[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why when a Black woman expresses her concerns, fears and desires the immediate retort is that she must have a chip on her shoulder. Did you actually pay attention to their concerns.

What about the white  women who came right out and said that they would not want their daughters to marry a black man.  Those individuals were not diagnosed and labeled.

Instead of getting into your feelings, why don't you try to listen. Some of the reasons were plausible, if not acceptable.

Ultimately I want my son to be happy and in love. If he falls in love with a white woman, hey he fell in love with a white woman and the mother of my future grandchildren. However, as has been mentioned repeatedly, if he seeks out a white woman, at the exclusion of all others, just because she is white, well yeah I have a problem.  I think if your daughter or son sought out a Black man or any other race at the exclusion of white, you might also take pause.

We WHITE women that you quote were making of the racist AAs on this thread. Oh, and I guess Barack Obama's dad had inferiority issues or low self-esteem. [/quote]

Not the PP, but I think your are missing her point. Historically, in the mainstream media and society in general, demure White women have been considered the lighthouse of beauty.  And for the most part, AA women, with few exceptions, were stereotyped in the opposite way. It is changing now but this is a recent change (within the last generation).  Even now, the FLOTUS (who is amazing) is called a gorilla by some ignorant fools.  Amongst some circles in the AA community, women believe that it is self-hate to choose to mate with someone who is perceived to be the cultural opposite of your own mother.  To most AA women, it is not a matter of who the DC falls in love with, but a purposeful put-down of AA womanhood.  Add to that the notion that are not enough "eligible" AA men for all of the "eligible" AA women and that just incites the issue more.

It is hard to conceptualize and explain, because it is a socialization issue. [/quote]
