The pe-nis of black men is more…

Some black men do, sure. I’ve known some like that. I’ve also known some who are strictly all about black women.

If that preference for white women is so strong that they’ll completely and totally ignore black women in the process, that’s dating with blinders, and vice versa. Both bother me more than a bit, but hey…as long as the two participants are content with each other, I can’t really say I’m comfortable making it my business to confront either group of men/women. Both extremes are prejudicial, however, and frankly, you’ve severely limited yourself in any possible search for someone compatible.

To make things worse, the acquaintances I knew with eyes strictly for white women would often become visibly irritated with me, simply because I refused to put those same silly blinders on. Why, lol???

It irritated me because even though I was dating a black woman (one whom I later married, btw), I had absolutely no qualms with dating a white woman. Hell, the girlfriend prior to my future wife had been white, and had she not been from a family completely opposed to her dating black men, I could’ve just as easily seen myself with her many years later.

Anyway, I think it’s much to do with exposure. I was raised in a black family, but in a white neighborhood. Because of my classes and extracurricular activities at school, I found myself alongside mostly white kids then. On the other hand, I also had to spend much time at church each week while growing up, which was almost exclusively black. Overall, it wasn’t perfect- and not quite that simple- but today I’m very thankful things shook out that way for me.

Bottom line, I believe that if we weren’t so collectively segregated in this country, we eventually wouldn’t harbor so many assumptions and misconceptions. Get rid of misinformation, you eventually break down barriers. Break down barriers- this discussion and others like it, become a non issue, and our descendants likely wonder what all the fuss was about.
