    I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I'm a gay, black male, and I have the same preference. To me, having a preference is one thing, but my preference doesn't stop me from interacting with or being attracted to black guys. It's just that white guys are my first choice, not my only choice.

    Honestly, this is a question that I've wondered about since it became popular years ago. I've been told that unusual black names really became more prevalent in the late 70s after the television miniseries Roots. It started out being a way to give one's child a unique, seemingly strong name. However, during the 80s, 90s, to today, the names have morphed in ways that really leave me scratching my head. We are products of pop culture via television, magazines, films, and it's influence. Evidence of that can be seen by the contortion of today's children's names which in my opinion, ends up hurting children in the long run. I am veeeery glad that my parents gave my brothers and I mainstream names. We were named after our father and grandfathers. I couldn't imagine going through life with some of the names I've seen given to kids today. Sometimes, I'd like to grab these mothers, shake them, and ask 'Can you imagine your child's name on an office door, or desk nameplate?' Personally, I wish it would stop! It's embarassing.

    This is an answer that must be answered individually. For me, I do both for one simple reason, I like it either way. It feels good to regardless if I'm on the giving or receiving end. Some prefer to only give while other prefer to only receive. The answer will vary by individual.
