Hi, I'm new here. Young guy (19). I wanted to ask you all an opinion. I stem from a BM/WW relationship. As a bi-racial man, do you consider that attractive ? Do you white ladies like Bi-racial men? How about my 100% Black brothers, is it true I'm Black :? ? Or am I just mixed....
Can't biracial people self identify however they like? there aren't any rules honey. Call yourself black, white, green or whatever you like, it's your life. And there are plenty of biracial man who are sexyyyyy, so don't worry about that. In fact many people are of the opinion that mixed race people are the best looking people in the world, regardless of the mix!
I am not of that opinion.. Mixed race people don't look any better than anybody else..fuck the dumb shit.. :lol:
Biracial people can be good-looking or ugly, I've seen both... I find most biracial/multiracial people very interesting to get to know because they are forced to think outside the box.
Are you black?...prolly to most whites you are..... And I concur, it takes two attractive people...good genes...to make an attractive person regardles of race...Sorry MB I get a litte icked about the whole bi-racial babies are so cute thing, probably because I have heard some of the strangist ish come out of people's mouth on the subject....One lady(white) told me my kids were a grace and gift to humanity because of their "blended" beauty :roll: *cookoo*. Some people can act real weird when it comes to biracial children.
/\ I think people with an agenda push the whole "Bi-racial is beautiful" thing (read: exticntion of blacks or whites through miscongrenation) I always believed a lttle mix along with a little pure maintains things quite nicely.
Perhaps. I should stress it's not MY opinion, just AN opinion. If it was mine, I would have said it was.
MB< I figured you were just saying something nice, no hard feelings, and from your personality I couldn't see you with that whole weird creepy attitude/misconception about bircial people. It's just used at as an excuse to vent about something that really bothers me. I'm sorry but to me, I have a hard time believing you're biracial and not just some character in your mind especially when you spout above drivel. A little mix......lordy I have no words for it, really I don't. It is as bad as some of the nonsense I hear just about daily when in public with family. I think biracial people make others nervous, especially if they can't pigeon hole them right away.
I getcha. It's a slightly freaky attitude. Your kids are little people in their own right, if people want to comment they should just say they're beautiful and leave it at that, without getting into a racial discussion.
No, I'm pretty sure I'm biracial. I mean, my parents being right down the street and all. :roll: . If you have an issue with that, it's probably a good idea not to post here.
What kind of nonsense are you talking now? yeah, I have issues with someone being biracial LMAO, gimme a break......
You obviously have issues of some sort. You come into a peaceful thread and talk garbage about something I wrote. If you've got a problem, (wo)man up and say what's on your mind.
OK, what's on my mind, lemme see....you ask a forum of bm into ww if you are Black b/c you are biracial, seems suspect to me....Who asks a question like that? Are you trying to tell me that in all your life as a biracial b/w person you haven't decided if you want to classify yourself as Black (or you feel maybe you have no right to) b/c your biracial), so you come online and ask a bunch of strangers what THEY think you are? If they think you're Black? *scratches head* um ok, do ww think biracial guys are cute? you ask, dunno maybe if they are cute regardless of "race", than yeah. Are you asking us if we think you're Black enough for us to find you attractive or something? Can't quite get my mind around that. b/w biracial children run the gambit so you'd have to be a little clearer on what you look like, you can't say do you think b/w biracial men are or are not attractive in a blanket statement, they all look different, some favor their white side, think, Derek Jeter, and some don't. A little mix along with pure maintains things nicely?!? You make people sound like some kind of hybrid flower.
People ask all kinds of questions. Trust me, if I was trying to mix it up, I could think of a million more offensive things to post. Being on a forum that deals with such a sensitive topic, I'm sure you'd know who's trying to be contriversal and who's not. As for the cute thing, yes, I do want to know where Bi-racial men fit into the discussion. I like white women and I have black blood. I mean, it doesn't get much more direct than that. Yes, I understand attractiveness runs the gammit. However, this site deals with the relations between BM/WW directly and what attracts the two groups together. So I wanted some feedback on where many WW sit on the issue. Maybe some WW want 100%. Maybe others see a case-by-case basis. Just looking for feedback. As for the labeling, I mean, it's just something to ponder. I mean, you guys deal with this directly, so it's not like it's some random topic. I'm not looking for some "end-all-be-all" answer, just a opinions. That's what makes discussions interesting. And as for the "little of this and little of that" comment, I was responding to the post about how people act nervous around bi-racial people (and they most certainly do). I first stated how some people have a dubious agenda in support/against miscongreation. I followed it up by my take on the issue as a whole, which is that I think both inter-racial desires as well as intra-racial desries add their own value. If we all were the same color, what fun would that be 8) ? Maybe the previous post wasn't properly worded. Apologies if any of you think devious intent. Again, all-in-all, it's not that serious. I'm not trying to light fires here, so please respond in kind.
I believe this point has been succinctly articulated but i find it of no malevolent doing if i add my own input. The issue of mixed race people (or dual heritage, as those who are "with it" would prefer) is, in my own opinion, poorly articulated and has been covered up for too long it is almost fetishisized. Here's what i mean - folks (blacks and whites, but in my opinion more whites) think of biracial people as less human than exotic. It's almost like a very beautiful dress one is expecting from her significant other but hasn't seen it and so she makes wonderful guesses, along the lines of, "Oh, i bet it is so beautiful". Allow me to go even further with two examples. A while ago, i was out in the malls with my baby cousin (actually, niece as she's my older brother's daughter). Now she's biracial as her father (my bro) is a black man of Nigerian descent and her mother (my bro's wife) is a Caucasian American of Swedish ancestry. Now myself and my niece walked into Toys-R-Us because i wanted to buy her a toy and so i was looking for the perfect toy. I had finished and was arranging the stuff, ready to pay and then my niece came and then said she saw a particular toy she liked. I told her to go and get it while i wait. Some middle aged white guy, noticing the energetic, hyperactive 5 year old my niece is, then said something along the lines, "Nice, cute girl you get there. The ones with the mixed blood are always the cutest. You're a lucky father. Now i assume the man believed her to be my daughter which i can understand, though he was wrong. I was thinking in my head, "Do i lash out at this muthafucka or just ignore?" I decided to calmly but firmly admonish the remark beause i honestly thought he was only trying to offer a compliment. I told him that dogs, cats and other animals are mixed, but human beings aren't. He apologized and i could read the sincerity in his eyes but it went further to point out to me how much fetishism rules in America. Another example was much recently, about two weeks ago. My fiancee, as i recall telling you guys, is pregnant and i decided to share the good news with an employee at work (who is white) who'd been away for a long time. Now this lady knows that my fiancee is Hispanic (of Cuban, Colombian and Dominican descent) and then proceeded to say, "That should work out quite well. After all, there will be a hybrid of colors in her genes". Immediately, i felt dazed and as though i heard a line in a movie and the screeching sounds of rewinding a VCR tape rambled through my brain (as i thought i should check again if i really heard that right) but alas, i heard real, human words. I'm pretty sure the lady read the facial expression that i was less than flattered and then she attempted to backpedal by "clarifying" what she meant. She said she didn't mean any harm and that she was only saying that Latin women are very hot and have white, black and Indian (her word) genes in them so the kid will be "super cute" (again, her phrase, not mine). I decided to "accept" the "compliment" for what it was - a dim, self-serving, half-hearted, attempt at cheers. I was much annoyed than the aforementioned incident because unlike the guy at Toys-R-Us, this lady tried to not only reproduce her remark, but justify it in the process. All i said was "Thanks" and kept quiet, continuing what i was doing. Now, in all sincerity, i felt that both individuals were simply trying to congratulate me and wish me well. But the meaning and context of their words went deeper than the actual words themselves. I appreciated the context but it left a deeper and more complex imprint - the exoticization and treatment (actually, make that lack thereof) of biracial people as who they are; human beings. I mean, come on? Hybrid of colors? :shock: Are you fucking kidding me? That's what art critics say about a painting, or what one might say about a piece of cloth, or dolls that come in a variety of hues. My (unborn) child should not be defined by what she looks like, but by her qualities (when she has them, of course). Bottom line, America (actually, the world) has a long way to go until achieving racial equality in all respects and well meaning but insufficient civil right laws alone will not do the trick. It's time to break this racist ideology out of the minds of the people. Ronald Reagan told Gorbachev to tear down that wall; i say we wbreak down the much bigger and stronger wall of racial absolutism.
Okay, maybe I'm navie. I mean, on face value, they said nice things. You did a lot in your post to outline exactly how you felt, but did little as to why. Is it you feel as though they were being sarcastic (in which case, rage is very justified)? Do you feel as thou they were using these statements as a way of covering up their inherent fear/dsilike of said child's appearence (reverse psychology)? PLease elaborate. I'm not trying to discount your feelings, but honestly I have heard far worse in my day. Just becuase it may sound cheesy, doesn't necessarily mean it isn't genuine. Not all white males have issues with it ya know.....
tell you what briarwood...post your picture in the picture thread...i can tell you if i think you are cute...but that doesn't necessarily mean that mistress b will think you are cute or whiteshedevil...now we are all white women but we all have differnt taste unless of course you look like tyson and then i can asure you that we will all think you are HOT...bottom line the kind of white girl you want to want you will do so for more than just your skin color however light or dark you are...hope this helps!
Well, as for me personally, unfortunetly, I got nothing on Tyson :lol: . However, I'm definetly trying to hit the gym and get myself on the right track. Also, I don't have a digtial camera. Trust me, when I think I got some game, you ladies will be the first to know :wink: . However, I can tell you, the hair is most definetly curly. I'm trying to wait it out and see how long I can get it to grow, I'd like to get cornrolls. I can offer you this however: [a]http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0109562/Ss/0109562/1-2.jpg.html?path=pgallery&path_key=Hines,%20Gregory[/a] This is Gegory Hines with a italian-looking chick. My father (Black obviously) looks so like him people got tripped up. And it helps the chick has my moms mediterrian look too. So if you could picture what their child looks like, you'd get a good idea where I'm at.
My boyfriend is sort of bi-racial. He was one white grandparent. Generally I prefer darker skin, but his charm, wit, personality etc matter WAY more than his skin tone.
