[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an African woman and I dated a few white men who I knew I would never marry because I didn't want a white husband, white in laws, or half-white kids. I had a couple of years-long relationships with white men, but never brought them home and told them an intro to the family was out of the question. I don't think whites are used to being found unsuitable, so each one was in denial until I broke up with them.[/quote]
As a black women, I think this is weird. You might have some psychosocial issues. You don't repeatedly date someone of a race, you don't want to marry, for years just for fun. I can understand short term flings but for years and then tell yourself it's normal. It's a either a fetish thing or maybe deep down  wanted to marry a white man. [/quote]

Okay, well, I'm glad my post gave you a chance to practice psychology. I don't see what is weird about dating who is around me while knowing I will ultimately marry someone who fits into my family. Many people of minority cultures do this. Africans are less than 2% of the black US population. Maybe what makes sense to you is for all of us in predominantly white surroundings to stay single and date no one until it is time to marry, but that doesn't make sense to us.[/quote]

Unfortunately in the "African American" race better know as Blacks, there is a tendency to look the other way on black males dating/marrying out of their race but the expectation of black women is to only date and marry in their race. I think as an "African" you thoughts and view on interracial dating maybe different from what Blacks experience. I think in your country marrying outside your race is still very taboo.[/quote]
