1 Race is all personal prefference when it comes to people although race shouldn't matter it does to some. Those people are generally very close minded individuals. To answer in my own thoughts, no, race doesn't matter at all. When you find that person that is willing to give you a chance and you connect on every level...Nothing matters, be it race color or size.

2 I don't think that race should be an issue for a relationship. The only thing that can be a problem is that different races have different history and customs. I think as long as both people recongize and accept the culture and customs of the other race, both people can be happy together.

3 Seeing a black man with a white female does not bother me at all. People should live happy lives and in this life not every person will find true love/ real love with the opposite sex. So, love has no color, it is a gift from GOD to be able to really love someone. If a black man has found that gift in a white female, then instead of being angry, just celebrate the fact the he's found that special person.

You are new and so do not know that this has been talked about to death. It really depends on the individual preference and should only concern the parties involved. Get ready as you might get some responses you were not expecting. In the future before you post a thread, you might want to put the subject in the search function and see how many threads have been started on the same subject. From experience on DH, people hate redundancy. Good luck.

You know I almost posted that very point that if you answer YES it does matter then you are automatically labeled racist. That's totally not true. Race is a matter of preference just like some don't like short people, brunettes, skinny, heavy, etc. Before anyone says it is racism let me pose this question. I as a white woman am proud to be white just as I've seen blacks and other races proclaim how proud they are to be so. Why then if we are so proud of the race we came from are we so quick and ready to hook up with someone from another race? Things that I care about and am proud of I try to preserve. While I agree that no race should be touted as more important that any other, I think it's a shame that traditions, cultures, and beliefs are being stamped out b/c the lines are being blurred. Why can't everyone just accept what everyone else does and live and let live? If some want to stay w/i their race that's okay and if others want to date outside of it that's okay too. What is not okay is giving someone hell and labeling them for either of the choices they make. JMO

Our preferences/tastes are not something we get to choose the same as we don't get to chose gender, hair color (well kinda), eyes, height, etc. Really, the world would be a boring place if we all chose the same things. Diversity is a wonderful thing.

This would depend on the reasons why race matters. Being attracted ( or not attracted ) to a particular race is not racist. However there are some people who may not date a certain race ( whether it's white, black, Asian etc ) due to false and negative generalizations.

Your point is true but many are accused of being racist no matter what their reasons are or even whether their reasons are known or not. Even if someone didn't date a specific race or all races other than their own b/c they had a false sense of others as a whole does not necessarily make them racist but uninformed and maybe out of fear. I think the term "racist" is too easily flung out as a generalized label instead of people taking the time to find out why people feel the way they do. It's very easy to assume and most of the time when we assume we are wrong.

Having a preference...being attracted to one particular race...is NOT racist!

Everyone wants to have the right to their own preferences, but not to anyone else having the same option. When it gets downright ridiculous is when someone has to DEFEND their preferences!!!!

I have a preference. My fiance is a tall, blond, slender, blue-eyed German/Scottish man with broad shoulders and strong muscles. Does that mean if I don't dump him and instead find a short, overweight, dark-haired, dark-eyed, African-American/Hispanic/Eastern Indian/Arabic/Native American man built like a pear and unable to lift himself out of his recliner then I am RACIST?

Give me a break.

This is about the 60th time that I have written in a post like this. In Cincinnati Oh or the bronx, it might not matter, in norther arizona rockville IN and quite a few places it does matter. Although we have come leaps and bounds in the past 100 years the fact is people are afraid of what they don't understand. We would love to think that people are tolerant but they are not. A few weeks ago I made someone mad on this site and he called me the N word and then said he was the white boy that my mom told me to fear.

As for relationships, personally the height weight color thing has never been a factor. I date someone based on how they treat me and if there is an attraction. Beauty comes in a lot of different packages, for someone that is looking it is never what you think it's going to be.

As a race of people, once we change our attitude and perceptions we will change our lives.

Good luck young Jedi, I hope that you find what you are looking for

I feel just like this. I don't have a problem with interracial relationships. To each his/her own. Personally, I have never found myself attracted to black men. For me it's just a matter of what I find attractive. I have also never found myself attracted to females, red heads, or guys shorter than me. That's just me, so far.

I may be way off base here but my initial thought when I read this post wasn't so much that he wanted to stir up a controversy as much as he wanted to #1) put himself out there to get noticed and #2) to let others know his feelings and preferrences for the sake of perhaps knowing who not to message. Like I said, I may be way off base but the way I'm looking at it now, if a black man, red head, or a guy shorter than 5'4" looks at my profile and is interested enough to see my posts he might see the topic of this one, check out my responce and then probabley move on. Thus saving us both the ever dreaded "thanks for your interest but..." responce.

Then I lived in the west dated a Latino it was cool but believe or not had a man Latino man call me a n I laughed my a** off cause I thought to myself I've heard that before so many times don't even faze me not one bit just don't care. I seem to like women that can speak well dress well work and know about things happening in the world. Most of the time these women are white or Asian. I really hate pushes women that's just much for me. I’m a little picky but when you meet women that have the whole package well most of them it’s hard to go back ward I just need an upgrade. So what does this have to do with race well I'm upset that most of the time I like a white women over black women and most of any race the one I tend to like does not like me. I would love to date a black women but I seem to be different from the ones I like do I just settle for something that will end well I say f that. Still freaking looking….

Well I ask the ? because I'm new to this and I happen to like all kinds of women I have some friends in my actual life that really get pissed at me about it. White and black it can become a heated talk but it has never stopped our friendship ever. I can't stop loving my friends for what they was taught I think it's really hard to let go of things your family put in your head I never had to go through that. And than I have A lot of black friends mostly women that cannot even stand the ideal and I think that's sad but since my sisters are black I feel the reason I just think you have to move on cause it takes powering your self up than I also get pissed cuzz some of my black femal friend will not date a ups driver or a mail man some one that works in a ware house but they'll date a
f ing drug dealer with not even one legal thing going on in his life I say at least if he was trying to get out I could understand but dam wtf good guy or stable men don't have a fnc ... ok I'm pissed my bad..

The informed answer to your question would be because, scientifically, we all come form the SAME genetic tree. The CLOSEST living genetic relative to the proverbial "Adam" is a small tribe in Africa. THEY are OUR (white, black, asian, american indian, etc) most distance relatives. Genetically, white and black people are the closest of ALL the races. It's mainly due to geographical location. It takes 20,000 years for black people to turn white and vice versa, based on geographical location.

Culture can only be preserved through an exchange of knowledge. It's not based on what you look like. This is obvious.

Our exteriors are mainly based on our genetic adaptations to our environment. Mixing together means nothing besides strengthening the adaptability of the children born from it. We, basically, all have the same original genetic material.

However, people will hold on to their beliefs, even if they are based on falsehoods.

Well I ask the ? because I'm new to this and I happen to like all kinds of women I have some friends in my actual life that really get pissed at me about it. White and black it can become a heated talk but it has never stopped our friendship ever. I can't stop loving my friends for what they was taught I think it's really hard to let go of things your family put in your head I never had to go through that. And than I have A lot of black friends mostly women that cannot even stand the ideal and I think that's sad but since my sisters are black I feel the reason I just think you have to move on cause it takes powering your self up than I also get pissed cuzz some of my black femal friend will not date a ups driver or a mail man some one that works in a ware house but they'll date a
f ing drug dealer with not even one legal thing going on in his life I say at least if he was trying to get out I could understand but dam wtf good guy or stable men don't have a fnc ... ok I'm pissed my bad..


OP, you can't take anything personal that's posted on threads you create. There are going to be haters bashing every topic that's created. It's not you personally...it's just how it is.

Our exteriors are mainly based on our genetic adaptations to our environment. Mixing together means nothing besides strengthening the adaptability of the children born from it. We, basically, all have the same original genetic material.Also, look up "The Real Eve" (a program from Discovery Channel)


No matter what our exteriors, no matter our genetic makeup, we still ALL are individuals with individual preferences that we didn't choose. It don't make any of us wrong or right b/c of the preferences we have. It just makes us all different.

Amen, race has never mattered to me. Prejudice and ignorance does, education dispells both of these but it is within a person's mind that these are broken or fed, it all depends on which mindset we feed ourselves, what we choose to believe and make into our own thinking.

yes and no.....yes because i know most girls prefer the nice white guy with the nice smile over a guy like me, who is black...but then there are females that prefer other races over others...so then at the same time it doesnt matter since there is most likely someone that loves the race that you are..but what if you are mixed?? im mixed with black, white, peurto rican, italian, nd indian...nd im not bad looking so does my race matter then??

I don't think that's necessarily true.

So are you saying you would be willing to date someone that was NOT a clown?

Think about the poem that I learned in elementary school and it may shed some light to your understanding:

Jack Sprat could eat no fat
His wife could eat no lean
And so between them both you see
They lick the platter clean


EACH INDIVIDUAL HAS HIS/HER OWN LIKENESS AND KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT HE/SHE WANTS.

Quote from dixonwink:
1 Race is all personal prefference when it comes to people although race shouldn't matter it does to some. Those people are generally very close minded individuals. To answer in my own thoughts, no, race doesn't matter at all. When you find that person that is willing to give you a chance and you connect on every level...Nothing matters, be it race color or size.

2 I don't think that race should be an issue for a relationship. The only thing that can be a problem is that different races have different history and customs. I think as long as both people recongize and accept the culture and customs of the other race, both people can be happy together.

3 Seeing a black man with a white female does not bother me at all. People should live happy lives and in this life not every person will find true love/ real love with the opposite sex. So, love has no color, it is a gift from GOD to be able to really love someone. If a black man has found that gift in a white female, then instead of being angry, just celebrate the fact the he's found that special person.


SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?



To some people race does matter and to some it doesn't. The real question is does it matter to YOU?

Regardless of what everyone else thinks, you're going to have to make the necessary sacrifices if you want to date a white woman.

.....ESPECIALLY IN CINCINNATI!! Cincinnati is like jim crow without the signs. A lot of segregation and racial tension. I lived there for about 10 years (I was in the middle of the 2001 riot when that teenager got shot by a cop- which happened a lot). So I know if you date a white woman in Cincinnati you're going to get grief from the black and white community.

The racial tension in Cincy is one of the reasons why I had to leave.

Race does not matter it is their cultural people may have that they may need to adjust to what I dont like is when a black man feels he has to put down a sister to validate him self for wanting to be with a white women when in all reality he has yet to be with every black women so to say because a sister wont do this or that he cant say that is true
If he wants to be with a white women than fine good that is his choice and let it be at that

In a nutshell, whilst individually it may be stated it does not matter, I think in the end it does, if this were not the case then we would not have the ethnic enclaves we find we do. This is not always based on colour, but on religion and culture as well. Often what gets labelled as racism is not but xenophobia. All humans have a sense of belonging and many cultures are not willing recipients of outsiders merely because they fear the dilution of their ethnicitity, cultures and traditions. Yes we mave love outside these restraints, but will the relationship be accepted by family, peers and our society, in some cases yes, in others No and that almost remembers one "stateless". You may say people have each other even if their union is not accepted, but what about the children that stem from that union, they are seldom recognized by either side.
Many races frown on relationships outside their society. The Euorpeans are known for it, the African tribes feel the same even when of the same country. You find it within religion too. The expression of birds of feather flock together does not stem from freash air and for the most it is found throughout nature. Lions do not mate with Zebras.

Race should never matter. I would hope people are beyond that by now.
