[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow..lol!  I love DCUM but these responses confirm that my AA son should not date or marry a white woman.

The level of self righteousness from some members of the white majority is dangerous for him.   But don't worry, when your daughter comes after my son, and she will,[b] I hope to have educated him on this matter [/b]and it will be a non-issue because he won't be interested.

You hope to have taught your son that all members of a certain race share certain characteristics and faults? Seems to me there's a word for that... [/quote]

Not the pp (but I am a black Mom). I hope to educate my son and teach him the value of black women. I hope I am an example to him about all that is beautiful, strong and wonderful about black women. I hope that he understands that a successful black man is a great thing to be and it's even better when you find a black woman who is your equal.

But what if your son falls in love with a white woman?  The poster who said that black men who marry/date white women have low self esteem has it wrong.  These posts make clear it's the black women who have low self esteem and take it personally when black men (especially their sons) fall in love with women who aren't exactly like them.  I didn't marry a man exactly like my father -- that does not mean I don't love and respect my father.   Get a grip.[/quote]

I will answer your question, but realize that telling me to "get a grip" does nothing to further the conversation and only serves to piss me off. Why the need to even go there?

If my son fails in love with a white woman, it will be as I said. I will be deeply disappointed. I wouldn't express it to him (or her), but I would be. That's reality and it won't change to make you comfortable.

It's clear that you are white and, as such, don't really have much "insider" knowledge to know what we are talking about when it comes to the mindset of some black men who marry white women. It's possible that you may not even see it, but I usually can guess whether a black man has a white wife without even knowing beforehand. [/quote]
