There are stereotypes people have formed naturally from observing people for a long period of time … pattern recognition. For example, Asians are stereotyped as small, quiet and academic … Blacks: loud and violent…
Then there are those that are those fueled by media – like Hollywood, as a form of social engineering. White women are more nurturing … Asian women are submissive … Black women emasculate men. Black d***s … – fill in the blanks. There is always something being said about one race or the other.
To what extent do you think these racial stereotypes influence people’s dating behaviors? Do you think these stereotypes (especially those pushed by mainstream media) have played a major role in influencing interracial marriages by making them appear more attractive to some people?
Very interesting how the controllers of the media can always exclude their negativities and mask the evil portrayed on a daily bases.
99% of serial killers, rapists, paedophiles, fraudsters, players, backstabbers, etc portrayed on the media sources are white, and male. This contradicts all negative stereotypes about the black male. Black women are often shown as carers, even to white men and women. Is it therefore natural to assume that stereotypes are deflectors for those that rule the roost?
Do Black women who choose to date white men, factor the above stats into their intelligent choices, or is this habit/preference a more negative inference to her psyche?

I went on a search today to find like minded people to converse with. I’m shocked at what I’m reading here. Is it normal to find so much antagonism on this blog?

wow I would never have guessed that all these issues would actually come up in this forum when the opposite is suppose to happen. People usually fear what they dont understand, but if we limit our interaction to only what we do understand we will as a nation become stagnant, sometimes its good to walk in another shoe before we begin to label and sterotype.

Homesteader, Almost 2 months ago, you made the above post to me, I just noticed it today. That is how LITTLE I think about you! I didn’t realize I got under your skin that much that you feel it necessary to “prove” yourself to me.
On my walls you will find only pictures of my kids. That’s it. That is the only thing that matters to me are those kids, MY kids. You won’t see the numberous awards and certificates that I have earned over the years in shooting competitions, training classes and the like. Why? because they don’t mean that much to me. I tuck them away in a folder and save them in case I need to update my resume.
Yes Homesteader, I could care less about your awards or whatever you have in your house. Just the meer fact that you brag about them to me is showing your arrogance and air of superiority. Hell, Barack Obama has degrees from Harvard University and used to teach constitutional law, but I believe I would have no problem debating that very subject with him without so much as an associates degree.
Get a life? Get a life?? Again, remember I’m not the married guy who trolls the SINGLES WEBSITES!!!! Talk about GET A LIFE! You got a life and STILL waste it on a SINGLES WEBSITE!!!

Another article/blog title, posted to evoke only distractions instead of real dialogue.
I wonder if the August 2009 Blog Articles will contain more substance?
Not much to comment on….

These blogs on this website are making me seriously re-evaluate my openess towards cross ethnic dating in America. The mindset of people here is really scaring me. I think the racist poison in the American psyche is just too deep… and I mean Americans of all hues and ethnicities…I lose hope…
For people to be thinking and stating that stereotypes are true… wow…
I came to this site thinking that it would be an oasis of hope… I find just the opposite…

Miri2008 – keep in mind that website blogs are where people state their opinions about various topics. While some of the topics get heated and some of the post are hurtful, there’s still alot that can be learned.
I try to keep in mind, “you cant change years over night.” Ethnic stereotypes, hatred and racial poison has infected the American psyche for over 400 years and there’s no way that 40 years or less of IR dating well change that.
IMO IR dating is a hands on operation and websites only serve to introduce you to a potential date and after careful consideration, then you decide to take it a step further.
The blogs are just that, a blog! You take what has substance and leave the trash alone.
You can’t lose hope over what people post on IR blogs, besides you’d probally never date them in the first place.
The people on these blogs don’t speak for no one but themselves(myself included) so you cant write off IR dating in America because of a few people on this or other websites, IR dating so much more than these blogs and the people on them!
Miri as you know people can be mean and hurtful but you can’t let them rob you of what your heart desires, you have to fight for what you want in life and in love, so braid your hair, tape up your fist and get ready to rumble. LOL
It’s not about the blogs and the people on them, it’s about YOU and YOUR determination not to be discouraged by some of the people on them!
Hang tough!
Peace!

Glock ; Sorry it took this long to respond , My Awards got moved to one wall when I got married .
There are Hundreds of pictures of Our Family on the other walls in this house / We do not live in a small apartment as many others do . I Paid for Cash and Homesteaded this Property in October of 1981 .
I also feel that you are correct in your thinking , that if I repeated what I wrote Maybe you would understand after rereading . I am ” Proud of my accomplishments in Life .” Because I did believe what they taught me in Government schools . I was bringing this forth because of the derogatory statements that had been brought against me in past Blog Topic comments on April 23 2009 .
Yes and President Barack Obama with his Degrees in his Resume / Became the Commander in Chief of the United States of America and I am Proud of him . You Continue to openly show disrespect for his duly Earned position in your written word . I do knot think much of you and your shallow comments about someone , you do knot know .
There is a Debater in Decatur , Alabama / You may want to talk with .
miri2008 ; Stereotypes are signs of Limited Intelligence believed by those that desire to Believe them .
My Wife and I were Successful here at and to follow the Blog topic / We are an Interracial Couple , Who long ago set aside Stereotypes as Fiction in Our thoughts .

….Some of what miri2008 mentioned are my reasons for not visiting these blogs as much anymore. I’m sick of stereotypes. Some of the blogs I don’t comment on because they are either poorly written, or just flat out too biased (i.e. depicting white males a certain way or black women this or that)… or lack factual substance. Add to this, rambling posts, argumentative foolishness, and childlike behavior (attacking) has ran rapid on some of these blogs.
Stereotypes do nothing but divide humanity and stifle cross cultural relationships.

You know…stereotyping is not a good thing,but,I
see it like this,85% of the time it’s true.That’s why there called “STEREOTYPES”,however,it’s NOT right to completely lable EVERY person(who is of an
ethnic group that is used to stereotypes)that way.
I think us as a people take stereotypes to another
level,usually to a negative aspect.I must say their
are people who actually do embrace the stereotypes
of that specific race/nationality.It can be a bad/
good thing as well,sometimes people automatically
think stereotyping has to do with the nagative aspect of the word,but,that’s not neccessarily true!!.
