Lol Yeah! Sure that will work

ahhh, dodo gets it,,,,!! skin color is a physical attribute,,,,some 'white people ' have darker skin than some 'black people'

I've been avoiding posting here, because topics like this really annoy me, but I can't help myself, so I'm posting anyway. I'm with TeeBee, what is the point of this thread? To make it known that you don't like black women? Did someone assume you did? I'm a black woman and I'd never assume a white guy liked a black woman, even if he said he did, I wouldn't believe him. Based on history and all that good stuff. I've never personally known a white guy who treated a black woman with anything resembling respect. (For those who have, good on you, I can only speak for myself)

The only point I see in you making this thread is to insult black women. Why? I don't know. Unless you're constantly inundated with black women approaching you sexually (which I seriously doubt) I don't see why you would post this. I used to get emails from Indians and Nigerians on the regular until I changed my filters, I'm not attracted to them either, but I would never make a post attempting to shame them. That is plain rude and unnecessary. You prefer blondes over brunettes and you don't see the difference in not liking black women? You're saying you prefer one type of white woman over another, that has nothing to do with race, since you're white.

If you don't see the difference is discussing the merits of one woman over the other and then trying to compare that over not liking anything about black women, you need to educate yourself. That is a racist statement. That is an unnecessary statement. I wonder what would happen if I made a thread extolling the virtues of light skinned black men over dark skinned black men and then said, "but to me, all white men are ugly." Pretty sure I'd be in hot water for that.

Whether or not you like the term or not, you're a racist, not because of how you feel, but because you felt the need to voice it. Racists attempt to hurt and shame people, tolerant people keep those opinions to themselves. I can see if a black woman approached you sexually and you told her you're not attracted to black women, in that case, it would be her fault for bothering you at all, but in this case, this is entirely unwarranted and more than a little sad. Do you feel better for having posted this? I hope so, if nothing else, it reveals your character.

That is all.

This thread doesn't reveal my character at all, but if you think it does than go ahead. The reason I discussed this is because my girlfriend and I were discussing race and why here father wouldn't like me(he's black) and he wants his daughter to date black guy, and she knows he wouldn't accept me because i'm white. But she says she has a preference for white guys, so really no guy that she likes can she feel comfortable bringing home(if he's white).

The reason I posted it from my perspective is because if I said I don't feel accepted because of my white skin-color I would get crucified on here and people saying "you have no idea what it's like...don't pretend you know how minorities feel" or something to that respect.

I understand people have strong feelings on the issue(as they should) but i was curious to see the general reactions of what people think and why saying someone may be more attracted to one skin-tone over another, just as someone may be more attracted to one eye-color or another. I understand black comes in all different shades, and I never said I would rule someone out just because the color of their skin, I simply said I may don't find most black girls attractive(or really my girlfriend saying she doesn't find most black guys attractive, but it was translated to be from my perspective)

her father has racist views too,

my firm belief is just assessing attractiveness on some standard like 'race',, just lumps together all those physical things you find unattractive into one race spedficially,, which I find silly and racist

but doesnt impact my life

funny thing is, most of the time, such people have probably seen attractive people in the race they 'generally' arent attracted to,,but they never assumed THOSE people were part of the race,,

because they made up their mind what that race generally looks like ,and that it is 'generally' not attractive,,,,

lol,, as do racists

because you can change hair color but not your skin color.

Must say a number of things I've read here rattle my cage.

Why should we have to rephrase and talk about lighter and darker skin tones? Why?
If someone's black, he's black. Someone's white, he's white. Should we now have to beat around the bush about FACTS because other people are quick to take offence and overreact?

So now I'd have to say "There are few people with darker skin tones in my area". And if I say "There are few black people in my area" I'm now a racist?
And from now on I also have to get upset when a black, yellow, purple, red person refers to me or my race as "white"?
And yet the people with darker skin tones (no, not the white ones with sprayed on then, I don't mean them) where thrilled when the US had their first BLACK president elected?
Makes me wonder which race has a problem with skin colour?

There's nothing racist about saying black, white, purple, yellow, green, until people add a racist value to it. Which can be both the speaker and the recipient.

Comparing "I don't find black people attractive" to "whites are not intelligent" is so askew.
You CAN in actual fact not feel attracted to any black person, but now way on earth an entire race can NOT be intelligent.

And also peculiar it always seem to focus on black people? Hardly ever hear this stuff coming from Asians for instance.

My whole point I'm trying to make black , white, purple, yellow.
If a race, a color, height, weight is NOT your cup of tea.... Why feel the need to voice that objection?

You can have in your heart, I don't find that skin color attractive AT ALL. Who can tell you can't feel this way.

What is unacceptable no matter how many times people post to this thread... Is to TELL someone I don't like you because your skin is too dark.
I don't like you because you are too fat.
I don't like you because your lips are too thick.

This is BASIC human decency. This is not a race issue... or race baiting.

Or Blacks being oversensitive, or Whites being villified.

skin color can be changed , late Michael Jackson as an example

Michael Jackson had a skin disorder that left his skin with white blotches. He used cosmetics to make his skin have a consistent color.

Having seen other black Americans with the same skin disorder, I understand why Jackson did what he did.

Well, I am not a racist, and I do not associate with any.

My friends and I do not judge people according to their skin color. Thankfully, there are still plenty of non-racists in America.

Anyway, we now know that the OP is a hypothetical situation.

yes, and by your definition of racist,,one who judges people according to their skin color

neither am I or most people, most people have the conscious to be open with INDIVIDUALS They meet or associate with to leave the door open for their preconceptions and assumptions to be proven or proven wrong


but , MOST AMERICANS still do have them,, whether they admit to them or not,, and MY DEFINITION includes those people,,,

msharmony, are you saying that, according to your definition of racism, most Americans are racists?

umm,,, yeah
