Sweet Del -- good point about race vs. ethnicity. Who knows what my race is since I am of so many ethnicities??
Anyhow, I am primarily Asian (did you guess?) and I have dated black men. I do personally feel some real hostility from black women over this. My black girlfriends that are real close to me could care less. Actually all my friends could care less because I really wouldn't surround myself with someone who would be so offended by that.
I hate to sound cliched but it seems like in this time race is a waste of time. Things are so mixed right now. It's interesting to see just how mixed and segregated the different ethnicities are becoming at the same time. Mixing up for diversity, but everyone wants to get back to their roots (me included) -- it's interesting to see how society is balancing this whole issue.
I actually see a lot of Asian men with black women. I say go for it. If you have something to offer each other, enjoy it. You only live once, right (well, maybe not, according to Buddah . . .anyway)

PS -- Kobe is marrying a Filipina?? Good taste!! (ok, I am biased)
