Black Men are Cheaters?

[APPIAH]

Pretty sure it has nothing to do with being black/white.

Just had a (black) guy on FB try to go out and I said, "Aren't you married?!" He's like "so..." I could say more married black men have approached me than married white men, but more black men approach me in general so that's not very telling.

I don't know why people get married, really.

To satisfy societal norms

So, funny story. I overhear this guy and two girls talking; this guy's trying to mack on these girls but they aren't feeling him at all and hit him with the ole "You're not our type".

He asks what their type is and they say "Tall, dark, and handsome, emphasis on dark". This guy gets all types of butthurt and goes on a rant about bm being dead beats and cheaters.

Now, I've heard these scare tactics from men and women to keep women from dating bm in the past, but I really want to address the cheating excuse.

What do you think of this stereotype? Will bm inevitably cheat on their partners?

Ive never heard the stereotype of black men cheating. If someone is going to cheat then they will. Race has nothing to do with it. In the past I told white guys that I only date black men and they almost always comeback with some kind on nasty comment which is why I dont do it anymore. Now I just say that Im not interested or that I already have a bf. From the story it just sound like an idiot shooting his mouth off.

I don't think this is about race, it's about choices and life style. A guy, BM or WM, who is very attractive or rich and famous will be harassed in any place. Everyone has a choice to scape from temptation specially if you respect your partner. Be tempted can't be an excuse to be a cheater.

You can't generalize all BM but some scandals with BM, usually athletes really soiled the reputation for others BM. It's sad. I think we can't say that BM is a cheater like we can't say that a beautiful woman can't be cheated because she doesn't look like an average woman.

It’s a ridiculous stereotype. I’m a loyal person in general, so cheating is out of the question for me. Besides, I’d feel immense guilt if I went through with it.

This is stupid. This is a stereotype for sure. There are cheaters of every race! I've slept with black men that were in a relationship, I've slept with a couple white men that were married. Ive also been cheated on. Has nothing to do with race, but everything to do with character.
