Can black and white date?

Question

why when a black man dates white women, he is called a sellout? If you think about it we all were one color long ago.

Answer 1

Do you date women of all races or just white? If you exclude women of your own race I understand people taking issue. However, if you are simply open to dating any woman with whom you make a connection I say YAY YOU!

I date outside my race ~ not exclusively ~ and I once asked my black girlfriends why some of them oppose black men dating white women. All gave the same answer. They feel there is not many black men to date ~ that is to their standards ~ and white women already have plenty of white men available to them. It narrows the field for them. I understand where they are coming from with that opinion but I can't say that it would deter me from dating a black man. People are people in my world and if I make a connection with a man I would definitely go out with him regardless of his race.

Answer 2

it is just fine when a black person dates a white person, and i dont know why he is a "sellout". that's just racist and wrong and a movement in the wrong direction. Any combination of races can date, it's not good or bad or anything in particular. It's just dating, and love is just love. It doesn't matter what color anyone is. Everyone who would argue otherwise is an uneducated, racist bigot.

Answer 3

Some losers may feel that way but most people don't. My daughter is a blue eyed blond and she loves dark complected men, they are hot! If you run across people who feel black men dating white women are sellouts just consider them trash and their opinion is not worth your time.

Answer 4

Depends on where you live.

And the sell out line is what black women use and I will tell you why. They feel that there is already a shortage of eligible black men out there, and if you date a white woman you are taking one more eligible man away from them.

Answer 5

What I think is that the color of skin doesn't matter, it's all about feelings and personality. If you love someone of a different skin color, the color shouldn't matter. It should just be about getting to know each other and spending time together.

Answer 6

There are a lot of black women dating white men now. I've got a white woman and I Love her. My family gives me grief about it but I don't care, Love is Love, so people can just get over it.

Answer 7

Some feel that dating another race is a sellout because you aren't dating within your race. Don't mind what people say because they can't live your life for u and they are going to do what they want to no matter what u say. "I say live and let live".

Answer 8

If you are worried what other people think about you because of the girl you are dating, you probably shouldn't be dating at all.

Honestly, I have no problem with it. There are a couple of black girls I would love to date. A hot chick is a hot chick regardless of color.

Answer 9

when i date a lady, i dont care about the color of their skin. i look at the content of their character. i have dated women from all races, and each has their own qualities that i find attractive. in fact my current lone interest is a lovely black lady from jamaica. and yes i am white.

Answer 10

omg! deff. date whoever you want. screw the people who call you a "sellout" if you love someone enough then dont let other people get to you. take a look at the movie hairspray~ great message with bi-racial relationships. Good luck with your loved one =]
