Black & White

Question. Why do you think Black men date White women?

Well, from what I have observed over the years, some Black men choose white over black because of the lack of tolerance and appreciation for their black counterparts. Black women are known to be very strong and they may, to some, be perceived as angry and have "bad" attitudes. This is not always so true.

Personally, I do not have a problem with Black men dating white women. When I see them together I really feel sorry for the woman because little does she know that Black man may not necessarily be with her because she just so happens to be intelligent, ambitious, independent and beautiful. He's with her because he thinks she is a push over, doesn't talk back, timid, and will stroke his ego whenever he needs it.

Those types of Black men do not feel that they have received that from a black woman. They believe Black women "talk back" as they like to call it. I call it standing up to them when they try to force their egotistic and chauvinist ways upon them.

I know that sometimes we Black women can be a force to reckon with but that does not have to be a negative connotation. It just means that we are a bit more challenging and deserve men that are not intimidated by that strength.

Don't get me wrong white women. I'm not saying that White women are passive or weak, on the contrary. I know a lot of Caucasion women who do stand up for themselves and have what I call a little 'talk back' in them like us Black sistas. Just keep in mind the real reasons why some Black men date white women.
