Black woman single cos the black men are in jail - would you marry outside your race?

[Kadagar_AV]

I am with Rhyfelwyr on this one... *gasp*

I dont mind having an asian chick (or whatever) as a one night stand, or as a sex partner... However, when it comes to having children I would like something looking remotely close to me.

I mean, I do endorse FLK as they make the world more rich, it's just not in ME to have those childs.

I can get (very much) turned on by asian women or south american women... I have never yet found a black woman who turns me on though. But still if I get turned on, I would prefer to have little ones with someone from my own race.

[The Stranger]

why?

i personally believe it shouldnt matter how the woman u marry looks like or what race she is from... its supposed to be about love and character. ofcourse u should be attracted to her (atleast in the start :P) but u wont stick unless there is something between u that glues u together.

Or do you argue that there are no white women I could love that has a fascinating character, so I am bound to go black (and never go back?).

OF COURSE looks or race is not the most important matter in a long relationship, but hey, the relationship wont even start if she is not smoking hot. And white. Get my point?

I do not get turned on by black women. I do not want brown children. If anyone else wants black girls and kids not looking like him, then by all means go ahed! It's just not my thing.

Not to flog the obvious horse, but unless you go through a South Korean cloning lab, your kids are not going to look like you. By definition. They're loaded up with 50% of somebody else's genome, the little traitors! Skin color is the least of it. What about teeth? Hair color? Foot size?

A focus on miscegenated children is strange and misguided.

Yes, tehy are loaded up with 50% of someone else's genome...

Would be sweet to have my daughter have my wifes nose and my chin...

Skin colour is quite another thing though!

And again, anyone who doesnt see that as a problem, go ahed. I just happen to do. Is that wrong? From my point of view it is a matter of personal appeal. Mind you, I am not saying it's WRONG to have sex between races (god knows I have). I don't even say it's wrong to have kids between races.

Again, if you like it, go with it. It's just.not.for.me.

It isn't a conscious decision, but if your children really don't look anything like you, then for some people it might be harded to see them as being their own children. Especially when you grow up in a very white dominated place like me, when your friends, family etc are all white, then you expect your own kids to be white as well.

I think maybe some of it just might be a case of what you're used to. For example, half-black kids to me seem more 'normal' than half-Chinese kids would, and that may well be because you see a lot of half-black people, but very few half-Chinese people.

Europeans are for ever tanning themselves to be darker. Asians / Indians / Africans often apply materials to make their skin whiter. Europeans want small noses, Asians bigger. We curl our hair, African straighten theirs...

Women aren't happy with they way they look - however they look. A shock, I know...

ah but not in the good old days when europeon women had dignity and wanted to be even whiter! forever white yah!!! to match the seed their husbands squirted upon them which they were not allowed to enjoy...

[The Stranger]

true, but it bothers me not at all. i dont care if my children are half this half that... as long as they are human, healthy and from the woman i love. and i actually believe that "mixed" children (which is actually bs, because all children are mixed as lemur says) to a good thing. or atleast not a bad thing. not per se good.

And there's an option for you in the poll. Don't expect everyone to feel the same way, though.

@Strike I think we hit some common ground, man. Lucky for me, my people have a strong culture to embrace. I don't mean to sound racist or anything, but merely seek brush aside my ignorance: is hip hop the closest thing the blacks have to their own independant culture?

My skin's a tad bit too pale. Too much Metis blood, see? Must purify my line with a real woman, a strong-willed, red-skinned beauty.

Or maybe just go tanning instead. Whatever.

No and I don't want to make that impression. the big problems massive urban poverty combined with broken homes combined with an antiquated power strcuture which has out lived its usefullness. Blacks are all to often portrayed as entertainers or criminals in the media and that is also a problem. At a certain point life imitates art.

Modern hip hop is simply music and has no more bearing on culture than Marylin Mansons hard rock.

well i can understand that u are more attracted to the people you grow up around which are usually of same race. but i dont see why the "race" should be more important than the actractiveness.

i mean u have hot ... girl and hot white girl, the first is nice the latter a *****. will you chose the latter because she is white?

In my ninth grade, I was known as "the swede in the ninth"... So no, the people I grew up with were not of the same race.

When it comes to attractiveness..

I just dont find black people attractive... Asians and south americans I do find attractive, but the cultural difference is HUGE, 'specially with asian women.

I much prefer to corrupt a good ol' catholic girl...

Somewhat related to that point is an interesting cultural phenomenon I have noticed. Most black women in American entertainment do everything they can to look like white women.





Those two could very well be white girls with heavy tans.

What does this say about our society... about our standard of beauty?

[Kadagar_AV]

PJ, a very good point!

I very much hope people understand that I talk about personal preference, and not about a racistic view at large.

Hey, I wish I was turned on by black women, would have broadend my playing field (before I had my English rose).

But if you look at society at large, yes, black women are not as lucrative on the market as others. And from what I have seen, nor are black men (if anyone have other experiences please do share! I can only speak from a very personal standpoint, and from what I have read/seen/heard black men aren't exactly seen as a "catch" when it comes to intriducing your new spouse to the family, I would blame bigotry on this, and if not, well maybe they have some other reason, like statistics or whatever).

Hmmm... I forgot I was on an american forum with american standards!

Sorry for refering to black people as black people... But "afro-american" just don't jibe on an international board. And you can't really say africans as then you have to include people from, say, Tunisia or South Africa.

So let's go with "blacks".

Though at the same time, "whites" are not too keen to keep their "whiteness", rather they like to have some tan.

im not saying that you have to find black, asian, latinas etc attractive. im just saying (in general) that i believe that when you find the abstract epithet, race/religion/possibly even sexe/etc, more important than the reality, girl in front of you, in any way, you are not going about it the right way.
