Am I racist if I tell my daughter Not to Date Black Guys from DC because of AIDS?

[Anonymous]

no you are not racist because you are only excluding DC city.

yes.
It isn't only about race. Socio-economics plays a huge role here. A black kid from a HHI in a good zip code grew up going to the same pediatrician as yours did. If his parents are highly educated and well off, they very likely have the same sense of sex-ed and safety that YOU have. They teach their sons to abstain from sex if possible, but to always use a condom and practice safe sex. Teach your daughter to practice safe sex, OP. The reality is that in DC, anyway, is that an upper class white girl that is SAFER with a black guy from a nice neighborhood than a white kid. Black women from the upper classes raise their sons with an extra dose of restraint and respect for the women in their lives. A black woman would NOT be happy to see their son with ANY white girl. So, suffice to say, he won't be making any stupid mistakes over your daughter. The mother he has to come home to will not be amused or just wring her hands. He will be sent away to military school in another far away state.

What if the black guy grew up in an affluent mixed neighborhood and his parents are doctors and attended top schools. I would look at the person's background not their race.
The white guy who is middle class or lower could have ben exposed to many more STD's. Condoms always. And if it's a relationship, ask them to get tested. It's as simple as that.

4% of black men. There's a whole 96% that this statistic doesn't apply to. My black husband and son don't have AIDS just because some bum on the corner does.

My best friend's dad graduated from Howard U. in the 70's and is a doctor. Neither he, nor his son nor his grandson have AIDS. Nor are they very like to EVER have it. Safe sex and education. Ignorance is a dangerous thing.

Good point but I do not think that the OP is ready for THAT discussion. LOL!!! I am pretty sure that OP does not realize that the parents of that black young man that OP wants his/her daughter to avoid are having a similar discussion urging their son to avoid HIS/HER daughter! LMAO! I wonder if OP thinks THAT is racist.
