There are a lot of negative (and erroneous) stereotypes that persist in relation to Black women that are an obstacle to be sure but often times Black women are also not receptive to non-Black men romantically. Many great guys are passed over or not given an opportunity by Black women because of misconceptions about the motivations of non-BM in pursuing Black women.
I have noticed the same pattern. But I believe it will change, as black women and white men become better acquainted.
what type of job were you doing? fast food maybe? if you worked with professional black women, this would not be your experience. many of us do not fit the mold.
It is in a professional environment, health insurance to be exact. And I am not saying all black women fit that mold. I can name at least three in my office who most certainly do not fit that mold.......But I can name about seven that do. And I am not even saying that these differences are bad things. It just makes white men intimidated, or makes them not have interest.
Wow, I had no idea that you could just look at someone and determine their personality based in ethnicity. Why are the Chinese people bothering with uses the birth year symbols to determine personality traits, they must be crazy.

Who needs astrology? A person's skin color will tell us everything.
I don't understand having a problem with interracial dating in general, but I really don't understand not approving of whites and blacks getting together. I mean, it's not like there are that many cultural differences you can count on making things difficult in the relationship. Yes, one could stereotype whites and blacks in order to argue otherwise. But I'm a white guy who's dated black women. I'm now married to a Hispanic woman and let me tell you, there are far more cultural differences between Hispanic families and white families (typically). Same goes for whites getting with Asians. You are much more likely to encounter cultural differences. Yet I've never heard of this being frowned upon, though I'm sure it is to a certain degree. Now, obviously, I'm not saying whites shouldn't be getting with Hispanics or Asian Americans either. But we've all heard that blacks and whites getting together is so controversial, and I really don't see why. There are no two races that match one another better in terms of culture/values in the U.S. than white people and black people.
But I guess all this really shows is that Americans care more about looks than anything else. The amount of difference in skin pigmentation = all that counts.
The average 2nd generation+ American has way more in common than a 1st generation immigrant from any group......
Crossing class or religious lines is way harder than crossing "race."
Especially when you consider most americans share a religion and culture. It is pretty silly.

There is a much longer history of powerful men who go after Black women that they desire because they aren't concerned with appeasing anyone other than themselves. I find it to be quite telling that it is White men with more education and higher incomes who tend to marry Black women.
A list of famous and/or wealthy (mostly) White men with Black wives or girlfriends (present and past) or who have children with Black women
Barack Obama (President of the United States and the most powerful man in the WORLD) Vladimir Doronin (Russian billionaire) - dating Naomi Campbell Peter Norton (Norton Antivirus and billionaire) - black wife George Lucas (billionaire) - black wife Prince Maximillan of Liechtenstein (one of the wealthiest royal families in Europe has a black wife Princess Angela) Count Ferdinand of Austria (black wife) Baron Christian de Massy of Monaco (black wife) Viscount of Weymouth of England (black wife) Prince Albert of Monaco (has an acknowledged child with long time girlfriend who is African) Ronald Betts (billionaire) - black wife Jack McCain (son of Senator John McCain) - black wife Robert DeNiro - black wife Simon Cowell Jean Yves Cendrey - black wife David Bowie - black wife Mick Jagger Michael Fassbender Brad Pitt Johnny Depp Sean Penn George Clooney David Guetta -black wife

I've been married to a black woman for many years. My parents welcomed her like a daughter and my siblings like a sister. My mother was more concerned about her religion than her color. Her family was as good to me. Where I live we are treated just fine have friends of all races and most combos thereof, no looks, no stares and in all these years never a remark. Outside of this area, we have run into a few who stare, but it is very rare. It is just not that big a deal across most of America anymore and certainly not out west.
There are more mixed marriages than you imagine. There are several mixed black/white couples including BF/WM in our master planned community and many interracial kids in the school. You see them and the kids if you are in one more than if you are not, I think. It is like when you buy a new car and then notice how many of the same car are on the roads that you never noticed before.
I think that if it wasn't for family members & others in society's (possible) negative feelings, opinions & comments, that more white men would date/marry black women. But because white men don't want to look "bad" in the eyes of their parents, other relatives, maybe coworkers, & strangers in society, meaning being stared at, talked about behind their back, thought of in a different light, possibly have biracial children, etc., they tend to stay away & not date/marry black women.
Many parents today still are willing to disown their kids if they date/marry the "wrong" race person, which is a real shame! TONS & TONS of black men date/marry white women, so why not a lot more white male/black female relationships?
And please, no one say anything to cause this thread to be closed. (And please, no one think I'm trying to be racist...I'm a biracial person myself.)
No white men date whoever they want. It is that we do not WANT black woman. We want kids that look somewhat like us. You really think my white sister can date a black man but I cannot marry a black woman because I fear what my family thinks I do not want a black woman for a wife, she might want a black man for a husband.
Biracial, all you will be having is a black kid. If a white man marries a latina the kid often comes out still looking white or white enough to pass. Marry a black forget about it, when your daughter is 15 people will think you are either a pedophile or creepy old white guy who kidnapped a black kid.

I do not want a black woman for a wife, she might want a black man for a husband.
