I just saw a profile on here that the first thing the blog said was
"White men only!" omg! Are ya sure? lol I mean geez. I'm going to say it, that is out right rude and unnecessary at all get out! lol
Why can't they just decline an invitation to talk if they don't want to date a black man? That would make me feel singled out and rejected for the color of my skin. Should my profile say No ASIANS?? It might as well to me. I think African Americans have been through enough and don't need to see that first thing on someone's profile. Rude rude rude. Take it down you. lol noway



its best for people to show their truest colors up front,, keeps those non white men from wsting time or screen space writing them laugh

Personally,

I think preferences can equal racism. (in some cases)
In many cases it's just a sugar coated with the word preference.
Each person has to judge their own heart.
My 2 cents....




racial preference is a preference to be racist

although, I understand the preference that makes us look for someone who resembles the beauty in our own (biological) family more than the kind that makes us avoid someone who does or not consider our (biological) family beautiful,,,,,,

Once in the "New Members" forum, a black American woman made it clear that she was looking for black men only.

Also, there is a dating website that caters exclusively to black people.

So, racism in dating preferences isn't limited to white people.


thats true, all types of people have racial preferences

I havent seen a site that is racially exclusive though,, thats interesting

Yes. I get what you're meaning. Maybe some are just trying to avoid all those african spammers you hear about. Many try to adjust their mail filters to avoid them.

i guess i've been around people who've acted this way too long and just shake my head when i see things like that. i'm the type that pretty much answers anyone who even views my profile just to say thanks. they or the ones that respond will be the ones who will pay the price down the road....when you see it stated, just shake your head and think another soul with no real heart.:smile:


That's good advise. Thank you, I suppose I will have to try that. Maybe...lol, but inside my heart screams that I was meant to speak up and try to help.

Reminds of when a Klan chapter down in Texas became an equal opportunity employer and hired Mexicans and Afro-Americans to make their robes ...I wonder if they have a social network up on the internet and what are their parameters, if any...laugh

I think its rude. You go to a profile of a woman that you think is attractive and it say no __ Whatever BUT i rather that because it beats trying to come up with something clever to impress her in a message @ least she didnt waste my time Thank YOU
P.S.
