In some areas of the country, I have just noticed a shortage of available, quality black men. I mean, they don't need a degree and to look like Denzel, but a lot of them just don't respect women (or themselves)the way they used to. Some of them seem to be afraid to treat women too well or something. This is just what I have observed.

The interracial thing is cool with me but as a people we should never feel as though are own arent good enough for us and being to idolize what society tells us is beautiful.

I definitely understand that point. On the other hand, a lot of otherwise good men only date women that can pass the paper bag test, because they consider them the most beautiful. Doesn't that send the same message about us not being good enough as would interracial dating based on society's ideals?
Just wondering,
