Is interractial dating the answer to the problems in black relationships?

[B_l_a_c_k M-i-nd]

I dont think Dating outside yoru race will solve problems of the world. Theres some people date outside of their race for many reasons... sex, money,love, etc..But Just because youre dating someone of another color doesnt mean things will get better because youre with this person

On top of the fact that people are just too lazy to look at what role they play in their own lives.

but this mindset all dates back to our histroy. Ultmately, a lot this mindset stims from that Slave Negro mentality. Despite, the Black Power Movement is the 60's and Early 70's, the House Negro mindset never went away and its unfortuate. It's really a shame that people can't simply date a person for thier interior instead of their exterior.

If I date outisde of my race I don't need an excuse. I'm not going to make one up. Nor is it a statement about the black race in general. It's purely about me choosing to date a guy who I have much in common with. Who *I* like.

As someone said, after the initial excitement phase of a relationship wears off then you better have things in common, similar views and ideals to fall back on. And this may not be the case if you're only dating a man 'cause he's black (or any other colour).

So I say pick someone you have these common traits with and don't worry about their colour. And there's no need to make excuses. You don't need one.

Race doesn't matter.... in the scheme of things, most women are evil. :D

...says the asexual black guy.

when I dated, I dated white women simply because black women didn't want me. Nothing more, nothing less. Some white women were willing to lower their standards and date me.... lol

That fact that people feel defensive about who they claim to love says plenty about the relationship already.

Yeah, I think it's trife, and a sellout to your own race. Most whites are not deserving of us. But That's me. If you REALLY love them, then there's no reason to launch a salvo of weak excuses to justify why you pledge allegiance to them.

me either Dblack we need to
stay with our own people i cant even stomic the thought of being with a white man we were forced to be with them back in slavery days now that we have a choice why even go there i love my fine black brothers

Because it's something they chose to do. And I have no say so in their marriages. Different strokes for different folks. Their all happy, I'm happy for them and I'm happy for myself.
