Why white men love the black woman
Ever wondered why some white guys, love black women so much?
It seems that being a white male and proclaiming your attraction to black women (not only sexually, but also romantically) may lead to a lot of controversial and dangerous things. Let’s leave the debate of why more black women may be opening themselves up to white guys. The main focus of this debate is: why some white guys are opening themselves to black women. Let’s concentrate on that.

Most white males don’t feel like they are running short of white women to marry. White males just marry at high rates. So question is: Why black women? The thing is it will not be fair to bundle up black women as one since everyone is their own person… be it in appearance or personality.
However, one thing that a white male friend of mine said… and I let him get away with bundling it all up is: “We love a black woman's confidence, her tenacity and her undeniable achievements in the face of great adversity...᾿ Since this info was coming from a man, there was definitely the mention of the lips, the curves, and that wonderful skin as well.
So what about stereotypes like “black women are either sexually conservative or total sluts?" Many people give so much lip service to interracial dating sites. You would think they have never done it. But those uptight individuals are the ones that spread these stereotypes. What happened to the highly educated black woman? How about the caring, decent and involved black woman?
Probably most white guys and others are confused with the stereotypical trash people spread around and if you are one that falls for such lame ol’ lines, then you sure as hell haven’t dated a black woman.
Bottom line, you don't have to sacrifice who you are for a white guy. They will love you anyway. Just be you and open yourself up… and if you like white guys, some white guy will find you too.

@Queens There you go am trying to really like you because it is of my opinion very few people are willing to work with physically or mentally people let alone children, they are our tomorrow, our future what we instill in them will be what tommorow brings. You are so conflicting in your words though, and refuse to admit it. I made a general comment about white women and you went off on a tangit, now you make again generalization about black women (Of course no response on your generalization from ICH, Get my Point) you can not have it both ways, either it is ok or it is not. I think we all start to change as we get older and as we bring new people into our lives. You as like a few other people on this board feel that they are the spoken expert on this, and though you have much insight into certain things, there seems to be many you have no real insight to. When you are wrong your just simply wrong and when you are right you are just simply right, but may things debated on this blog are debated with feelings instaed of facts, you debate with alot of feeling instead of facts. Let me just give you an example, you stated that 80% of black women are fat, you said google it. Did You? Did you really read it? and understand it? The closest thing that I found to support your statement was an article that said 78% of black women are over weight or fat. Now lets break this down. Fact one over weight means any number over that deemed accptable for someones height that is as little as 1 pound or as much as the number before being considered obese. Fact 2 the article doesn't break down in that 78% what percentage fall in which catagory. Fact 3 the article stats that based off the studies in 30 years or something every person in america that would include you will be obese, it actually states that, now we have just figured out that this study is flawed from that bases alone. Fact 4 the current height weight chart for women are based on the white female look like and what we feel that they should look like. In the military I would say by the charts and this is just me guessing 75% of black females have to be taped for body fat percentage of those 20 might have body fate over the allowable number compared to 30 percent of white women neededing to be taped about 25% of them are actually over. That is because the height weight chart was intended for what white society feels people should look like. I could go on and on about the flaws in the studies. With your education you should know better than to blast a number or percenatge of black women based on some bogus study. Debate not with emotion but with facts. The problem is though if you debate with facts queens you have no arguement because as I have said in the past most of what you put out is truely baseless and untrue.

@ Everyone, those interested in the logic behind some of the nonsenses sprouted by certain people on here should read this extraordinary exchange between these two folks lol Hannes’ said: I think a black woman… have a lot of testosterones, and burn fat faster. There is no comperism between a Black and a white body. The black can reduce weight but still retain muscles. We have Africans in the gym who have no idea about workouts or sports-nutrition. The have no system in their training-plan - but look awesome. Testosterone is the key to everything; Power, youth, fitness, wellness. Friendly13 replied: As far as Black people having more testosterone; I DON'T agree. I have some white girlfriends who can hold their own in the ring. One even played boys football in high school; and the other was one of the stars on the team. White women can be some of the most athletic and adventerous people around. Menelik says: yeah, it's a little-known secret; white females tend to be MORE athletic, muscular, and aggressive, than Black females. It’s the testosterones, you see! Lol Friendly13 said: I will say that I do have MORE testosterone... because I am VERY aggressive. Menelik replies: and very rational, too lol Menelik Charles London England

Anybody who sits on here fussing with black woman all day about the choices they make sounds like a jealous gay man and that's exactly what you sound like; a little bitch.

@ Bamababe, and your pointless, ass-covering response (in which having the final word is all-important) is exactly why you're single today; and generally why African-American women are seen as less-than-female. You really still don't get it do you? Next time you decide to take backward swipes at Black men and white women (was it really necessary?) make sure you can match up to the latter in the feminine stakes... or else just shut up!

Mr. Laureltong Queens See I can't be mean to you now because I respect you for what you do for autistic children...you got me there... You said "Kids with Autism and behavior problems need a male role model..... " You are so right. You know whenever I try to give my boys a haircut it is like pulling teeth. A male friend of mine said "here give me the clippers" They just sit there like a perfect angel and let him cut there hair smiling. There is something about male strength and the deep voice that seems to clam them. Seriously. Okay, one day I took my eight year old to see the doctor. A male nurse with a contralto voice came in to take my son to check his vision. The next thing I knew my eight year old came running into the room and hid behind the table. I said "baby what is the matter" my eight year old said "Mommy that woman is going to turn into a man." Since the man did not have a deep voice my son got confused. He didn't understand that a man can have a high voice too. He saw the face and heard the voice and the two just didn't go together. Isn't that hilarious.

(Eating pop corn) Listening to Bama. I don't know how to twist your words. Perhaps, you regret what you said publicly. That is fine with me. To insist I twist your words. It is kind of comical to me. I don't have to dig into your personal life. Everybody knows black women have a tendency to act like the victim. Please show me a black woman that "blames herself" for her relationship ending. You might never find one. They will never say "they was wrong in the relationship". Just like your arrogance shows. You verified you were or "are" dating two white men. I assume they don't know about each other. I just off of what you say. I would rather you say " you know what I said that". I was "wrong". Instead you trying to paint the picture that I misconstrue your words intentionally. All these sellout black women do this when "you got their ass against the wall". It's "oh Laurelton get your foot off my neck". I didn't even know you were weeks ago. I got no motive to twist your words. As for your assumption that a woman "did" what you are currently doing to "two white men". Um, Na because I don't jump into relationships with women. That is the thing. Black women have a tendency to have "men around". How I look at the game, when I am fucking with a woman out of "the blue". I don't assume she is just having sex with me. I stopped thinking that way a LONG TIME ago. Personally, once I found out what 'she about". I am moving on to the next woman ( I will fuck her until I get tired or she starts talking serious relationship). Women fail to realize men observe everything. I won't reveal the game but trust me we know what you 'about". I play the game within the rules. See, I got nothing to lose getting involved. Most middle aged black women want a man "to stick around". Perhaps, help them financially or whatever the case. You can pull the wool over the eyes of the white boys. If anything, I am talking to more than 1 woman. I just don't brag about it. I am 31 years old. I call the shots. I don't hide or duck what I am about. I don't got time to play games. I will spank a woman and just don't call her again, if I feel like she a "time waster". Don't talk about your baby father to me or your ex boyfriend or you struggling financially. I really don't want to hear it. My momma said "she got no ring on her finger" so why she worrying if you with another woman? The problem with "most women" they assume men are just gullible and after sex. Then, they wonder why they alone at 40 something years old. Why would I be mad you are exploring your options?. That is what they call it now " exploring options" to manipulate numerous men (Smiling). I am going to get on your ass about that last comment about white women. I will be back. I am not holding back this year. I told people this.

@Petite I think it's up bringing. I'm very opininated person because my momma doesn't bite her tongue neither does my grandmother nor my aunt's. We tell it like it is and some people don't like it. Sometimes I find myself trying to watch what I said because some people will take it the wrong way. But I've had white men tell me they love that about sistas. That we speak our minds and never hold back. A lot of white women aren't like that and I believe that's why some brothas like white women because they stay in their place so to speak. Elin Woods is not one of them....lol

@queenie the funny thing about this is you are SO clueless when it comes to women. You still harping on something I said a few months ago trying to twist my words to suit your purposes because I won't confirm or deny anything and that just eats you up. LOL I can tell if a man wants sex too much if he starts the conversation with it or talks about it all the time. Doesn't take a genius to recognize that or me taking off my clothes to see it either. The truth is you speaking from your own experience with women. maybe you got played by a woman you trusted and come to find out, she was not only was seeing you but another dude and she may not even been sleeping with ole boy but you "assume" as you normally do in these cases that she was. See your perception is that any woman that as the NERVE to explore her options (whatever options they are) is sleeping around but I guess that's the kind of woman you are use to dating.

(Walking in the door) See, I was going to leave it alone. Until, you made references to "twisting words". I don't twist a woman's word. How can I twist your words? I am not going to mention names. Let's get something straight here. For you to know a "man wants sex TOO MUCH'. You must be sleeping with him. Number 2 For TWO white men you are "supposedly" dating and CLAIMING you are not sleeping with. Bottom line is, they still do not KNOW about each other. THEREFORE, you are a fraud or a manipulative person. So, we can play "word games here". You can say "oh you don't know if I slept with them". Like my Aunt said "CHILD PLEASEEE"! You just exposed yourself because MOST women will say 'NA I ain't fuck with any of those guys". Black women tell you straight out they never slept with those men! (They don't dance around it). When they ass start stuttering and tap dancing and shit. I just look at them like "look at this big head liar". You are not a virgin so just admit you are getting "back shots" by white men. What the hell is so hard about that? They are "quick" to say, I am twisting their words again! Cutting and pasting "YOUR" WORDS is the shit you said. I didn't make you say it. Oh yea, what's up Tyrant. I am glad you letting them know how you feel. Sometimes, they feel like they can talk to men "any type of way". Anyway, Other Brother, thats cool you coach. I thought about doing that. Kids with Autism and behavior problems need a male role model. I do my best to set the example. As I get older, I am starting to be less selfish. Time to contribute back to your community. I learned not everybody can believe in your philosophy. Nobody ever gave me shit. I had to earn it the hard way in New York. I got less compassion than the average person but I am changing as a man. One of my blog readers said I was getting "soft". Na, my philosophy has not changed on women. They only understand one thing. They don't respect the "nice guy". They only respect men that rule with an iron fist. I mean to "intimidate" to weed out the weak women. I will never apologize because this is who I am. Men are not intimidated by successful women. It is the OTHER WAY AROUND. You all have a nice day. Man, look for that New Blog Album When Tomorrow comes for Sellout Black Women The Myth of Reciprocity Now you can go back to talking about "uh" B actors and Naomi "Shambles", who is a home wrecker, stealing a white woman's husband. I am glad she is proud of herself.

Good morning sistah Bamba! I have to agree with your statement about being accepted for what I am. Ladies: we all have things we can work on right? I do. The thing I think is most important is that we make these attempts everyday. Evaluate what you've done at day's end. Improvement of one's outlook and behavior is an ongoing thing. Then there are some things I don't think we should try to improve. These are some of the things that make us distinctive of one another. I agree we can tone it down. But you know, I've seen it coming from both races. ESPECIALLY where I live now. Question for the sistahs: Do you believe some of our behavior is predisposition, cultural, traditional or a combination of all three? How about societal factors? This I hope will get us into some deep thinking and give men here some insight. Let's keep in mind that we are not, nor are any other group of people monolithic. I see Ms.Friendly as demure and calm. That's kool! I see MsBamba as outspoken and opinionated. That's kool I know PetiteChick is rough around the edges (but only when forced), but otherwise very outgoing. (There's a long story behind me, which I will NOT PUT HERE. Ladies you know why too, LOL. This is a good topic of discussion for us, thanks for bringing it up!

@friendly Yes, I think a whole bunch of colors is pretty wild too. But I've seen some women wear them proudly. It's kind of "busy" atop the head. LOL. Now those I believe are probably wigs. Even though I've seen weave hair in a variety of shades, but typically for braiding and not sewn in weaving. So not for me!

Alright ladies, except Petite I am really trying to respect the godesses wishes and not include her. i am going to bite, what is the big deal with hair? I know many black women who talk negative about other black women saying they are trying to be white or they have white womens hair. What is the big deal? Really I do not understand why a women is worried about what another women thinks about her hair. It is your hair so do with it what you want. My late wife use to braid her hair because she knew I like long hair (I Know just think I might be pathetic because I prefer long hair). However she also knew more important than that was that I wnated her to be comfortable with her hair, so some time she actually would take the braids out and just sport her fro. Imagine this, I still loved her the same. My current wife has long hair, she changes the style according to the weather and guess what I still love her, every sigle time she changes her hair. Micheal Baisden had a show on, i believe yesterday about hair, it totally had me crackin up? Good Day

@Queens You know i do not agree with 95% of what you say, but I respect anyone who works with kids especially physically or mentally challenged challenged kids. do not know anything about Autism at all so I can not really talk about it, I do know i was coaching a football team a couple years ago, one of the mother's told me her son had a slight case of Autism, I thought is was kind of strange as the season wound on because i rode him the same as i did every other kid on theam he seemed to take it in stride. He was a good player who became even better by the end of the season. Of course we didn't do too well as a team, my philosphy as a coach was not all about winning but mnore about teaching and getting the kids not so good just as much playing time. The kids did awesome the really showed a marked difference by the end of the season.

I personally think if you have to bite your tongue a lot he is not the man for you. I'm not saying you got to be LOUD all the time and be confrontational but I would hope and think that the kind of man who'd wants me, wants me to speak my mind and that's one of the things he'd love about me. I've had white men tell me how they like that about sistas.

@ PrettySmart post on 12 May 2010: You said: "Interesting article. I especially like when the author wrote, “bottom line, you don’t have to sacrifice who you are for a white guy. They will love you anyway.” The comments, however, are pure nonsense." You know it is funny, there are some things about the blackness of a black woman that really drives a white man wild. But face it in white people are brought up in a culture that emphasizes the discret behavior of the british. They do not like confrontational women. So that is one thing a black woman will have to modify if she is not already discrete. That means she will be bitting her tongue a lot if she wants him to stay around.

@PetiteChick A whole bunch of colors is pretty wild. Says look at me. It is certainly not for me. I don't understand why women do it other than just to get attention. Perhaps they did it to fix a mistake. I knew a woman who went to get her greyhair dyed black and it turned green.

@ PetiteChick I didn't mean any disrespect to your dad. I am glad you didn't take it that way either. There was a time that I imposed a lot of values on my girls that weren't even my own but just trying to be what I felt people wanted me to be. I forgot all about finding out about what Christ wanted me to be. I didn't let them do anything except go to church: No movies, no sports, no pants, you can't do this and you can't do that. Finally one day I said hey girls you do what you believe is right. They were like whew...it's about time mama set us free. I am just glad they didn't go all wild on me. I was just afraid that they would make the same mistake that I made. Then I realized that even if they did make some mistakes I would still love them just the same. That is what I love about Christ, he never leaves us nor forsakes us.

I heard they are engaged and she is preggers too. My profile pic is on here somewhere with the short hair. I have a texture in mine hair that makes it curly and I think I do rock it well. :) In fact my mom and my sister (who ironcially has Kool-Aid red in her hair) followed my lead and cut their hair short too. Much easier to take care of. All I have to do is wake up, put lotion in my hair, comb it and go. Rain nor heat bothers my hair.

Very good and I'm pleased. Taste the flava of the rainbow ain't good for you? Ha? LOL. Some of it is hilarious. I mean, I'm just say'n. I've seen some stuff on youtube. Crazy... I said oh, maybe this is just for the camera. But it's not. I don't see it a lot, but I was initially like....huh? But they do at least match their hair with their outfits. LOL.

Bamba girl: I have never seen your hair style. Short works. Shoooooot. LOL. I remember when Halle first became all the rage and she had this nice tapered cut. I so wanted it. Lady in the salon told me I couldn't pull that off because I didn't have the right texture. Of course I didn't. Halle is bi-racial so it would stand to reason, LOL. You rock your look? Rock it! That's all. And talk about family? Like I said my father "the Deacon" had a lot of influence over me when I was young. But as I got older, he kind of pushed away from haggling me. Despite it, I know today he thought he was saying and doing what HE THOUGHT was best. Families tend to carry on traditions sometimes whether they want to or not. It was the way he was raised. I understand that today. What's up with Alicia? I just read she might be preggers by Swizz Beats? That's just some gossip I threw in. Alicia is a very talented songstress, writer and musician.

@Bamba Good morning! Thanks for sharing your opinion. I agree with you that it is cultural. And I also believe the other factors play a part as well. Traditional in the fact, that what we grow up with is often times what we repeat unless someone shows us a better way. Trans generational models of understanding family behavior (which includes behavior of women) serve as a good way to understand what causes underlying problems of behavior. Now, I'm not going to be one says behavior is a bad thing when sticking to your beliefs and principles. That's a good doggone thing. Doesn't men everyone will like it and as a matter of fact everyone shouldn't like it. Societal in the fact that as women have to make gains in employment in our society and be recognized for our contributions to society which is patriarchal in structure makes it a societal problems. Traditional roles for men and women are changing. And they are changing faster than many want to admit. Typically you find this in relationships where the couples agree to have partnerships rather the set roles society has led us to believe are the "right" roles. I for one, don't want a partner who doesn't want to include me when making important decisions that affect us both. We share. I'm the "we" that inserts itself in "me." I could never be in a relationship where a man did not respect my opinion or take into consideration what I might think. Gender roles are getting old in our country. They should be - I'm glad they are!
