m sorry if you feel that I was directing that at all Black Women, I wasn’t!! I was directing it to the ones I have came across in my life that act like we are the worse people on Earth & we take everything from them!! I have alot of Black Female Friends that I would do anything for! So Sorry If you took offense to my statements
Sarenai
The more you talk the more iggorant you sound!! You have never gave white girls a chance from what I understand! You are going to make your kids grow up hating white people and thinking its so bad to talk or date them?? What kind of person are you?? Like I told you earlier… Quit living in the past!! You never know when you might need help & what if there is only a White person there to help you?? I bet you will like them then!!! Iggorant Ass!!
#40
Thanks for standing up for Both races!! Sarenai is very iggorant!! Obama is a bi-racial man not just Black, but of course to make herself feel like she isnt voting for a White President she will refer to him as Black! Just goes to show once again how iggorant she is!!
I don’t have a problem with interracial relationships.
I am a black woman and I hate when a black female throws up the whole slavery thing. Your ancestors went through slavery not you and their ancestors were the slave drivers not them.
I’m attracted to personality not color. I bet that the people who are against interracial relationship are probably over 25. Times have change and it’s time to stop being ignorant and close minded. Stop letting something that happened to your ancestors depict the choices you make now.
You can’t handle anyone else options
Tooooo bad!
You’re not hurting my feelings
It’s doesn’t surprise me at all..LOL
I stated my opinions…like it or don’t.
My children are strong and well taken
care of. You really don’t offend me.
You’re only showing your fear.
I still respect my black people even those who disagree with me or try with
your insults…Blessings to you. Black Power Always! Yes I will vote for OBAMA!
Enjoy your day!
Sarenai
Who are you talking to?? If me, I never said I couldn’t hanle what you were saying because you are entitled to your opinion just like me! You rkids may be strong & taken care of but that doesnt mean you should shed them from different races because you dont like them! How am I showing fear?? That sounds just like the Black women I have had problems with, they want us White women to fear them?? Why?? Who are all to have such power over us? We are all the same!!! You sound so dumb with your Black Power crap!! How old are you?? I will vote for Obama too! I will enjoy my day!!!
That’s typical for sure
That Erica is something else
So much for not giving a care what
other people think…You act like
your having a fit and very angry.
You’re so narrow minded and you sound
sad to me.
Everyone can voice their opinion
like it or not but you are so judgement
for someone who said they don’t care what people think.
I live all people but, I love my black people.
I love all people is what I meant but
I truly love my black people and
keep your head up Sarenai.
If you white loving Negros really want to know what whites think of you after a long night of passionate and steamy sex and sharing your wealth with their families - Run for public office so these white folks you vehemently defend have a chance to really tell you how they feel about you, monkey!
Imani
I am not angry at all! I just feel that I have to defend myself & my family because of people like Sarrnai! How am I being narrow minded and sad?? I see that yall want to take up for your own race and I take up for my race also but its like Why is she so hard againist not liking White People?? What have we done so terrible to her?? If you dont see my side then you are being narrow minded!! You are right that everyone can have their opinion so why when I give mine, I’m the bad guy?? I’m saying to give us a chance!!! I love all people too, even Sarenai!! LOL!!!
#48
WTF are you talking about???
I don’t have a problem with interracial relationships. Having being brought up colorblind, growing up i didn’t see people for what color they were, but rather who they were inside. Growing up, i had friends of all races. My best friend is black. I grew up mostly around blacks and love them all. They have shown me a completely different upbringing that i am thankful for because it has truly changed me for the better. I am attracted to black men, but i am open to dating any race because it’s more than how a man looks for me to truly be into him.
I can understand where some black women feel the way they do. please understand that for me, i’m attracted to a black men, because i see there strength. Like i said earlier, i grew up around black folks, heck, they are my second family!! and i see all that they have to endure, with racism, the glass ceiling, the stereotypes, and it shows me, how much harder a black man has to work to get ahead. yes, i know it isn’t fair, yes, i agree that it should change, but that is the truth, and that true masculinity makes me love them that much more.
For the white women who married black men and made a comment about how black women have attitudes… well, they have endured alot of b.s too. and yes, for the most part, they do and may be should have some harsh feelings towards white people. what those white women have to realize is that you are not helping the situation by saying anything negative about black women period. because it’s takes a strong black woman to raise that black man that you fell in love with, and your daughters with be black women!!!
i do take some offense to white women taking about black women because:
1. My best friend is black, and talk about her, you’re talking about me.
2. White women will never know the true struggles of any colored women, so don’t try to play victim now.
sadly to say, racism is still out there, and it’s up to our generation to try to end it for our offspring.
Everyone needs to stop hating! Erica like everyone else is just stating her opinion… Imani mind your business, dont try to come into the conversation in the middle, once again…just another black person, who prefers black over other races..I have no respect for people like you…weren’t we all created equal??? I think its time for everyone to be equal..but people like Imani and Sarenai make that impossible! No stress here, I’m not white or black, but everyone really needs to get a reality check and grow up and as for #48… he must be old and stuck in old ways! Dont talk for anyone else but yourself is all I have to say to you!
Erica, stick to cussing at black boys, but watch you language when you respond to me.
When white folks stop running through the woods in North America in camo paint and shooting at Obama efigies, then maybe then there will be hope for america. But until then, you should calm your little hot temper because that won’t earn you any more street cred on this post!
and for the asian princess:
some of my bestfriends are black as well..and as for me, I’m mixed (black/white) but you are asian so dont try to come up with some colored women **** for real! U sound ridiculous! Everyone has had their struggles and I dont give a **** what race you are!white black, hispanic..it doesnt matter… dont talk about something you know nothing about…and stop bringing up history…grow up!

Sounds very ignorant to be neither while commenting on a black website.

There is no W.I.C. here and every black sister has yet to use foul language towards white chicks with black *****. So please don’t disrespect my sisters on this black website. Why don’t you go back to fox-screw-news and rant?
#52
Thank You!
Asian Princess
My best friend is a Black girl & I lived with black people and have also grown up around them, so please get out of this because you dont have a clue as to what you are talking about! Everyone has struggles, not just blacks!
#53
I was taught to say what I thought & I will use whatever language I want to use to you! Its not me tryin to kill anyone so dont hold that againist me! I’m not hot or angry & I’m not trying to earn any creds in this post! Just want people to see further than peoples color!!! Oh, nobody is disrespecting your sisters, just trying to get our points across!!
Sweet heart please #55, ur so full of ****! And this is not only a black website baby..so go on with all that ****!and I’m half black myself…so what??? Old *** man??? I speak for what I believe in! Look at your ignorant ***…obviously we must be getting to this old man for him to copy, paste and then comment on what we say :p…I guess mition accomplished??
Ashley said….
“you are asian so dont try to come up with some colored women **** for real! U sound ridiculous!” do you understand what “colored women” means???? ridiculous right?!?!
“stop bringing up history…grow up!” history has brought us to where and who we are today, maybe when you GROW UP, you will realize that.
And Erica, i’m not trying to start with you. you should realize that you are writing on a public site, and everyone can read it. some of your comments towards black women are simply not true and in MY opinion, uncalled for.
last comment….
I wasn’t trying to start anything by posting my opinions on the matter.
i, like erica, am not against interracial relationships period.
Who are we to judge anyone for who they like?? If it’s not hurting anyone, and it’s not against the law, then we should let couples be.
Ms. AsianPrincess
by colored people i meant black and white, im not speaking about asians… and yeah history has brought us to what we are today, but its time to let the past go and move on, talking about the past wont change anything! Everyone has their own opinions about things so leave it alone!
Serena
This is a public forum fool
It seems you stuck your nose in the
middle of it…I do happen to prefer
my own people, so you damn right.
You are a silly somebody whatever the hell you are—grow up yourself.
You must be shame to say what race you are—probably white.
Right on Sarenai
I agree with you
This stupid white girl
is an obvious wannabe black
She lives on this black website
I can see that
probably letting those bad ass kids of hers
run all over the place while she
fights with black people on this site
She’s pathetic
and YES
BLACK POWER if you don’t like it
get the hell off this BLACK website
go talk to your white people
with all your black complaints and issues
maybe you won’t feel so alone.
She paranoid and I have completely dismissed her. She’s wack and she thinks my last comment was addressed to her stupid ass but, that okay too. She white…typical and small. I’m so done with that tired lame-ass. You have a point about why she continues to blog on a black website…she’s been lost in a sea of blackness so long, she really
has no clue how to hang. Sad! I won’t even comment on her kids. Black Power
is right. When it’s whites saying white power I’m sure that doesn’t bother her at all. She’s special and with so much privilege…don’t you just get so jealous? LOL

Erica wrote; I will use whatever language I want to use to you!
Like hell!!!
It’s not my preference for myself or my children. First of all, I’m simply not attracted to white or other men. Secondly, I feel relationships are difficult when males and females of the same race have to learn to understand each other and coexist. Bringing the dynamic of race into it only complicates things more. My third reason is that I want black grandchildren. I wouldn’t disown my daughters if they went outside of their race, and if I had bi-racial grandchildren, I would love them because they are part of my daughters. But my preference is that my grandchildren, like my children, reflect me.
I prefer to share my life with a man who shares my history as a people. I don’t want to have to explain why I believe certain things or am passionate about others. I don’t want to come home to someone who might minimize my feelings about race relations because he has never experienced situations that I and my people have.
Since entering my 40s, I’ve mellowed about interracial relationships, for other people. I’ve come to the conclusion that if people can find real love with someone outside of their race, someone who treats them with kindness and caring, then fine, because at the end of the day, it’s about feeling loved.
But I have a REAL problem with people who have deep seated anger issues with their own race, and use that as their excuse for dating outside their race. The anger usually manifests in broad, generalized statements about black men or women. If a person simply admits that they just like dating whites, I wouldn’t love it, but at least I would respect their honesty. But when they justify it by saying that all black women are this way and all other women are that way, I know he can’t possibly know what he’s talking about…not experientially. I also hate it when black people, especially men, reach a certain level of success and act as if only a white woman or any non-black woman is worthy of them. I tend to believe, however, that these men are weak in some way, and say “good riddance”. If a man says, “I just like women! I don’t care what race they are” and he has demonstrated this by dating women of all races, I feel he is at least being honest, and I don’t fault him for that.
Love you Black Queen
You articulated that so beautifully, like you always do. You make having difficult discussions so easy and pleasant. I feel like black people always have to explain being black to everybody, sometimes even to ourselves.
For instance, I wear long Dreadlocs which I prefer to call Nubian-locs because I don’t dread my hair or its texture but,
white people, and I mean strangers come up to me trying to touch my hair asking me if I wash my hair or how I wash it or does it hurt. I ask how long do black people have to be on earth before they can get it, before they really see us. Black people are force to know everything about white people. It took a white girl (Bo Derek in the movie Ten) for them to realize cornrows when black people have been wearing these hairstyles for thousands and thousands of years. I mean they can be so stupid and It’s so disgusting to me. I feel like you do about racial issues. I’m not a big fan of interracial dating but, if it’s for real love—fine! Relationships are hard enough within our own race but, I will stay within my own beautiful black race of folks. Rance, you are a great inspiration and all of God’s blessing on you and yours sista. Peace to everyone!
Interracial dating…I personally don’t date out of my race, but I feel if you find that one no matter of race go for it BE HAPPY!!!!
Tall and Sexy Chocolate #36
sounds like he’s short and limp
Black women being pregnant more than
white women is your argument? What
an ass you sound like!
What bullsh-t! Get your head out your ass. White women are sleazy as hell.
White Girls gone Wild—nasty white girls—easy— so true. They are
jealous of our Black Nubian Goddesses
whose beauty surpasses the stars of many an Egyptian starry nights.
Black men are the envy of all men
the real true brothas that are down
and supportive of their sistas.
Sistas really have true love for Brothas
and it’s a far better love than any
other race of people can give them.
Sistas are there for a brotha
when that brotha’s coming out of prison
Sistas are there for a brotha
when that brotha’s down on himself
A sistas there to comfort him helping him to stand strong.
Like the Obamas with Michelle
loving her man Barack supporting
him and being there for him always
Black on Black Love is the Best!
white men and black women are the problem. they think something is being taken away from them we are all human just with different skin tones get over it.
I wouldn’t date a white girl
for nothing in this damn world. I’m down with sistas only. I love my dark skin honeys. no pale faces.
Thank you, Imani. You’re very kind. It’s always comforting to see your name throughout the blogs.
To debunk the myth that most people who are not on board with interracial dating grew up in the north, south or segregation, I was born and raised in San Francisco, CA. I grew up in a racially diverse neighborhood, went to schools with people of all races from all over the world. I never dated anyone outside of my race, but during my youth, I had friends who were black, white, hispanic, polynesian and Asian; so I understand people of various races and cultures up close. I know through experience, the good and bad of many people. People tend to believe that prejudice doesn’t exist on the west coast. It does, it’s just covert…the type of instances where you observe a pattern of subtle behaviors or treatment toward you that is not exhibited toward whites or some non-blacks.
I’ve never been one who tried to assimilate into other cultures, so maybe that was some of it. I’ve always been aware of my blackness and love it, so if people of other races could appreciate and respect that about me, then I could appreciate and respect who they are.
It’s also easier to be friends with people of different races and cultures as a child, but something changes as people grow older. I noticed that non-black friends and I were cool until they were in the company of their own race, then they tended to distance themselves from me.
My parents were born and raised in Mississippi, and they left the south when they married to get away from the racial climate there. They had personally known people who were beaten for infractions as small as not saying, “suh” or “ma’am” to a white person. They had learned that fraternizing with whites, especially of the opposite sex, could cost a black person his life. My mother told me the story of Emmitt Till when I was a young child.
Knowing that involvement with white women has been so treacherous to black men, I’ve never understood why it is so appealing to many black men to be with them. Why do black women hate it? Well, other than it seeming like betrayal to black women when they see black men with white women, there seems to be this element of gloating when black male/white female couples encounter black women. I usually walk by them as if I don’t see them, but many seem to want me to notice them. Once, when I was in a store, I had the feeling that a black man and white woman were following me around in the store, acting particularly lovey-dovey and speaking louder than was necessary, so that I was sure to see them. I saw them, I just kept on about my business as if I hadn’t.
The comments of white women on this blog seem to confirm that you enjoy rubbing your relationships with black men in the faces of black women. To me, that just seems like the mistress who feels validated in her womanhood if she can take another woman’s husband. I can tell when white women like black men even before I see whom they’re dating or married to, because they’re usually very combative with black women. If you’re so secure about the man’s love for you, then why do you need to pick fights with the women of his race? Didn’t you understand that you would face some animosity about your relationship with a black man when you got involved with him? If black women are hating on you for being with black men, it certainly doesn’t help when you try to be as obnoxious as possible about it.
I am against interracial relationships from a very realistic and analytical standpoint. Take in consideration that we as men and women are trained to value, empower and reward deceit and manipulation. As far fetched as it sounds I will attempt to demonstrate where we learn it from and suggest how we un train ourselves from this education.
To engage in the western world all races of people are frowned upon for embracing principles and practices that empower the concentration of financial resources, mental and physical health repair, and social strength. While a the same time our government wants to reward thieves on Wall Street via “bailout” with yours and mine tax money and never once resolve the needs of the working people mainly of black& people barely making it by!
Black women have the power to transform the fundamental value system in the black community by offering a greater reward to quality black men currently entrenched within the efforts of restoring the black family and black economic system. It will take two measures to be successful.
First, we must continue the acceptance of white women to be the prize of dishonest “STD” spreading- baby making black males that achieve via deception and manipulation.
Second, black women wanting unity via entrepreneurs, concentration of accumulated wealth, and improve physical and mental health should investigate the possibility of polygamy with black/Hispanic families where marriages are a minimum of tens years, own operate one home business while maintaining a steady income, and have practice credit discipline.
Thanks for reading, and if you can’t be black at least be Strong!
What Rance said is exactly one of the main reason why I don’t like white people, the great pretenders they are. I hate interracial dating. It sickens me. They gloat, they think, See…I can take everything away from you and just destroy your culture and pollute your beautiful black race. I hate it.
You can tell by the typical, white racist remarks of an Erica and few other white trashy low-life forms on this Black website, just how low they really are. They parade around with their noses so far up in the air…I think to keep from smelling the stink of all their own bullsh–,then they project their insecurities on black women. They call us jealous…they wish…LOL…then they say we should just get over it and deal with this ugliness by accepting it. Well I don’t accept it and I fight it by raising up strong, educated, black children who know their black history and just how great of a history we have. They learn about all the contributions black people have made in this world from before Christ until now all the inventors, scientists, educators, heroes, doctors, nurses, black male/female pilots, politicians, preachers, astronauts and on. They are taught about their race and history and that the best love for them is black love and staying with your own race. Knowing about who they are and knowing how beautiful black really is (because they don’t teach that in most schools)helps them to love who they are and to love and enjoy being black and to remain connected to black people. To support their own black people because if they don’t, who will? STAY BLACK! It’s a beautiful thing and it’s healing and comforting too. Black Love is Awesome.
that’s very funny short and limp for #36 that’s an obvious pimp to many a white girl stank skank and you can have ‘em.
I love me some black afrikan queens.
Tall & Sexless, you must be referring to the women of your family. We can’t help who raised you, don’t blame the rest of black women for your dysfunction.
I am a black woman who wholeheartedly agree with the statement number 12 made. Love has NO color…Why limit yourself?
Tell me a REAL reason that Blacks should only date blacks and whites date only whites? What you all are saying is crazy. LOVE is LOVE no matter what color your skin is. If you blacks cant deal with US whites loving your blacks then look the other way. No one said you have to watch. I am in love with a awesome sexy loving BACK man and I being a white woman would not trade him for the world. I was married to another man for 10 years and we had two white children who my new man loves to death. We dont even look at each other at color, we both no our history but we dont hash over that. We love each other as people and we stand strong no matter where we are at. I never look at someone and say “wow, they looked at us funny, must be because we are not the same color” how silly does that sound. Get over it, no matter what you think its not going to change the fact that black and white can fall in love and be very happy together.
I’m so glad that Barack Obama married a sista. They fit together in love so perfectly beautiful, just like they’re suppose to. I enjoy seeing their beautiful Black family on so many magazines and photos. I’m so glad that
Michelle Obama was able to find a true brotha, and that he obviously knew that only a sista knows how to really love a brotha. She’s there for her beautiful black lover/husband with that sacred connection that no other race of female can ever give him.
So, get over THAT…whitey!
I know that it will not cause a change because he is married to a black woman. If he would have married a white woman, he would have had hard time have black/white support. The woman is the figure of a relationship (I don’t what anyone says). Growing up in the South I have learned, that mixing of races wil ever be an expectable thing to do. I don’t care becauase i have seen enough relationships fall apart, just for forcing themselves to be together. Life is to short to worry about what people think about u and yours. Live life people it is a lot more things we need to be worried about.
This has always been a touchy subject but, this is what I know to be true.
At first it was whites wanting nothing to do with us unless we labored for them. They wanted racial segregation and separation from blacks and other races but,then they hate it if black people want nothing to do with them. White people want black people to love them while they (whites) have the privilege to keep hating on us. Personally, I don’t think integration has helped black people that much. I think it has really hurt black people more than we want to believe and on too many levels. For one thing, it has divided us (black folks)so much. It’s made it very difficult for blacks to work together and that has been to their (whites) benefit. They enjoy keeping us divided and watching us destroy ourselves. We keep moving to white (meanwhile white flight)neighborhoods instead of staying and building up our own neighborhoods and communities. We need to work, live and love together black people and it’s not to say you can’t live, work and love who you want but, I wish we would strive to do better for ourselves in this way.
And you are so very welcome Rance. I love your statement on #72. and as for
Tall and Sexless…very creepy
and so Pitifully sad…just pitiful.
Inter-racial dating and marriage is no longer taboo. However, it is my humble opinion that far too many brothers are willing to abandon sisters for women of other races. But it is the black women who raise their children and care for their elderly parents and do whatever we must to keep it together.
I don’t know why a black man would want to date outside his race when there are so many wonderful black women who would be good wives.
I love black men and I am disappointed everytime I see a brother with someone other than a sister.
Inter-racial dating feels like a person feeding the neighbors kids while their own children go hungry.
Just an opinion.

who know their Black history well. I would hate it if they were to intermixed out of their own people but, If they did I would still love my children. I’m not afraid of this happening because they are not close to any white people. We don’t interact with white. We have no whites in our family but we do have some middle-eastern relatives.
I love my black people and will always

They are racist and they think they are better than Black people. That’s just the way they are now and have always been. Why would I ever want to create more confusion and disruption in my life by getting involved with interracial dating. The thought of doing that disgust me. I will vote for Obama because he is a black man. He also happens to be better qualified for the job of President. I know he’s so-called bi-racial but, when people look at him they don’t see white…they see a black man in Amerikkka
Sarenai, i feel so sorry you. don’t get me wrong there are racist white people in this country but not all white people are racist. i feel espescially sorry for your kids because when your kids get out into THE REAL WORLD,they are going to interact with all people of all colors and they wouldn’t know how to talk to them. by the way you’ll never know one day you might find out you have white relatives. god works in mysterious ways. finally, about the comment about obama. he ain’t a so-called bi racial HE IS.That’s the problem with our people always worrying what other people think. f### what other people think espescially racist mofos
PS. ONE DAY A WHITE PERSON MIGHT SAVE YOUR LIFE. YOU MIGHT NEED A ORGAN OR BLOOD TRANSPLANT,AND IT COMES FROM A WHITE PERSON WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO SAY LET ME DIE? IF YOU OR FAMILY SAY NO WE DON’T WANT IT YOU ARE A DUMB MOFO. MAY GOD BLESS YOU
I am a black female that has dated and married twice outside my race..first husband was all wrong for himself..second husband of many years has been all right for both of us.
But I got involed in interracial dating because as I was growing up, and although I am very attractive physically, I was repeatedly told by my handsome black brother’s that I was “pretty but too dark”, can you imagine that, too dark for a black man’s love and affection? and I admit am very dark skinned.
Unfortunatly my dreams as a little girl was to meet and marry a very dark skinned black man, of which I sincerely desired, but my own community made me feel that I could never find real love with a black man. Now I could have compromised and let a black man sleep with me and become a single mother, but I was looking for companionship not a “baby daddy”
When I was first approached by a white man at the age of 17, he knew I was black, but he fell in love with me, which made me fall in love with me, and with him. He made me feel like a person and not just unacceptable color like so many black men did, As if after hearing that I was pretty but too dark I could just go run in the house and wash some of the blackness off, so I would be more acceptable..this is skin, not make-up!
Interracial dating was right for me, becuase it gave me love, hope and a future.
Today, we are fighting racism from within and without and secretly, we keep thinking that if we get lighter we will be expected…. this is why we cannot let go of the past injustices that were done to us and advance as a people, becuase we are enslaving each other by our own rejection and insecurities, and our past memories.
I think we need to except each other as we were created, and forget about other’s who don’t acept us..But that won’t happen in my lifetime or in my children’s…unfortunately.
So, Barak Obama is just a black man running for president his dual racial mix has nothing to do
