[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok so you AA moms would rather have Shaquanda (yeah I said it) from the projects who is AA for your son rather than an educated white woman? Please correct me if I'm wrong.[/quote]

Bi-racial PP here. I kinda hope you did not mean to say this.  You have been jumped on and rightly so.  Honestly, your remark about AA women from the projects reflects the negative sterotype. You are bringing SES issues into a racial discussion.  You do know that there are Whites living in low income housing also?

See...the issue is that there are currently more AA women in college (and with degrees) than AA men.  So, it is likely that the AA women that the college educated AA son will meet would be college educated also - just like he is.  What the AA women are saying is that all things being EQUAL - educated White woman vs. educated AA woman - they would prefer that their DS be with the AA one. Having lived with racial issues everyday of my life (from 2 sides), I am not sure why this is a shocker to White people.

It is very naive to think that societal racial and gender discrimination have not impacted the socialization of AA women.  [/quote]

No one "jumped on me" actually and I brought this up as it was an interesting observation to me.  And again...the question was not answered by the AA women it was addressed to.  They refuse to answer.[/quote]

PP here you are responding to.  Perhaps they are refusing to answer because you are adding a variable to the discussion that does not have anything to do with race.  What you are asking is like asking "would you rather have your son with a devil worshipping AA woman than a White woman who is Christian like you are?"

This discussion is about race, not some of the other factors that bear upon mate selection. [/quote]
