Oh yeah...that's what I get for trying to be friendly sometimes. :p I'm not used to being places where white men are pursuing black women. So I don't automatically act standoffish like I do with black men who I don't want to be bothered with.

Friendly white people + friendly black people + maybe some drinks at a nonthreatening/unassuming (noncolleague) social gathering = usually some interesting comments.

How do you know they have thought that about you? They told someone else?

No, it is more the subtext of some of the other things that they say, and this is without the benefits of alcohol.

I've witnessed this mess myself as well. Men who think like this aren't really going to be much good for any woman, so it's not really a loss. On that bossy thing though...I hate to burst anyone's bubble but I am one bossy, unsubmissive-bordering-on-aggressive and fearless white binch.

ETA: AND I'm the breadwinner of my family as well as handling all things related to finance, budgeting and investing. Try me. :p

I don't know, which is why I try to give them the benefit of the doubt.

I have no idea whether the man is parading her around like a prize or not, so I make an effort not to pass judgment.

I haven't the foggiest, and therefore I make no assumptions about his reason for being with her.



That said, I do WONDER/QUESTION if it is like/love, or if it's something else.

o.k. so you give them the benefit of the doubt, but the question I have for you is, why would a black guy think because he's with a white woman he has a prize?:confused: It just doesn't make any sense to me. Shouldn't he think he has a prize anyway, regardless of what race she is? You just make it sound like if he's with a black woman, he doesn't have a prize, but if he's with a white woman he does. Another question I have for you is, why don't you see a man as man and a woman as a woman? Why the black man/white woman thing?

I've also noticed that when I see a black woman with a white guy, I don't see many stares and snares if any at all. When a black guy is with a white woman though, black women seem to get really mad. I see it all the time. I don't know what the big deal is.

That's the question we all want an answer to.

Goodness gracious! What cotton filled world have you been living in? Seriously. Anyways, I don't make it sound like if he's with a black woman he doesn't have a prize, that's how you read it. I believe that if a man is with a good woman he does have a prize, regardless of her race. However, I will say it AGAIN, some black men think that white women are better than black women and those are the ones that I take issue with. And PLEASE do not ask me why, because I don't know. Why are you so worried about it, is my question to you? I have said on MORE THAN ONE occassion that I am well aware that people find love across races. I have said that this is something I was raised to be accepting of. DSTCHAOS even clarified what I was saying for you...so what's the problem?

Why don't you ask someone next time you see them staring. Maybe you will get the answer that you are looking for. I can't help you with this though, because I don't happen to be one of these mad black women that you claim you see all of the time.

I'd appreciate it if, when you attempt to insult me, you address it to me directly. I deserve at least that much respect.:rolleyes:

I was actually talking about getting an answer from the black men who see white women as a prize.

I didn't know about that part of your post as of why some black men think white women are better. Why? What's the difference?:confused:

I'm not worried about it, but I'm curious to know why? Sounds like some very insecure men to me.

Sorry for misunderstanding you.
