[quote=Anonymous]Holy crap, this is disturbing.  How incredibly bigoted.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the AA posters, can you please explain the low self esteem thing. Does this apply to all men dating/ marrying outside their race, AA men with asian women or just AA men with white women? Sounds like poppycock to me. How can you generalize so much? Maybe its true love, maybe its that they dont want the weight of your chip/ insecurities on them.... how can you know why 2 people end up together? [/quote]

This is not a one size fits all thing. But in my experience:

-Black men who date white women (especially those who exclusively date white women) are not manly. They have probably been rejected by black girls growing up for being "soft, nerdy, etc" and grew resentful about these same girls wanting "thugs". They form their opinions of black women off of their experiences with black girls and because they feel they will never measure up in the "manly" department, they reject black woman outright and date white women. These white women usually view black men as manly (because white men in comparison have been stereotyped as not being as masculine).

-Some black men date white woman because they view them as easy catches and/or easy to get over on. They probably come from a background of strong, aggressive, loud black women and want something completely opposite. Rather than realizing that black women are not all the same, they go the other direction and seek out white women because they feel they would be more submissive and/or meek.

-They want to reach a higher socio-economic ladder. Let's face it...if you want to get ahead and be successful, you need to have connections. Being black will only get you so far; to reach and mingle with the higher echelons of society, you need to get in good with white people. What better way for a successful and educated black man to go even "higher" than marrying a white woman who can get him to this level of access?

-They equate having a white woman with being on equal footing with a white man. In a society where you grow up thinking/believing that white men "have it all", being able to date/marry a white woman proves you've "made it" and are equal with white men.

These are just a few examples off the top of my head. [/quote][/quote]
