Question.

I have a question about these posts that I'd like to discuss mainly with the guys on the forum from overlooking several posts (such as these referenced above). The quoted poster believes that the men on this site are attracted to white women based off of hatred of white men. Do you think he has some credibility to his claim or is he saying it with the intent to cause problems? I'm bringing this up because I never even thought this was a possibility with interracial relationships that we engage in.

I'd like some opinions from other people on here who have more life/relationship exerience than I do, so we can get some clarification here.

 

I can only speak from my perspective. I think it's pure unadulterated bullshit.

 

Mike, he wasn't referring to every single member of the forum. He was referring to the individual that kept berating him for posting such topics.

 

Its certainly a possibility for some guys. I imagine, that depends on the individual black male and his perspectives, interests and reasons for being with a white woman.

Personally I can care less about any white guy, I have no interest in what another man thinks of me as far as it having any meaning to my personal life.

I suppose the closest one would come to that being an issue is if you encounter a racist father of a woman you are dating, a racist cop that might draw his weapon on you and attempt to flex his muscle, things of that factor.

As for myself I am interested in white women, that simple. Any black man that is basing his attraction to white women off of hating white men is giving a moniker of power to another man that he doesn't begin to fully grasp, not to mention doing a great disservice to the unfortunate women he becomes involved with.

 

Thanks for your input.

Well, I've noticed it's been several people (perhaps a handful) on here who he was referring to, not just one person.

Good post, GQ. You explained it clearly for me. Perhaps what Paniro was saying was based off of a stereotype that existed in the media (in his area) about interracial relationships between black men and white women. I don't have any animosity towards WM (except when they make it clear they do racist things towards you), but it's hard to understand why things that discredit/devalue this kind of relationship are brought up by other active users on this site.

 

Exactly, if they are cool and relaxed with me, I have no rhyme or reason to be negative to them in my interaction, unless of course they are reflecting a bigoted, hate filled nature by the simple fact that I am dating a white woman, as a black man.

 

Yeah, I see. The reason I prefer to date a white woman has to do with the attempt to find a "like-minded" person to be around, especially in terms of health and physical activity. A basic requirement that I have is that I would prefer to be with a white girl who is physically active (like I am) and also attractive. The health statistics in this country make it difficult to find a BW that I would be attracted to and fits the things I've said here, hence that's one reason why I'm on the site. I guess it makes sense to say that most BM/WW relationships are based on genuine love, it's just that there's a high level of judgement and ignorance associated with the happiness we're trying to attain because of this reasoning, which was in the "help white parents" thread that Ymra created.

I've began to realize that some people on this forum (mainly some guys) are bringing that kind of environment onto this website, and I don't think we all have the same/similar levels of attraction to white women. I think some people here favor other races of women over white women even though they're on this site and still say "they're interested in white women".

 

I am NOT here because I prefer black men. I am here because I am a ww and my boyfriend for a long time is a bm. Because of our relationship, I got really interested and researched one day through the internet until I ended up on this website. I am here because I like to see how ir dating is accepted around the world, I like to read the stories the individuals have to tell. It is a small community but we have something in common have/or have been with a bm. I find it interesting. AND this is why I am here.

 

i would like to award mikey this wooden spoon...in white of course, for trying to cause shit when completely unnecessary

 

For most of us on the forum, no truth to it at all. In fact, ive never personally met a black man who felt that way.

Also, anybody that tells you hatred for BM/WW relationships from white men is equal to hatred for WM/BM relationships from BM just hasn't experienced life enough... at the very least.

 

Ok, that's good to hear. To the second thing you said, I definitely agree with it.

It's not that bad of a thread, Tam and Tarshi. I just want to know, that is all.

A good thread to look at to gather more information about the global perspective of interracial relationships would be this one.

IMO, I would say that IRs are accepted globally, but a minority of people (less than 50% across the world) would take issue with those kinds of relationships. I would say that the world views interracial relationships in the same way that Americans do.

 

Lol.
