Blacks and women have been discriminated against on the job by white men. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

So, there may be somewhat of a natural alliance between black people and white women.
It's 2013, catch up with the rest of us. White men are no longer enslaving colored folks and women, so you can come out from under the bed now.

Wow, aren't we touchy. I wonder why?
I was just responding to a conversation that speculated why blacks did not seem to think white women were a threat to them. When they both have been oppressed by the same source, it makes sense to form some sort of alliance, however loose. You know, united we stand, divided we fall?

Things have certainly change, but they are still not perfect, but a lot better than in my mother's day.

Attach that desire to women who desire men they were once forbidden to be with, along with the attention they get for being with these men, and you have a very unique match. Furthermore, White women generally do not view their half-Black children as Black. They view them as biracial, separate from Black children born to two Black parents. Historically, the one-drop rule came into existence because the mixed children born at that time were of Black Slave women and White Slave owners. The child was to be the condition of the mother. That is why half-white kids were considered Black. Their status was that of their mother. And yes, at that time, White women were complicit in the oppression of these half-White children, even if these kids had White fathers.
You've introduced a very interesting theory.

No. Not one. You could be a green and orange spotted, half man half horse, gay alien and all my mom would care about is that you took your shoes off before walking on the carpet and that you brought a casserole.

I'm fortunate that way

Yeah, sure, White women have it so much better now that they have the privilige to leave their children for 40-60 hours a week and take part in this wonderful rat race 95% of men were already in.

Meanwhile, the family unit is falling apart, divorce is skyrocketing, and now many families eat fast food and other garbage multiple times a week because both parents are worn out from their dead end job and don't feel like cooking a family meal.

The most important job a woman will ever have is raising well-adjusted, healthy, happy children. This current system that has ripped mothers from their children has led to alienation and depression for a lot of our children.

Thanks feminists! Luckily my generation is waking up and accepting traditional families again.

It is much easier to just move to an expensive suburb, where the residents are homogenous and culturally similar.

Preferring to live in low-crime white neighborhoods with safe, high-performing schools is now "racist". I am a racist in contemporary terms, but commit no acts of violence against "minorities" and work 40 hours a week and relax in my "whitopia". Meanwhile, non-racists in our big cities murder, rob, and rape every day, yet the liberal media tells the people "racists" are a danger to society.

Thankfully, most of the gun owners in this country are racist and loyal to their European heritage. They need these guns to protect themselves from the "non-racist" hordes that will be looking for plunder to loot when the SNAP cards aren't magically refilled one month, as our national debt continues its rapid ascent.
You got that right. Absolutely sickening.

The next morning my aunt and uncle were giving me some very dark ugly looks. I asked them what's wrong. They said and I quote, "we saw you dancing with that negress". If they gave me dirty looks over that, I wonder how they'd feel knowing some of the women I dated? Their racism doesn't include hispanics especially since some of their ancestry is from Spain.
So do they tolerate Hispanics who don't have any Spanish ancestry?

You are so funny! You type women as all being the same, interchangeable mommie types, probably interchangeable not-so-willing sex partners and house cleaners, too.

There are lots of women who are stay at home moms now, they just have a choice these days, is all, but they have to marry a man who can support a family first. Now there also can be and are stay at home dads.

Not every woman is evidently what you envision is the 'perfect' woman and I venture that most would not want to be.

I can't believe that people still think this way. I am envisioning a very old man, but maybe not.

By sheer number yes, but Whites are underrepresented in various welfare spending; where-as, blacks are grossly overrepresented. Same thing with murder, violent crime, etc rates.
