I am with Nyanna here. GS, I think that is a ridiculous statement you are making there.

I grew up in an all white neighborhood, white upper middle class. No black people. I was bused into a school that was probably half of each with a very occasional Mexican or Asian.

The neighborhood doesn't make a bit of difference. Then by the time I made it to middle school there was probably 2/3 black kids, 1/3 white. By the time I made it to high school, there were three white students in the whole school.

So who do I have anything in common with? I am a white woman. Aged 38. All white neighborhood in which I was the only child.

No one? Everyone? Who?

I'm telling you it's not true. In my childhood I grew up in a predominantly black environment and there are white classmates that I have similar interests with(both male and female). I also share a lot of interests with Arabic people as well

But this may be true....

I agree with you. I think what he is saying is silly. Maybe he wants all the black women to himself

You're a somewhat unique case then, but that really shouldn't matter. If you're into white guys, then date white guys as no one elses observations/thoughts on the topic should affect your dating preferences.

Bicoastal is right. The black girls who grew up in middle/upper class neighborhoods tend to go for white guys. the inner city (I'll use Newark, NJ as an example) black girls, most of them won't give a white guy a second look no matter what his social status. There is also more pressure on black girls to keep it in their race than it is for the guys, the church being an example of this. Like most religions or old-school values, they hold the woman responsible yet the man is off the hook for the same behavior.

I grew up in a middle class area. I really have nothing in common with someone who grew up in Newark. But that's really more of a class issue than a race issue. I got friends who grew up there and their upbringing was a lot different than mine; that doesn't mean things won't work out though.
