In general which means both. Interracial relationships and marriage are higher out West and in the South compared to the Northeast and Midwest.

Lots of black women do not view me as a black person.
I think it depends more on the person's environment.

The girl in the below video is African American and she doesn't appear to be ghetto. She seems very much like any other All American girl.

I have however noticed that the all American black girls usually date white guys. In the video below, she states that her preference is blue eyed Caucasian guys. It really does seem to be all about the person's environment and not the skin color. When blacks grow up in an All American middle/upper income area, they are just like all of the other All American middle/upper income children, irrespective of skin color.

Very true as well. Environment is also key. If one was brought up and raised in a suburb and exposed to monoculture and a mostly white background. A good chance they would prefer white and nothing wrong with that. Also these folks share same culture and similar upbringing.

Exactly, that's why it's so important to include one's overall culture in these discussions. Every black person doesn't grow up in the inner city.

A black woman who is from the suburbs will more often than not be interested in dating interracial, whereas, black girls who are raised in the inner city, tend to be more drawn to dating the guys who are from a similar background.

" I have however noticed that all American black girls normally date white guys." That may be your observation based on experience, but I've found that many college educated all American black girls will choose to date a black male first, especially if they were in a black sorority while at college. Nothing inherently wrong with that I might add. In addiition, there are black males who are college educated and share similar values to the so described all American black girls.

As a coda to my other reply, I will concur that the chances of a white male dating a hood rat are akin to a black female dating an ignorant redneck. That much is logical.

This is not true. In NYC low income Blacks often don't live around poor whites, but there are certainly places where they do. And yes there are indeed white men who hook up with hood rats (low income white men) and there are black women with rednecks.

I've seen this across the South, upstate NYC, and parts of the West.

In the South I have seen a lot of rednecks marry black women, many blacks in the South are country as well. Inter racial dating is huge in the South especially around Atlanta and in Florida. I do not that much about NY and dating I have family in Brooklyn but they date only their same religion.

You're making major assumptions and stereotypes about Blacks. You are aware that you don't speak for all Blacks or all Black women.

Lastly there are segregated ghetto suburbs like Compton, CA, Mt. Vernon, NY, and Newark, NJ.

Or alternatively there are Blacks who grew up in neighborhoods that are mostly non Black and middle class and above in inner cities.

Inner city does not equal poor. Midtown East and the Upper East Side are inner city. But poor? No. Nor are they predominately Black.
