Okay. It has nothing to do with the colour of their skin but as you said yourself, the slavers of the
past were
white. It has everything to do with the colour of their skin. You don't know that the white woman the black man dates is a descendant of a slaver. For all you know, her ancestors could have been abolutionists who fought for the end of slavery. Don't let the sins of the fathers in the past taint the world today. By doing so, you only continue to further perpetuate the hate of the past and bring it into the present and the future. Everyone is disgusted with the history of slavery. At least most people are. But you can't keep living in the mindset of that history and the past. My African ancestors were also slaves... many of them died deaths so horrible that I feel sick to my stomach just thinking about it. But I don't hate the white Europeans whose ancestors were the perpetrators of slavery. To do so would only continue the racism and hate. The history is disgusting, but hate or distrust should not be allowed to continue from that disgusting history. By doing so, we are only insulting what the blacks of the past died trying to do. They died for equality and to be allowed the freedom to make a choice and live as they wished.
I know it doesn't make sense to you. It shouldn't. J.B asked the question and I gave my honest answer.
It makes more sense to me than you can ever know or realise. If that is your opinion then that's fine. JB and his ilk also have their opinions and not everyone will ever see eye to eye with them. Just as I don't see eye to eye with your opinion on this particular sub-issue in this topic. I understand where you are coming from, but I don't agree with it.
I think that a black american mans view of a white american woman is different than how a white american man views a black american woman. Thats the (my) difference.
For some yes. For others no. If any person dates another for reasons of having a trophy by their side (regardless of the colour of either of the people in the relationship), then that is just wrong. I have one white friend who is engaged to be married to a black American man. And I have to admit I have issues with their relationship because of how he treats her. He told her that he did not want her to tan during the summer because he wanted her to remain as white as possible and he has also demanded that she bleach her naturally dark hair blonde. Stupid woman did it. On the flip side of that, I have been friends with a black American guy for more than 12 years who's married to a white woman and not once has he ever even referred to her colour or viewed her as some form of trophy or swanned her around as though proud he snared a white woman. He loves her for who she is, not for her colour.
It's also about balance. Black americans are only 12% and look two people have already posted that their grandfathers and fathers are black! Their are more black women in america than black men. Lot of them are in prison, murdered, and married to white women. Not much left for black women. My issue is with history and balance. But balance is the major problem. Not many sisters with white husbands. Lots of black women alone. It's a major problem and I blame black american males and white american women.
And here is the crux of the issue I think. You wish to maintain the black American 'race'. As little interbreeding between the races as possible. You see, I find that to be racist. Even if there were more black men available in the US, it does not mean that they would date black women. As you have admitted yourself, one cannot dictate that one will only fall in love with someone of a particular colour. You can't educate black boys to only look to black women as potential mates because to do so would be disgustingly racist. You can't blame the black male or the white female for the so called imbalance. Maybe colour is not the sole or major concern when they date someone. If it is for you, then that is your choice, but it might not be the same for others. Love and attraction is not restrained by the boundary of skin colour.
I do discriminate against certain things and ideas. But racist......noooooooo
Mmmhmm..
That's a BIG stretch don't cha think Bells?
No. I think I was quite restrained in the comparison actually.
History, Bells, remembers everyone! Yes, they fought for something and died for something that was theirs by birth! I would do more harm to their memory by playing the card "to forget and forgive"! They were soiled! I don't have a problem with anyone wanting to keep their race of people one color. You've never seen me dispute that.
You do realise that what you are preaching is segregation. You don't mind them living next door to one another, just not 'breeding' with each other. So if someone like JB came out and said that white people should not date black people because it would water down their white genes, you'd agree with him? You don't have a problem with people wanting to keep their race 'one colour', but you do have a problem with people not wanting to keep their race one colour. And you aren't a racist? "Nooooooo"...
White people are no less valued than black people or any other race are. We are all the same species. We do have different cultural values and different beliefs though.
No, you just think that white people who happen to be female are less valued if they date a black male because you wish to keep and maintain the superiority of your race in regards to its colour. If we are all the same species, you would not be do disagreeable to a black American man dating a white American woman.
Everytime someone speaks you guys shout RACISM!!! All you're doing is watering down the very Race card itself by applying it where it doesn't belong.
LOL! And you don't? Right...
Name calling isn't necessary.
Where in that previous post did I call you a 'name'? :bugeye: Since you highlighted 'you bitch and moan', I take it you think that I was calling you a bitch? Lordy! When I say 'you bitch and moan', it is meant in the sense that you complain.
White blood is Black blood. Not about the blood.
No, your whole argument is about colour..
And before you ask Baron.....NO.....I don't think segregation is the key....I think all colors can live in peace with each other even if they remain with their own color.
You do realise that that is segregation don't you? By not allowing the different 'colours' to breed, you are in fact segregating them sexually.
