I hesitated to post here, but this is my 2 cents. I find it amazing that so much studying is going on as to why our race dates outside the race, when we are still the statistically lowest group (both BM and BW) to go there. I mean, we live in an integrated society, gosh darn it..It’s going to be a byproduct of this. I’ve never heard any study about why WM date Asian women and vice versa. I’ve never seen a study on the amount of Latina women or Middle Eastern women or men who date outside the race. Yet, we are always the ones when the media shows images of interracial relationships, like we are the poster children of it or something! I have many Black and non-Black friends. And my non-Black friends never get into these discussions on the level that we do. If they step outside their race, it’s gravy. If not, so be it. Of course they have the same issues of parents/family accepting this non-member of your race SO, what will the kids look like, etc. But it just never gets this deep. And I really hesitated to say this (please don’t throw stones), but I feel like many movies about the state of BM/BW relationships are about to crop up. It started with the Tired Black Man, which may have been an excellent movie (according to RR, Adequate and SummerRain). However, I feel like this topic is about to get exploited to the fullest, and not all movies will examine from a positive aspect like TBM. And I have the feeling that most of the patrons will be BW! This is a mighty industry. Aspiring filmakers, ready, set, shoot

Coco, sweety, girlfriend, honey child...you think too much
I agree this will simply be a new topic to exploit, angry and lonely black women, it all makes for best selling books and movies. While I do think the movie brings up some valid points that all women could learn from , I really can't get past some of the huge generalizations and hateful comments made by the film makers and his members about black women. I also think to some degree it's being played up to divide and distract black ppl. The good black men are convinced we either don't exist or don't want them and the good black women are convinced that good black men don't exist or don't want them. It's sad, both sides are running around like chickens with their heads cutoff.
When black ppl do something it's always a big deal.
You must understand, when Latina or Asian women date white men it's because they feel in love, when black men do it it's because all black women are loud, fat, mean, wear weaves and have baby daddies. When black women do it it's because all the good black men died out hundreds of years ago and the good genes now circulate only amongst white males
I'm kidding, but I do think it's intensified by some individuals that date inter racially for reasons of self hate or internalized hatred, however I still think much of this excitement is ridiculous. The percentage of black men that marry white women is so small that I really don't see the purpose of being distressed or assuming the motivation behind why those two individuals got together unless you know them personally.
With that said, if black dude across the street wants to date purple or green people then by all means, I say knock yourself out.
Because you're bound to come out learning some useful explanation that you can use as thesis statement for a research paper!!!!
I don't even argue with them, I just be like, "Yeah you're right!!!"
