I’ve noticed the same thing. When out with my white male friends, black men (with white women on their arms) do glare at you. Others do, too. I think black men feel it’s OK for them to do it, but feel black women should stay true to the race. Personally, I feel you should be with whoever you want.

Why don’t you ask a sista who is with a white man? I am a black woman attracted solely to black men. I have no desire to date or marry outside my race. And given the history of our country between black and white – which is very ugly, vile, hateful and recent – I simply do not understand any black person getting involved with a white person romantically or otherwise, outside of a working relationship. I especially do not understand it as it pertains to black men, many of whom lost their lives messing with a white woman – or on the strength of the lies of a white woman.

I’m white and my wife is black. We’ve never felt discriminated against. We’ve had a couple stares from white people (a disproportionate number of them from white women at cosmetics counters in department stores, not sure what that means) but nobody’s ever said anything to us. The most irritating treatment we get, and it’s a minor one, is that clerks in stores and at checkout lines rarely think we’re together when we’re buying something. They’ll frequently neglect to acknowledge us as a couple. Oh well.

Who cares? I’ll tell you who: People with deep-seated racial problems. Instead of just seeing a couple, they see a black and white couple. As a black woman, if I see an Asian and white couple, I don’t get upset, but sometimes people have resentment and feel that any type of consortment with the ‘enemy’ is disrespectful to them and their race. Imagine living in the South after the Civil War and seeing a Yankee girl and a Confederate man together. Even 3-5 yrs after the war, people would not like it. So in a day when racism still exists, to some people, interracial dating feels like treason.

I’ll give NJ Wayne credit for pointing out the glaring hypocrisy in his explanation. First let me clarify that guys in general always categorize women on the level of involvment. Not just white guys on black women. Doesn’t matter what race you are or race you date. There are women out there that you just want to screw (as Wayne would put it) and then there are those who you want long-term, which also includes screwing. This isn’t just relegated to inter-racial romances; how ridiculous is that? With the high divorce rate in the United States for same-race couples, how can anyone on speculate the chances of an inter-racial couple’s longevity? Love isn’t a science. The only negative reaction you will get is if the person in question is attractive. If you are a white woman and you see a white man that you are attracted to hooked up with a black woman, I think you will spark a reaction, for the simple fact that the white woman would feel that the white guy in question has low standards because, let’s face it, white people see black people as inferior. So if you see a white person with a black person, they look at that as a demotion – “how dare they go there with that.” Keep in mind, this only happens if the person is attractive. If they are not good-looking, trust me, they would pay it little mind.

I’m a black woman and my husband-to-be is white. Whenever we’re in public we get looks of surprise (and sometimes dismay) from white women or black men. There seems to be a double standard at work here. I could be incorrect about this, but it seems that when it comes to today’s white male/black female relationships, many black men find it repulsive, citing that in the days of slavery, white men would often rape black female slaves. Yet these days it’s fine for a black man to date a white woman. I find the whole thing mind-boggling.

I think the double standards are disgusting. If black men are so angry abut black women dating white men because 1% of the white population more than a century ago were slave owners, and even less than that raped their female slaves, then why is it OK for them to be with the ‘slave owner’s’ woman? Further, I want to say that I agree with Lynn H about hoping that more and more white men/black women couples will come to exist. I’m attracted to black or dark skinned women.

I think that black woman have problem with black guys dating white women because of a double standard. Most fat white woman can find a decent black guy to take them seriously. for a gorgous white woman its not even an issue. Most white guys won’t date a fat white woman as a perference. he defenitely won’t date a fat black woman. If you look at most of black girls that only date black men many of them have flat butt and are real leggy. of course there are exceptions but not enough to make black men jealous.
