I will say that while I find beautiful women of all races......I find more white women to be beautiful then women of any other race.
so while it is certainly possible that I would marry outside my race I don´t find it the most likely scenario.

Re: Black woman single cos the black men are in jail - would you marry outside your r
personally i would say that finland, poland and slovenia are tied for creating the prettiest ladies, so perhaps there is a Caucasian element to my preference, but I am certainly keen yo 'experience' beauty wherever it is to be fond, and that beauty to me is at least in part defined by its difference to what i perceive as the norm.
no english roses for me i'm afraid.

As for marriage, too late. I am not at all likely to marry outside my own race and 100% likely to already be married within it.
As for a broader question of attraction, I am certainly not equally attracted to women of varying races. I'd say I prefer women of my own race, then women of mixed races including my own, and then women entirely of others, with some races more preferred than others. I would separate attraction and beauty, though, as I can recognize women as beautiful (sometimes stunningly so) but still not my type, and not a source of attraction.

edit: for marriage of course, other factors play at least as big a role as beauty/attraction, or at least I certainly think they should.

I don't agree with the undercurrent of the article, which essentially follows the oft-repeated theme of blaming every one and every thing for black society's problems except for black people. The simplest way to help the black family would be for fewer black men to commit criminal offences. Oh, and to start acting like men, not dogs.Originally Posted by The Article
I believe PJ is using "dogs" here in its metaphorical sense, i.e. behaving in a self-serving manner and not setting aside personal interest in favor of family and committment. As such, it is not intended as a racist slur, but is a behavioral critique. SF
I live in a majority black city, and I must say that I am not at all impressed with American "black" culture as I have experienced it. As I believe Sasaki mentioned, though, it is about culture - not race. Many blacks do not live their lives in the way the article describes.
As for the OP's question... probably not.

It is (another) good argument against the war on drugs though.
Re: Black woman single cos the black men are in jail - would you marry outside your r
Decision already made for me. Turns out I married another white Catholic like myself. Can't say as race figured into it so much as her being attracted to me did. Nineteen years together and I still can't believe I got that lucky.
Race? Race is a very small thing when you really think about it. Rather said it has marred so much of our history as a species.

Re: Black woman single cos the black men are in jail - would you marry outside your r
For some reason, I don't see attractiveness in other races. Don't see a lot of it in any girl/guy.
Re: Black woman single cos the black men are in jail - would you marry outside your r
i kind of intended for the for option to include that viewpoint, but seeing as you're the second person to point out the flaw in the phrasing of option (a) I would be happy for you to edit the poll to include a more specific "couldn't care less one way or the other" option.

I feel sorry for you, not only do you live in hillbilly land you have to endure the crap they try to pass off as BBQ.
As per the original question I certianly find women of all races attractive and have certianly had much in common with said women, however as per my agreement with grandfather, I will end up marrying a "southern belle from plantation country who has been spoiled rotten by her daddy" which will become a sexless marrige about two weeks after the honeymoon. But hey I'll probably end up screwing my secratary and depending where I end she'll probably be black
If I were to tell you my real choice though it would be a cajun from the bayou. 1. Because that accent drives me nuts and 2. Because she'll be able to cook cajun food and that is my favorite kind.
She'll be catholic, does that count?

Hell no, never. And I seem to attract native girls a lot more easily than others; I don't mind.would you marry outside your race?
By the way, why are black men so likely to be in jail? Don't you think something is wrong with that? What the heck did you guys do to them?
Oh wait, here we go:
Great, man, good for you. How?

Re: Black woman single cos the black men are in jail - would you marry outside your r
There seems to be a general assumption that attraction is the main requisite for marriage. This may be, but is fraught with danger, in that marriage is a long term commitment and other attributes, less affected by the passage of time, are a more important consideration.
No one has touched on the issue of social pressure (although Strike did note his grandfather's preference). In my world, which is implicitly racist, peer group expectations of marriage are very clearly set. Class used to be the absolute barrier (which made race a minor issue unlikely to be confronted) but race is most certainly now a major disqualifying attribute for all but the bravest or most eccentric. Whilst my sub-set is somewhat mediaevalist in its expectation, I think a similar attitude can be found in a number of cultural groups.
Being a bit of a traditionalist in family matters, I followed convention and expectations for my marriage, although outside my "normal" group but within my class (slightly above, in truth) and race. Recognising my own innate racism in this and other choices, I was simply not prepared to challenge existing boundaries and by so doing, inflict (a horrid word, but accurate in describing my feelings on the matter) a hereditary millstone around the necks of my descendants. Lady Ghost is rather attractive, but possesses much finer and lasting qualities that make her a perfect spouse in my world - and more important, enables her to feel happy in that world, and I in hers.
Marrying outside one's race and culture can be fraught with extra issues. These can often make the marriage strong and resilient, but only if properly recognised beforehand, I feel. As I noted, marriage is not the same as simple attraction or a dalliance based thereupon.

Complaining over what PJ said is ridiculous, this is something of a sensitive topic but your PC hair-trigger will doing nothing but help to derail it.
Chill out d00d!

Me too, I hate Memphis. Perennially in America's top 5 most dangerous cities and America's top 5 unhappiest cities! Don't know where you're getting your information about BBQ though. That's one thing the locals do very right.
I don't think I really need to explain how not to commit crimes and how to treat women with respect, do I? Common sense stuff, here.
I didn't take his post as a complaint against mine - just a friendly jab at the city I live in.

What are you talking about? I don't care what PJ said about marrige.
I may not care how you feel about interacial marrige but just know BBQ is serious bidness and memphis is at best faux KC.

When you grow up in a certain way of life, you'll emulate it. In that way, such things are intergenerational, and won't stop happening because you say it's wrong and that such things must stop.
Very nice solution you got there. "Common sense," yeah, that's right. I wonder why things like these are still goin on, then? Not everyone has the gift of living the sheltered life you enjoy.
Yeah, South America is a lot better off in that respect than the North, our "Little Europe."
