It doesn't matter. The odds of exclusively seeking black men for long term relationships and marriage are no better.

But black women marry black men 90% of the time. There's no problem finding black men for LTR and Marriages because they're ending up with black women the vast majority of the time. It's not the same in BW/WM relationships because its rare

Yes, there most certainly IS a problem depending on what you're looking for in a partner/husband.

now like most caribbean bigots this is all just talk. If a Jamaican girl with proper attitude, and lifestyle approaches me then my parents will love her.

but overall my parents prefer me to talk to asians of all sorts, and white girls. My parents arent to fond of hispanic women as well.

A lot of caribbean people have arrogance towards eachother.

jamaicans vs haitians.
jamaicans vs trinis
jamaicans vs guyanese
guyanese vs trini
guyanese vs bajan
puerto rican vs dominican
dominican vs haitian
cuban vs dominican/puerto rican

and the list goes onnnnnn.

This is somewhat true. My parents are from Trinidad, and most of the trinidadians I know tend to try to date and marry one of their own, or somebody else from the caribbean(unless they're trying to get their papers) A lot of west indians have very negative things to say about black american women.

caribbean folks, and african folks love their darkskin girls, which is why i tend to see a good number of open black american females go the african/caribbean way lol.

As for me? the lighter the sweeter the juice
I have an huge issue with this..but I wont go into it

the Africans/Carribeans don't care about IR dating because they prefer mixed looking people anyway. I met an African guy who said that biracial people were more beautiful than darkskin black people..

I really don't care about what west indians have to say about black american women. there are not that many of them where i live and I am not interested in dating or getting to know them. I don't even know a west indian. they dont even exist to me

You're right, but it's the quality of BM for BW. Low quality BM are readily available for BW. It's the BM that have something going for themselves. They are a few and far between, and even those ones are either more physically attracted to non-BW, or want nothing to do with BW in general. The only type of BM that BW can get are of low quality type.

There lies the dilemma for BW. So, they are forced to venture out of their race to find love, except they are the least desired for interracial dating. The average BW won't be able to pull a well-to-do WM, unless she looks like Halle Berry.

I'm not concerned about "well-to-do" but the white/non-black men that I date at least have careers, college degrees, no children, and no criminal records and that's all I expect. You don't have to look like Halle Berry to find that.

That is nuts.

This is a wedding my cousin was in last month. Nice looking white guy, beautiful rich skinned black woman. She looks nothing like Halle Berry as far as I can tell.... I do think they are both a bit average, but beautiful/handsome in there own right.

You are just blowing smoke out of your azz. Low quality black men are available for whoever will take them, I am sure. High quality black men are with all races, from what I can tell. Same goes for white men and white women.
