More black women are dating white men

Interesting news… :smiley:

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA: For years, Toinetta Jones played the dating game by her mom’s strict rule. “Mom always told me, ‘Don’t you ever bring a white man home,’” recalled Jones, echoing an edict issued by many Southern black mothers. But at 37, the Alexandria divorcee has shifted to dating “anyone who asks me out”, regardless of race.

Black women around the country also are reconsidering deep-seated reservations toward interracial relationships, reservations rooted in America’s history of slavery and segregation. They are taking cues from their favourite stars - from actress Shar Jackson to Venus Williams - as well as support blogs, how-to books and interracially themed novels telling them it’s OK to “date out”.

Jones reflects many black women frustrated as the field of marriageable black men narrows: they are nearly seven times more likely to be incarcerated than white men.

National census data showed 117,000 black wife-white husband couples in 2006, up from 95,000 in 2000. There were just 26,000 such couples in 1960. Black female-white male romance has become a hot topic in black-geared magazines and on websites, even hitting the big screen in movies like last year’s Something New.

That film centres on an affluent black woman who falls for her white landscaper, a situation not unlikely as black women scale the corporate ladder, said Evia Moore, whose interracial marriage blog draws 1,000 visitors a day.

It features articles like “Could Mr. Right Be White?” “Black women are refusing to comply with that message about just find yourself a good blue-collar man with a job, or just find a black man,” Moore said.

Thanks for the information. An important topic for Pakistanis to discuss I'm sure. It is always a great concern to us who black women date.

Re: More black women are dating white men

do desi guys date black gals?

Re: More black women are dating white men

yes, never lasts long though amid bhouj and bhoot taunts

Re: More black women are dating white men

Even in Pakistan, people are opening up when it comes to rishta. One of my cousins is married to a janjua (rajput) although we are chauhans(rajputs). I guess my family is still close-minded when it comes to marrying other Punjabi castes like Jatts, Awans, or Gujjars. My own brother was studying at IBA in Karachi and fell in love with his junior who was mahajjir and my chachu wanted to "punish" him.

Re: More black women are dating white men

abhi aisi naubat nahin ayee.. if it comes to dating a black muslim girl, I will rather not marry in my entire life rather than seeing her kala mukhra. I am open to Turkish, Iranian or Bosnian females.

Re: More black women are dating white men

but they are not open to you:hoonh: .

Re: More black women are dating white men

interesting. i thought all desi have enuf sanwali at home so i assume they want goriz :cb:

:hmmm: n if u fell in love with kala mukhra n singing “Sanwali sanloni si mhebooba, teri chorian sherang ker k” THEN WAT :cb:? (ur chacu will beat u too?)

Re: More black women are dating white men

That's the way to give it to the man...

Re: More black women are dating white men

You are putting up with “black Bhabhis” on regular bassis. Our girls are pretty balck themselves, mashaallah. We dont have to go to other communities for that :dhimpak:

Re: More black women are dating white men

Damn I need to step up my game! :mad:

:>

Re: More black women are dating white men

this is disturbing..why was this posted on times of india website???

and then..why did YOU post this?

what does this have to do with the indian/pakistani community?

i could understand if it was about who white women dated..because i know many of our brothers are open to dating or marrying white women

but dont post things to mock or make fun of black women..this is disgraceful

you know very well people are going to make silly stupid racial comments

black women are beautiful just like white, arab, pakistani women..why is there a need to mock them all the time? they are people too..believe it or not

just because our culture has a totally different perception of what is good, what is pure and beautiful doesnt mean we have that authority to poke fun…especially you men…many cultures find african features very attractive

the manner in which this was posted is offensive and i hope the moderators delete this..people will only make racists comments

p.s.
most black women choose to date and marry black men…so dont worry you dont have to “warn” your paki brothers as someone stated because they are not going to come after you..believe me or not :clown:

some people have very sick humor..shame on you all..for being so un-lslamic

Re: More black women are dating white men

U racist.

Kaali larrkian aap pe thooken gi bhi naheen...

What makes you think Turkish, Iranian or Bosnian females will even touch your kaala mukhrra with a 10 meter pole?

Black people have a lot more respect in this country than Pakis, and do you know it's Rajas/Rajputs who spoil our Paki image?

Re: More black women are dating white men

You go girl…

Re: More black women are dating white men

hey there big guy is that a ring-less finger i’m seeing? :faizy:

Re: More black women are dating white men

Nope…The ring is invisible…

Re: More black women are dating white men

I think that AA women had the same reservations and limits on dating outside their color/culture that Pakistani do...while the men don't . Honestly i find much of the discorse similiar...the hurt when the limited numbers of successful educated guys mary out...leaving many single desi girls unmarried...those unmarried women now in their 30s...even 35 plus still refuse to date out. It's sad.
