HIKORO: "Interesting topic. Too bad I came in late.
Now, neither I was born nor raised in America but I do live here. Thus, the following comments stem from my own biases and perceptions.
First of all, it is not only black women who are being affected by this dating gap, Asian men are also being affected.
African-American men just like Asian women are more likely to date outside of their race which leaves African-American women and Asian men in this 'dating limbo'. In my personal opinion, the African-American women dating concern has to do a lot with self-hatred stemming from the colonial mentality that many people and societies still harbor on this day, and also, stereotypes regarding masculinity and femininity."

Hey you! I completely agree. I think Asian women have the highest percentage of dating outside of their ethnicity and then Black men come in at a close second. You hit the nail on the head.

natural25 "Do your research and then maybe you will gain a greater perspective as to why race plays a role in this topic. I ask that you not just base your opinion on a WORLD issue off you, your peers and your direct experiences. Educate yourself on this topic, and then we can have a real discussion about this."

Hmm...what makes you think I am not educated? I only replied to what was said about black men and their actions...thinking this had something to do with me I responded but forgive me for voicing my opinion 😢

Big - Please do not get me wrong. I do not think you are uneducated. I do not know anything about you. Lol. I suggested that you do some research research on the TOPIC that we are discussing. Clearly, I was not speaking in general terms. I was speaking in terms of the topic. I am glad that you gave your feedback! You should definitely voice your opnion!!! Dont be silly! 🙂

Be simpler stop looking for a relationship and one will fall right into your lap.Maybe a nice tall hunka hunka chocolate love. 😉 (just saying cause you seem to have a man 🙂 so yay you)
On another note.why are people still breaking people up into color? Its like when black and white come together someone says something and brings it up. People like people not color. 🙂



I remember you was dating a chocolate lover LOL!! You told me when i first came here.

Grrr... I'm a little late for this but oh well. I caught PP's black guys with bigger white girls comment (dude! What a way with words you have blondie LOL).

It's like that here too. I'm near the Kansas City area. The thing that really puzzles me it that *most* of the time the female is very unkept looking. Usually greasy hair and sloppily dressed and the male is usually a lot more flashy/clean then the female. They usually have about 4-5 kids hanging out of the shopping cart too.
And as for physical appearence the men are what would be considered alot more attractive then the woman. I always think to myself that the guy could probably do a little better then who they are with expecially when the women look strung out/drugged out/white trash. I just don't get it.

Natural, I haven't read through this yet ... responding from OP ..



A while ago, a thread was started by a black woman, and the subject matter was addressing black women, and how they are percieved as promiscuious. During this discussion, information came out that sexually, black women don't like to give men oral sex, generally speaking, of course.

By the end of the discussion, it became quite apparant to me that the reason why black men want women of other races (sexually speaking) is because they want a woman who LIKES to go down and dirty.

Psychologically speaking, women who are conditioned at birth to carry a label of slutty .... will develop behavioural characteristics to coincide with the programming. So, if a black man wants a woman who is demure and innocent in her mannerisms as she presents herself (not talking about behind the bedroom door) .. then he won't look at a black woman, basing this on pure reputation, as this reputation has been programmed in him to believe.

well around here, i always see black guys with white girls. Not just any white girl, but a fat and ugly one lol. I guess they are into the beached whale look? I dont know LOL.




Here as well.


Rarely, in all of my 50 years, have I seen a black man with a "pretty" white woman. They all pretty much come with huge fat assess, dog looking faces and bleach blonde hair.

Why?

And often times the man is quite good loooking ... still, he wants the ugliest woman in the pack. I've been told by men (not race specific) several times over the years that men like ugly, fat women because she will be loyal to him, she won't cheat on him.


Is this the reason? And does that coincide with the black woman being labelled as sluts?

Men are indeed very territorial, if he fears that his woman will fuck around merely because she loves to fuck (how black women are percieved) ... then it sounds logical to me that he will choose white woman (who loves to suck cock) that is fat and ugly (because nobody else would want her and so she would cling, faithfully to the man who does).

And this could go back to pshychological conditioning stemming from slave days ......




A guy knows that if he wants to fuck, go black and she'll indeed fuck without any thought beyond the nut. How sad is that? I was appalled when this notion was suggested in that thread, but, then black people came in to verfity it's validity.



What?



White women love to suck cock ... LOVE TO SUCK HER MAN OFF .......... black women don't.

It's that simple ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I know for a fact that some men do this... and a few women will choose an ugly man because they feel like he'll be grateful to have her, and therefore won't cheat...





Right ... so, when I loop this around to the label black women have of being whores, it becomes obvious why black men don't want black women.

The black man then has an insecurity instilled in his programming to suggest to him that he will lose his territory (if he has black woman because she will fuck around) .. so, this leads him to desire a woman who isn't black and ugly because she will remain loyal to him.

Again ... this insecurity of losing his property might stem back to several hundred years ago.

Also ... black women fucking for benefit might stem from there as well.

In this discussion, Dyr .. it was also said that, generally speaking of course, black women don't like to get eaten.

A lot of white guys don't like to eat a woman out .... so, perhaps, this may have something to do with it. I would imagine that if a guy doesn't wnat to eat pussy, ever, and if he isn't gay, then he is going to have to be with a woman who doesn't like it .... because there's no way he could survive in a relatinship if his woman liked to get eaten .... no way, she would demand it, or toss him aside.

Let me make sure that I understand you correcrtly before I respond to what I think you are saying. Are you saying that THE reason that Black men date outside of their race is b/c Black women are promiscuous and "will indeed fuck without any thought beyond the nut" which then makes the Black man feel as though he cannot trust Black women. Yet, she will not perform oral sex? And all of of this was proved to be fact via a discussion that you and other members on the forum had several years back.

Please correct me if I misunderstood what you are saying.

You haven't misunderstood what I am saying. You have though led yourself to believe though, that what I've said here as it was interpretated by me from a discussion of multiple people as being fact.

If you are looking for facts, then why ask for opinions on a forum?

FLEO:??This is why some black men complain about our attitudes -- instead of trying to work with us to get to the bottom of why she's showing him attitude, and then perhaps working on himself b/c likely, the attitude is resultant of something he did??

Agreed! This is the issue at hand IN ADDITON TO deeply ingrained self-hatred. It is not about Black men thinking Black women are promiscuous. True there are some Black women who are loosey goosey, as there are women who are promiscuous within every ethnicity. I think the average Black man with common sense realizes this. The so-called high prevalence of promiscuity in Black women is not the premise behind who they date. Like FLeo said, more times than not, a Black woman will question a man??s motivation BEFORE she gets down and dirty with him and that is what they don't like. Lol.

FLEO: —Okay, another twisted piece of information -- IF HE'S HER MAN, a sistah will sing on that mike if it's clean. But for a casual person who just wants to hit that, no, she may not want to suck him off.??

True that! I do not know one Black woman who will not please her man if she is in a committed and trusting relationship. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule. Of course, some Black women do not like to give oral sex. However, this is not THE rule. Believe you me??_.this is far from the rule! Lol.

It is a perception, everything is.


I went back to look for this thread, and found it .. it was started by Starfish and she also closed it down, when she closed it, I don't know ... maybe just today since she doesn't like me because she thinks I'm racist, and has mentioned her thread where she verifies what I've said here.

In any event .. at the time, several black men, and many black women came to that thread to post thier opinions on the topic .. and I was quite astounded when I heard testimony at the amount of black females who dont' participate in oral sex, to give or recieve ... seriously, I thought all women liked to get eaten out.

Dyr: "If y'all are watching Big Brother this season, you saw Chima (a strong, confident, black woman with lots of attitude - and a big mouth!) get expelled from the Big Brother House -- a very uncommon thing! -- because she would not kow-tow to the men, the show's rules, or just about anything else on the show...

expelled from the Big Brother House -- a very uncommon thing! -- because she would not kow-tow to the men, the show's rules, or just about anything else on the show...

Folks who don't have much experience with blacks would think her behavior was the rule rather than the exception, and that's unforunate. I've found black women to be strong, kind, considerate, loving, sexy, and yet classy -- all at the same time. Yeah, you piss her off, and she's gonna get in your face! But, in my experience, a guy really has to be a jerk to make her that mad..."

Yes, I watch Big Brother. Chima has some other issues with her rape that contributed to her behavior, I feel. However, I do agree with this sentiment. Lol.

PA: "You haven't misunderstood what I am saying. You have though led yourself to believe though, that what I've said here as it was interpretated by me from a discussion of multiple people as being fact."

These types of malicious stereotypes are ridiculous! This is why I do not get caught up in the "White women are easy" type of stereotypes, because they are equally as ludicrous and absurd. Not to mention flat out ignorant.

I have stated earlier that I am doing my graduate thesis on this very topic...well something very closely related. I assure you PA, this is not the issue. Yes, this is a stereotype. A VERY old and ignorant stereotype. I have to give Black men more credit than to attribute them dating women who are not Black to them thinking that Black women are promiscuous and do not like to go downtown. Anyone who would even use this as logical justification is as ignorant as the slave owners who started it.

It makes no sense!!

"It is not about Black men thinking Black women are promiscuous."


It's not?


If you know what it is not .. then it means you know what it is.



So, what is the reason, then?




I am at work and don't have the time to go into this topic in as much detail as it deserves b/c I have to be in a meeting in 10 minutes. So, for now, I will give the quick and dirty answer. The answer has been lightly touched on at the begining of this thread. It has to do with the self-hatred that has been ingrained within both Black men and Black women. Yes, it does go back to slavery and is still is apparent today.

I have to go into a meeting then I will get into this a little deeper. But for now I will leave you with this. At the beginning of the school year last year, I provided a few of my Black "at-risk" students with this and we had a discussion around this topic. It is the Willie Lynch letter. Some have argued the letters authenticity not get into that debate. Honestly, I do not know if the letter is real or a fake. What is significant about the letter is that it is most certainly an accurate reflection of what slavery did to the Black community and how it continues to manifest itself in 2009.

Willie Lynch Letter

I thought this was the most appropriate time for ALL OF US to re-read, remember and NEVER FORGET, the speech given by Willie Lynch a slave owner who over 300 years ago devised a plan to help keep Black people divided...

Gentlemen:
I greet you here on the bank of the James River in the year of our lord, one thousand seven hundred and twelve. First , I shall thank you, the gentlemen of the of the colony of Virginia, for bringing me here. I am here to help you solve some of your problems with slaves. Your invitation reached me in my modest plantation in the West Indies where I have experimented with some of the newest and still the oldest method for control of slaves. Ancient Rome would envy us if my program is implemented. As our boat sailed south on the James River, named for our illustrious KING JAMES, whose BIBLE we CHERISH, I saw enough to know that our problem is not unique. While Rome used cords or wood as crosses for standing human bodies along the old highways in great numbers, you are here using the tree and the rope on occasion.
I caught the whiff of a dead slave hanging from a tree a couple of miles back. You are losing valuable stock by hangings, you are having uprisings, slaves are running away, your crops are sometimes left in the fields too long for maximum profit, you suffer occasional fires, your animals are killed, Gentleman,...You know what your problems are; I do not need to elaborate. I am not here to enumerate your problems, I am here to introduce you to a method of solving them.

In my bag, I have a fool proof method for controlling your slaves. I guarantee everyone of you that if installed it will control the slaves for at least three hundred years. My method is simple, any member of your family or any OVERSEER can use it.
I have outlined a number of differences among the slaves, and I take these differences and make them bigger. I use FEAR, DISTRUST, and ENVY for control purposes. These methods have worked on my modest plantation in the West Indies, and it will work throughout the SOUTH. Take this simple little list of differences and think about them. On the top of my list is "AGE" but it is only there because it starts with an "A"; The second is"COLOR" or shade; there is INTELLIGENCE, SIZE, SEX, SIZE OF PLANTATION, ATTITUDE of owner, whether the slaves live in the valley, on a hill, east or west, north, south, have fine or coarse hair, or is tall or short. Now that you have a list of differences, I shall give you an outline of action- but before that, I shall assure you that DISTRUST IS STRONGER THAN TRUST, AND ENVY IS STRONGER THAN ADULATION, RESPECT OR ADMIRATION.
The black slave, after receiving this indoctrination, shall carry on and will become self-refueling and self-generating for hundreds of years, maybe thousands.

Don't forget you must pitch the old black VS. the young black males, and the young black male against the old black male. You must use the dark skinned slaves VS. the light skin slaves. You must use the female VS the male, and the male VS, the female. You must always have your servants and OVERSEERS distrust all blacks, but it is necessary that your slaves trust and depend on us.
Gentlemen, these kits are your keys to control, use them. Never miss an opportunity. My plan is guaranteed, and the good thing about this plan is that if used intensely for one year the slave will remain perpetually distrustful.

It makes sense to me .. just fucked up sense.

I agree that it's fucked up Natural .. and this is the reason why I started screaming in that thread, asking what the fuck was the matter with people. You may not want to accept this, but, there are people like this .... they do feel this way, no matter how crazy it may sound.

So long as a man's first and foremost priority in life is to get a nut, preferrably inside of someone breathing ... this will remain the case .. a man is territorial, and looking for his own personal whore who will be loyal to him ....

.. hello fat, ugly white woman (who because of media's brainwashing about HAVING to be beautiful to have any kind of value, has none except to the man who will take her)

natural: It has to do with the self-hatred that has been ingrained within both Black men and Black women. Yes, it does go back to slavery and is still is apparent today.

I agree that slavery left marks on the black psyche -- just as the Trail Of Tears and other injustices done to Native Americans did damage that is still with them today, too.

But... all of the issues facing blacks today can't be laid entirely at the feet of whites who've been dead for over 100 years...

The question for both groups: How do you overcome those adversities? Gansta Rap??



I am not saying that slavery is the SOLE reason for the condition of the Black community but it does contribute a great deal to it. In previous posts in this thread, I have stated that Black men and women sometimes help to confirm and perpetuate these derogatory images that slavery has created and mainstream White America continues project today. I am not suggesting that Blacks are compeltely innocent. Nor, am I on here to blame the woes of the Black community on "the man." However, I do feel that slavery is an intregal part and must be looked at in order to have an objective conversation about this issue.

DYR: Re: the Willie Lynch letter

Again, I am not going to debate the authenticity of this letter, because I do not know if the letter is real or fake. That is not the point. That was not the point in me showing it to my male students last year. The point is that this letter is an accurate account (real or fake) of the lasting impact that slavery HAS had over the black community to this day. Trust me as Black women when I say, this IS IN FACT the effect that slavery has had in the Black community, specifically to Black men, today. I do not care if a slave owner wrote it, Fredrick Douglas wrote it or Shaq wrote it. It is still true with regards to the type of effects that slavery has played in terms of the break down in the Black community.

The absent father. The father leaving his family. The father making babies and leaving them with the mother to raise them by them slaves. The Black man leaving the responsibility of being mother, father, sister, brother, community leader, activist, preacher, pastor, etc on the Black woman. The letter centers around the notion of breaking down the Black man to then delegate all of the responsibilities to the Black woman. This in fact IS what has happened. You even made a comment about when you go into Wal Mart, and you think to yourself, where are all of the Black men? Yes, where are they? Why are they absent?

I am not concerned with WHO wrote the letter or WHEN it was written. I am more concerned with, and saddened by, the fact that the result is so true and still is true in (many cases, not all, but many cases) 2009.

I knew this thread would get out of hand....I have never heard any of these myths about black woman....

I do admit it bothers me to see a brother with a white girl and thats just real...maybe its just the issue of dating outside our race..i'm just not for it

I think brothers choose the white girl because they are so submissive which is a negative to me

that mean she's dealing with anything he dishes out....i would rather for her to put up with it then me

As the English say: "The proof of the pudding is in the eating."

Black women are much more likely to remain single than white women...

Is it entirely the fault of black men??



no its not at all....black woman can be too picky...they can talk to much....i have seen some woman put their man (if they do have one) down entirely, low rate black men....they want to be the man and the woman in the relationship...

some of that comes from past relationships or part of their upbringing...


thats why i think with any race if you are having relationship problems...you need to check yourself

So much emphasis is put on the black men, while black women are considered victims. That upsets me.



I am nobody's victim, and I definitely do not denigrate or berate others in an effort to make myself look/feel better. Sadly, this whole race debate will be here when we are all dead and gone. I chose not to put any effort or energy in matters that I have NO control over. What I do control is my life...with that said, I do what I feel like doing with whom I feel like doing it. I achieve success not for anybody else, but for myself, and I strive to be a better person everyday, and rest assured I am far from perfect!

And I also agree with you Ms.P that I've lived on the East Coast and West Coast, and I have seen beautiful/successful/affulent people with other beautiful/successful afflunet people too - some of mixed races, same races, and everything in between.

This is a MUCH shorter way of expressing the point I was trying to get across a few pages ago in this thread. I also was born on the east coast and now live on the west coast so I'm not tunnel visioned by the "Orange Curtain".

Don't get me wrong. I'm not in denial of the social issue but at somewhere down the line, you get to a point where you let the social bias define you... or you define yourself. Your choice.



(Now for a REAL ISSUE. If I could ONLY get USCGal to stop following the DAMN BRONCO'S . CLEARLY a worthwhile issue worth addressing. Sorry, I'll stop trying to hijack the thread )

Well this topic doesn't do anything for me...any longer.

My "competition" consists of not only white women but, latina women, asians, and my own race as well...

*Lil Wayne blasts through the stereo..."I like a long-haired thick red-bone..." *

Not I said the cat.



I can't get upset at things I can't change. I have a preference for tall men, so I just equate the two.
The berating comments was what I really hated about the black men dating non-black women "phenomena".
You can date whoever you want; you just don't have to talk trash in the process.

I have dated and have had interest in all colors of the rainbow.

I do admit it bothers me to see a brother with a white girl and thats just real...maybe its just the issue of dating outside our race..i'm just not for it

I think brothers choose the white girl because they are so submissive which is a negative to me

that mean she's dealing with anything he dishes out....i would rather for her to put up with it then me







This thread doesn't appear to be out of hand to me in any way.

Question .. you said it bothers you to see a black man dating a white woman .. does it only bother you when she's white? What if she's asian or bedouin?

I have to add something here and if it pisses people off ... sobeit .. it's what I'm seeing and going to comment on.



It appears to me that white people are perfectly fine with interracial dealings of the varying kinds of relationships that we have with black people, there doesn't appear to be any holding on to the stigma ....... white people really have no qualms if a black person becomes apart of our families.


It appears to be a big issue the other way around .......

PA: "It appears to me that white people are perfectly fine with interracial dealings of the varying kinds of relationships that we have with black people, there doesn't appear to be any holding on to the stigma ....... white people really have no qualms if a black person becomes apart of our families."

The issue at least among Black women is that many times Black men feel that they have to "publically bad mouth" Black women in order to justify who they are dating. Which perpetuates the very ignorant types of stereotypes that you refered to earlier in the thread. Futhermore, Black men DO NOT have to justfy why they date who they date. All a man has to say (if questioned) is hey, I am with who I like. Instead, I have heard things such as; I do not date Black girls because I want a women whose hair stays straight or wavy when it gets wet. Or, I do not like the smell of a pressing comb (what many Black women use to straighten their hair). Or, the classic, Black women have attitudes. When I have heard these types of comments, yes, it gets under my skin. Sooner or later it not only makes a person resentful towards the person who is spouting and spreading the ridiculous ideologies and myths, but for somem, it can also make them grow to resent the entire issue (black men dating outside their ethnicity)

Personally speaking, when I have spoken with some of my female friends (going back to the original topic) many of them are very worried about if they will get married and start a family. As I have previously stated. They are all single. SOme of them are in their late 20's and some in their early 30's. The numbers are simply not in a Black women's favor. Dyr posted an article to this fact. First, there are fewer Black men than there are (lets say) White men. Black men have the hightest percentage of incarciration and unemployment. Black men also contribute to the hightest percentage of homicidal activity. Black women outnumber Black men who go to college. 3 to 1... 5 to 1 (actually graduating from college). So, when you take what is left..when there is already fewer Black men to begin with...it becomes to look challenging.

Also, most other ethnicity/cultures (i.e. Asian, Latino, Native America, Jewish, Middle Eastern) teach there men to marry a women who shares their ethnicity/culture/religion. Whether this be taught verbally or simply through action. Similarly, you see this with White men as well. Even if a parent does not flat out say, date someone from your own race, children immolate (in most cases) what they grow up around when they become adults. I am not saying that parents teach their children to be racist. I am simply suggesting that typically we do what we are raised around. I am also not suggesting that they are no non-Black men who DATE/MARRY (not just find attractive) Black women. Sure there are. But not enough to make a dent in that 70% (the stat of Black women who are single). I have stated this earlier in the thread. Black women are programmed the same way??_.stand by and wait for your good Black man.

So, here we are. So, when you look at various issues that White women or men do not have to consider when formulating an opinion about interracial dating, you can see where it is a little different and how it might be a little more challenging for a —sistah?? to be gun ho about the situation. If these factors (amongst many others) were not issues that Black women had to contend with, perhaps, some would have a different outlook on it.
