I was just on a friend's Facebook page and saw she had shared a friend's status that went something like this- I like black people but it doesn't mean I hate everyone else. I am assuming her friend is black. This reminded me of a friend of mine (a black man) who recently said his potential mate would have to be a black woman. I dated a guy once who told me he would never date anyone but a black woman, (he is black). His reasons were admirable and to this day I have a lot of respect for him because of his position.



He explained that for he wanted his children to understand what it is to be black and to be proud of their history, he figured there was no better woman to do this with than a strong black woman. He mentioned some other things as well but I can't list them all. LOL I am open to inter-racial dating, and so are some of my friends. In fact I know quite a few black women who claim, for instance, that white men treat black women like "Queens". A bit ironic you say?

Whatever the arguments for or against we have to understand that people will always have different likes and dislikes. At the end of the day I will date someone who loves and respects me, if he can handle me at my worse, race is a secondary matter.

Would you date someone of a different race...?
