Color of Love: Celebs in Interracial Relationships

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!

Black women, you deserve to be happy and in love. I am so glad that you are finally waking up. Love is all around you.

Tim..13 years of wedded bliss is so WONDERFUL cause it is all about the SWIRL in my life. Again, you and your imaginary or doormat girlfriend are all about low self-esteem, lack of confidence and just plain ole any BM will do in your collective pathetic case. You are a hypocrite and she is a self loathing woman who more than likely did not have a strong male role model to teach her better. I don't have to "come" with anything regarding you. I am living it, Baby!!

Lili please! There are plenty of non-mixed, non-foreign bw who are married to non-black men. I live in Boston as well and have seen many a sista with a non-black man so I know you have too unless you live under a rock. Times are changing. If you find someone you love, he loves you back and is good to you then consider yourself blessed no matter what color he is.

Have anyone noticed that 10/12 of the women featured are of mixed race or foregin. So it's no surpise that they dated/married people who share the same race as their famiy memebers. What a JOKE!

I am so tired of everyone accusing black men and women of being: "stupid", "ugly", "having attitudes", "uneducated", "ignorant", "lazy, and "no good" I've reviewed All of the comment's and most of the time when a black man or woman was referenced one of he above label's was place in front. This topic has show such a horrible degree of SELF HATE, Why are so angry with each other? We have to change the way we view ourselves 1st! Because this crazy, You can not love anyone else if you are NOT loving yourself 1st. For all those who claim they love everyone you've proven by negative comments you have no love for black people.
