This is really weird because I haven't checked my blog today, but lo and behold, this was on my dashboard (via tumblr): “I am a White female who is engaged to a Black male-good-looking, educated and loving. I just don't understand a lot of Black female's attitudes about our relationship. My man decided he wanted me because the pickings amongst Black women were slim to none. As he said they were either too fat, too loud, too mean, too argumentative, too needy, too materialistic or carrying too much excess baggage. Before I became engaged, whenever I went out I was constantly approached by Black men, willing to wine and dine me and give me the world. If Black women are so up in arms about us being with their men, why don't they look at themselves and make some changes. I am tired of the dirty looks I get and snide remarks when we're out in public. I would like to hear from some Black men about why we are so appealing and coveted by them. Bryant Gumbel just left his wife of 26 years for one of us Charles Barkley, Scottie Pippen, the model Tyson Beckford, Montell Williams, Quincy Jones, James Earl Jones, Harry Belafonte, Sydney Poitier, Kofi Anan, Cuba Gooding Jr., Don Cornelius, Berry Gordy, Billy Blanks, Larry Fishburne, Wesley Snipes… I could go on and on. But, right now, I'm a little angry and that is why I wrote this so hurriedly. Don't be mad with us White women because so many of your men want us. Get your acts together and learn from us and we may lead you to treat your men better. If I'm wrong, Black men, let me know.†Disgusted White Girl, Somewhere in VA RESPONSE “Let me start by saying that I am a 28-year old black man. I graduated from one of the most prestigious universities in Atlanta, Georgia with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Management. I have a good job at a major corporation and have recently purchased a house. So, I consider myself to be among the ranks of successful black men. I will not use my precious time to slander white people. I just want to set the record straight of why black men date white women. Back in the day, one of the biggest reasons why black men dated white women was because they were considered easy. The black girls in my neighborhood were raised in the church. They were very strict about when they lost their virginity and who they lost it to. Because of our impatience to wait, brothers would look for someone who would give it up easy without too much hassle. So, they turned to the white girls. Nowadays, in my opinion, a lot of brothers date white women because they are docile and easy to control. A lot of black men, because of insecurities, fears, and overall weaknesses, have become intimidated by the strength of our black women. We are afraid that our woman will be more successful than us, make more money than us, drive nicer cars and own bigger houses. Because of this fear, many black men look for a more docile woman. Someone we can control. I have talked to numerous black men and they continuously comment on how easy it is to control and walk over their white women. I just want to set the record straight. I want “A Disgusted White Girl†to know that not all successful black men date white women. Brothers like Ahmad Rashad, Denzel Washington, Michael Jordan, Morris Chestnut, Will Smith, Blair Underwood, Kenneth “Babyfaceâ€Edmonds, Samuel L. Jackson, and Chris Rock all married strong black women And, to flip the script, there are numerous white men, in and out of the spot light, who openly or secretly desire black women over white women. Ted Danson, Robert DeNiro, and David Bowie to name a few. I just don't want a disgusted white girl to be misinformed Stop thinking that because you are white that you are some type of goddess. Remember, when black Egyptian Queens like Hatsepshut and Nitorcris were ruling Dynasties and armies of men in Egypt, you were over in the caves of Europe eating raw meat and beating each other over the head with clubs. Read your history! It was the black woman that taught you how to cook and season your food. It was the black woman that taught you how to raise your children. It was black women who were breast feeding and raising your babies during slavery. It is the black woman that had to endure watching their fathers, husbands, and children beaten, killed, and thrown in jail. Black women were born with two strikes against them: being black and being a woman. And, through all this, Still They Rise! It is because of the black women's strength, elegance, power, love and beauty that I could never date anyone except my black Queen. It is not just the outer beauty that captivates and draws me to them. It is not the fact that they come in all shapes, sizes, colors and shades that I love them. Their inner beauty is what I find most appealing about black women. Their strong spirit, loving and nurturing souls, their integrity, their ability to overcome great obstacles, their willingness to stand for what they believe in, and their determination to succeed and reach their highest potential while enduring great pain and suffering is why I have fallen in love with black women. I honestly believe that your anger is geared more toward jealousy and envy more so than snotty looks. If this were not so, then why do you continuously go to tanning salons to darken your skin? If you are so proud to be white, then why don't you just be happy with your pale skin? Why do you continue to inject your lips, hips, and breasts with unnatural and dangerous substances so you can look fuller and more voluptuous? I think that your anger is really a result of you wanting to have what the black woman has. BOTTOM LINE: If I were looking for a docile woman, someone I can walk over and control, I would give you a call. But,unfortunately, I am looking for a Virtuous Woman. Someone that can be a good wife and mother to my children. Someone who can be my best friend and understands my struggles. I am looking for a soul mate. I am looking for a sister and; unfortunately, you do not and CANNOT fit the bill. No offense taken, none given.†Signed, Black Royalty
I got to learn these new social techno lingo, I was wondering "what kind of badass car does she drive that she can see all this from her dashboard?!" They both sound full of it to me.
they say to your face that they wouldn't date a black woman? woww well i think it doesn't really matter there's good ladies in all ethnic backgrounds.. black girls can be prime stuff. i dunno why guys would say they wouldn't go for that..
After reading most of this thread I have came to the conclusion most Americans subconsciously are racist. You put so much deep thought into race. I live in Australia and my my friends are split between race and I have dated a few more white chicks then black/asian but I have never put thought into before this post. Each race has its own features which can be ugly and can be very hot. If your talking about looking for a partner instead of just general sex its even worse, Because you get to know the person and all that is holding you back is there skin colour. I am a pale white guy with freckles but my longest/best girl was a very very dark asian. Cmon guys look deeper\ EDIT: Also honestly think to yourself and I am confident you know just as many white girls that are annoying backstabbing bitch's your just focusing on sassy black woman atm
I like to stay with my own race and I'm attracted to my own race. If thats offensive, then I'm sorry. Actually I'm not.
I agree with that. Even if you really don't think you are, you most likely still are. I doubt it's only Americans though, but I'm just an American so what do I know.
Maybe I am just tripping but I think there was a study for it. It showed even black Americans were inclined to pick white leaders over black
Im a black male, i dont like black women because i find them physically unattractive, even more so, almost replusive to look at. Im sorry, but thats just who i am. Ive met some very nice black women, but the vast majority (even the non ghetto ones) i find borderline repulsive to look at. I love american white women, middle eastern women, latino women, mixed women, and some asians. European women might be nice to look at but i hate their accents, and i very rarely find women darker than myself attractive (im pretty fair skinned for a black man). I just dont like dark skinned women, or the facial features/complexions that many african american women have.
I could do a black chick if I tried but I wouldn't date one purely for the public perception. There I live there are like 7 black people and I don't want people to think that I have black fever.
Speaking purely in stereotypes... Asian women are petite, quiet, and are considered more subservient. Black women are larger in stature, more outspoken and independent. White women are sort of in between. Men like to be in control and be the dominant force in a relationship. You do the math.
You know what, I know I'll probably get flamed for this, but I'll be honest because I've always fucking questioned this. There are some attractive black females, beyonce for example, but my biggest issue is that most of them have GREASY ASS hair. Now, I have been told that blacks have different types of hair that supposedly can't be washed everyday...but c'mon............ Well, this is all from personal observation but its fucking true in my area.
yea, comments like these ^^^ actually have nothing to do with what the OP was asking. that was rather specific my dude.
Ive only met a few black women that I thought were attractive, and even fewer who id even want to lay a finger on (trashy, slutty, what-have-you) but last time I checked personal preference in who you fuck isnt racism?
Uh actually, this is exactly why I won't date em. So yeah. Or should I say, this is why my preference is usually white girls / any girl that keeps themselves degreased / clean.
It's funny how others use "honesty" in such a manner, without much respect or understanding. But let's be honest here bro, you're acting like you have options, or you're smacking em away. I have several white friends that are fairly good looking guys, and I have yet to see any of them in a situation where they've slept with a sista much less turned any down. Maybe you got it like that or maybe this was an opportunity for you to post material like this, who knows?
Well shit I figured everyone would take offense to this, but it is the truth. As a wise man once said, "It is discouraging how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit." Maybe it is different in "your neck of the woods", but what I observe to be true was exactly what I said. And I have one girl in my life, never meant to sound as a playerrrrr.
