- Knowing as I do the repressive racist bias within my extended family...
'WHY' would I want to develop a loving relationship with someone
who'd be EXPOSED to such pernicious caustic undercurrents?
IF you're WILLING to 'absent' yourself from such family... you two CAN succeed... but,
FEW are prepared to forsake their decades-old familial ties.
I have been privileged to have known several 'drop-dead' stunning, intelligent black women whom I could have easily fallen for, but 'why'... consciously ELECT to place even greater life's hurdles,
upon not only ourselves but eventually ALSO your innocent children?0|00|0Is this still revelant?

- Anonymous11 dNot sure. I know that black woman - white male marriages have one of the lowest divorce rates. Whether that says white men take black women seriously, or it’s that they don’t take them seriously so only the most committed make it to marriage I couldn’t say.
my guess is that such relationships are either just sex or can be quite serious.
my sense is that there are some barriers to such relationships forming both in terms of expectations around early dating on top of anything else, but when they happen... probably get killed for saying it but my sense is that both black women and white men go into relationships with a pretty high expectation of what they expect to GIVE. And both can be pretty happy with how the other treats them.0|00|0Is this still revelant?

317- The answer to “Do white men...” is always yes, some do. No idea about any particular man. Some white men would give a woman the same respect regardless of her race. If I were dating a black woman I would be there because I wanted to be there, and would not treat her any differently than any other woman I have dated. If you are in a relationship with a white man, has he said or done something that motivated this question?0|00|0
That's understandable, but it's definitely not true of all white men. There are many happy mixed-race couples. OTOH, there are black women who have decided that dating white men is more trouble than it's worth. It's not that the men are bad or racist, but they feel the odds of it working are not good. Sorry I don't have a link for you.
- You know "white men" don't hold meetings to decide who will marry whom.
It's usually a preference made on individual level rather than herd level.
Each individual is different , has different tastes and preferences and you can't club them and ask "dO wHiTE mEn mArrY bLaCk wAhmAN"0|00|0 - Very very few people are interested in anything except their own for any reason except 'forbidden fruit'.
The forbidden fruit is in turn a passing interest, a confidence and own will building exercise before you choose someone alike.
