I did a paper on this very topic and the resluts weren't what I expected. Anyway, I don't have a problem with black men who date outside their race when it's for the right reasons - because of genuine interest. My sister-in-law is white. I love her dearly, she's a great mother to my nephew and she doesn't live up to any of the stereotypes about white women. I do have a problem with black men who don't date black women because of our "attitudes" - those men are weak and insecure and no woman of any race should settle for such a man.
As for black women dating white men - I would have no problem with that. I'm not willing to lower my standards for anyone and if a white man meets those standards than that's fine with me. Unfortunately, SOME black men have double standards and have spoken against the idea. I guess it's a historical thing that is in our consciences - black men protecting their women from white men and black women bearing too much weight on our shoulders.
