It seems society is or even the black culture in general is okay with black men dating outside his race but when a black woman does it..she don't love her black brothas. Whats up with that?

It's the old double standard. Men can do anything they want, but women are looked down upon for doing the same thing.

It is hard to be treated like a trader for dating outside of your race. Nothing anyone can tell you will ease the blows that will come.
Everyone expects females to live more up to tradition than they do males. Because males are more the rebel. People do not like to see that in females.
But it is only fair to you if you are true to your heart. You can not be happy if date who you are expected to date. No one knows who they are truly meant to be with. Follow your heart but don't let it blind you to the truth at the same time.

I have no idea.
I have no problem with it. I guess maybe cause its not as normally seen.
Black men dating outside their race,used to be taboo one time.
But then again, men can do whatever they want and be called everything positive, and women can do the same and be called every name in the book.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan. That's because blacks are a minority in the good Ol' US of A. In South Africa the situation is reversed (that was years ago when the AIDS rate was not as enourmas as it i now...).
I went to school in South Africa (post 94' and Mandela and freedom and such stuff) and it would be exactly the same thing.
I reckon its the fact that women give birth and take care of babies, whereas guy don't. Hence, if you are in a minority situation - you don't just take care of babies, you're supposed to take care of the burgeoning of your race (so to speak).
My 2c as regards my experiences on the Dark Continent.

Male-female double standards. Us women have to live with it, whatever race we are. Date who you want, it doesn't matter what society says.

Hypocricy and racism. I have experienced this situation many times and Im getting tired of it. Its not their business if I chose to date a white guy or if Im more attracted to white guys.
