People usually have different views when it comes to interracial dating. I’m sure you too have your own. How does seeing people of the opposite race and opposite sex holding hands on the streets make you feel? Angry, happy, envious?
I was once having lunch with my truly black girls at a restaurant when a black woman and a white man walked on by. One of them went,“Let other people do it but personally, I cannot date a white man. White men date black women because they look down upon them. I’m not about to kiss some pink ass᾿ 
Yeah… I almost chocked on hearing those words.
According to studies carried out recently, black women are less likely to engage in interracial relationships as opposed to their male counterparts. John Tierney, the author of the survey concluded, “It’s not that white men are more reluctant to date non-whites, it’s that black women are less willing to date someone of another race.” Well the video below makes us see why.
Men are generally willing to date someone of another race, but women are more reluctant, especially African-American women. The researcher also found that women of different races generally agreed with one another in rating the various men’s attractiveness. However they were less willing to date a man of another race even when he was just as attractive as a man of their own race.
So, does this make interracial dating acceptance somewhat a gender issue? Will I be right to conclude as per this study that it’s not just black women who are reluctant to date interracially but all women in general? And if so, what factors influence this reluctance in women then?

@ocope by 2045 the white race will be in the minority. A fact. My friends sons and daughters are mixing it up and do not care what color the skin happens to be. They are focused on how someone treats them as a person. We all should be concerned about this and take notes. It is not skin color. A bad person is a bad person no matter what color they are.

I have dated black women and found them tobe sexy and well worth the time to get to know them. I have had some negative reactions from black men though. They thought it was demeaning for black women to be seem with a white man. I found most them changed their minds on that as they got to me as a person and not about color.
SMILE AND ENJOY OUR FELLOW SEXES

I have heard many black men and women (African Amer.) say that men of other races (generally white men) only want black women for sex. I think this has been engrained in black women and with the history of slavery and rape, women are definitely worried. No one wants to be used for any reason so many stay away because of that fear. Black women are used by black men too and I doubt it’s any less painful because he is black like them. How many black women are dumped by black men when they become pregnant or have a baby for them because he never truelly wanted her in the first place?
Everytime I hear that 70% of black children live in single parent households it breaks my heart because of the many struggles single parents face, starting with finances. I say black women should be open to men of all races (including back men) and find the one that is right for them. Not every non-black man will be good and not every black man will be bad, but if they give themselves more options, I believe black women would be pleasantly surprised. Some one who may look completely different from you could be the one person who is so perfect for you.

I prefer woman with an African (black) descent for what I consider obvious reasons. They are much more curvasious in shape and the variety of colors and textures is endless. I had always wanted to date black women and started doing so when I became single and I sensed the “plantation” attitude once in a while. I have a very good friendgirl not girlfriend who is black and it took a while for her black friends to accept me on a socializing level – both men and women. She and I started a party group about a year ago and we discovered that the interest between the genders of the white and black races was very genuine. Most people of different races don’t mix on a social or party level and when it does happen the results are cool. That’s one of the reasons why I like jazz and hitting the club scenes. Jazz does not have the time or patience for discrimination – only for the discriminating of taste and culture.
One last note; I have mentioned the physical appeal of black women but there is no one, and I mean no one that can say the word “Baby” like a woman with some African in her blood. Graywolf
