I definitely see you're logic and agree to an extent.
I think people should be able to love a person without their race being what makes it up; however, there should be mutual understanding and willingness to learn and grow in a relationship.
In most cases (not every), a black women and white man will not have experiences the same struggles in life. The black woman could have dealt with extreme racial oppression but the white man may not have, so they end up having different views and expectations on what racism is and how it should be dealt with. In this case, the relationship could end badly because he simply doesn't know how to handle certain occurrences or why certain problems people talk about are even problems. If each person is willing to be patient, listen and support each other in times of injustice and try to understand why they have different views, then the relationship could work.
Also, there is a thing where people fetishize race, which I think you should definitely stay away from a person who does this.
Let's say the black and white person had a similar upbringing and have a mutual understanding of certain issues, then race should not be something that hinders them at all. There is a "white male privilege" but this does not mean every white man just wants power over a black woman or wants to sexualize her.
I've seen BWWM relationships work out well and end horribly for various reasons. Being in the relationship for the right reasons and being open about discussing cultural differemces is key.
Jamie and Nikki for example have a lovely relationship; they even have a YouTube channel.

So to be short and frank about this question, no I don't think black women and white men should just not date just because he's white and she's black, but it should be for the right reasons and they should be open about discussing experiences in treatment and cultural differences.35 Reply- +1 y
Strongly disagree with the disrespecting every black man by the way. It's a big occurrence for black men to degrade black women every time they date outside of their race. A lot of black women result to dating outside because black men aren't interested.
If the black women starts saying "black men are this... or black men are that.." then yes, that's disrespectful. As long as they stay true to who they are and support their own people, it's not disrespectful to date outside of your race. - +1 y

1.8K opinions shared on Dating topic. I disagree. I don't see what's the difference between a black man dating a white woman and black woman dating a white man.
I don't understand why people see nothing wrong with a white woman dating a black man. But when a black woman is dating a white man, it's almost like she's committing a crime. And people say she hates herself or that she wants to have kids with lighter skin and "good" hair.
Why can't a white man love a black woman, but a black man can love a white woman? It makes no sense to me.
We can't forget about what happened in the past, but no one who's alive today is guilty of what happened 150 or 200 years ago.
So, to me if a black woman is dating a white man, she's not dating her oppressor or disrespecting all black men in the world. She's dating the man she loves.42 Reply

I know this is a little far fetched but...
don't you take a look at animals how they blend together and don't care what colors, patterns, or stripes they have? They just love each other and reproduce?
Why can't we be that way?
Why put so much emphasis on what's out of our control?
If animals can do it.
Then so can humans.
HUMANS need to take note from animals on how to love.41 Reply
+1 yI disagree solely because we should have evolved from this, majority of people who are alive and "young" now, we can't blame the past on races because we didn't have anything to do with it. I see your point of view totally, however I'm really open minded and I'm not going to let the past control who I date etc.

That's a pretty screwed up way to think about it. Love should not be about "getting back at a group of people" that's a childish way to look at it. You can't just group people together as oppressors and victims that's stereotyping. Black women shouldn't care what other black men think, they have no control over them. If a black man feels "disrespected he's an asshole" just like a white guy feeling "disrespected for a white women dating outside of her race. I think you need to adapt you views if you think people should be seggregated in dating. That's how the problems start.

My step mom is black, dad told me I would have been black had he not been raised in the racist 1950s. So my step mom said she likes white men because of all the bad experiences she had with black men. So basically everyone is going to have a unique and personal perspective or preference on this topic based on their own life experiences.

Why I have the feeling that an black man who impersonate as an woman had asked that question, so racist and sexist black man think that they can have it both way, and have both black woman and white women. The black population is did not increases by mulatto children, simply because they are not real/full blacks, and also there are too many blacks in this world as it is.

And every black man is dating a white girl to "get back at the white man" and black women choosing to date a white man is her dating her "oppressor" and disrespecting every black man? Really?😏 God knows it couldn't just be because they're attracted to each other.
