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 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 The BET network airs commercials for a dating site exclusively for black people. Yea yea. I realize that. Even at that... something seems off. I dont think its good to say only this or only that. Guess i hate clubs lol It would be ineteresting to know the name of such a site,, BET is not owned by black folks anymore,, and though I know of some sites which CATER to black people or people who are attracted to black people,, I have never heard of one that is EXCLUSIVE to only black members,,,, that would be interesting to research,,,,

I didn't want to accidentally break a rule.

what about 'only men with net worth of more than fifty thousand need apply'? its just about as shallow, in my opinion as choosing by race, but equally a persons perogative if its what is important to them,,,,

Something like that could make you come across as rude or bigoted. It's one thing to put "No smokers please" on a profile. That just tells me that I would be wasting my time contacting them but it's something else to put "Whites only" or "No fat women" on there. On the other hand, if they are a racist they are going to be compatible with a racist...

Well, she could also have said, "Don't want no short short men..." HAHAHAHAHAHA!! oooh that was funny stuff there. However...my profile doesn't say no short men. lol It doesn't say no old men either for the same reason. lol Now you done stopped preachin' and started into meddlin' !
