What do you think about black and white????
My best friend is a black man that I have known for many years. Since I have known him he has only dated women that were either white, multi-racial, and asian. He told me that he does not like to date black women and he gave me reasons for this, He says that black women treat him like they always want something from him (money), he says that they never want to except him as far as him being short (he's 5'4). I have a real problem with this. He has been my friend forever and I love him very much, but this part of him I find hard to except. The thing about this is I have tried to explain to him that he should not judge one whole race by the way some people are in the race act. I think that it is hard for him to except what I say because over 9 years of friendship he has had bad experiences with black women. Nothing I say will change his stereotypes towards black women. I have tried to tell him that I am offended by the way he feels because for I am multi-culltural (mixed with black, white and Native American)and for him to be so close to me it hurts. I don't understand. My question is to the board is what do you think about the fact that some black men really do feel this way about their own women? and Why do you think they feel this way?
