BW need to to take MLK advice and judge by the content of character not the color of skin. Maybe he was trying to warn us! Select good hardworking family oriented men. At least for the sake of your kids.

Wake up America. People are people, if he loves and treats you with respect...who cares about the color of their skin. We are all God's children.

Well, I don't date white guys so this topic really doesn't interest me at all. I agree there are double standards on women when they date/have sex with men outside their race. And most Americans know the reason/history on why some people don't approve of dating outside one's race . Non-American's may never understand this. I'll try to explain: America seperate's it's people by color 1st NOT culture or nationality. So is you a Nigerian with dark skin/kinky hair resembling a African American your Black (whether your ancestor's were slaves or not) if you a Cuban with fair skin, blue eyes your White.

Black Single Man, you need a history lesson. The Mayflower brought over the Pilgrims! And yes, white men have taken advantage of black women in the past but why is it up to Black Men to pay them back by dating white women? And if you feel so strongly about dating in your own race then why haven't you stepped up and married one of those upstanding single black women out there that are still waiting for their black prince? I have cousins with great jobs and are great bw women in Baltimore/DC area who have been literally pushed out of the way by bm trying to get to a white women in a restaturant. And no that is not all black men but that is just wrong. Its a double standard.

"I am considering looking to other races to date because I am tired of dealing with the stereo typical attitude that black women display." PLEASE DO. The one thing ALL those bw have in common is you! Non-bw who date bm are starting to exhibit the same attitudes. I have seen ww disrespect bm so bad, even i was embarrassed for them. Move on bw, just move on.

After taking a look at the comments I am really just in aw about the things that are said. If black women feel that they need to look other places to find love then let them. I feel that you need to find someone to support you no matter who you are. In my life I have dated nothing but black women, and I am considering looking to other races to date because I am tired of dealing with the stereo typical attitude that black women display. Maybe they have the same problem.

Black Single man, you are a disgrace period. For you to make the comment these Black successful women are with white men for money is just plain stupid. Ummmm.....as you can see the word successful means they have their own money. As for you i'm sure the reason you call yourself black single man is that no black woman wants you especially with that attitude, and if the white woman wants you, that's great, one less ignorant black man we have to deal with. And i firmly doubt that the reason you gave as to why black men date white women is that they're paying back for the white men for slavery times. That's a load of crap. It's a shame your so ignorant and don't know it. But we will let you believe all that you want and BLACK WOMEN CONTINUE TO DATE AND MARRY WHATEVER RACE MAKES YOU HAPPY, AND DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE SAY! Love my LATINO man! lol
