Why do white people always want to touch black women's hair?

We arent trying to be rude. We just want to see how it feels. Like me for instance, I cant understand when you get your hair up and looking pretty, how does it not go flat when you go to sleep? If I fixed my hair like that it would probably go flat before I laid down on it. Anyways, we arent trying to be rude we are just curious

Nope, they're are just broadening their horizons like everyone else.  Some who have been hurt by black women turn to not just white women but other races also.  It's the same on why some black women date white men or others.  For some it's a preference to date outside their race but others it might be curiosity.  I've dated other races besides black men and it's not a preference, it's an opportunity to sample the appetizers.  Why have one kind when there is so many varieties?

We do this because the attention makes us feel good..most woman who do this are insecure about some thing and when we get attention we feel better about ourselves...doesn't mean we want to be touched or have sex just means we wanna know we are beautiful and when you show interest it makes us feel good....i know, we are just confusing like that..sorry

I think you may be asking the wrong question.  The right question is "Why do people fall in love?"\n\nIf you're looking a a simple answer based ONLY on sex (which is a dreadful mistake), it likely has to do with the reputation black men have for having larger "equipment" than whites.  It has also been suggested that some women are turned on by the contrast in skin colors.\n\nWe are in an age when those barriers, for the most part, have been broken down and it's no longer "taboo" for interracial relationships.\n\nThus ... the real question is ... "Why do PEOPLE fall in love?"  The answer is the same ... because they find someone who treats them the way they want to be treated, and they develop a loving feeling toward them.

I noticed that firsthand as well. I can think of four factors to explain that:\n\n1. Because it's unusual. I clearly think it's the dominant factor. Most of the times, people date people from the same "ethnic group". Any relation outside that group tends to attract attention just because it is a rare type of relations and what is rare gets noticed.\nYou can imagine that a couple where the woman is much taller than the man would attract attention for the exact same reason, and no one would suspect "sizism" or any other *ism.\n\n2. "Racial jealousy". I don't know if it's a behaviour selected by evolution or just a culturally aquired one, but people from a specific ethnic group tend to get annoyed if they see one of them "lost" to another ethnic group. \nThis factor might be even more relevant with women. They have long been considered "tradable goods" and they still receive much more social pressure regarding their sexual behaviour than men.\n\n3. Communitarianism. From the minority point of view, such relations can also be seen as "selling out". Might or might not be just the same as factor #2. Some black thinkers suggested that black people dating white people were doing so out of a complex rooted in the period of slavery or colonisation.\n\n4. Just plain racism. Like you can see in some of the answers above, this is obviously a factor. But I tend to think that this is a very marginal one. Might or night not be an extreme version of factor #2 as well.\n\n\nJust to clarify for the few naive persons who think that the whole world has gone Benetton. Interracial relationships *do* attract attention and you just need to be in one to be constantly reminded of that fact.

I personally don't believe this is a "new" thing for you, right?  I mean, c'mon.  The media challenges our senses with images of white beauty every day, every minute.  As a bisexual black woman, I had to go through my "white girl" phase.  Actually, I'm still going through it.  Ha!  Seriously, I could give you a historical and psychological reason men of color are going to find themselves attracted to white girls/women.  The white aesthetic tortures women of color, too, for probably the same reasons.  However, if it's truly a phenomenon that's just assailing you, for the first time ever, I'd blame TV.  Sorry, maybe you should stop watching so much.

Why is everyone asking this question??? My man is Black and I'm his Kryptonite. He thinks white women look nasty, just like some white men think black women look nasty. I don't feel less of a person just because a black man likes a white woman. I get hit on by both white men and women, and other races too. It's their preference, so why should we care?\n\nAnd in case that "additional detail" was towards me allybama...\nI'm a black woman. No I didn't choose the dark brown complexion for my avatar because I am not dark brown. I'm more of a caramel or honey complexion. Black people come in different shades of brown in case you didn't know.

The probability is low...I know from experience because i'm a black woman that likes white men but it's so uncommon...Just gotta ask and find out.

*Shrugs* Its the forbidden fruit.  Women like black guys, black guys like white women, white guys like black women, black women like white guys.\n\nIts attitude and social understanding.  I have a neice thats been pretty much disowned by the entire family simply because she keeps hanging around with black rappers who spend time in jail for doing really stupid crimes.\n\nMeanwhile, my best male friend is black and everyone likes him.\n\nAttitude, and social skills, not money and toolsize is whats important

in order to satisfy one' ego one feels that he is superior to others and starts looking others as inferior to him.it will not stop there.another reason is we are conditioned to know that white is superior to black and begin hating the black people and love white skinned people. one more reason is if one group of people  is in possession of wealth, and power, it treats others as inferior to them.

you can like any race you want..  but really, not all white people have pretty eyes and hair.  Not all Hispanic people have pretty eyes..  not all of them are cool..  the majority of black people aren't gangsters or thugs??  where did u get that from?  There are some, but most black people are working regular jobs, in college, or are living normal lives.   Some black people have 'pretty eyes'..  and pretty hair because of the histories of their family.   Its normal that u like Latina men because that your heritage.  But there's people of other races that wouldn't date u anyway, because you seem to be so clueless.

Some do, some don't\n\nPersonally, if her hair is in good condition, I believe long hair is alluring for several reasons:\n\nIt shows that she takes care of herself- because long hair is A LOT of work.\n\nAnd it's exotic- not many women have really long hair.

It's pattern recognition. We are used to seeing white men sporting more hair than black men. Because naturally kinky hair sits low to the scalp, we have come to recognize people of color that way. We react to seeing big naturals and pompadours, etc. worn by black men because we don't recognize the pattern.\n\nEven notice how "doifferent" Little RIchars, Al Shaprton and James Brown look?

I know whatcha mean but it's just an illusion. It's a minority from each race that's attracted to us plus our own beautiful black women makes it seam a lot. Every time I've had a "first time with a black man" they had the expectation of passionate long lasting sex.

No, believe it or not, it is very rare for black people to get it. It has to do with the texture of our hair, lice cannot grip or hold on to it. Good question. We had this debate a couple of weeks ago. Cannot remember the site now, but it is in the med book Skin Disorders.
