I'm young but I've been in my fair share of interracial relationships. I've dated asian men, white men, and Indian men. I've found that it's easier for me to date guys outside of my race because, I belive, I'm not racially "threatening". Nobody has ever said this to me but I believe it to be so. I prefer dating outside of my race simply because I'm only interested in interracial relationships. I love and adore my race, but I haven't found myself attracted to a black male in a very long time.

The "Joshua" character sounds like it has read every stereotypical negative article or forum post it could stuff into its sick little mind regarding the topic of BW and IRR dating. In comparison to the intelligent and thoughtful commentary posted by the other commentators, "Josh's" vitriol stands out like it were spray painted a vomit inducing shade of day-glo green.

Siditty I'm glad you let its post through, it made for a very telling juxtaposition between what a real human being would have to say on the topic vs a "touched in the head" troll's warped world view.

My opinion is the black community leadership has a vested interest in seeing black women stay put and the continued demonization of white men, it's a good political out for them. Same thing goes for multiracial folks, black leadership will do everything in their power to make sure one drop continues.
---------------------------------

I agree with that and also resent the fact that we are supposed to stay with black men for the sake of the race while they go and do whatever they want to do and date and marry whoever they want to marry. It makes me sick.

Hold on...C1 said "Despite the election of Obama, the old guard will try and do everything to keep the status quo of "white men as the ultimate enemy" and I'm talking about people like Rev. Wright, Louis Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton. Why? Because they have a job at stake."

Ok, this is just a personal thing, and perhaps its because I'm just plain sick of it, but people need to STOP mischaracterizing my pastor dammit! My pastor has encouraged Black women to marry white men IN OUR CHURCH!!!! Man, for people who claim to be able to be so open-minded, folks sure will believe whatever the media tells them! Ugh!!!!!!!!! When have you EVER heard Pastor Wright say "white folks are the enemy?" I would really love to read that...and I'm sure the white members of our church would too.

I'll stand corrected if I'm wrong but I don't think Wm are marrying say Hw in high numbers. I believe that number is lower then Bw/Wm marriages.
Where I live I hardly see any Wm/Hw together if at all.

Off tangent--In America, the Census stats illustrate that WM/HF pairings are the largest interracial pairings in America followed closely by AW/WM pairings. In addition, the Hispanic definition does not adhere to a stipulated race category like Black and White, therefore Hispanics can be any race and thus many self identified Hispanics are actually racially and ethnically White, which further skews the Interracial Stats and explains why it is often far more socially acceptable to marry a Hispanic person.

Even though all races are usually endogamic, the favored pairing among Asians and Latinos are usually White, with Asian men and White women less likely to engage in an interracial marriage compared to white men and Asian and Latino women. In fact Asian men have a harder time marrying out (they will likely choose another Asian nationality first besides their own) even though their first choice, if they decide to do so, would be a White women. The next choice a Latino Woman as shown in the Census stats.

Asian woman have usually been positively exoticized since Marco Polo and even though they may have some issues of racial invisibility in America, many White men have a propriety interest in Asian women and thus it seems that this pairing just seems like a natural progression. The only Asian group that is strongly endogamic are East Indians, although East Indian Men date and marry out more than their female counterparts.

I believe that with each generation, attitudes are changing and maybe one day, this won't be an issue. Here's hoping..

Re: Joshua
Although it's been interesting reading quite a bit of the crap that you've been posting, I agree with Siditty. You sound like a troll. Also, I don't know too many white guys who use and understand the term "colorstruck." I don't think the point of Siditty's post (IMO) wasn to completely slag off BW/American BW. And comparing American BW to Brazilian BW isn't a terribly fair comparison. It ignores too much about the differing histories of both countries....same applies to comparing BW of different countries. Shockingly enough, we're not all the same and neither are our background and history.

There are black men WHO DO NOT CARE ABOUT
SKIN TONE OR HAIR TEXTURE.I know guys
who have NO PROBLEM DATING A DARK SKINNED FEMALE.
The funny thing is Many of these guys are Dating
out side the race. Why? A guy I work with
CAN'T STAND THE ATTITUDE A LOT OF BLACK AMERICAN WOMEN HAVE,He is dating a Black woman from South Africa.He tell's me HE WILL NEVER DATE AMERICAN BLACK Females.

I also hear this A LOT From guys,
who have been to Brazil.
Brazil has a BIG POPULATION OF BLACK PEOPLE
There are 80 million Blacks in Brazil,
many of them are DARK SKINNED.
Just about evey black guy I know
who has been to brazil,noticed HOW DIFFERENT BLACK WOMEN IN BRAZIL ARE from American black women.
Many of them have Manners,most of them have
a positive Attitude about them selves.
They are feminine and CARRY THEM SELVES
IN A MUCH MORE POSITIVE WAY than A LOT
of American Black Females.
These women face a lot of Discrimination.
MOST of them LIVE IN POVERTY.
Brazil is a VERY Color Struck country. Blacks in Brazil are considered to be the lowest in society
Yet Black Brazilian women do not have the
Shitty attitude that a lot of American Black females have.

You went out with a guy from Leeds ??:-D...yeh,they're alright up there...but @ Nike...I'm not too sure about Edinbrugh...but if this is true...i must get myself ascottish bloke

Yes, in college, he was one of the first guys I ever seriously dated, if you count a semester of college. We were officially boyfriend and girlfriend for almost two months. Very serious. In all honesty though, he was the first white guy that actually actively pursued me, before then I didn't think I really had a chance with white guys.

'So are you saying that there is more acceptance in metropolitan areas than not? A guy I dated in College was from the UK and he said IR dating wasn't necessarily prevalent where he lived, but it wasn't unheard of or met with opposition either. Of course too, I don't think he was completely living in a small town either, I think he was close to Leeds.'

I'm not sure about acceptance but it is definitely more common in metropolitan areas. At least from my observations. Actually just last week, a guy from this area in one of my classes (i'm a grad student) showed interest in me. I don't know if anything will come out of this though since it's just been a week. I think with IR dating, most folks over here will ignore the couples they see in public.
