Interracial dating for a black woman in ATL? (White: neighborhood, luxury)

[xenourtv]

I like Atlanta, it is so progressive compared to other cities but what the poster above me said about the interracial scene in Atlanta is spot on. There really is no selection when it comes to who you can date. I heard the interracial scene was great in the late 90's but now it is dead. While I lived there I rarely saw interracial couples ITP and OTP. Also for some odd reason as what the poster stated at times I just did not feel comfortable asking a women outside of my race for a date because I just knew it probably would have not worked out due to a number of factors. It is kind of ironic that you can go to a place where it is not as progressive like Atlanta, yet you have a better opportunity of dating women outside your race due to more selection and it is surprisingly accepted, like a state like Iowa, or a city like Chicago, and places out in the west coast and feel comfortable with it.

Atlanta is a good place to be in still especially if your a young black male though. However, if you are interested in dating women of other ethnicities, and to find one that have similar interests and to be compatible as yourself, it is going to be hard, but not impossible.

Dating outside of ones race is a mistake. There are enough people inside the different races to make oneself more comfortable. There are beautiful good souls in all races. Don't waste your time. There's no way my children will date outside of their race.

That is a real good one. Exactly how do you control who your children will fall in love with??

I agree thanks for the backing ! Because it was pretty tough for me I met no one I was interested in for 3 years after my last breakup ! I am happy now though since I moved to The west it is all great there not running here !

To Arish: You can think what you choose but if you"understood" Why should I subject my family to a hard life. If you marry within your own culture, race etc. it's much easier. With all the problems people have to go through on earth why bring more problems into your life. Just read how some people have posted. This is the real world we live and function in not a fantasy world. This is not an offense against anyone. Even though it's 2008 the majority of the world is not ready for your perception. Sorry but that's the way I see it. I take no offense from what you said to me.

You take an active role in their upbringing and make sure that they do not associate themselves with people that you do not approve of.

It's called parenting, a lost art.

Well, I don't approve of White Trash either so that makes two of us ! There are so many children that are bi racial and happy so I am guessing alot of people don't agree with you.

I sort of understand your point, but it all comes down to just how ignorant people are and that is black or white. But if you love someone you love someone if you are attracted you are attracted that is how I see it. I am not going to miss out on a great person because the world doesn't want to see me with her. I feel that you are limiting your self when you stick with one group. I have had just as many problems out of Black people as whites so that is why I don't really choose one side. If I see I Mexican that I think is hot or a white or Asian I am going for it that is just me. I have found alot of Afro American women that I found attractive but their values are different from mine. I know someone that has a son that they can't see because the parents are ignorant.. so I kinda understand what you mean by these issues. But the truth is people make it a problem when it really shouldn't be and I think that is the biggest problem of all. It all comes down to education and being excepting to others and relocating somewhere where it isn't an issue. If you stay in the wrong place ? Yes it can be a huge issue.. so much so it can be really uncomfortable. That is why I left the south because down there it really is a huge issue so much so it can effect everything you do. And when you got people like the "Poster" above ? Yes it is an issue so much so it can drive you to think ignorant like him and that isn't me.

everybody is different was some do dont equal a whole race of people, and you taking this black thing too far this is probably prevelant in the africanamerican community not any other foreign black communities in the states and what i said above i was speaking o american black women.

why is it that black women want a 2pac/jim jones with a degree? lol.
i see lots of american black couples together happy with kids etc. why some of these black dudes wont commit? who knows, its the other side of the fence as well
