Funny how the video started out with some playful banter, but then near the end it almost got a little heated there. I did notice that the guy felt like he had to let everyone know that he was still 'down for the sisters' so he wouldn't be seen any differently for having a prefference for non-black women. And the woman felt she had to reinforce that she was a strong black woman. However, overall it was a good video and showcase of having dialogue about interracial relationships from two different perspectives. I'll be glad when it gets to the point when people can just be seen as people who decide to date who they want, without feeling like they must carry the weight of a whole people, nation, community on their shoulders in fear of being judged or looked down on for decisions made in their own personal lives. Seriously, if a black woman decides to date a white man, and also has prefference for white men in general, in no way will I or have I ever felt upset by it, her decision will not cause my nose to gush with blood or the food in my mouth to turn to ash, I could care less. Even if she felt like somehow black men were not good enough for her for one reason or another, oh well, if I don't know her personally, I could care less, even if I did odds are we probably wouldn't be friends anyway if she felt that way. So with this being the other way around with most black women feeling upset by black men deciding to date outside their race for whatever reason, there should be no sweat off her back. The guy was trying to explain to the lady that there is a reason why some of the men have felt the way they have about black women, that it was from their own individual experiences. Guess in the end they both had some good points though.

 

The look she's giving him from the still in the video....as if I would watch this...

 

Yeah the 'shame on you' look, the 'no he didn't' glare.

 

Thank you for watching it. I enjoyed your response.

 

Funny video. Both of them seem like good people. The guy said "you know what Im sayin" a bit too much.

The black female in the vid was definitely pissed in the middle of it lol but she kept her composure.

I will say though that black females that are college educated are not really a "rare commodity" like that brotha said. There are more black females in college than black dudes I think.

 

Good honest post. I too have the whole let people live their lives like they want to outlook.

 

Very interesting video indeed.

 

IT started off as a seemingly good video, but it did come up as she got heated and was trying to tell him how it was.

I actually thought the black guy was totally right in everything he said, he wasn't entirely saying that he didn't wanna be with a black women and she seemed like she was trying to pinpoint him on A LOT and make him look bad. Unfortunately, kind of showed the stereotype that people DO have of black women and I know that is NOT what they were going for but that's what she did achieve.
What the guy was saying was true but he was also trying to be middle ground about it and not totally slandering black women however, she made it seem like that.

 

excuse me, they want a sistah but????? thats a generalization--if i wanted a sistah i would get a sistah. when i date a ww or any other type of woman, i am interested in them, their culture and respect who they are, not a substitute for a bw.

when people do these utube things, they should check and see if they have the education and articulation to actually carry on a real topic.

it seems the black woman was the intelligent one and the bm was degrading of IR dating, ww, and bw.

 

Interresting video.

 

Definitely agree with you...and especially the bold part. I feel like the lady was just looking for a reason to hate. This whole power to the educated BW mentality gets really old. Anybody can get an education these days - black, white, red and yellow...male and female...higher education is a dime a dozen. From what I've seen, preferences are preferences. If certain BM are into WW, they're into WW - period. BW shouldn't feel threatened by that, or feel the need to compensate for whatever it is they feel they're lacking.

Did I make any sense?

 

Yeah, you made perfect sense.

That's that insecurity talking. It's hard when you hate cause your self esteem is low.

I'm all for loving your race of the opposite sex, but I found it funny how he said he loves HIS Black women, but he has dated IR. With someone like her, if you say something like that, you don't date IR...lol

 

Mmmmmmm-Hmmmmmm....go on now, girl. Preach it!!

 

LOL! :smt045
