Jerome, you mention dating ‘several white women.’ This is hardly a representative sample, especially when you consider that, even today, there is a limited subset of white women in the southern US willing to openly date an African-American man (you don’t mention whether you have lived elsewhere). The ‘white’ women whom you’ve dated are probably more adventurous in many ways, not just sexually. Maybe they have some sort of penis fixation, and believe A-A men have bigger ones. Maybe they’re going out of the way to ‘prove’ they’re open-minded. Maybe they’re acting out a fantasy of inverse subservience or something. Before generalizing, consider whether there are other factors affecting your ‘research.’
