I ask this question because I live in New York and I see a lot of black women with white men recently. I think it is great because you would only see black men with white women. It seems as though some white men like dark skin women more than black men. But hey the interracial relationships is a beautiful thing.

To some people it may be the forbidden fruit attraction. Somewhere in there sub-conscious they feel that it is taboo and therefore it is exciting. I would not say that is the case for all interacial relationships. I am sure the reasons vary; however, I believe that at least some of the relationships are as genuine as any. Maybe it is the romantic in me, but I believe that some interacial relationships are just two people that have gotten to know each other, fell in LOVE, and are pursuing that attraction.

Why do some people like pizza and some people don't, it is a matter of taste.

Within the black community there is often still a degree of beleifs for lighter skin being "prefered.

I much prefer the darker skin, but then I like pespi over coke, and wendy over McDonalds

Thanks so much for the great responses.

I Fink That's Aswel Because If White Women Loveeeeeee Black Men

Maybve White Man Sud Loveeeeeeeeeee Black Women


Im A Black Gyal I Don't Mind Wot Colur You are As Long As Ur A Nicer Person

It is my white husbands fantasy to be with a black woman. For him it is the taboo thing that turns him on but he also finds a lot of darker skinned women attractive.

I think if a white man is going to date a black woman and get all the slack that interracial couples receive, he might as well go for the darkest. The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice! I see a lot of that though, Dark skinned black women and white men

Do you mean that there is a difference other than skin color and (often) social background and level of education?
People like people. Men like women. What has skin color to do with that?
Just yesterday we remembered the murdered Doctor Luther King.
It seems from your question that he died in vain...
.
Just that you know : I am as white skinned as one can be. The only real basic difference between white skinned and dark skinned people is that the first group has to use more sunburn lotion when tanning !
.
Amazing : nothing seems to have changed there across the big pond...
;)

Very well put Credendovidis!

It doesn't bother me except for one thing does a little bit
Where I live many of the teen age white girls are literally obsessed and chase after the black boys with the rappy hood style. They even imitate them with the slang and wearing their pants below their butts. I guess it is no worse than the hippie trend or anything else but it worries me because they jump from one guy to the next and have no idea of having a relationship. I guess it is more that the girls are acting like the guys now that bothers me mostly.
My younger daughter is with a black guy and I even had a feeling when she was two that she was going to be with a black guy. I would never discourage her from being with him. When her dad finds out and flips out on her I plan to have a few choice words with him that he will not appreciate.

Thanks everyone for your great responses in my question.

No thanks to Credendovis. You obviously did not read my question and statement. There was no form of hate or anything in my statement. I am curious about interracial relationships. Is that wong? So how did Dr. Martin Luther kKng die in vain because of my question/statement? Maybe you're the one with hate in your heart. Learn how to read and comprehend before you automatically assume something negative about a statement.

I like dating interracially and I have dated white men in the past and they always have complimented me on my skin. One of my best friends who is irish/italian always talks about his attraction to dark skin women. And YES people do have preferences.
Some people like fat, some people like skinny or curvy, some people like dark eyes some people like light eyes, some people like fair skin, some peolple like dark skin people. There is nothing wrong with people having preferences. So was curious to find out what people think.

Like I stated in my original statement: I live in New York City, the city of diversiy and I see more often now that black women are dating white men(which is great), this was something that was rare. Black men have dated white women from the beginning of time(which is also great).

Not for someone to respond and twist and turn everything I stated.

Thanks again for everyone who responded with positive feedback.

Agreed Gneiss, and I would wager that this hate only exists here and never, never anywhere else, particularly in the hearts of the self righteous who love to take a shot.

I believe that candy can be wrapped in any color box...

gneiss : just your topic question on itself tells me enough.

I do not make a difference between a white and a dark skin. For me there is no difference other than the color. Everything else is the same.
YOU MAKE THAT DIFFERENCE!

I am not curious about interracial relationships. A relationship is a relationship. I do not make any difference between races.
YOU MAKE THAT DIFFERENCE!

Just admit that you were wrong asking that in AD 2008. And don't try to bite me with your nonsensical allegations. Everyone here can read. Including between your lines...

:rolleyes:

I must not be reading in the same context to get the prejudice! :confused:

Me neither NoHelp, someone is out in left field it seems...

Guess we are not reading 'between the lines'
I guess she gets complimented by her white boy friends on her skin being milky white rather than dark skin??

I am confused... such bitterness and anger...

What is wrong with you? Do you search through askmehelpdesk to pick and argument with people? WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME ASKING THAT QUESTION? READ Between WHAT LINES? IT IS CLEARLY STATED. YOU POSSIBLY HAVE A MENTAL DISORDER WHERE YOU NEED TO READ BETWEEN THE LINES AND MAKE UP THINGS. AND NO, I WILL NOT ADMIT THAT I AM WRONG BECAUSE I AM NOT.

When did I make a difference in a bad way? When did I say it was bad? I asked a question. THE WHOLE STATEMENT THAT YOU WROTE ABOVE IS ABOUT YOU. “ I DO NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHITE AND DARK, I AM NOT CURIOUS ABOUT INTERRACIAL RELATIONSHIPS” That is you, great! ASKMEHELPDESK IS NOT ABOUT YOU. WHO CARES? IF I AM CURIOUS ABOUT INTERRACIAL REALTIONSHIPS, WHAT IS SOOOOOO WRONG WITH THAT?

You obviously need someone to argue with. Go home to your husband,wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, dog, cat…and aruge with them.

CAN SOMEONE BESIDES THIS PERSON EXPLAIN TO ME WHERE DID I GO WRONG? WHEN DID I SAY THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH INTERRACIAL REALTIONSHIPS?

Thanks for understanding Stringer and Nohelp4u.
