Anyone can be gold diggers (regardless of race), especially women. I'm black and I'll make sure that I never fall victim of a gold digger or a childed woman.

I don't understand what is wrong with people today...black men white women...sheesh...people, we're people...period. What's the difference, if no one likes it, then don't look, it's none of anyone's business...it is shallow and quit primitive to belittle someone because of their race and because they are dating a black man, or a white man dating a black woman...look past the color people....we're all human beings...what is the issue? Sheeesh? Just doesn't make sense at all....
shallow, and mid evil....oh hey, why don't we burn em all at the stake?
sheesh?
It's a lack of education, ethics and moral upbringing...is what it is...who cares what color the skin is, it's their life...and no body elses business....

Not trying to step on any toes, but I don't get it. It sounds like you're using "African ancestors" to mean black. I've met plenty of white Africans; they do exist you know. Similarly, Hispanics can be a myriad of races. You seem pretty honed in on black, why? If I may ask. Do you mean black Americans they think have slept with too many women? Media might've helped that one out ...

Childed woman, LOL. I'm the same way, I don't want to date people with kids either. I suppose if I like them enough maybe but it's definitely not my preference either.

Childed can refer to people who has or already has children, and I find those kinds of people very unattractive. Now, like you, I live on the West Coast. I'm pretty there's a lot of mixed couples out here, I've seen it myself (whenever I was out the house).
And if you're childfree, stay away from childed people if you're looking for an intimate relationship.

I understood what it meant but I've never heard it phrased that way. Please know, that I will be wearing that phrase out now

More power to you, sister. I thought it was hard to find childfree people in their 20s. I'm a childfree black guy and I pretty much prefer to date interracially myself.

and you very well shouldn't stop speaking on it....I just wish, people wouldn't stereotype...and I don't think your ignorant or a gold digger...the 10 kids  well, that to is your choice...God bless ya...  I just wish we could all let things roll off our backs more...speaking out is a good thing...but there are people who will never change, and those are the people, we have to learn to shrug off and simply walk away from....
but lyou should never stop speaking out...
