What do ya'll think about a white girl dating a black guy?

Question

Thanks for your input. I do appreciate it. I'm glad to see that my generation isn't completely as bitter as I thought them to be.

Answer 1

Im white, Australian engaged to an African-American man...

We have a beautiful daughter together...

Go for it! and dont worry about what anyone else thinks.

If you find the right man, whether he be black or white, just make sure that he treats you well, gives you respects and honesty...and that he treats you like a queen...

Answer 2

Do what makes you happy. It is really the quality of the person, not the person's race that matters.
But let's pretend that you asked a different question.
Let's pretend that you asked, "what concerns should a white girl have when dating black guys?"

I know I'm going to get flak for this, but this is what I would tell my daughter.

Safe sex is very important in this case (it always is, but more so here) for two reasons.

First, STD rates are much higher among blacks than whites. I don't know why this is, but it is a fact (I included the source below, which is the US Government agency Center for Disease Control...read it and be surprised).

Second, be aware that if you have an interracial child and the father leaves you, your options for future relationships may be limited. This isn't racist, this is just the way it is. Most men do not want to raise someone else's child. There is a stigma attached to it, and if the children are biracial, it will be no secret that a white person is not the father.

These aren't reasons not to date or marry a black man. But they are reasons to make sure you use a condom if you're not in a serious relationship. But you should always use a condom if you're having sex outside of a long-term / serious relationship.

Good luck.

Answer 4

Honestly, I have no problems with it. But there still are people out there who do. And you need to decide what's best for you and for your man. And make sure you take into account any issues you might have such as old fashioned family members for example. lol
But having spent time in the military and being a military spouse as well, it's quite common in the US. Alot more than alot of people from smaller towns might expect.

Answer 5

I think you shoud stay with your own race, but it seems to be a popular thing between either sex, hell most of the younger white kids want to be black anyway, look at how they copy the way they dress, and that is just 1 example

Answer 6

The only problem that I can see is if your parents will be accepting of him. I am assuming you are a teenager. My mom was cool with my black husband but my father never accepted him. One day my father said he was coming over to shoot the coon when he was drunk. Karma took his life away shortly there after. Do your thing. It is so sad that even in this modern period that we have to ask these questions.

Answer 7

There is nothing wrong with it. I know a few white women that have dated or married a black man and they are very happy.

Answer 8

I think people should be with good people who treat them with respect regaurdless of color. You can put the same race together but that doesn't mean you'll be treated like a queen/king. I tell my children to be with who ever is going to make them happy.

Answer 9

blacks should be with blacks because of the whole slavery fact and it turns the races against each other at times example:blacks will look down on blacks for it and whites will look down on whites for but what ever the couple feels is rite is what they should do because love is love black white green purple orange red or yellow

Answer 10

I think nothing about it. The colour of someones skin should never get in the way of anything. Much the less dating.
