I am loyal to African American men--all heights, weights, complexions, socioeconomic statuses, etc. I love my brothas. Nuff said.

"You got your blue collar brotha, light-skinned (dang is that right?) brotha, down for whatever, chillin' on the corner brotha, talented brotha, and to everyone y'all behind bars, you know that Del loves ya!"

I motion that this is a great comment.

Will this be properly seconded???!!!

There is historical and social significance for why many people are "loyal" to a particular race in dating and marriage. And of course there are just aesthetic reasons for a preference.

I think that it's fine to exclusively date a particular race. But don't defend this decision by speaking negatively of another race of men. Nonchalant's post was honest, but it frames her love for men of direct African ancestry around her (negative) experience with ONE white man.

I haven't read this thread b/c this topic just isn't that interesting to me. But if someone came in here saying they don't date black men or women because (insert an HONEST opinion or experience that can be interpreted negatively and lead to "racism" claims, etc.), some people would be up in arms. Maybe that's already happened in this thread--it could've been what the OP typed and it has since been diffused.
