Yeah!! Don"t judge a man by the color of
His.skin ppl

Why do so many profiles look fake?

Its like...I can see right through them

Shud I b saying something here??

To Be Honest, I'll say No Thanks. I've known some black men that I though was very handsome. But I guess you could call me Old Fashion, I was raised to believe White and White goes together, not White and Black. My Granddaugther just married a black man.

That's what people would call a joke!
You need to have a sense of ha ha to understand.
Debbie Downers need not apply!!!

I just wanted to add that majority of people stay within their own culture when marring or choosing a mate, not saying cross culture relationships won't work, as I have stated I myself have dated out of my own culture and race, but I believe also it will put undue stress on the relationship primarily due to the differences in culture, not to mention peoples prejudices, even though you yourself may not be prejudice your families or your friends may not share that belief, unfortunately this occurred in both of my relationships with African American women, I was even threatened by one girls 4 brothers whom I had known for several years and considered friends, we like to think that the world is more enlightened now, but its really not, people just keep it mostly under the surface.

And staying in ones culture isn't necessarily prejudice I think its more of a familiarity thing.

I did have honest feelings for both of these women, their skin color never once mattered too me, but we caved to the external prejudices
of others.

This is the best comment on this entire thread. Thank you for your honesty.

wondering where are all the folks protesting that all racism is wrong?

or that people are only judged on merit and not color,,,,

Me myself is inlove with a Black Man :)

Maybe some day we will have a color blind world, but not today I'm afraid

color and culture are often used as synonyms,,,

however, ones color will not define their culture,, you can only know an individuals culture when you know the individual

being from a similar culture makes things stronger,, but that culture doesn't have to be about race,, it can be a similar religion, or a similar socioeconomic status, or any other number of types of 'culture'

I wouldn't discard the possibility on something as fleeting as ones ancestry or skin color,,,,

,,,just a thought,,

Their sticking their heads in the sand as usual.

I don't want a color blind world,, I prefer a color EMBRACING one,,,

embracing and learning from different histories, asthetics, cultures,,,


is preferable to ignoring them

What I meant is people should be judged by their merits not their skin color or race or culture etc...
And too I like to think we are unique as individuals why does ones race or culture need to be a factor

It's a shame that this topic is even discussed... You like who you like... I'm always baffled when people say they don't date outside their race!! ??? I thought there was.one race, the human race.. BELIVE me I get preference, but that is still an ignorant statement

Probably asleep. I'm sure once they wake up they'll be properly offended.

I don't see anything wrong with not dating outside your race, everyone has a preference for who they're comfortable with and who they find attractive.

And as another member mentioned earlier, not everyone wants to deal with the bs that can come with it- just because you consider yourself open-minded or whatever, you still live in a racist society and you will have to deal with intolerant people, unless you plan to live in a cave for the rest of your life.

If you have racist friends and family you either have to deal with them treating your SO like crap or cut off all ties to them. Not everyone wants to make that choice.

Everyone has their own preferences and are entitled to it. I try not to set boundaries or limitations on whom I will like based just on race or ethnicity. I dealt with some reverse judgements when I went with my ex down to south Tennessee where it was predominantly black people. I wasn't treated nice at all even by my own in-laws so I can see why some are deterred, however a relationship is between two people not all their families.

I can't imagine putting up with that kind of bs from others. If I decide to date someone outside my race, I'm going to do so. Basing my decision on how others may feel about it is not fair to the other person or myself.
