I don't think you can mix all white men into the same category. Some may think it is ok, while others do not.

I think this definitely plays a role in the low IR rates between black women and non black men. What are your thoughts?
If having darker children was a significant deterrent (for non-blacks) from entering into IR relationships, than IR rates for black men with non-black women would be just as low, but as you know, IR rates between black men and non-black women are much higher than vice versa, so the fear of darker children isn't the reason why non-black men shy away from black women.

Non-black men shy away from black women for the same reasons that many black men, who only date IR, shy away from black women.

There's no need to get into what those reasons are; we all know those reasons have been repeated over and over and over.

What are those reasons? I got a vague mental image of a loud black woman shouting "Yo mama!" but I don't know if that's what you mean...

Actually, I'm the exception, in that, I would be a good husband and father; I also run a successful business and have no criminal record. As far as the rest of your post, I agree with it.

Ok everyone, have at it: http://www.isteve.com/IsLoveColorblind.htm




"Although the bitterness that some black women feel over intermarriage is well known, the imbalance rests even more heavily on Asian-American men. For every 1,000 Asian women with husbands, only 860 Asian men had wives, leaving a large number of Asian bachelors left over."

"Like most guys, Asian-American men are fairly reticent about admitting any frustrations in the mating game. But the news for them was even worse. Asian women had white husbands 3.08 times more often than Asian men had white wives. That means 75 percent of white-Asian couples featured a white husband and Asian wife.
"

"Also, among whites, interracial marriage hasn't impacted one gender much more than the other. Although white women hunting for husbands, for example, suffer more competition from Asian women, they also enjoy increased chances to acquire a black mate. Thus, among non-Hispanic whites, for every 1,000 white women who are married, 1,006 white men are married. On a national level, this imbalance is close to imperceptible."

You, too, need to not make blanket statements about black men. Ironic that you chastised someone else for doing the same about black women.

There is something the media isn't telling us about single black women.

They need to I depth,and I think that what we would find is that of that 70% number that gets thrown around,about 50% are in commtited relationships,that are heterosexual.

"This Also helps to explain the data in which you pointed out that in their most recent sexual experience, White women were about 10 times more likely to have been with a Black man then a White man was with a Black woman. Although I know of no data to support this, I imagine that Asian male- Black female one night stands are quite rare

Personality differences among the races may also contribute to the intermarriage discrepancies. Blacks tend to have more outgoing and aggressive personalities, while Asians tend to be more shy and reserved, with Whites intermediate between the two.

What do you mean? Tell you what?

And why wait for the media to tell you issues about black women when all you have to do is ask a black man who will give you a candid and unbiased answer.
