this phenomenon of recent history? or has it gone on for years and years and only surfaced in recent history? now before i get bashed, i realize that other races of married men probably do the same thing, but i guess i am more surprised that seemingly masculine heterosexual married black males would.

There was an article in the Baltimore City Paper about this, and one theory is that since a high proportion of black men in some areas have been incarcerated, they pick up the habit in jail and then either like it or don't know how to get back to the heterosexual lifestyle. (Don't get mad at me--I didn't make it up).
I also think that until recently, it has been more accepted in white culture than black culture to be gay, so gay white men are less likely to hide it.

Actually, the few married men on the DL tend to hook-up with gay men (typically the masculine acting ones).
It is by no means a new phenomenon, there have been unhappy gay men in married relationships for thousands of years.
Just the same as there has been homosexuals for thousands of years, way before the church decided to persecute the lifestyle.

It seems to be very common, they are starting to make TV shows about it and talk shows.
That is the reason aids is rampant among the black race here in America as well as Africa also.
I read something once stating that half the black males are gay and the younger generation is more around 60%.
I've always figured it's something that's passed down from father to son, part of the culture.

LMAO thats a often going on. many times i pay attention approximately biracial dudes picking White females yet to each his very own. solid for him. And he's kinda appropriate in that even nevertheless maximum Black adult men could date a White female, we wont constantly marry her. Alot of it basically has to do with lifestyle and history; many times human beings experience extra tender marrying somebody because of the fact they share an analogous cultural values as them and an analogous history. Its no diverse from a catholic courting a lutheran, yet marying annother catholic or a jew courting an anglican and marrying annother jew. i think of the attitude extra breaks down like this; attempt to locate a beneficial sista to calm down with, yet once you fall in love with a White female and he or she's solid to you, spouse her cuz you may no longer get annother risk. i in my view favour Black, Latina and mixed females yet while i myself like her and he or she's White i will choose for it. I prefer to stay interior of a Caribbean/Latin American lifestyle nevertheless, because that's what i replaced into raised with.

It's been said that it's because African Americans are less accepting of homosexuality, therefore these men are afraid to "come out". Of course I think it's all BS!

That's the problem with ignorance and stereotypes. Cheaters and liars have no race, no religion, no socio-economic, or educational limitations.

That does seem very odd how that is happening. No woman has to worry about that with me because I'm against same-sex anything and I don't like dudes like that.
