There are a few reasons why I think a lot of black men date white women: 1) Historically, white women were put on a pedestal. They were seen as ladies, the ideal woman. A black man could be killed for dating a white women, so she was seen as ‘special’ or ‘superior.’ Therefore, she became a symbol of social status. Notice how many black athletes or sucessful black men marry white women. They have money now, and they need a white woman to validate them in society.
2) Self-hate. Believe it or not, there are black men out there who say they are with white women in order to have ‘pretty children,’ meaning light skin and ‘good’ (straight or wavy) hair. They hate something about themselves, and they prove something by being with a white woman.
3) From what I am told by black men, white women put up with a lot more sh– than black women. Black men say they can get over on white women, and black women are too strong, etc.
