Black Men with non-black Women?

Question

I'm doing a project on interracial dating.I was looking at a comment made by Welsey Snipes and he had said "I don't like Black women because they are unattractive and have bad attitudes" and I was looking up articles and the Blakc men who were being interviewed we're saying that black women are better to date and they have better attiudes and they always had negative comments about Black women. I hate this so much. I mean, I have nothing against Interrcial dating, I hate it when people do it for the wrong reaseon and do it out of ignorant stereotypes. Don't you think it's wrong that someone excludes from dating a whole ethinicty of people just because of stereotypes? Don't you think it's very self-hating when someone bashes their own race for another?

Answer 1

I understand where you're coming from. It's crazy that most of the stereotypes are coming from our own race. I've heard it all.
"I only date yella bones." "I only date brown skin." It's everywhere. I say, "F**K what you heard I'm FLY! I date guys that wanna date me. Right now I'm in a great relationship with a white guy. I would have never imagined that. He on the flip side prefers to date dark skin women because he likes our skin tone. Who knows what goes on in the minds of men. In the end they all want and need someone to love just like us. I say try not to focus on the negativity and let yourself be beautiful no matter what people say.

Answer 2

It was extremely ignorant of Wesley Snipes, as a public figure, to say something like that. If he doesn't prefer to date black women, then that is his business, but he doesn't have to bash any one group of people just because he isn't attracted to them. The fact that he belongs to the same race that he is bashing makes him sound arrogant, as though he is somehow "too good" to date black women. And considering how short Wesley Snipes is (and let's not forget about his financial issues or the fact that he hasn't worked in a while), most black women really haven't cared about him one way or the other.

If anyone wants to bash men or women from another race simply because they aren't attracted to them, then the bashees are better off without the attentions of someone so ignorant.

Answer 3

LOL!!!! Wesley Snipes is not exactly what I would consider attractive. He has a face that could stop a clock. If he thinks black women are unattractive then he must think the same thing about his mother. He apparently has no pride in his ancestry and that is sad.
I've always been attracted to blonds but have never said no to attractive redheads, brunettes & etc. I have dated just about every ethnic group. Hot is hot no matter what the coloring is!!!! Bottom line is I think Snipes is full of sh1t. By the way he just got arrested for drinking or/and drugging while driving several weeks ago.

Answer 4

As every individual is unique, regardless of cultural background, it is a shame when a personality such as Wesley Snipes makes such a comment because there are many out there who would look up to him and take his words as right.
Stereotyping is wrong and i have experienced with my own cultural background.
I think if you are attracted to a person, regardless of who they are or where their background originates from, and they feel the same way then by all means pursue a relationship.
I think people who put their own culture down must have some underlying issues to do so, though it is deemed as wrong by the wider community. ONe can only hope they can look into themselves and see people for who they really are and that is individual.

Answer 5

Have you met every black men in the world? No I think you need to restate your question and ask: African american men, do you prefer black women or non black women?, because I don't see foreign black men involved in that in America but despite that in the black american community 90% of african american men are with black women, so I don't think it's in high percentages as you said.

Answer 6

"I have nothing against Interracial dating, I hate it when people do it for the wrong reason"

Honey, there is no "wrong reason" for interracial dating.
You may dislike a person's reason for not wanting to date a black woman, and THAT reason way be "wrong" but that does not make their action of dating women other than black women "wrong." Does that make sense?

I've never dated a black woman beside prom, hehe. But that is not because I think there is something wrong with black women, I just haven't had the opportunity... yet ;)

Here is a question. Would it be equally wrong for me to exclude all non-blacks from now on?

Answer 7

I am a white woman who wishes she had the attitude of a black person. They are stronger and more free willed than white chicks. (I don't think this is a stereotype since all the black women that I know are all like this) What a man has against that I have no idea. But yes I do think that its is terrible when races bash their own and each others. Just a question, are you just doing interracial black and white dating? I think if you went further than that you'd find alot of this going on with all interracial dating. I know a woman who only dated mexicans and is married to one now. Why? Because she was more attracted to them.

Answer 8

Stereotypes are never good. I am white and was married to a black man for 12 years. We just liked each other. Neither one of had issues with our own races. Now that we are divorced, he's with a black woman and I'm with a white man....not on purpose...its just who we fell in love with.

Answer 9

In my opinion, we should be able to date whomever we wish. If black men exclusively wan to date non-white women, i encourage it. Why? Because that's one less man that would waste a black woman's time. He will treat that non-black woman like an audity rather then a love interest. And that to me, is hilarious.

Answer 10

We go to a 99.9% white church; one would think that the few blacks would associate. It is the opposite, they seem to have this "I grew up around whites and I don't have anything in common with other blacks" attitude. Wesley is no loss to us Black men in general. I enjoy his movies but not his arrogance. It is very destructive to look down another of the same race. But to paraphrase Chris Rock, "black folks hate (n-words)."
