I Don't Date Outside of My Race... - Page 14

PhrozenGenius · #1 03-15-2007, 11:37 AM

While I (like my role model Michael Eric Dyson) LOVE BLACK WOMEN TO NO END, I am not necessarily limiting myself to simply black women. WhileI have only dated outside my race once, I must admit that I can be attracted to a variety of mental/physical attributes and ethnicities.

What I'M MOST CONCERNED ABOUT are whether or not she will be a good mother, a good helpmate, and whether or not she is caring and understanding enough to support my ambitions and chase her own.

Plus she gotta have pretty feet and good credit too...

troy86,

I just read what you wrote and I truly have to believe that you are not a black man. You must be someone pretending to be a black man just to get a rise out of those who would respond to your post. And truly, a black man who knows himself, would love the package that comes with being a black man...to include the various hair textures that we black folks are born with, as well as everything else that comes along with us being...us.
I'm not trippin' on who you date or fall in love with, but rather, I'm trippin' on you denouncing our genetic parts, and a black man, just wouldn't do that.

I must render this thought. I believe that the grand issues that are parriah like, plaguing our race, does not exist in the hearts of black women, but moreover, find their truest conflagrations deeply embedded within the guttural regions of the black man's sense of consciousness. Hence, the Sambo syndrome is in full affect...if indeed that person was a black man. I doubt it though. Nuff said.

It appears as though Trollquan may have a mouth filled with rhetoric. I don't get it...

A black African and black American can have tension if they act is if being on different continents constitutes huge differences in the "type of black" that they are rather than seeing themselves as part of the African diaspora. And if this is fueled by ignorance of black African and black American experiences and culture, it can be intrusive.

I assume you are a "white Latino" (in layperson's terms

) so it makes sense that this would translate into "racial" differences (rather that just cultural and ethnic) in your family's eyes. In this country and in Latin American countries, there is a great social divide between groups of people based on the color of their skin, features, and hair texture. So things like attractiveness and social status (i.e. the white privilege that people of European background receive all over the world) will be based on that. If you date someone of the African diaspora, familiarity with each other's "culture" would have to include acknowledging and discussing this without being too consumed with it.

^^^^Actually I am a Mestizo (White/Indigenous), but folks mainly recognize the "White" side, my family is darker, has different hair texture, etc. a lot of Latinos still have the "White is superior" mentality that has been fed...regardless of one's own background (e.g. Black Latinos denying their African heritage or downplaying "Black" features and praising "White" ones).

I am very into other folks' cultures, race/ethnic discussions, especially Africana culture, the lady I am seeing right now actually have a lot of discussions on race, thus we are very open to talking and learning of each other's cultures, though I do understand there needs to be that level or respect in educating yourself about someone else's (e.g. if someone thinks that experience is the only way to understand things, then I can't say otherwise).

I figured there had to be some reason your family saw dating people with more of a European background as dating "in group."

Thanks for the insight.

There was a special on PBS recently about this issue in Brazil. Very sad state of affairs. If I find a link or article, I will post it.
