Are Black Men MORE prejudice when it comes to dating regarding skin color?

Dewayne I never said I could not stand you, I was not thrilled with some of your antics you pulled on me last year, but I have always like you --I always forgive and forget, and I AGREE we can't help with the complextions that we were born with, this is my whole issue why do some BLACK MEN make an issue of this..when other races do not...that was my whole point of my post.

I wish I had read this before I responded to the post about Tameka Raymond.

I look pretty much like my avi (she is my inner child).

While I have a preference for darker brothers, darker Americans have never really found me atractive.  I tend to attract more light skinned brothers, white, and Latin American men.  The exceptions are dark brothers from the Carribean, Nigeria, Ghana or other West Africans nations. 

I hope there is a dark brother out there for me.  If not American, with his green card in hand, lol.  But, I can be happy with a light one too. 

I have a body type preference. Skin color  doesn't matter to me. I am glad more Sistas are dating white men. May be now bros can date who ever they want without the automatic hate. From some of our sistas.

"May be now bros can date who ever they want without the automatic hate. From some of our sistas."

Dude. obviously you've never heard of double standards. lol

@ I am glad more Sistas are dating white men. May be now bros can date who ever they want without the automatic hate.


WOW! What a sad statement!

Ok, now you've touched on a sticky subject with me. I have dated interracially & have no problem if you do.  But, why are a lot of black men so hypocritical about it?  A  lot have a "do what I say, not what I do'mentality about the interracial dating thing in regards to black women.

 I don't know how many times I & others I know have been called to the carpet by family members & complete strangers about dating ir, when they do.  I've had dudes come up & chastise me about ir, when they are dangling a white or asian girl from their arm, right then & there.   It's like we're not good enough for you to date, but yet you don't want us to date anybody else either.  What gives?

DEMAN....I am glad to hear that SKIN COLOR does not matter to you, but I was shocked that it DOES matter to SOME brothas, I guess he thought I was much lighter than my pics, which I am lighter in the winter he just caught me at the wrong time during summer and I was a bit darker, I would NEVER in my wildest dream would have thought color meant so much to black people -- of ALL people..LOL

And your comment about sistas starting to date more white men -- Maybe now bros can date who ever they want without the automatic hate., I think your statement is a bit sad, because MOST SISTAS could care less of WHO black men date and marry as long as they are happy, what really made a LOT OF sistas angry about 10-20 years ago was when black men seem to have made it career wise they would go out and find the biggest fattest nastiest low class white woman and parade around with her as if she was some type of trophy..when in fact this made a lot of  black women sad and left their dating pool a bit more narrow, not necessarily angry, but sad of the SELF HATE.

I really admire Obama for his love for his dark skinned wife, hopefully this would be a more wake up call for a lot  of brothas....
 
But again in my eyes love has no color but when people go out of their way to date the other race, it think that becomes problematic, did I try to find a black men --yes and no I tried to find a GOOD man and that is what i GOT

Im one that fed into all of the stereotypical nonsense about  lighter being better and so forth as a child. So quite naturally being the darkest  ( and shortest coincidentally ) among my childhood friends and family -  I just always felt inadequate........ 


Today nearing 40 yrs of age.....Ive learned to embrace who I am and play up my assets.  Which ironically enough one of them is my complexion.  I've discovered  Mac and I absolutely love the fact that I can wear all kinds of colors on this chocolate skin tone. Im talking pinks, orange, beautiful rich browns, natural neutrals, golden bronze,  shimmering silver and deep berries.  Woo hooo  !!!  

I always get  all kinds of positive feedback and flirty calls from men and women from every shade of the rainbow.  And in return I humbly say thank you because that means alot to a girl who just didnt always feel as beautiful as I do now. 

As for what I like...I am attracted to it all ......depending on the heart of the person. My sweetie is alot lighter than me and we look dayum good together because of the compliment of the complexions but  Ive loved and adored many a chocolate person too.  

I guess my shallow experiences as a child made me able to see people for what they are and not for what they look like cause I was always trying to prove myself worthy.   Glad to realize albeit late in the game that I was worth it  all along.  And that the people that passed me up cause of my complexion lost out on a good thing.  Poor poor  fools.....
 

I feel this piece. I swear I've wanted to date outside my race for sooo long. No offense, but I am so tired of black men with no ambition. A lot of black have this double standard where it is okay for them to date white men, but when a sista dates a white guy "oh hell to da no". Once I reach my goal weight I think I will have the confidence to date white men. I like the fact that you said white men don't like their women too skinty or too big.
