Black mom here. Let me say this: if a black man wants to date you, nothing I (or any black person) say will change their desires. Nothing. My feelings on this issue should not affect you; just like the white folks on this thread who've said they wouldn't exactly welcome a black SIL/DIL doesn't affect me.

I'm starting to think this is more about outrage that someone would dare "reject" white people. [/quote]

Intellectually, I understand the emotions surrounding why a AA mother would prefer her black son to fall in love and marry a black daughter.  It seems similar to why Jewish families want their Jewish sons to marry other Jewish women but aren't as concerned with their Jewish daughters.

But as a person who was rejected by the family of my Jewish boyfriend (and we were heading toward marriage), it is hard not to question why any family just wouldn't want their child to be happy.  FWIW - I am now happily married with 3 kids but my Jewish ex-boyfriend never married.  I can't help but feel sad for him and I wonder how often his family got in the way of his relationships.[/quote]
