Yesterday I read an interesting blog post on one of my favorite blogs about interracial dating ie black men and non-black women and how black women react to these couples. It was such a good read that it even provoked some strong feelings of my own about the topic.
1. Love is colorblind. I am a firm believer that there is someone for everyone but how would you know whose out there unless you stepped out of your bubble. Variety is the spice of life.
2. As a black woman, I don't personally have an issue with black men and non-white women. My problem is the generalization behind dating non-black women such as black women have bad attitudes or we're too ghetto. Just Because you're reaching into the bottom of the barrel---don't blame every black woman for your issue.
3. Every black woman isn't discouraged by your being with a non-black woman. In other words, stop giving yourself so much credit to think that you and yours make everyone uncomfortable around you. You're probably a great guy but I don't want you and her presence is no threat to me.
All in all, if you really like someone and you have a genuine connection---then do you. But if your reasoning for dating outside your race is based on a generalization based upon your personal encounter with less than 1 % of the black female race------your ignorance warrants the glares and whispers you receive.
