.....Too many movies ignore the "Average Joe" brother and his attempts to land a woman with genuine intentions of seeking love and companionship, often resulting the the brother being slighted by the "sista" for shallow, selfish reasons.
.....Just to add with regards to that "inter-racial" dating stuff: I don't think of what will be happening to average brothers as inter-racial dating, but inter-CULTURAL dating, which is why I wish they had the brother date a foreign woman, even an African or a Carribean woman would have made the same social impact as hime dating a white woman.

I see some of your points, especially the "man-gina" point in many movies (Tyler Perry movies have manginas all through them, and it drives me nuts. I don't think I'll watch any more of his movies). But, I also see in your response some resentment towards African American women in general, especially when you talk about inter -cultural dating. I agree with TonyB06, you probably need to be more discriminating with your choice of dating partners or mates, because if you think that the issue with African American women is their "culture" then you have simply chosen some "low-culture" African American women. This is the issue I have with brothers who want to generalize the sisters, and vice versa. Let's not generalize so much and do some critical self-examination. I think it is in self assessment, we will begin to lose some of the animosity that drives many black romantic relationships to the grave.
