Blacks More Anti-miscegenationist Than Whites

[Al B. Sure!]

I thought you were against making generalizations about racial groups.

it seems he is not... and i had expected better from Chegitz... though most liberals are probably closet racists or at least patronizing racists, chegitz seemed relatively non-racist...

[Al B. Sure!]

the reference to black men liking thick women and white men liking skinny woman... thats a bull**** stereotype that can be disproven ridiculously easily

It's natural for any race to have the desire to segregate. Now that blacks have the chance to in this country, they are doing it.

, and intreracial relationships aside, still mostly are.

How do you figure that? Also, don't you think it's a bit unfair to put interacial relationships aside when deciding which race is the most segregationist?

Chegitz:

That's a crazy stereotype...

I had no idea that miscegenation was a real word before reading this thread. Thanks che!

When you consider all the mainstream encouragement they get towards segregating themselves, is it really so suprising that blacks have more negative attitudes towards interacial relationships than whites? Whites are the main target of 'diversity' propaganda.

For many black men, I think they prefer any white woman to a relatvely attractive black woman.

It only seems that way, because white cultures and Black culture have different ideas about beauty. White men tend to like skinnier women, while Black men tend to like "thick" women. So we look at handsome Black men with large white women and think, "Man, they'd date just any white women."

bah not true...

When I was in the Army, I always found it interesting that the black guys who talked about "black power" all day would get picked up outside the gates each day by their white wives.

For many black men, I think they prefer any white woman to a relatvely attractive black woman. I always thought there were esteem or power issues involved here, which many black women are reacting to.

Incidentally, all parents concerned are content, and there are now five mixed race kids in the clan (2 black-white and 3 Latino-white) - a true sign of the times considering that my family is from rural Iowa.

You ain't just a wolfin'.
Iowan's, what are you gonna do with them ?

She was quite offended when I referred to her as an American.

She that interracial relationships were fine, as long as no whites were involved. Whites just wanted to steal her culture anyway.

Actually, the most vehement preaching about inter-racial marriages I ever heard was from a Korean girl who just thought it was wrong for white people to date outside their race. Everyone else was ok.

Did she think of herself as white or did she think everyone else was ok, expect whites. Just curious

Just another example of people minding other people's
business. It really isn't anyone's business but the couples.

What I've often wondered is, why has there always been so many more black man/white woman couples than the reverse? (As the article pointed out, this is changing, but in the past the imbalance was huge.) The only reason I can think of is that part of the racist stereotype was that black men were sexually superior.

As has been pointed out, the vast majority of inter-racial sexual relations over the years have been white man - black woman. Attending this rapine and "white" slavery were extremely hypocritical notions about white women and black men. Namely, the worst thing a white woman could do was sleep with a black man, even while her husband was giving it to the slave girls, or in later years perhaps sleeping with prostitutes.

Of course people are always intriqued by what they are not supposed to do, and when that forbidden activity is sexual the allure is even greater. Once the penalty black men / white women relationships was reduced (about 10 years ago in some places!) from torture to death (for black men) and permanent ostracization (white women) these sorts of relationships took off.

Much of this has happened during my lifetime, and it has been interesting to witness it. At first it seemed that the only people doing this who I came into contact with were middle class black men (usually ex-servicemen with college educations btw) who teamed up with mousey intellectual liberal white women. (The Guess Who's Coming to Dinner Era) I have several friends who are products of these type of relationships. These relationships seemed quite strong, so much so that though I've met quite a few people who are in them, or whose parents are in them, I can't recall a single divorce.

After these admirable pioneers came the democratization of black man / white woman relationships. This came closely bundled with two large forces in our society, integration and the sexual revolution. In this phase the participants tended more toward the lower classes for both parties, with the comensurate drop in education levels. This movement was much larger, and broader in terms of class however than the one which preceded it. It was not nearly as successful at creating long term stable relationships. Part of this is timing, as the divorce rate and out of wedlock birthrate both skyrocketed in many segments of the population. Part of it seemed to me to also be due to the novelty aspect though, as sexually "liberated" black men and white women often seemed to be drawn by the forbidden fruit. Apparently this is not nearly as enduring a bond.

Now we are in yet another phase, where people are less likely to be enamored of the forbidden fruit aspect while enjoying many more opportunities to meet people of other races in every aspect of their social lives. This is good IMO, and will continue despite the rear guard activities of either the KKK or black racists.
