Yeah, I have always been super attracted to white guys so I know how she feels, it’s hard for me to catch feelings for guys my own race for some reason
A black woman can be against the concept of racism. That is anyone that thinks, or believes, blacks are inferior. She can be married to a white person and still be against racism.
Ok either you're really thinking too hard about this, or you're trolling. Do you think when alone she gets treated better because she wears a t-shirt stating dating a white guy? Do you think her experiences of being a black person are diluted because she made a choice that contradicts your views. You're happy she doesn't get a say in a topic that affects her because of the person she dates? That's pretty fucked up
That doesn't sound contradictory at all. You basically just described Candace Owens, my neighbor in the house behind mine, and pretty much all of my interracially married clients involving a black woman...
What you're insinuating is that in order for a black person to not be racist, then they have to exclusively romance other black people.
That's not what I'm saying. What I'm trying to say is that if she stands up for black people then she should date black men. I'm not saying that she has to hate white people, I'm just saying that she should support her own race.
I didn't say anything about hating anyone. You're saying that in order to be supportive of black people, they have to romance within that race exclusively.
@menina Hmmm... I am Not Sure about that Woman but Sometimes I think what would happen if ALL the people of the world looked Alike ( No difference in Colour and shape ) !!!
@menina I don't discriminate People just because of their Colour/ Race/ Religion But I have Few Burning questions in My Mind !
Who are the Black People? From where the Came? Why don't they bring development in their own Countries in Africa or South America !
50 Years Ago South Korea was a poor Undeveloped Country but Now Sout Korea is a devloped Country, 40 Years Ago CHINA was Nothing, people were Starving there But Now CHINA is almost a SUPER POWER, 20 Years Ago INDIA was noting for USA but Now all Top US Companies have Indian CEO and India is a Ally of US ! 30 years Ago Who knew about UAE / Dubai? But Now Dubai is World's Major Tourist Attraction !!
All People & Countries are Developing very Fast but if You go and see in African Continental they are Still as same as they were 30-40 Years Ago ! WHY?
How long Black People will be dependent on other Major Countries like a Second class Citizens? Why Not they make their Own Country GREAT like Israel did?
I Know about African slave trade and their History And I know Google and Companies Like Google, IBM, Microsoft have CEO from INDIA British Ruled over India for 200 Years but Now India is a Bigger Economical & Military Power than to England... How long African People keep Crying? Who is making them slave Now in 20121 ?
If she's anti-racism, then she doesn't mind mixed marriages or people dating outside their race. If she thought everybody should date within their own race, she would be racist.
If a black woman dates/ marry a white man and speaks out about racism she faces or racism black people face in general , coolz. If she's like " white people are the devil , white people are the worse " and she dates/marry white guy. I'm not going to respect her.
what? if she's against racism, then yeah, she wouldn't be having a prejudice to date a white guy just due to skin colour... so i wouldn't take her less seriously that she's actually doing and acting how she says she is...
Those dont sound contradictory to me at all, why would it be odd for someone who's against racism to not take race into account when dating? Makes perfect sense to me
It isn't a contradiction. She can date whoever she wants regardless of race, love knows no race. I would not think less of her because she dates a white man, the opposite actually. I wouldn't take anyone seriously who talks against racism but then ONLY interacts with people from her own race. Actually, I think the notion that a black woman MUST date ONLY black men is racist.
It is racist if she does it simply because of race and not of her preference. Everyone is entitled to have a preference. As does a black woman who only likes black men because she prefers them over white men. What I think it's racist is when people believe a woman should date her own race out of loyalty for her own race or something like it.
Who you choose to date does not stop you from being a decent human being that stands up for what’s right. No it’s not contradictory to support black people and date someone who’s not black. That’s just having basic human respect for all races.
Yes I would still take her seriously. being against racism is being against oppressive systems and the people who run them, it will include white men. But that doesn’t mean that the white man she's w isn’t trying to help break those oppressive systems. people see race and that will probably never change much, but not dating someone just bc they’re white or black or any race is limiting and small minded. She isn’t being hypocritical.
I don't see why it's relevant in this case who she dates. Black women are not obligated to date black men and dating a non-black man doesn't change who she is or what she believes.
It would be a red flag that it’s of concern for her to date people of a particular race. She’s dating based on her exterior persona rather for organic reasoning.
? It would be racist of her for her to limit herself strictly to only dating one race. Her dating outside of her race doesn't make her less credible, and it opens her up personally to a whole new realm of racism against interracial couples.
well, yeah, but that doesn't make it right. Could you explain why you think dating outside of your race makes you unqualified to talk about the racism you've experienced?
It doesn't your love and relationships is totally different topic from racism. So I don't even know why people attach the two. Who you sleep with or marry has nothing to do with what your political or racial believes are.
I mean, maybe not, but you haven't explained your point. Could you tell me why it's contradictory for you? If anything I'd say it's a pretty blatant anti-racism statement to date outside your own race.
@menina what do you mean I'm taking this to a personal level? I haven't said or asked anything about you personally, I'd just like to understand your viewpoint
@menina I'm actually black but I lied to see if you would be racist towards someone outside of your race. I still don't know what your reasoning is, but it's not your hypothetical black woman in an interracial relationship that doesn't have credibility when it comes to racism
It's not that I'm refusing, it's more that you wouldn't understand because of your racial background. Your life story is different than mine and the daily experiences you have are also different.
I know you're not. And I appreciate the fact that you're not being sarcastic and calling me dumb like a certain user.

Yeah, I have always been super attracted to white guys so I know how she feels, it’s hard for me to catch feelings for guys my own race for some reason
May I ask what race are you?
Black
Oh, ok. Sorry for asking. I guess it was obvious Lol
A black woman can be against the concept of racism. That is anyone that thinks, or believes, blacks are inferior. She can be married to a white person and still be against racism.
Thank you for your answer. You also understood my question unlike some users.
Ok either you're really thinking too hard about this, or you're trolling. Do you think when alone she gets treated better because she wears a t-shirt stating dating a white guy? Do you think her experiences of being a black person are diluted because she made a choice that contradicts your views. You're happy she doesn't get a say in a topic that affects her because of the person she dates? That's pretty fucked up
No, I'm not trolling. I'm a moderator so I can't and I don't want to troll.
And I've never said I'm happy.
That doesn't sound contradictory at all. You basically just described Candace Owens, my neighbor in the house behind mine, and pretty much all of my interracially married clients involving a black woman...
What you're insinuating is that in order for a black person to not be racist, then they have to exclusively romance other black people.
Do you not see the problem with that statement?
That's not what I'm saying. What I'm trying to say is that if she stands up for black people then she should date black men. I'm not saying that she has to hate white people, I'm just saying that she should support her own race.
I didn't say anything about hating anyone. You're saying that in order to be supportive of black people, they have to romance within that race exclusively.
What I'm saying goes behind that. But I probably shouldn't tell you.
@menina Hmmm... I am Not Sure about that Woman but Sometimes I think what would happen if ALL the people of the world looked Alike ( No difference in Colour and shape ) !!!
If that happened something else would come up. Humans love fighting against each other.

Google African slave trade and colonialism.
And Africa is NOT a country it's a CONTINENT.
And don't ask me what Google is because I'm pretty sure you know what it is.
I Know about African slave trade and their History
And I know Google and Companies Like Google, IBM, Microsoft have CEO from INDIA
British Ruled over India for 200 Years but Now India is a Bigger Economical & Military Power than to England... How long African People keep Crying? Who is making them slave Now in 20121 ?
If she's anti-racism, then she doesn't mind mixed marriages or people dating outside their race.
If she thought everybody should date within their own race, she would be racist.
Falling in love with someone isn't based, oddly enough, on their skin colour.
Frankly, refusing to date or marry someone because they aren't black is as racist as only dating them because they are.
If a black woman dates/ marry a white man and speaks out about racism she faces or racism black people face in general , coolz.
If she's like " white people are the devil , white people are the worse " and she dates/marry white guy. I'm not going to respect her.

Actually, I think the notion that a black woman MUST date ONLY black men is racist.
What about the a white woman who only dates white men? Is that racist?
It is racist if she does it simply because of race and not of her preference. Everyone is entitled to have a preference. As does a black woman who only likes black men because she prefers them over white men.

Yes, a black woman can get into a relationship with whatever race she wants, and still fight against racism.
It would be a red flag that it’s of concern for her to date people of a particular race. She’s dating based on her exterior persona rather for organic reasoning.
That may be rhe least amount of racist a person can be, if you just don't care about skin colour and marry whoever you like.
Marrying a white man doesn't make you racist. Love knows no race.
? It would be racist of her for her to limit herself strictly to only dating one race. Her dating outside of her race doesn't make her less credible, and it opens her up personally to a whole new realm of racism against interracial couples.
Then most people in the world are racist...
@Nevernevernever, I agree with you.
well, yeah, but that doesn't make it right. Could you explain why you think dating outside of your race makes you unqualified to talk about the racism you've experienced?
It seems contradictory to me. But I guess you'll never get my point.
It doesn't your love and relationships is totally different topic from racism. So I don't even know why people attach the two. Who you sleep with or marry has nothing to do with what your political or racial believes are.
I mean, maybe not, but you haven't explained your point. Could you tell me why it's contradictory for you? If anything I'd say it's a pretty blatant anti-racism statement to date outside your own race.
@DaMack999 They're all connected.
I just asked a question. You're taking this to a personal level.
@menina what do you mean I'm taking this to a personal level? I haven't said or asked anything about you personally, I'd just like to understand your viewpoint
Ok, I just said that because it seems that you're angry.
@menina why do you think that? I haven't been defensive or insulting. I'm just asking some pretty basic questions
Ok, sorry then I got you wrong.
Before answering your questions I must ask you this: are you white?
I am, yes. Why?
Ok, then you will not understand my reasons. I don't want to argue with you and I see where this is going to end.
@menina you're refusing to talk or explain your points to anyone outside your own race? I'm not trying to argue with you
@menina I'm actually black but I lied to see if you would be racist towards someone outside of your race. I still don't know what your reasoning is, but it's not your hypothetical black woman in an interracial relationship that doesn't have credibility when it comes to racism
It's not that I'm refusing, it's more that you wouldn't understand because of your racial background. Your life story is different than mine and the daily experiences you have are also different.
I know you're not. And I appreciate the fact that you're not being sarcastic and calling me dumb like a certain user.
@menina, yes I am. Maybe you're not actually black
I guess I can't tell you what's my reasoning in this thread.
Why would I lie about being black?
Why can't any woman in any race have different oppinion.
why would I lie about being black?
@DaMack999 That's not what I said.
I didn't say you were lying.
Well a woman can fuck who she wants and still have a race based political view. Why wouldn't anyone take her seriously. Just cause.
@DaMack999 You do know that you can comment below your answer, right?
Long as everyone’s legal of age and happy, their relationship won’t bother me and I won’t lose respect for them for what they choose to do
