I am a black man who until recently thought I was pretty open minded about interracial dating and marriage. I graduated from a predominately white university and have many friends of different races. But I have to say that I have a huge problem with black women dating and marrying men of different races. I do not like it. When I see a black woman with a guy of a different race, I can't help but think that she has classified all black men as no good because of one or two fools that she may have dealt with in her past. What many people outside the black race don't understand is that there seems to be a growing sentiment among black women that their a no good black men. Or my favorite, that all the good black men are gay or in jail. To me their dating a guy of another race echoes this sentiment. What they fail to realize is that there are plenty of good black men out their. Good hard working men who may not have alot of material wealth but plenty of heart and looking for a good black woman to share and grow with. It seems like alot of black women are penalizing the good black men for their lack of superficial qualities. Expensive cars, fancy clothes, bling etc. They get caught in wanting a man with all of that stuff, legal or crooked. When they find one and he does them wrong, then ALL black men are no good. So they move on to the next race or lesbianism, another growing factor in the black culture. I myself am married to my college sweetheart who is black.
