I'm just writing this post to encourage and express my gratitude to the non-racist white women all over the world who are open-minded and have no qualms at all about dating men from different races, cultures and backgrounds. I've heard of white women who adapt to all sorts of world cultures, settling down with their husbands even in their home countries, be it in Africa, Asia, Latin America, or the Middle East. They would dress traditionally if need be, learn how to cook the traditional meals of those countries, etc. It's really amazing when you look at it. Just from being here in the U.S., I can't think of any race or ethnicity of men who haven't at least been given a chance by white, American women. It seems as if non-U.S. males are much more likely to develop a long lasting and stable relationship with white women when they come over here. I mean...I've seen African men with white women; Asian men with white women; Indian males with white women; Portuguese, Brazilian/Latin American/Mexican men with white women. It's truly amazing and it's a good thing. It seems to me that the white woman is a lot more adventurous than women of other races and ethnic groups.
I think that may have more to do with position than race. White males from Western societies marry and mix with every race and class of woman as well. Think about it...
Not taking anything away from what you posted but the "status" thing may come into play as well in some of those unions.
I really hate to say this but this thread kinda disturbs me. I mean no harm but dammit, i've gotta say this. First of all, i am very appreciative of all the white women who've "stooped down" :lol: to date me and other black men. [That was sarcasm with the stoop down thing]. Anyway, back to what i was saying. I appreciate those who go outside of "the zone" but i don't like the direction of this thread. Or maybe it was not worded properly. From the words, it makes it seem as though white women dating black men is some kind of "achieved status" for black men. I don't mean to sound like those supremacists but on this one, i see it like that. You say, By that, you sound as though non-white men, especially black men, are desperate for white women. That might be the case but it certainly is not the case for me. The last time i checked, there were no "chances" so to speak when it comes to dating fellow human species. Its a question of personal choice. I think i know what you're getting at when you say that some of us aren't given a chance by WW but that could be said in a less condescending way. If a white women does not date you or any black male for that matter, it might or might not have anything to do with your race. Do not get it twisted; i aint naive :twisted:; i know there are many white women who, from the sight of black men, unnerving feelings emerge, but those ones are nothing to worry about. There are other races of women in the United States of America. You can pick from them if you're having bad luck with white women. Personally, i've had great relationships with WW but i know it aint the same for some. Just do not sound too desperate about it. Disclaimer: The views expressed here are only mine and do not necessarily par with that of everyone else or society at large. I will totally respect if you disagree respectfully.
you're being overly sensitive and reading too much into it. i guess some people really hate white women and interpret everything according to their feelings on the matter. he wasn't thanking ww for dating bm, he was appreciating the women who choose to follow their heart /or not be prejudiced but date whoever they are attracted to, in this racist, segregated society we live in. Seeing that most ww who date IR don't have it easy from society, family or friends, they deserve a little appreciation for chosing the hard road to take, even if first and foremost they do it for themselves, out of love or attraction, but they're also opening ways for more and more IR to be seen, get used to it and accept it. I feel the same way about bm who date IR considering all the pressure from their families, friends, angry black women, insults and thinking something is wrong with them to date IR, I really appreciate that they don't give up with all of these crap society gives them. when shaft made a poem about racist ww, you were so enthuziastic. too bad you can't show the same enthuziasm when someone says anything positive about ww. nowhere in this post did i get the feeling bm are desperate to date ww and ww are an achieved status..........wow! I'm impressed how overly-sensitive some can be, that is just to be elegant and not say paranoid.
:shock: I don't think that your second statement applies to most people on this board. Not from what I've seen and read. Just an opinion.
I know it doesn't apply to most people on this board. That's just how I saw the 2 posters' ahead of me statements .
I have to admit, I think his appreciation poem was taken wrong. and it bothers me that anyone would think "WE" thought we had to stoop down to date a BM. Most IR daters, if they date for more than the thrill dont' think in terms that way. A good man is always a step up... if you ask me.. because you always think of them in that type of respect for his personal value.
I can understand why some people felt he was maybe over doing it a little... But people feel and see things in their own way and for that, he could never be wrong. But something we should also remember is this: For every white person that dates outside of their race, there is someone of a different race dating someone white.
true designer.. I guess I looked at it that IR dating especially for those who date for more than just a fling/sex... it brings with it extra pressures and so I appreciate black men who are interesting in dating IR even if it comes with it drama from the outside.. so I just looked at it like Shaft as a BM was appreciating that about the women who date BM.
