Color of Love: Celebs in Interracial Relationships

I’m always happy to see and read about black women exploring their options when it comes to dating and marriage. Too many nice black women are single for no other reason other than they refuse to see beyond color when it comes to a mate. It does not matter if he’s white, Asian, Latino or black if he’s a nice guy give him a try.

Black women do not fall for the lies. Non-black men who date black women are not judging you by black mens standards. They do not judge you by your skin tone or your weight. Do not pay attention to the trolls.

Isn't amazing how many black men are on this forum spewing out hatred. If you are not interested in black women, then why are you are a site that is geared toward black women? It doesn't make much sense.

@ Lara-This article is not about black males. We all know that they date outside of the race. I do agree that the negative stereotypes need to stop. At the same time, some of the black women who have posted are reffering to the black men that they have come in contact with. Are all black men bad? No Are all black men good? No. I am so glad that many of the black women that have posted have refused to be silenced by the negativity. Black women deserve to be treated with dignity and respect just like everybody else.

I don't see what the big deal is, white asian and latina women are more beautiful than most black women today. White men say that for them to be with a black woman she has to be HOT. I am sure yall know what HOT means lol...

Personally, I want more black women to date marry sleep with asian latino and white men. Why?? Because the more of you black ladies that do that the more white asian and latina women will want to date black men.. I know from FACT this happens. In 2000 I dated an irish woman and she told me the reason she started dating black guys is because of her ex-husband's marriage to a black woman. Many of you will not believe me but that does happen!

This is an interesting topic and I see just as many Black males with non-white women, even Asian women that one would think only are interested in dating/marrying white males. As a black american born and raised woman I have no problem with black men and my fellow black women dating outside the race, no problem at all. But I DO have a problem with those that deceide to do so critize me for still wanting to date black men. I also don't appreciate the labels many are using on here to describe the men AND women of our race such as "all black men are no good, losers, etc..." or "all black women that date white guys only do it for the white man's money and/or to spite black men". This NEEDS TO STOP!
