Going White

You mean, like how you never left? :smt006

 

^^^I love it!!

I love how she looks even happier 65 years later :heart: Just beautiful!

That baby girl is gorgeous!! I know all babies are beautiful and I know I'm totally biased because of my kids, but there's just something about biracial kidlets that tugs at my heart! So stinkin precious :heart:

 

Damn, y'al a riot up in here, comedy central............

 

It is possible to denigrate a group and have socioeconomic power over them, yet still fear them in an abstract way. In fact, that fear could have a lot to do with why social structures are the way they are and why they target and disproportionately impact one group more than another.

 

I have dated white women exclusively for over 2 years now. But it is not simply because of attraction. I love black women as well. But it just seems to be much more available white women; as far as the things that catch my interest. It has gotten to a point that I am trying to "wean" myself down from white women and "turn up" the black woman dial. But just hasn't worked out that way. I love all women but I don't love white women simply because they are white. It is because that person possess many other qualities that I am interested in; it just so happen that they might be white.

 

I love women. My preference, White women.

Me personally.... I have no real racial preference.

I should be grateful a female human being even takes some time out of her day to be attracted to me or any kind of man of African descent.

 

Low self esteem issues right here ^^^^^

 

pause...If you're grateful that a woman is taking time out of her day to be attracted to you then cool. That's you but please don't include the rest of us BM. Not all of us think like that sir! We are descendants of kings, all women should be grateful to be in our presence, you dig?

God I hope that's sarcasm. If not, that's incredibly sad. You need to remain single until you find a little more self worth, otherwise you're asking to be a human doormat.

 

You tell 'em girl! (in my Martin Lawrence voice)

 

What!? All you guys commented on this, I'm surprised!

I need to watch my mouth! :smt107

It isn't that serious everyone!

 

LOL please think before you post

 

I should. Let me clarify again on my post. What I am saying is that ultimately, because of the way the black community is designed and because of race relations in the country, if a black guy is in a relationship with a woman who is not black, people would try to tear it down and the sustainability of the relationship is at risk because of all kinds of problems (economic, racial, legal, moral, financial, political gridlock that obama's dealing with, etc) that our modern society has.

It's like you'll go into something and just (knowingly) have an unfortunate experience later on. It's as if we can't have a relationship with anyone because same race relationships with bm/bw (born in the 50s and 60s) happen later in life and the duration of those marriages are also shorter, and I learned this from reading a sociology excerpt in one of my college classes. It's like those relationships don't work and relationships that we have with people of other races don't work too well either.

It is what it is.

 

I feel what you are saying but as BM we need to work on rectifying those issues in the community. People of other races have always had stereotypes about us and probably always will, either good or bad. I say forget what they are thinking! We need to just focus on us as BM and being the best man we can be. If women of other races do not want to date us because of what society would think, then fuck them! We don't need to date any scary ass women! I've had good relationships with women of other races and they worked out well.

 

I think slavery and the events that happened in the 1950s and 1960s did a real number on us as a people. I agree with you're saying that we can develop initiatives to strengthen the standing of our community and how we relate to each other. Also we have to be aware that black people of the same gender can be racist against other black people. If we eliminated this, this could improve the condition of the black community.

To the second thing you were saying, the reality is strange though. Somehow Jeremy Meeks is a social media sensation with tons of white women from all over the world lusting after him, yet some other guy who happens to be black doesn't have any luck with women and he thinks rejections that he receives are because he's black.

I've now just started up dating/trying to meet women and I and created an account a few days ago (on July 3rd). I can't check back on it now and sign-in, but from looking at my e-mail, I've mostly received private messages from several women who are around my age or a little bit older (25 - 29) who happen to be white. I'll create a separate thread about that.

 

Mikey, I have never know a guy to put soooo much stock in the opinions of others, the way you do. It is a wonder how you ever get out of bed in the morning with such low self esteem. Post after post you lament your view of the overall state of the Black community and the low odds for success for Black people as a whole. I, and many others, have given you link after link and proof after proof that refutes your numerous claims.

The facts are that IR marriages are increasing, at a rate higher than at any point in history. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/16/interracial-marriage-in-us_n_1281229.html For the 500th time Mikey, believe in yourself and strive for excellence in all you do and you will have no problems finding and keeping a mate, and to hell with what others might think.
