I regret reading this thread! rolleyes Live and let live and I am certain your statistical figures (since I have hung on that scene are skewed and untrue!) The majority of football and basketball stars I have associated with through their BLACK wives..... would be offended.

Then maybe the question is why don't we see these relationships (same race) vs seeing the interracial relationships? I'm just asking a question to forward the convo.

Its interesting that some actually applaud Denzel (I know he's not an athlete but he was the first to come to mind) for still being with is black, DARK SKINNED, wife as if that is a rarity.

It is a known fact that the least married are black women and asian men....what's wrong with us? sad

I have other things on my mind at the moment as you know..... I have a solid respect for you. I can't answer as to why you see it that way. I can only say that it isn't the reality of what I have seen. I don't think that those I know are not given equal exposure. Maybe it is what one feels on a personal level and or what "media sensationalism" most intentionally sells.....

To another end.... things often aren't what they seem. I for one am only 1/2 white..... but would instantly be viewed as a blonde, blue white bimbo by much of the ignorance on this thread. ( I happen to be the only "throw back" in this generation to occur.My family are all darker all the way around.....)

Your point was that black woman of dark skin aren't represented in media... I am sorry I don't see that on a personal level and have been at many a celebration which speaks that just isn't true. I DON't watch television or read trash media..... So maybe I am somewhat out of the media spin now...

the rest of your post throws some variables in there I'm not sure how to equate with what I'm gonna say. But what I encounter with this phenomenon is a kind of retrobution thought process... vs. that white slave owner ages ago that wasn't to kind to your kind; one is dating/fucking a white chick to take what he swore was his and would've never let U have it things hadn't changed.


as for white chicks...I think it's half money...but they ALSO wanna piss of their pappa's...
that said... the above are mitigating factors I believe, but I'm sure MUCH of it is just people falling in love with who they fell in love with regardless of skin color or rhyme or reason.

That is the most blatantly racist and ignorant and FAR from what I would have expected from you remark that I can think of!



I may have misrepresented my thoughts here. For I am not a chick. I do not know what they are thinking. But I don't see how it's racist on my part.
. I have tried to date several white chicks who wouldn't date me cuz it might anger their fathers. That's what they told me at least, and I believe them. If this is true, then I'm positive the other end of the spectrum is there as well, with most of it being in the middle, or neutral, and not caring about the race of the individual. I may have came of as thinking that any white chick/woman was with a black dude/man for this reason and I don't feel that way.

It's impossible to say that women in general don't date men in that are in direct conflict of any of their fathers prefrences, strictly to anger them. It happens. Maybe not as often as my statement may have portrayed, but it happens. I will also amend my statement with the fact that it's usually younger women/girls who are still heavily under the influence of their father that exibit this type of behaviour.


I myself am mixed race and I see nothing wrong with the flavor mixing. These are just my observations of society. Not my personal feelings. As my friend says, "I'm an equal oppritunity employer," and I believe everyone else should be too.

Muse, I was just asking a question. Not saying I agree or disagree. Look at what I put in bold. I was just raising the question...putting it out there. smile


As far as the darker skinned black women issue. Just sit and watch BET (if you can stand it). Most of the women are light skinned, latin, asian or white.....rarely a darker skinned woman. There is a huge issue within the black community and even other communities (look at imago777s post) regarding dark vs light. Its unfortunate but very real. There are books about the issue one being the "The color complex".

There are black women on this site that have even posted that they have been told that they are "cute to be so dark". You'd be surprised how many brothas tell me how they are "surprised" they are attracted to me when they only like lighter skinned women. Or that I'd be cuter with straight hair...etc.....

Its real. BUT thank GAWD for those who like chocolate...lol!!! smile

I've been with guys who have sid that they aren't usually attracted to black women but that they're attracted to me. Now, I am half black with light skin and what would be considered "good" hair. that men feel like it's okay to make comments like this pisses me off to no end. pissed It makes me wonder if they would have been interested in me if my skin was darker or if my hair was kinky but inside I was the same person.

I also get asked if my hair gets lighter in the sun and wouldn't i like some blonde highlights some day. and it's almost always a shame when i get a tan. what's wrong with my hair being dark? what's wrong when my skin gets darker in the sun? i always wear sunscreen. it's not like i'm out in the tanning salon frying myself to a crisp.

I love interracial relationships and I love mixed babies even more, but sometimes i wonder if women of a darker shade get automatically passed over as 'wife material' because of their dark features. and then that gets me on the "will i ever get married" tangent and there's no reason to go there... lol

As always, the voice of reason. It's amazing so many have this naive view of society. Everything Rhondab & Imago said is gospel truth. For example, all my latino friends tell me marrying someone a shade lighter is considered "marrying up". Like Rhondab said, I know many brothers who favor light-to-honey colored sistas. A while back, I saw a special on the children of American GI's & Vietnamese women. The ones with black fathers were treated much worse than the children of white fathers. This sh!t exists, and it's not going away.

I'll propose another concept.... Maybe too many woman and people in general are tolerant of ignorant individuals. I am not naive to the fact they are there, I simply choose not to infect myself with their schools of thought... I am quick to address such remarks. I have had many a man say a strange ass remark to one end or other and am THANKFUL! I am glad they have exposed themselves and quick to remove myself from that environment.

I haven't even dated in the last 18 months because I know what I am seeking and when it presents itself I will know. I have learned to pick up on the verbal que tossed out before stepping in. It isn't to say people with strange views won't grow beyond it...it is to say I address it and move on because it isn't my responsibility to stick around and wonder if they will.

I just don't understand why woman throw themselves before men of select views. I see them do so very often... when I question it they defend them to the hilt! disbelief

I am aiming my remarks generally.

It's not something he really embraces though is it? I don't know what he has or hasn't said about being Thai but I know that many Thais aren't too enamoured by him.

Besides, they've got Thongchai Jaidee. biggrin

Yeah it is werid how people play into society's boxes. I don't know why they choose to marry outside their race...and belive me I have nothing against interacial dating...I mean I am the product of an interacial marriage but yeah I have noticed that too. But alot of athletes come into my work and get lots of dances from me and I am far from the buffy type if that counts for anything. biggrin

Hmmm you know what I have also have been noticing alot? Well for those of you who don't know I work in a topless club and you can see alot of male/female interactions going on. I don't really know if that can be parellel to what is going on in society of what is going on in a strip club but I have been noticing alot of white men going after alot of black women. I don't know if that is just a Minnesota thing but I have found lots black women that are very receptive to dating white men. I'm not sure if alot of white men in the strip club enjoy getting dances from black women because many of them have never been with a black women but I find many white men are very open minded to dating outside their race. In Minnesota at least it is VERY common to see black men with white women but not the other way around but latley I have run into tons of black women with white boyfriends. I mean my best friend is black and she only dates white men. I really don't see it as a bad thing I see it as pretty positive. I have heard alot of black women making the argument that too many black men are dating white women so alot of black girls I know just started dating white men...I guess it works out well for them because they tell me that white guys treat them better anyway so I guess it works out well for everybody! biggrin I think interacial dating is a positve thing anyway unless like athletes just getting the buffy type not because they actually like and relate to the woman but for some sort of status symbol....I don't understand that.
