Wrong.. White women do not allow black men to run all over them. I am white and my fiance is black. We have a son, and we take care of each other-do things for each other and love one another with all we've got. \n\nHe will go to the ends of the earth for me. Black women (no offense - but I've got to speak the truth) say we take more crap because they feel inferior and need something to blame the black men for, for desiring any other race but themselves. \n\nThey should not feel inferior - but they do. Black men like us for different reasons. My man loves me for the following:\n\n1. My long, soft, shiny (pan-teen style) hair\n2. My green eyes that have flecks of gold and change to gray and blue sometimes.\n3. My Dimples.\n4. My personality - the way i make him laugh\n5. My heart. \n\nNot because im white, but because I am me and anyone else who makes up idiotic reasons - needs professional help because they are feeling inferior about themselves.

How redundant! Have some class here please.  You know, if a black man chooses to go out with a white woman then maybe it is a question to ask the man here?  I live in Tx and believe me interracial couples are as common as cowboys and this is pure racial hatred here.  I am a white woman who has dated a black man before I married and I didn't take him from anyone nor did I go out with him because he was built different or had it all. I went out with this man because he asked me on a date and we had a lot of common interests.   Every person no matter what color we are, we are equal with the exception of those who are racially inept to deal with issues that are too far above them and too ignorant to see that beauty is in every man and every woman...\n\nAnd I can really understand how someone could be offended by seeing a white girl with a black man when the ignorance of this question says it all...no matter what color you are you have a right to date any person you choose.  \n\nThere are a lot of white woman who  "act black" and it doesn't work.   Black women have a lot to proud of and they have been made to overcome struggles that were only based on the color of their skin, as has the black man and every race that isn't white.  When I see a white woman with a black man  and she "acts black" I am appalled and yet a white woman with respect and values does not even create a second look from me let alone thought that she shouldn't be on the arms of that man.   If I were a black woman I sure would be ashamed at how some of the white women act, this isn't some mind game to play within our cultures.  Respect each other for our differences and appreciate who we are and where we have been for goodness sakes.  Don't make statements such as "we aint taken dem from yall!" and expect that your above someone...your insinuation that black women hate it that black men will be be with a white woman and yet....I am white and I would be ashamed if my son was with someone of your substandard intellectualism.  And it isn't anything to do with your IQ which could be of the highest bar at this point...it comes down to ignorance and being true to who you are.

I say bigotry, Stupid people, fear, and unwillingness to change. I saw a guy on TV one time, can't remember who or what show it was, and he says the reason behind racism is, all those things i just said up there, and the fact that if a white person celebrates his heritage, it is nothing but racism to other cultures wether the white person is american, canadian, french or otherwise.If a black man celebrates his heritage, it is nothing but oppression  and hatred for the white man. Black people have BET and have comics telling jokes about white people all the time, and some white people think it's funny, some white people get pissed. What if white people had WET and had comedians telling jokes about black people, the NCAA would throw a fit! I think his point in saying that was Everyone is just as racist as everyone else, you can't just label a whole color/culture/heritage whatever. not all black people are racist, but i'm sure some are, same goes for whites, reds, browns, yellows, everything! And i'm sure since you're from south america, a region where there are no racists, you do get some prejudice. But what if I, a white dude, went to South America and tried to make it? You think i would just mingle right in? WRONG!!! You have to make the choice yourself not to be racist or hateful. My friend and i get along just fine, he is black, whoopidy doo, our families are different but we have been best friends since we were 12, now 22. So it's up to individuals to make the difference.

That is so admirable that you were able to persevere in that situation.  I would like to thank you for fighting racism in the most productive way possible.\n\nI am white, but I too have experienced racism.  My best friend is black, and many people assumed that we were dating.  There were many people who would not talk to me or even look at me- mostly black women and white men.\n\nAnother time, I asked my neighbor (black) to turn down his music because we could not hear the TV in our own apartment.  One of the guys came out and called me a "white c*nt" and said that if he were listening to country I would not mind the music and several other mean and disrespectful things.  He had me cornered and I was not able to get away.  As soon as I got into my apartment and locked the door, I started crying.  I cried a little because of fear, a little out of anger, but mostly because of the extreme display of how much hatred one person can show to another with the smallest provocation.\n\nRacism is an ugly thing.  I think that it weakens our country more than terrorism ever could.  It's like a virus from the inside whereas terrorism is like an attack from the outside.  I long for the day when we all call ourselves Americans instead of black, white, or whatever.

Hi: First I want to thank you for asking this question. To me, it is ovious that some white people have treated you and your relatives/friends in an awful way. I am white. My friend Barbara was a wonderful person. She tried to help me and be there for me as much as she could. It was crazy because I remember this time that we went to the park for a walk. She said you should see the people giving us looks. It wasn't just white people. Unfortunately though she passed away. I miss her very much. She was black. To me she was a beautiful friend, caring person, and the best listener that I have ever known. I am sorry that people have treated you badly. ("WHITE") people have treated you bad. I love all people not like I am a psycho person or whatever to me people are truly wonderful. We all have unique qualities that make us individuals. Why can't we just be there for each other and stop focusing on a race thing?

I read one yesterday and was shocked at how many people wrote "I'm not racist, but but I hate..." It made me really sad, usually you see enlightened, intelligent sensitive people (for the most part barring the jokers) then suddenly to see the opposite- a bunch of bigots, with prejudice and hate.\n\nI thought these discusions could help eliminate hatred based on skin colour or where your parents were born. I guess we humans still have further to go than I thought.\n\nI'm English but live in South Africa. Here everyone is working towards overcoming the divides. It seems that in the UK it is more acceptable to a be a racist. Theres so much hatred. I dont want to live like that. But I advocate freedom of speech, and that must aply to everyone. Im going to just read the questions that deal with issues not based on a persons skin colour. \n\nNo you are not alone in your frustration. I just hope peoples attitudes can change for acceptance rather than hate.

I haven't see the users question .the fact that so many of you is offended means the question must be pretty bad..i don't think reporting him is the answer .it'll be far better to do as you are doing now and voice your displeasure.to their questions .when they see that they are not getting the response they want .in time they will stop and move on .thank you for apology.i'm black and i'm not a spokesman for the whole race .i can only speak for myself .and my view is this .someone saying hateful things on a computer site can't hurt me .if you read my name backwards that's what i think of people like that ...once again thanks for the apology but  there's no need .you can't be held accountable for the whole white race anymore than i can for the black race

i understand what you're saying... it's over for us(white) but it just keeps on goin for you. when my sister married a black man it became clearer to me how much prejudice there still is today..i've also had some black friends "educate"me about what they go through and i feel a little less ignorant than before, but there's alot of ignorance  out there and i hope for your sake there are more changes coming

Best Answer!\n\nWhen considering this topic I believe black woman are not concerned about her career or status, but focused on her pride when making a statement concerning "our black men being w/other races".  \nMost people are not aware that many of blackwomen are hurting. Have been for sometime. \nFirst scenerio:\nBlkwomen who are raising kids alone / divorced, yet still working - no time for a social life, but they try.  \nSecond scenerio:\nBlkwomen raising husbands (he doesn't work)or she is single good career, but she cannot get a "specific type of goodman"  \nBoth type of women have been hurting for years and both feel they have not been respected or honored publicly. \n \nThat inferior/insecure feeling/emotion is passed off as anger. Many of blackmen have been blamed for this or that as to why blkwomen life, lifestyle has not been better. That blaming likened to that of blackmales who blame white people as to why their life is not better. \n\nWe all have to take care and love each other and I do believe many of black women feel like no one is taking care of them. Many feel blackmen have desserted them long before dating/marrying other races was popular. So now to see blackmen with other races w/o regards to what blackwomen have contributed within the american black culture for some is a smack in the face. Its like being at work and its a team effort to finish a job, but when being honored the boss speaks of only one of the members. \nThe rest of the people feel like they got overlooked, but they all know everyone worked hard. Blkwomen feel overlooked by many of blackmen and society, yet black women make up the families/ neighborhoods/ etc..  \n\nPeople have to learn that when a man and a woman come together they are not representing their entire race/culture country as in the olympics, but instead they are representing love. Love for one another - period. \n\nHope this answers your question!

You are absolutely right.  I am white and my girlfriend is black.  theoretically I couldn't be a racist. I don't feel like I am and no one says I am but I still find myself thinking racial epithits in my head toward low class blacks and hispanics.  When I say low class I mean drunk bums on the street and gangsters.  When I see a person that is white in a similar circumstance I just think loser unstead of attaching the racial slur in front.  Why do I do this? There are good and bad in everything in everything.  Race should never be a part of anything. Does this help?

Me: African-American woman.  1. Personally I'm tired seeing it...media tends to focus on black men with white women exclusively, this helps to send out the message that black men consider white women to be their ideal standard of beauty...for some black men, having a white woman helps to validate their status in life... however not every black man wants or feels the need to have a white woman on their arm. 2. I also find it very interesting how very little attention is given to relationships between white men/black women. Hmmm, what does this really say about society, and American culture in general?

These idiots answering think that you are racist?   it find it quote refreshing to see anyone of any color setting their boundaries - and not letting others do it for them....\n\nI am black and these people do not know where the line of racism is drawn.   Civil rights were based on equal opportunity - not the right to use "bigotry" or "racism" as a tool to force people to make personal choices in marriage, dating, etc.  That is overstepping the boundaries of the idea of stopping racism.\n\nI find this deplorable, the answers "conditioned" and those who use answers like this regardless of color not having the ability to think freely. \n\nI am black and I feel the same way.   I have and always stay with my race.   I am married to a beautiful woman and have three small girls.  (All BLACK) if they were to come home and bring any other race, I will go through the roof.  There are enough black men out there and they can choose from them.

well you are not the only one, my hubby is white n im black, we were in spain and  went in this restaurant sat and waited for my husband to bring food coz it was self service, you wont believe this white employee came and told me to stand up, this really hurts especially when it comes to skin colors, why behave that way i thought racism was ignorant but they still do it so intensly, even in shopping malls they wont serve you  or ask you how can they help you. i was really hurt by that experience, and some of them just think black ladies are prostitutes and nothing else.

yes, I was married to a black man for 20 years.  I loved him very much but we caught hell from both sides white and black.  People were always trying to under-mind our relationship.  His family had problems with it, especially the females in his family.  My family at first was not happy, but when they saw him for who he was, we had a great relationship.  So, you can't force people to except your love of another person of any other color or country.  You both have to work on  your love of one another because there is always going to be hateful, mean people out there who are not going to be thrilled with your love and will say things and try to do things to end it.  People are just hateful.  But, I don't regret it.  My husband died and he was a good person and we endure a lot, but we loved each other and people saw that and pretty much had no issues with it.

Thank you, Thank you, Amen. The most racist things I hear come from the mouths of "minorities'' The movie titled white chicks, what is that about. Two white guys could not make a movie called black chicks and do the same thing. It is pretty bad!
