I have a white gf. I was married to a sister for several years. After my divorce I dated equal numbers white women and black women. Guess what: all the sisters fussed and stormed out on me. In the end it was no deep rooted desire, just found a woman I could chill with without the drama. I really wanted my black wife and I tried my best to find another. She dumped me.

Perhaps I ain't shyt. I think I try to do the right thing. Anyways, that's my story. Just so happened to land on a white woman. If any of the sisters would have been cooperative then it may have been different.

Most brothas feel that way, we would prefer a black woman, but if they ain't showing you love, we go where love is.It maybe with an Asian/white/mixed woman etc. Some Pimp said the deepest words in the game, "like who likes you"

I tend to think that everything has to do with slavery. I think that oppression is institutionalized and still very much effects black American culture and psyche in an untold number of ways. I tie most of our disfunction (including this) back to our forced subjugation to white people.

Having a white partner is a status symbol. A nygga will get more :salute: if he shows up with Becky vs Keisha. A sista will get more :salute: if she gets wifed by Bill Gates vs 2chainz

Hold up now :usure:

lol they aren't better but I think some of them have been raised/taught how to take care of home more efficiently than some black women.

A lot can be learned from both sides. They can learn how to cook flavorful food from us and we can learn how to organize and color code our cardigans from them.

first of all, all these black magazines, articles and news reporting about interracial dating are trying to sell mags and papers and so they sensationalize everything. don't believe the hype.

as far as successful, educated black women not able to find black men, its because they think being successful and educated makes them more attractive (it doesn't). Some of them aren't even aware of it or trying to fix it. They probably lack in what makes them attractive (and i'm not talking about looks). Add there are also probably less black men on their level financially and status wise. Women reach up when dating. They always want someone better than them (it's nature). If they value status and finance, they reach up, if they get a lower man, it usually doesn't last long because she won't treat him like he wants to be treated.

if she reaches up, there aren't too many black men so the black men higher up basically pick the more attractive to them (physically, but also personality wise). One thing i'd like to clarify: I'm not saying that BWs don't have those attractive qualities that go beyond the physical. what i'm saying is that if they do have them, they get chosen quick. if they don't, they stay lonely and complain.

Agree with all of this!

Eta: excuse the multiple posts. Trying to meet my min. Post requirement too.

@SelahOco I haven't watched the show but I fail to see how a black woman being a "powerful" white mans mistress is a positive for black women.

:heh: at the generalizations in this thread. My last 4 ladies couldn't cook a damn thing and they're representative of today's white woman.

So why do you guys make it such a big issue when a BW dates a WM?
She thinks the same way lol. :manny:

That mentality can't be good for you and not for the women?

Are white women/asain women more likely to follow traditional gender roles?

this isn't a black woman problem btw. In Africa, Carribean, where the gender roles are still intact, they don't have these mass relationship problems. They also don't have child support, welfare etc .. so a mother leaving the father is at larger risk + no benefit than in america where she has the court system backing her up. In america i'd say this rift between black men and women is social engineering ...guess i'm a conspriacy theorist.

I just think either your a couple that believes in gender roles.. as in the man is the head of the house etc... or your a couple that doesn't. Don't go into the relationship pretending to follow the rules and then switching up, which will obviously resolve in conflict.


btw men ain't attracted to degrees. so all that i'm successful and can't find a man talk is irrelevant.

It's more dynamic than that. He's going to leave his white, pregnant wife and probably lose the presidency because he loves this black woman so much.

Shonda Rimes writes to women's fantasy and some women like to believe that if a married man cheats with you it's because he loves you and can't breathe without you. So it's written as a live story and not as a white man and his concubine.

People like it because it puts the black woman in the position of being desired. He's gonna jump off a cliff for this woman. Meanwhile, his wife and a cold, calculating, power hungry white woman he can't wait to get away from.

It's quite a social commentary and role reversal. A welcomed message (foolish though it may seem) in contrast to the constant, and loud bashing of black women as single and unwanted.

This ain't really got too much to do with slavery because some white women have been asking the same question. Why do their white men flee to Asian women? Those white boys will tell you what a lot of black men who jump their own color line will tell you. They find women of whatever other race they choose to deal with more submissive and easier to deal with. A lot of the things some black men complain about black women, white fellas are complaining about white women. It wasn't black men, but white men that started that whole MGTOW movement. Asian men are having problems too... look up Japan and 'herbivore men'.

A lot of cats for some reason or another find more compliance from women outside their race for one reason or another and that's why a lot of them jump ship. A lot of those nerdy black cats weren't really getting play when they were growing up in high school from black women, who thought they were corny, but moreso from the white women. They just got in where they fit in.

Women do the choosing when it comes to relationships, a woman usually has a variety of black men to choose from, nerds to thugs. Most of the time with black women when they decide to go outside of their race its because they been hurt or feel black man ain't good enough.

As for men, we have to be chosen by women, the chances of a black nerd getting a black woman who appreciates him are slim to none

Lets take for example Carlton Banks (I don't know his real name). He would struggle to get a sista because he seen as a nerd, lacking thug attributes. The brotha had to be forced with who actually likes him.

Are grown men really looking at kids thinking that they would try them when they hit 18? Or y'all just playing?

With Interracial relationships in general, people usually switch up how they treat the person they are involved with. It seems they respect the person more than if they dated someone of their own race and are on their Ps & Qs more. Some may call it indirect racism.I listen to To Leykis a lot, he complains about white women like how brothas complain about black women
