Do Black Women Date Black Men Who Date White Women??

:smt038:smt038 Thank you for pointing that shit out. If a person was truly black, he/she would be black as tar. We come in all shades of black, therefore we are pretty much mixed with a little bit of everything :-|

 

I know you like to speak off-the-cuff....but that's not even true. Phenotype (like skin color) and genotype don't necessarily correlate. While it's true that the skin color variation in Black Americans are primarily due to admixture; a dark skin Black like Don Cheadle (around 20% European) can be darker than a pure African in some remote village. But you already know this....

Why the neutral smilie after we are pretty much mixed with a little bit of everything?

Again, I can't fully cosign this either because I don't know where you might be coming from with the "all shades of Black".

Black/AA is an ethnic group with people with various skin colors and genetic admixtures. I don't believe in White shade Black people however and the practice of assigning these people according to the ODR has gladly gone away. Some White Americans also have African Ancestry, that doesn't make them Black anymore than it makes Don Cheadle White.

 

You're speaking too much common sense to these people. Hence they will fight you.

 

It wasn't a neutral smile or anything it's really more of a question mark, some ppl will go out of their way to say that they are not black but yet they will have black features. The world pretty much see things in black and white. For instance if a man ran past you who looked like Tiger Woods, we wouldn't say that there was a man who was 1/4 black, 1/4 Chinese..... just ran past us, we would say that there was a black man that ran past us. If we broke down things specific to ancestry the real black population would probably be less than 5% if that much. To be black is actually being called mix in a way

 

I only find this to be the case with non Black Americans in the Caribbean who can ignore their African Ancestry with little impunity. However, Black people who go out of their way to tell you they are mixed should not be included in this. In fact, I'm not even sure what constitutes going out of ones way.

Some Black people love to mention the diversity of phenotypes in the Black community and then turn around and scoff at those who might get into detail about their own. That "we come in all colors" card is used in many ways to negate any mention of mixture. Black people shouldn't fear discussing it though or be worried that they are trying to be better than anyone else. The truth is all that matters. Genetic testing has blown away the Lil Bit of Indian in me tales that many of us heard growing up (but I don't get mad at the Black and White folks walking around claiming it though)

Granted, that doesn't mean Tiger can't claim anything but a Black "identity". In fact he claims to be "tri-racial". This seems to bother some Black people. We're either a group of African descendants identifiably connected to each other beyond skin color and admixture, or we're a group of African descendants consigned to a hypodescent underclass.

We should let people self identify and not get in the business of consigning people into a Black identity, especially if they don't want to identify as such.

 

All I can say is, DAMN!

You're knocking these posts out with a one-two punch.

What a beautiful mind.

 

co - sign with a dayyummm!!!!!!!!

 

Bitch shut your nothing ass up.

 

STFU..

Nelson Mandela is pure and unmixed....he is hardly Black as tar...FOOL.

MOST Black people in America look just like they did 400 years ago.

 

Flaminghetro, Karma and XoXo knockin' sense like a mofo. You guys articulated what I've been sayin to my confused biracial friends "you aint better coz yuse mix". Biracials are no better than monoracial. Pls....I dont want to get in debate about genetics of disease and all that bullshit right now.....but saying biracial babies are better and prettier are some self-hating shit as karma and Flaminghetro pointed out.

 

If and when somebody breaks Usain Bolts record he SURELY will not be Bi-racial..

They might be prettier..stronger..and healthier than white people...but not US.

 

I have to say that I don't agree with you on this Andrae, but that's okay, nowhere is it written that everyone has to agree all the time. Just because I don't see it that way, doesn't diminish your right to see it however you like. Whether we agree or disagree, I still luv ya babe. :yawinkle:

 

geez look at that. espy is disagreeing with andrae and there is no name calling or abuse, she's getting her point across politely. :smt023:smt038 wish some people could take a page from your book espy...!!!

 

Like I've said in the past Espy is in a league of her own. Heck she even has a thread all about appreciating her. Love ya too Espy baby. And as I've said before let's stop hating and get back to loving these beautiful ww.

 

I know of one biracial guy who remembers when at the age of 4 a grown aunt told his father he wasn't worth adopting because he "wasn't even fully Black." He grew up to serve society in amazing ways. She had no idea who she was talking about, who he would grow up to be.

I know of one biracial woman who had no friends in high school. White kids thought of her as Black, Black kids thought of her as not Black. So she had no friends, no boyfriends. Today she is one of the most powerful, successful, gorgeous women I've ever met.

When I was a little girl I spent some time in an all-white suburb. One little girl said she would never date a Black man because what if they fell in love, got married, and had kids -- what would happen to them? Today a biracial man is President.

People have hated biracial kids for as long as any of us have been alive. One biracial girl I went to high school with hung out only with boys, because she was simply too gorgeous for any of the other girls (of any race) to stand.

I happen to prefer dark skinned Black Men. My husband is a dark skinned Black Man. But I know that if you take my genes and his genes and shake them together, they will come out with the best of both. How can that not result in gorgeous?

In my family, amongst my friends, there are a lot of biracial babies. They flourish. All the babies are, of course, but I dunno. Maybe growing up hearing so many terrible things about biracial kids makes me cheer every time I see them flourish.

I don't know if any of what I'm saying makes sense, but I'm just trying to give some background on my perspective.

 

agreed on all point andrae. just thought it needed to be said as i detest rudeness for the sake of rudeness

 

I think you and I share that book Tarshi. I've never known you to get hateful with anyone, you're too much of a lady for that.

Yes please :smt058

 

thank you for noticing and for the lady comment, lol, it's not often the word lady and my name get used in the same sentence. :smt003

 

This is why we lust after you, Trashi :heart:

 

They do have it hard, cause it's like they're in an identity tug of war. It's really unfortunate. I think that's why some of us who are going to have biracial kids, have to be prepared to teach them that they're worthy and not to confuse them. It starts at home.
