To whomever asked, I live in Dayton, Ohio.

I live in Toronto, Canada

Scooby or whoever you are, first of all please check your S-P-E-L-L-I-N-G before you post okay?!

Secondly, you nullified your own statement by DISRESPECTING THE LORD when you use HIS NAME in one sentence & then procede to CURSE/PUT DOWN your fellow man in the following ones! Not cool at all my friend, not cool at all!!!

Yes I have and would again. It’s not about skin colour, it’s about being,valued,respected and honoured as a black woman.

yes i would date a white man

i have before….they’re diffrent in their approach but race is not an issue with me.

“the one predjudice i will admit to however is that i DONT want to have biracial/mulitracial kids because i feel like when a lot of black people are doing positive things in society you look closer and theyre not fully black. our society is stagnant if not in decline and i want to raise the kinds of BLACK men and women i wish i saw more often!”

This is a sad statement because someone looks a certain way doesn’t say that much about his or her genes. Thirty-percent of all “white” Americans have African ancestry. Moreover, the average African-American regardless of skin tone has 20 to 30% European DNA.

However, I do agree that there should be more portraits of African-Americans of darker complexion who succeed in life as doctor, lawyers, scientists, politicians, or entertainers. That would be a positive influence on ALL people.

PS Oprah did this episode in response to the movie; which is free advertising. “Something New” is a nice story; however, I was disappointed that they made some of the African-Americans in the movie acceptable racists who reacted negatively to interracial dating. How likely is this to really happen in 2006? No one in my family cares about the race of any family member’s lover. We were taught that love and respect are more important.

^ As LONG as this thread is (458 posts!!), I think the concept is still very controversial to some people.

I sincerely hope that some of you caught the season ending episode of “The Boondocks” last night! If not then please catch it on a rerun! You just might learn something…if you’re NOT careful that is…lol.

Peace.

I would…but its just never happened (opportunity). i’m open to almost anything.

Well…it’s hard.
I have dated white in the past and got all sorts of stares from the brothers (the “what is she doing with him?” stare). And like “i’m not her”, he was Banana Republic white. We had the same ups and downs as my relationships with brothers and I would now say that I would date anyone who treats me well and respects who I am.

I WOULD DATE A WHITE GUY…I FIND SOME OF THEM MORE ATTRACTIVE THAN BLACK GUYS….IF I HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN A SEXY WHITE GUY WITH A NICE PERSONALITY AND A SEXY BLACK GUY WITH A SNOBBISH PERSONALITY I WOULD CHOOSE THE WHITE GUY.

I am a white guy, currently dating and completely in love with a black girl. I really can’t find any reason why we shouldn’t be together. I really can’t believe this would even be an issue to some people, this was our parents problem, our generation should be the one to have learned that it doesn’t matter what color you are, but who you are on the inside.

The same goes for all the generalizing of black guys going on in this post, saying “black guys aint shit”. It is not a product of their color of skin, white guys can be scum just as much as asian guys and so on. There is alot of white trash out there as well, and from my experience, some of the black guys I know are the type of guys I would let my little sister date.They’re Just good people.

I’m normally NOT into white ladies but I would maybe even consider dating one before I would date alot of the “BLACK MALE HATING SELLOUTS” on this board! And that’s a shame!

Aha!!! There it is!

You would date a white girl before you would date us “sellouts”, yet we’re sellouts because we date white men? Talk about hypocrisy. I was waiting for someone to spout some shit like this.

That’s the exact reason why I’m not interested in black guys like you. And you wonder why some of us don’t want to date people like you.

Aha my a%$…yeah like I said, with all the black male hating sellouts up here…believe it! Wouldn’t even want to.

The black women in my life are nobody’s fools but they don’t hate either!

Like I said, hypocrisy at it’s finest.

So with somebody white or what?

it depends its all about personality and character

Hey Drew, loved reading your comments,very well stated.

Actually, no. I’m with someone Asian.

NAW….I WOODNT MARRY A WHITE DOOD UNLLLESSSS HIS FIRST NAME WAS BILL & HIS LAST NAME WAS GATEZ!!!

@Fuck a name

Yeah, good luck with that…

Wow! One day went by without a comment.

I don’t have a problem with dating outside of my race anymore because as a black woman, I see sooo many black men dating women who are not black and most of them are happy doing it so why should I hold back on the possiblity of happiness. Women should discriminate against men who are disrespectful, broke, lazy, liars, cheaters, abusive, funky, etc. Not because of Race/Ethnicity. That’s too shallow.

Why not! We are all people and there is someone out there for everyone. I’m black and filipino, i’m only a teenager but my whole life i’ve been attracted to white guys. I mean i’ve been attracted to black guys and mexican and asians. I don’t understand why people make such a big deal about it, it skin color its about how much your body absorbs light thats it.

I don’t really care if people don’t want to date outside of their race but why would you care if there is another interracial couple. Like for example a black girl and white guy walking down the street holding hands why should some old ladies opinion effect you. People should be attracted to personality not the person skin color.

Most of my friends are open to dating guy regardless of their complextion. But i do have a couple friends who say they would never date a white guy and their only reason is because the guy is white. They can be friends but thats it. It doesn’t make sense, ok maybe if it effects the family. But if you don’t want to date a white guy because your afraid of what your friends will think, date him anyway, if they are really your friends they will respect your decison, if not whatevet.

Sorry this was kinda of long i had to say everything i wanted to say about interracial relationships because i think its important for people to know that it is ok to date outside of their race. and that they should be ashamed. and to the people (not necessarily the people on her) who have a problem with interracial couples get over it because people can’t fight their feelings and give up love because others don’t like it or think its “wrong”.

Ok i think i have said everything for now.

I would, i mean he goota look good. but over all i would date a white guy, since i’m half white but i perfer a black guy, lol

H H H H HEEEELLLL NNNEEEVVVVEEERRRR

NEVER EVER!!!!

I require my partner to understand me from the first inch of regrowth of my scalp to the corn on my left pinkie toe!!! I white man cannot understand the complexities of a black woman!!

As long as he treats me rt!

All you insecure black women out there dating white guys!!! Im not leaving out black men dating white women either!!! What sucks about this white/black love crap is that their folks rapped, killed and tortured our people for hundreds of years and for you black ignorant women/men to sleep and MARRY one is a disgrace!! They will claim that it wasnt them who did that to us but it sure in the hell was their bloodline. Why mix yours with theirs? When you black women are sleeping with these white men think about how their fathers, fathers rapped and killed young black girls 7,8,9 etc…!!!! Talk about sleeping with the F#@#K’N enemy!!! I as a black man will NEVER part my seed with a white women.. I don’t hate people but the truth is the light. We as blacks need to build on our own EXISTENCE….. Wake up Negros.

Just to let all ya’ll know. I am a very strong black woman and proud of my heritage. However I’m married to a white man. Blue eyed Blonde hair. However, his daddy is darker than me. He is 1/2 Sirian, a country in the Middle East not far from Africa. When we met I didn’t know that. To me I was looking and talking to a white man. So you can’t ever judge a book by it’s cover. I did notice one thing about him and it was his lips. They were not like most white men they are full as mine. His eyes and lips is what turn me on. We did notice one thing that we got more noses turned up by more people of African descent than of White. When God created man he didn’t say who we had to love or who we couldn’t love. God is Love no matter what ethic background you come from. For the record white woman don’t even turn my husband head. His mother told me that her son has always been attracted to women of color. My husband also always marks the words of Ludacris the best looking women resides Africa and that’s real. Holla Back Ya’ll

Hey Mrs. Adbo. My aunts husband is Syrian. How do your families feel about your relationship?

Wow! This subject get deep on so many levels. As a teen in the late 80’s growing up in Southern California I wanted to date inside my race but none of the Brothas that I was interested in wanted me at all. They wanted pretty, brownskinned Sistas who lived in affluent areas like Ladera Heights, ViewPark, Baldwin Hills, etc. The Brothas I was attracted to only liked the “Jack n Jill” girls who came from “Huxtable” type of families. I lived south of Crenshaw and that wasn’t good enough for them. Iam lightskinned but I didn’t have “good Hair” & “no Booty”! So basically I was fucked for adolesance. I have grown into a very secure young woman and I did no allow the socioeconomic rejection from my own people keep me from dating and eventually meeting and marrying my wonderful Canadian husband of 13 years! I am so happy and he has always treated me like his little princess. My husband is a professional & a very good providor for our family and the best father in the world for our children. People, I implor you to get out there and to not limit yourselves. Life’s short try to be happy!

I’d date any ethnicity. As long as they can treat me with kindness, & respect. Then I’d date them. But I’d rather stick to my own race, but I won’t say that I won’t step out of my square. I’d date the one who can respect me for who I am.

I don’t think I would persue a white man but if one came up to me and I liked his style I would date him.

When will you retarded black girls learn you are just sex objects to these men.Ask a white,hispanic or arab man what he likes about black women and i bet everything he says will pertain to sex.

id date ANYBODY FINE! with some sense, sensibility and sensitivity, with a job that aint a broke bum! lol

oops lemme rephrase “anybody” to any MAN…cuz i dont go the other way lol

depends he needs to know who da boss is in da relationship at all times = me just in case he gits pissed off and make da mastake and call me a nigga and i hafta take him out of here so let me rethink dat naw

I have never dated a black guy, only white guys. I’m just more attracted to white men i guess, i’m always suspicious of black men (players) and in the UK (which is where i live), there are lot of black men dating white women so it goes both ways, if people call me a sell out, i call the brothers big time sell outs! I also find that white men are more affectionate.

I am from the Bahamas and black men are definitely into white women here, they love the way they expose themselves in public wearing nothing by a thong bikini.
Hell yea, I would date a white guy if there is a mutal attraction and interest. My perference is black men, but i’m open it.

ummm i dont know i mean i have before but he was blacker than me!!!!lol but i mean i dont mind dating outside my race hispanics defitnetly whooo child…….lol,um but i have seen some sexy white dudes paul walker,halle berry’s man,orlando bloom, johnny depp….. whoo give me a moment to breath…………!!!

BOTTOM LINE

40% of Subsaharan Africa lives off less than 1 dollar a day. 38% of adults and 35% of adults in Swaziland and Botswana have HIV, 20% of South Africa has HIV. One corporation (Anglo American Corp) which owns BeBeers diamonds(80% of the worlds diamonds) has headquarters in south africa and this corp controls 40% of south africas stock exchange(LIBERATION???)
Of the 9 million adult black men in the US, 1 million are in prison right now another million have felony records. We are the most economically and politically unorganized group of people on the planet and blacks in the US spend billions. 70% of black families are single parent. Blacks get exploited by other races and the poor get exploited by the wealthy everyday and there is no consequence at all.

THIS IS ABOUT THE SURVIVAL OF THE RACE.

YOU MUST MARRY WITHIN YOUR RACE TO CONTINUE TO PRODUCE POSITIVE BLACK FAMILLIES OR END UP LIKE THE NATIVE AMERICANS (no disrespect) - REFUGEES IN YOUR OWN LAND.

THINK ABOUT IT

II would date and even marry a white man because when you peal away the surface, we are all the same underneath anyway. Besides, if God desires for me to marry a man who holds all the qualities that would compliment me (as I would hold all the qualities that can compliment him) then why should I deny that because of something as shallow as a complexion difference?

I love all men. I appreciate the wonderful differences God has created within the human race. I know that if God has ordained for me to marry a man who just so happens to be white (or otherwise), He will surly give me the grace to go through the possible adversity my husband and I will have to face. Our union would be a sign to the world that the strong holds of racism and discrimination are being torn down.

Goodness man Whats going on in here. Black on black hate cant we all get along.

Anyway im a black guy in i really dont have a preference for any particular race. All i know is that if i love a woman i love a woman. What color she is should not be a factor.

Ok so who cares what race u date as long as u love each other. If you date people outside ur race thats ur business but it had better be a good reason. Dont go dating white men or women cos ur sick of ur own race. It means u have issues and anyone regardless of race will dissapoint you. Instead do it cos u like people of that race or something.

YEAH I WOULD ,HE WOULD HAVE TO LOOK REAL FUCKIN GOOD!

I would date outside my race. I have always loved all men no matter what their race was. In fact, I became attracted to a coworker last year. Me and him managed to establish a great friendship. You could always tell that we liked each other but were hesitant to do anything about it. Mainly because another coworker of ours always had something to say about black/white unions. My friend cared because the coworker who always had something to say was his best friend. However, we continued to let our friendship grow. After allowing our friendship to grow for a year we finally let our physical wants take over one night. Amazingly, he was THE BEST lover i’ve ever had. He was caring and passionate. Me and him are still friends but we never did anything like that again. I think we felt awkward about it. Not just because we were friends but also because it made us realize that dating and being together was almost impossible with our lifestyles. However, i think he really cared about me but was too scared to face the pressures of society. The point is, I agree that it is possible for a white man to truly and sincerely like a black woman and want to be with her…but only the ones who are willing to deal with society will make it happen. My guy just wasn’t ready for that. Unfortunately, after our year-long friendship…i managed to really really care for him. It kinda broke my heart that we couldn’t be together. Though I LOVE LOVE LOVE black men…i’m definitely open to white men. My white guy was an Abercrombie and Fitch kinda white guy. i don’t like those fake wanna-be white guys who try to incorporate themselves into the black culture and try to act like they are not white.

In case it wasnt clear…my friend was a white guy.

Ahh, nice story RYKEL. Bittersweet

I think more black women would date white men than vice versa. Also I think more black men would date white women than vice versa.

No, but am open to dating any race it just depends on the individual.

i’m not at all nearly as experienced as some of you are, so i will not pretend to be, so this is merely based on morals and perspective. first of all myths are myths for a reason, just belief…there isn’t anything scientifically proven that says white men have small dicks and black mens are huge. in addition, some are bringing up the point of not wanting to date or be involved with a white man because they may not know the struggle our people have faced…but in my town, i live in the east (nj, near ny) and some black men that i’ve come in contact with need a little history lesson too. some of their problems are that they think the world, including people of their own race, owe them something. i’m all for reparations but when a black guy is always blaming $4!t on “white america” - not saying it doesn’t exist but still - is becomes annoying. we all have to deal with being black and america, along with hidden prejudice - but you have to suck it up and show people that their stereotypes of african-american people are unjust and ignorant. therefore, i’m just saying, don’t use that excuse because some white me know and respect that, and believe it or not they do not believe they are superior among minorities. i also find that some white guys are way more respectful than black males, but that all goes back on the way people are reared. SO…when it comes down to it, it depends on the way a man is reared not his skin color, because i will be damned if a brother is going to disrespect in a multitude of ways and i just stay with him because of our skin color, when there might be a white male who loves black women and is just waiting and searching for the right one for him. also, who they are as a person plays a role. like i don’t dig the whole “acting white or black thing,” if you are white and you listen to punk rock and wear skinny jeans and band tees (w/a hansome face and good head on shoulders along with wonderful morals) i honestly can say that is attractive and i would go for that, but in addition if you are black and listen to r&b/rap and dress urban (w/a hansome face and good head on shoulders along with wonderful morals) i can also get down with that; but it becomes a problem when a person pretends to be someone they are not…plus i don’t really like that whole thugged out look on ANYONE - white or black. idk, it all depends but i for one will not say i will never date a white man and that i will date only black men because from both races men can be scum; it all depends.

Err..Hell yeah!! If all these black men are hookin up with white women, why can’t we??

U know, whites and other races are generally the least racist towards dating outside of their race, it’s more likely the blacks. The most hostile groups of people towards sisters dating outside their race are the following:

Black men who think black women ‘belong’ to them and somehow owe them. Some of these brothers are the same ones who will date white women, but give black women dirty looks if he sees her in the arms of a white man. Hypocrites.

Those ignorant bitter ass black women who interpret biracial marriages as selling out or being traitors. These sisters are those lonely ones who spend their whole lives ‘waiting’ for a black man, without realizing that there’s a big wide world out there to explore with plenty of men.

Even though a lot of my black female friends are either dating or even married to good, hard working black men, there are those who are treated like nothing by other black men. For example my friend Tonya, shes one of the most beautiful girls I’ve seen. She’s got a chocolate-brown complexion kinda like Kelly Rowland. None of the brothers in her neighborhood ever paid her any attention, but were eyeing the white girls, the Latinas, the mixed chicks. But when she went to college, guess who she got the attention from? White men, Hispanic men, Asian men. She graduated 5 yrs ago, and is in fact happily married to a white man and is expecting her first child. This man treats her like a queen. Their love is mutual and unconditional. No fuss, no complaints, nothing!

im a white guy nd i find black gurls real attractive im kinda scared to approch 1 jus incase she turn me down cause the color of my skin but id rather date a black gurll then anyother race

I guess I’m one of those weird black women because I’ve always liked white guys. Not those thugged out wannabe types either. Just your average, cute, dorky, “thin-lipped” white guy will do I’m dating one right now and I really wouldn’t have it any other way, but to each her own.

Yep
