Breaking ‘Swirling’ News! Gallup Poll Shows Record Approval for Interracial Relationships

That's true they endorse the doctrine of Mejorara La Raza which means marry white to lighten up your offspring.

I thought Mexicans are killing white people (and black people) in L.A.
That is something I read a while ago, is it true?
I also thought Hispanic men have Hispanic women on a pedestal and prefer them over all other women and by Hispanic women I mean mestizos.

Yes, they are. A black high school boy was knifed to death walking home by a Hispanic gangbanger in the suburban town I used to live. My parents used to own rental property in what was once an all-black neighborhood, but sold partially due to the unwelcome climate they felt. The fight is over territories, not so much race, although that's an easy fall back.

Would love to see it, Arlianna!

I doubt that bwwm will surpass wwbm. BM for sure have a strong desire for light skin, so much so that I have to wonder if that ish is genetic, WM on the other hand don't seem to be obsessed with darker skin, so why would they pursue IR with bw with as much vigor as BM pursue ww? The only way is if somethings about bw changed. I've found that WM put more weight into non-superfitial things (within reason) than BM.

Sorry, this part of my reply was for the person who wondered if bwwm would surpass wwbm.

White men date non-whites more than white women similarly to the way that black men date non-blacks compared to black women. Same for Hispanic men. Why are black men singled out for doing something that other groups of men do?

And the way that white men love skinny women with fake breasts shows men that they are no less superficial than black men. Black men date both small and overweight women.

"BM for sure have a strong desire for light skin, so much so that I have to wonder if that ish is genetic"

I have wondered about that myself. It isn't just African American or western black men who love light skinned women. African men love light/white women too.

I think the WM who like BW would be just as happy with a WW if they ended up with one. And WM who date BW do not mistreat or degrade WW. I can't imagine WM rejecting WW the way BM are rejecting BW.

"I think the WM who like BW would be just as happy with a WW if they ended up with one. And WM who date BW do not mistreat or degrade WW. I can’t imagine WM rejecting WW the way BM are rejecting BW."

This is really sad.

Let me say this. I really didn't want to, but this comment has moved me. I have a very strong preference for chocolate. Black men do it for me. But, in my experience, they've been really reserved in terms of having a relationship with someone who isn't a Black woman.

I can't tell you how hard it is, as an Italian-American woman, to even date a Black man that I'm interested in. Even if I know that he's interested in me. Black women definitely have the advantage when it comes to Black men.

I would ask some of my Black male college buddies from way back when, why they didn't approach me for a date when it was CLEAR that the attraction was there. "Oh, it'd break my mom's heart to see me with a White girl!" "Oh! I didn't want you to get so much negative attention!"

It's all BS, if you ask me. I'm definitely not living the life where I can get any Black man that I wanted. I'm finding that if I were Black myself, I'd be in a much different position with them. When I look around, I find that Black women get rejected a lot less by Black men than I do. But then, I always lived in New York City. It could be different in different places.

WTH?! Honey, where I live a WW can look any kind of way, have any type of attitude and still get a bM. Maybe the age range u date in is different though (older BM may be more old fashioned abt IR).

I have never met a WW who wanted a BM who did not get one. Every fat WW who can't get a WM has a BM in the county where I live. In fact, I see fat middle-aged WW with younger BM.

I know a 43 years-old WW who most WM probably would not give a second look who is married to a 30 years-old man from a West African country. I can't imagine him marrying a 43 year old BW no matter how good she looks.

If BM cared about breaking their mother's hearts, they would not date/marry other race women at a higher rate than other men.

My brother lives in NYC and he worships WW. He is never without one.

In the county where I live, WW are everywhere in the black neighborhoods with their BM and mixed race children.

Sonii, your comment, in turn, has moved me. Mostly it has moved me to ask, "Is this for real? Are you for real?"

You're an Italian-American woman living in NYC and you can't find black men to date? Are you kidding me? REALLY?

And you write this: "I have a very strong preference for chocolate. Black men do it for me. But, in my experience, they’ve been really reserved in terms of having a relationship with someone who isn’t a Black woman."

Sonii, I'm just going to come out and say it, you are either a black man in real life that is getting a kick out of taking on a white female identity so you can heap praise on black men on this blog for black women, OR, you are the one-in-million white woman that cannot get a black man's interest by merely existing, and you just so happen to also be meeting the one-in-a-million black man who wouldn't go out with a white woman because it would hurt his mother's feelings. And despite the fact that these sorts of black men who would turn down sex with a white woman are one-in-a-million, apparently you have met several of them.

Does this sound off the wall to anyone else or am I just crazy?

Sonii, can you explain any of this?

I also find Sonii's story fantastical. I know such black men exist but they are certainly not any sort of majority, IME.

I never said anything about interest. I can get their "interest" just fine.

Ugh. Forget I said anything.

Rollins v. Alabama, 1922 was well before Lovings. It just didn't result in any changes in the laws.

By the way, my first kiss was in 1969.

He says he loves being my husband and I make him happier than he has ever been. That is the only approval I need or want.

Exactamundo. :)

OMG! He hasn't talked to his parents in 18 years? That's so sad. Has this caused any emotional problems in your relationship? Has this hurt your kids? I think that would break my heart. I couldn't ask a man to pick me over his family, unless his family were abusive to him before I came along.

My husband is very self-actualized and well-adjusted. It turns out that his parents were closet racists and came out with bells on when he declared he was going to marry me. His parents, particularly his father, were horrified that he was going to marry a "nigger" girl. His mother said I was "too educated, too snotty and too rich". My husband is very well educated too but apparently that didn't register. Anyway, I think he was humiliated and embarrassed at first; he said his parents never showed racist tendencies when he was living with them as a kid so he was shocked at this declaration. Then he was angry and now he has accepted that they will never change. His childhood wasn't abusive and, as it turns out, it was my mother who put it in perspective for him. I didn't "ask" him to choose me over his family. He made the choice and I trust him when he says he is happy with his choice. We have contact with his brother now because our nieces and nephew demanded it (as I said above). They are a younger generation who think it's stupid to have a rift over race. His brother wrote me a long letter apologizing and telling me that I was the best thing that ever happen to their family (I was floored). We also talk to my husband's aunts. The only people in the family we don't communicate with are his parents and that's because it's their choice. Our nephew is gay so he doesn't communicate with his grandparents (turns out they hate gay too) and one niece just can't stand the racist rhetoric so she has chosen to keep her distance because she has a child and doesn't want him growing up with that kind of mindset. My husband and I do not have children (by choice; we were both military brats and were both officers in the Navy. We didn't want our children to suffer because of our careers) but we have nieces (on my side, they are biracial and German-American; my sister married a German man and lives in Germany) and a nephew who have been in our lives since babyhood. We are a blessed couple and have a very happy marriage despite his parents' predictions and racist attitudes. Thankfully, we don't live anywhere near them so we don't have to hear about it. My husband is a singular man; I knew this when I met him and I am super lucky to have him as he is me.

Sorry if I worded things wrong. I didn't mean to imply that YOU asked HIM to make a choice between you and his parents.I'm happy to hear you 2 have been happy for 18 years:)

My husband's stepfather was against us getting married because I was black. The funny thing is, his stepfather is not even white, he's Syrian. So to us, my husband's mother and stepfather are in an interracial marriage as well! We see my mother-in-law quite often as she comes up to visit the grandkids. And we get together with his Mom and half brothers and sister at Christmas. But my husband has only spoken with his stepfather a couple of times on the phone over the past 11 years of our marriage. We made a decision early on in our marriage to focus on the people who loved and supported us and our marriage and not the one person who didn't. There were some problems that existed between my husband and his stepfather before I entered the picture. If my husband wanted to reconnect with his stepfather, I wouldn't stand in his way. But I know without a doubt my husband doesn't regret choosing his family (me and our children) over his stepfather.

No worries. I just mentioned it because there are a lot of people who have opposition but still have successful marriages. The two people getting married have to trust each other, love each other and communicate every step of the way. Any outside opposition is (to paraphrase Shakespeare) "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

Actually, black women have stronger reactions to black men dating out than black men have to black women dating out. Black families are more accepting of black women dating out than they are black men dating out.

*blank stare* what???!!! where did you get this stuff from. oh well!!

I've never read anything like that above from Ace. I have actually read the opposite. The closest thing to that I have read is that white women face far more family opposition to dating black men than black women face when dating white men. But women of ALL groups face more family opposition to dating out than men. So this is not something unique among blacks. Groups tend to try and shelter their women from "outsiders".

Asian women seem to get a lot of family support for marrying white men. They marry out at a higher rate than Asian men.

I know all bm are not good but the ones i've been around have been good to me. My dad, my grandfather, my uncle, teachers,etc. I've seen and heard about the good and the bad bm.

And if your rather date a white man then hold on to your wm hand, and if that black man says something stupid then put that white man hand in his face and say” YOU DID ME WRONG SO I MOVE ON TO SOMETHING BETTER.” AND KEEP IT MOVING.

....

*blank stare*

I'm staring blankly too......why was this necessary...don't.....ask.....me!

Every so often you're bound to get one of these types to show up and try to get a black woman or two to claim she dates white men because she's been rejected by black men. They are so predictable. Ms is probably a man.

Ooooook?

I don't like using the word "troll", like ...ever. But, uh, I think SOMEBODY might be crawling from under a bridge here.

Get it? Because "trolls" they... oh forget it!

Sometimes I wish I did drugs, just so the stuff that doesn't make sense when I'm sober would make sense. :S

We are not talking about all bm.

Aw, still so young. Take off those rose colored glasses. You live in a rural community? Parents kept a very close eye on you? Read more BWE blogs.

LMAO!!! GTFOH

What the devil does this have to do with the subject we are discussing?

our post ms.21 has to be the most lame attempt to troll this blog I have seen yet. Pathetic.

POOF! She's/he's gone.

That is called Male privilege.
