Does it really matter what colour a person's skin is?

I don't see anything wrong in that i think people have the right to date whoever they want no matter what color they are.

You are a black woman. So, you should be able to answer that.

There were a bunch of African Princesses with White Guys on T.V. the other day. I will post the link so you can see the part for yourself. http://www.mandjshow.com/videos/interracial-relationships/ Mr. Right could be Mr. White

What is it with black women complaining about black men's relationships? Isn't there enough of them out there?

Personally, I just see more black men with white women than vice versa, I don't know why. From watching TV (like interviews and reality-type stuff) and also from personal experiences, I see much more black woman saying they would never date a white guy and many black men eager to date white women, again I'm not sure why. I'm with a dominican who is very dark and in others' eyes might as well be black since that's how everyone who doesn't know him assumes him to be, and I get many unappreciated looks on the street, especially from black women (well, and also old white women). I know other white women with black men, but I honestly can't think of one black woman with a white man. Anyway, if more black women dated white men, they'd probably start popping up on TV. But why does it bother you so much? People should be with the person who makes them happy, whether they are white, black, or anywhere in between.

So...you don't want to see black men and white women, but would like to see more black women and white men? am i understanding that correctly? that doesn't make sense to me. you can't be against one and for the other. I for one do not see any "epidemic" of one race loving another as "sick." I don't see why it matters to other people anyway. it's not like you have any claim on these black men dating white women. it's not a big deal.

The site is not letting me post this as a comment so hopefully it will go through as a answer. To the asker of this question: I'm not sure if you saw the two-hour special on Oprah about the remark Don Imus made, but many intelligent black people, including Russell Simmons, Common, and Dr. Benjamin Chavis, former CEO of the NAACP and current President/CEO of the Hip-Hop Summit Network, discussed their opinions, and the general consensus was black people will stop being treated as the scum of the country when they stop acting like it. I am not trying to be racist, that's what was said. You should look it up on youtube, it was a very eye-opening two hours for me. Also, slavery and everything after was extremely wrong but white people today have no control over our ancestors and not all white people today are racist so don't take it out on all of us.

Hmmmm. I don't like this question, and the reason is simply because of the word "sick" - why does interracial dating have to be considered "sick"? If it weren't for interracial relationships with black men loving white women, I wouldn't be here. -4 for you, my friend. -4

This question made me throw up a little bit in my mouth. That's really all I have to say.

i don't know about this question i am black and i am dating a white guy. but when i look at him i don't say oh your white and i am black i just see some one i really like. i think people get to caught up on color. i don't know any body who says let me go out to day and find somebody whose white, black, or olive color it just so happens that the one they find just might be of a different race.

I almost threw up when I saw this question. Why do you hate seeing black men and white women together? How would you feel if a black man was bashing on black women and white men dating interracially? Think about it.

"Why don't I see more black women and white men?" In my opinion, political correctness is the answer. The knee-jerk liberal reaction would be something to this effect: white males throughout history have felt that it is their prerogative to mate with any woman of their choice (via colonialism, for example), but men of color who have had relations with white women have been greeted with violence and lynchings. I.e., white men feel a sexual superiority and dominance, and view their women as property which the dark man better not touch if he knows what's good for him. Therefore, liberal television is bending over backwards to portray black men and white women in sexual relationships as often as possible in order to rub it in the face of white males and put them in their place. I'm a white male, and I couldn't care less who mates with whom. But I really do believe that this is the petty agenda behind the phenomenon you have taken notice of. It doesn't have to be a conscious agenda for it to be real.

it's all about who you love, not the color of your skin!

your lookin in the wrong part of town, go to a collage campus and you'll see it the other way around

When it comes to black-white interracial relationships, there are more African American men married to Caucasian American women than vice versa. Everybody has a preference. A movie called "Lakeview Terrace" was focused on white men/black women relations.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it but when you stereo type good men and put them in the same category as the bad ones you'll never find a great black guy and there's a lot of them waiting believe me...I am one of them

Yes, Carmella, it DOES! Because society gives the impression that it is trying to quash the existence of black women or make us appear stupid, like these neck-rolling, attitude loud-mouthed bullying freaks to make them less desirable. Now with this kind of portrayal it's obvious! That makes men of all races want to date us less. Why can't people see this? This, along with people saying things like, "You're articulate/smart/pretty for a black girl." That's why they say it. Not all black women are the same. They don't all dress, look, feel, or talk the same. What we have in common is that we are of the negroid race as opposed to the caucasoid, or mongoloid races. When you are a white woman, you can be set up with any guy of any race...when you are black, you get "Oh, I just know the perfect guy for you." And the only thing you have in common is that he is also black. So, let's say a white girl gets to date and marry a nice, attractive, well-to-do black man or white man. And an Asian girl gets to date and marry a nice, attractive, well-to-do black or white man. But black girl gets thug or none (just saying it is rare that we get the same exact choices as our white and Asian sisters out there do)! This is REALITY! Why must we be ignored and treated as if we are not good enough. What???

Sistah, if you want to date white men, then go for it but dont call me sick for dating white women

because white men are not interested in relationship with black women as much as white women are interested with relationship with black men thats just my opinion.

I think that it is just a jealousy/territorial issue on your part, honestly. If you are a good person and take care of your self, you will find a man. Stop worrying about who black men, and for that matter, anybody, is dating and focus on your self. Both black men and white women are free to do as they please, and you don't really have that right to call them "sick". I am a white woman dating a person of another race, though he is not black, and a lot of people of both our races look down on us for it. So all I can say is you are all the sick ones for judging us and our love.

you're prob just sick of not seeing more black women on tv? just remember that in the media, they put on what is commercial. That's all. If they think it will make people watch/listen/log on, it's what producers choose. Television has nothing to do with real life. In real life, I think it's a wonderful thing when people have the choice or the courage to date who they want. Hope you feel the same.

Go to europe you will see white men with black women all the time.Europeans men have a thing for black women , i don't know what it is but alots of them love black women.America is different, white men in america don't apreciate a beautiful black women as a european men do , it might be because racism in american , white is better , i guess.By the way i am from europe.If you want a white men , or want to see many black women with white men , please go to europe.

You really should have worded the question differently, but I understand that black women can feel somewhat abandoned when black men marry out of their race, when they feel that they have fewer opportunities to do the same. It can feel like and unfair betrayal. I don't believe you are being racist, but just feeling frustrated that the numbers are working against you.

that's the problem with the world today.the lady asked about it. made her "opinion" and she is being attacked!in my opinion from what i've seen black men date white women mostly because they take thier crap, where as a black woman will not! and that is from a close friend of mine (black woman) who only dates white men .because of the way the black men "tried" to treat her!

Our society took 40 years to get over the racial thing between blacks and whites. Did you ever see "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?" Now, for the record, I am white and my wife is black. See you soon!

First of all, you should know that back in the early 60s there was an FCC chairman named Newton Norman Minow. He made a speech referring to television as a "Vast Wasteland" back in the early 60s. Sherwood Schwartz, the create of Gilligan's Island named the ill-faited boat after Minow to make a statement. Television has become a vast wasteland. Just turn it on and you can desensitize yourself to murder, adultry, foul language, and improve your great american, "me first" attitude, if you like. You can learn such self-proclaiming phrases like, "welcome to MY planet." and learn new ways to massacre the english language. Plus, you can pick-up the latest in meaningless phrases, like, "it's all good." It is rarely ALL good. Oh, and for the record, my black wife and her white husband (me) are available to host a christian television program.... "christian and television"... boy that sounds like an oxymoron to me.

I'm a white man. Bring it on. But I'm not attracted to the massive chests nor the "apple bottom jeans" thing. It's just my taste. So maybe it has to do with physical attraction and not just skin tone. Also I'm under the impression that it has some racist/sexist overtones: that women and blacks had both been oppressed by the white man, although I personally had nothing to do with either, but that there can still be some grudge remaining, and so that white women and black men have this insider thing going on. And that in the same regard, black women with white men would seem to be regarded as sell-outs, uncle toms or aunt toms I guess. I dated a black girl twice, but had to stop due to some personal issues, tried to ask another black girl out once to no avail, and would have been more than happy to oblige (yet realistically woefully unqualified for lol) when an ex- suggested (somewhat in jest) a threesome w/ us and her black female friend. Sheesh, I even have an 8" boner, so that whole myth thing doesn't even have merit.

I think that maybe your just sensitive to it, and pick it out more. I always notice the following: black males on TV that are in a interracial relationship are often sport stars or celebrities. black women on TV in interracial relationships are often smart businesswomen, or have some other type of profession that is a high income job. the area where I live, there are actually more black women in interracial relationships, but I live near a military base, so i guess that is why.

You know what- If I were an alien, I'd throw up and then go back to my planet where every alien was green and boring. I'd tell them that humans come in so many colors, and they are beautiful, but all they do is whine. Let me give you the history of a black man First off, I don't blame white women for loving black men. Black men are the sh**. Period. Don't get me wrong, I see alot of sexy white, japanese, Indian mexican, afoopoolupians (joke) all the time but a black man love is too deep its too strong its too big it won't fit black men have swag, a natural rhythym, the sun glows on their skin especially a dark skinned man, who like chocholate hmmmm,mmmmm. caramel, even beige ones with pink cushion lips Can't nobody deny it, its so obvious that certain forces felt the need to go all the way to another continent because they heard that sexy chocholate was melting the planet, by building kingdom, pyramids and kicking ass in agriculture Thats why everybody wants a strong, black buck. One with good hair, good teeth, and strong hands and a willingness to work The problem is alot of black men still don't know who they are and they still think they are bucks So they just giving up the goodies and breeding the whole planet into a black nation Thank you my white sisters for your eggs and your support ( you will get your 40 acres and a mule as well) No pun intended its not that they don't love black women its that black relationships have been divided for so long, black men were always being ripped away from their wives and children I am a black female who has never dated outside of my race not that I don't want to, but every black man has got to really piss me off or vanish in thin air before I jump on a pink willy HA! HA! HA! I'm starting trouble huh? anyway I have nothing against a man from another race I simply don't know anything else besides a black man, I have been in the air force, and around the world surrounded by powerful white men. They flirt with me all the time, So do the mexicans, I flirt right back then I take my butt right home to my big,6'2, big lipped, wide nose, big foot, dread lock wearing, big hands, john coffey from the green mile lookin, driving me crazy, sexy teddy bear and I feel right at home and I am right at home

TV is a controlled media output which portrays what the people who pay for the airtime want it to show. It is a very bad indicator of normal life and usually is a mixture of the most shocking real life situation with a huge exaggeration factor put in to keep people's attention. I have friends and family who are black women who date and are married to white men. It may be more practical to focus on people having fruitful and happy relationships than to focus on their color.

Well I see them all the time. Very common where I'm from. But quite frankly, what does it matter? If people love each other, let them.

Firstly, in my professional opinion: You need to live your life. The "TV" part of your question is EXTREMELY unhealthy! Not only is it slightly biased by an obvious bitterness, you need to know that you're beautiful, and if you want to judge love and relationships of semi-fake people then you are ripping yourself off of a beautiful future. If you want to feel better about this, set up a long term study plan. The plan should consist of inspecting relationships of A. What makes them strong, B. What made them start, And C. How these 2 things are completely irrelevant to skin color. I'd go for 1-300 to really get a good grasp. By doing this, I can 100% guarantee you that not only will you feel better, but you will be immune to this crap about race. And, you will learn about the human psyche in the process. And if you want to be even more informed and knowledgable, I'd set your number to 6,791,491,815 people, which is currently the us census bureau's approximation for the human population. Which is what you will need to learn about if you are going to try to see information on "skin color." Hopefully you are getting my drift, and I hope you open your eyes to the beauty of humanity.

This question is real and rather people want to accept it or not, alot of individuals feel this way. Yes, both blacks and whites. There is nothing wrong with interracial dating but you must be willing to DEAL with the problems that come with it. Society has not changed. People still hate it. Also, if a black man or anyone else is going to date outside their race, let your motive be PURE. Let it be because you love the person. Not because they will do anything, you can mistreat & use them, pimp them or they have money. Regardless of race, NO ONE wants to be mistreated. So feel free to go ahead and date outside of your race but please make sure you are secure with yourself and prepared for the problems that come with it for you and your children. God bless.

i saw this question and i just had to comment, i am a white polish woman, and i have soooo many friends who are black as well as white and really all races. i kno 3 couples that are black women with white men, and 2 of the other way around. the only i noticed about these relationships is that their interests are mutual. my black girl friends started dating my white guy friends because they play the same video games or listen to the same music, its got nothing to do with their race in their eyes, they dont even see it they just see someone they can share their likes and experiences with, that person happens to be white, or the other way around. as long as the love is there, the relationships are beautiful! and i dont kno where you are from but here in chicago, there are plenty of black women dating white guys, i avoid watching tv, the media is so corrupt, just walk around the city and see real couples.

Your right in terms of it being all over TV, and a some of it is probably politicially motivated - i remember reading about a black actor complaining that his part was having a relationship with a white woman - and why couldn't he have a black girlfriend... However, there is a definite trend in Society towards interracial relationships and TV is reflecting this. It is also statistically more common for a White Woman to be with a Black man then the other way around, which is also why you see that arrangement more on TV. I am white, i had a black girlfriend a few years ago, and she was great. i ended up marrying a white woman though. I have also dated Asian girls before too, ultimately it is the person behind the skin tone that is most important, the differences in skin, eyes, hair etc, whilst interesting and fun, are secondary.
