When black women and men marry whites they marry down. This idea of marrying up is false

i can agree with the "wife" part. with the other statistics i posted, i found one stating how lighter skin is overrepresented among married black women and the stats for a darker black woman finding a husband is low. i didn't want to post it because it is so depressing. if i can still find it, then i will.
I agree that hearing that is quite depressing.You dont have to look and post it here.

It is an issue that Im aware of.

White people aren't even concerned enough to research mixed people.
mmm, are you saying whites are doing it intentional or they don't care?:patrice:

Majority of mixed people classified themselves as black, so I can see why they might not do research on it.

I still see more mixed people with blacks, but if you talking about rich mixed kids who has a celebrity black parent, than I agree that they will be with their white side more.

Most mixed men I've seen marry not black.

The woman yeah a lot of black dudes chase them so I can see thinking more of them marry to black guys. But from my childhood the two mixed girls I knew both married white dudes. Both of them had no connection with their black side at all as their black father wasn't in their life.

I think more marry white especially when you take into account mixed men.

A good example to look at is the Mowry family.

They have a white dad and black mom.

2 girls and 2 boys. Most of them are with non black partners. The two boys dated or were dating non black women. Tamera married a white guy. Tia married a black guy.

:russ:Lol, I was like what your talking about.

But still it's just one survey, white beauty is still number one with white males.

I can agree to this that mixed males likely to marry white more(well at least at the west coast) and mixed women likely to marry black more.

Well hey if you said mixed men were more liekly to marry out then Id agree.

Yet when you mention both genders I was like WTF because I rarely see a mixed chick with a white dude especially as we mentioned before a lot of black dudes chase them.

Such a shame black beauty isnt appreciated much in this country.

yeah mixed guys are funny sometimes. you can have a regular light skinned guy who likes black women.give that same guy a white/asian/mestizo mom and suddenly :mjpls:

but that makes sense. i read another survey (not study) conducted by an author about black men in IR and half admitted that prejudices against bw were the reason they sought a non-black partner. that is only the ones who admitted this. i'm sure many others held back.

arm that with insecure non-black women in these specific relationships (not all the relationships are like this) who attain their value from being told how better they are than bw i can totally understand how these households can result in kids who don't really like black women but are okay with black men. i don't see this as much when the mom is a poser, but those kids are usually c00ning and justify some of their mom's behavior like saying the n-word

when the mom is black, the case is more complex depending on how much hate she has for black women. i've heard mixed guys preach against black women because their mom was picked on for being light/mixed etc and told him horror stories about black women that he most likely did not grow up around. or, since wm make the most money, i think it increases the likelihood those kids will be from a white suburb...and they'll like what they're around
Us black people have problems that we as a community need a conversation about our self hate.

Because a lot of black people in america see themselves threw the eyes of white people, and some black people have to admit to themselves that they see themselves as white people see them.

That way we can start removing that self hate out of our community.

I've always scoffed at the idea that some black women can't find black men on their 'level' so they have to turn to white men instead. The reality is most of them marry the first white man who wants them.

Most of these guys are not necessarily into black women it's just a convenient option. They themselves usually can't lock down a comparable white woman so they settle for black.

I've known at least 2 different black women like this. One of them was my ex neighbor. She was a very well dressed and well spoken professional. I don't know her exact profession since she rarely ever spoke to me but it was a corporate job. Her white husband was a cable and satellite installer :stopitslime: with a big white van parked outside their house. Low skill blue collar. No offense to any of my brothers working as cable installers but chicks like her usually thumb their noses at black men with similar jobs.

The second was an ex coworker at a medical sales company i worked for. She only dated white guys and her boyfriend at the time was a dude who worked back in the warehouse of the same company.

The guy was cool everyone liked him but he was a bum. He had a drinking problem, multiple dui convictions, no car, no house he used to crash on different peoples sofas or was always needing a roommate in his 40's. :what:

Meanwhile the girl was earning about 50k a yr. It's apparent that white guys in similar income brackets are generally not interested in black women.

You ain't lying, I have a cousin who was dating a white bum, and he cheated on her with another black woman.

And remember most of these black women who have good jobs aren't really that attractive and awkward personalities.

Do you consider the two women you mention attractive or basic or ugly?
