Thats why BM/WW celebes get so much media attention. Robert Di Niro and many other stars are with black women, but nobody cares, they get no coverage.

Trust me, nothing gets a whiteman more upset than a blackman with ‘his’ woman.

I know how folks can be when it comes to black/white unions. I got it fom both sides when I dated a white woman 7 years ago. There was an incident when my girlfriend and I went out to dinner. We sat next to this young white couple. The guy gave me a dirty look, whispered to his girlfriend and stormed out pulling her in tow. I wss a little shocked at this but not shaken up. I just said: “I guess we’ll have a little more privacy.” We laughed about it later. We then went on the train to go back to my house. Whites and blacks alike gave us dirty looks especially when she put her hand in mine. I didn’t go through that when I dated Latino or even an Asian girl.I got some stares mainly from blacks but not whites. My mom told me that back in the day, the white woman was put on a pedestal. I guess that meant the black man was the door mat LOL. Anyway, the white woman could only be touched or even looked at by a white man.A black man could be killed for just looking at a white woman.Some still see it that way now. A white woman is somehow denigrating herself and considered “damaged goods ” if she dates a black man or worse if she has children by one. Tnese occurences only have this negative connotation if the man is black. However in the past they were shunned if they were if they were captured or lived with Native Americans as well. The biggest stigma resides with the black/white union. Now I don’t exclusively date any particular race. I love the variety of everything the Creator has put on the Earth. I go by personality,attractiveness,carriage of ones self etc. It’s a shame that to this day people are still caught up on color. Man is the only creature that is hung up on color. Birds, dogs, horses etc. don’t care about that. We as the “supposedly” most intelligent beings on Earth, are also so idiotic as to ignore the basic laws that govern the Universe. Its a pity.

I’m a newbie on this site but I thought I would put my 2 cents in any way. There is definitely a racial hierarchy in this country. I agree with the fact that skine tone,facial features and hair texture has a lot to do with it. I am a light skinned black guy although my remote ancestry has some native american and irish as well. Getting back on topic,whites and blacks are the most different phenotypically. This is one of the reasons that there is so much of an uproar over the black/white unions. Asians,whites,Latinos (mixed native/white) and even Native Americans are closer physically than whites and blacks. In other words there is more contrast. I also agree that the legacy of slavery has been hardwired into many peoples minds over the centuries.This in turn fueled the racism that we see today. The lighter skinned peoples tend to group together and look down on the darker ones. You can see this in India,the Islamic countries,Latin America and of course the good ol’USA.
America wss settled in the 17th century and slavery didnt end until 1865. Thats over two hundred years of mental conditioning for both whites and blacks alike. Superiority complex developed in many whites and non whites were deemed inferior. However,as more peoples came to America there became a pecking order based on outward appearance. I dont want to go too much into history but a lot of people want to forget the past. This is a grave error. You shouldn’t forget the past rather you should learn from it. Hence,the old adage of “Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it.” I’m sorry to have to say this, but its gonna take at least a century to clean this toxin out of Americas system. Slavery,genocide of the American Indian, and so on only happened 145 years ago. Thats a drop in the bucket of time. We still have a long way to go. Ignorance,racial superiority(even though subconcious more so now)and blatant racism still abound in our country. I wish that everbody would get off this racial bullsh*t and come together, but the reality is many people still feel that way even though many don’t say it out loud. Sorry to go off on a tangent, but I think that we should stay realistic about things while we make efforts to make changes.

Just trying to keep it real

BTW, with that I meant that at times I felt IN DANGER when out with him – redneck white people (especially men) would just stare, and not in a good way. I would have worried more if he hadn’t been physically stronger than all of them. Also, it bothered me FAR more than it bothered him -I guess he’s been dealing with this his whole life.

It’s a rude shock, realizing just how different the world can seem from a person’s eyes who is something other than Caucasian (in this country). You don’t really realize that until you date someone who’s not Caucasian (in my world, anyway). It’s not fair, and I feel sad/angry about it. I’m even annoyed at whatever lingering misconceptions that I may possess, and am trying very hard to get rid of them.
