[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious - all the AA mothers who woudl not want their sons to marry outside of their race - do you feel the same way about your daughters?  [/quote]

I posted earlier about not wanting my son to marry a white woman. I would not have a problem with my daughter marrying a non-white man, but like another poster said, I would have a problem if she automatically excluded black men from her dating sphere.

Why the different mindset?  [/quote]

Successful black men are not as common in the black race as it is in other races. I plan to equip my son with the tools to be a success and I'd like for a black woman to find a husband in him. [/quote] That doesn't really answer the question - why do you assign different expectations to your kids based on their gender?

Also, maybe it's just me, but I'm much more concerned with my kids' happiness than anything else - I'm uncomfortable using them as pawns in micro-attempts at social engineering, or expecting them to decide who they marry based on my desire to right historic wrongs.  The best thing I can do for them is to be open-minded about who they fall in love with, as long as they treat each other well and love each other.  [/quote]

Actually, it does answer your question. Whether you like the answer is a different story. Are you ignorant to the fact that successful black men are not as common as successful black women? Are you aware that successful black men greatly outnumber successful black women?

Meant to say successful black women outweigh the men...[/quote]
