I'm a black woman and as far back as I can remember I have allways been attracted to white men. My preference takes nothing away from black men, yet the negativity and disapproving looks I get from them I feel is wrong, don't get me wrong I also get it from white people as well. Does dating outside the race really have to be such a negative thing?

I have no idea. As far as I´m concerned, let´s all mix and match so that in a few decades the whole race thing is obsolete. Let´s all be mongrels and proud of that!!

I don't know how it is in the UK, but certain areas in the US, like the deep south people will still cast disparaging looks and cast judgment out of ignorance and hatred.
I for one do not care if a person chooses to date someone of another race, it does not affect me, nor bother me at all. If you find yourself attracted to another race that's your preference and nobody should make you feel self-conscious or feel as if you have to explain yourself.
Date whomever makes you happy and just ignore the sideways glances, judgments and comments...be with and love who you want!

As you pointed out, it a matter of personal preferences . Why you get the feeling that people give you " the look" or send bad vibes ,well who knows, why do you care what people think about your personal choice

Family and friends for some reason think they have the God given right to force theire negative opinions onto you.

It might depend on where you live. I have dated black men, Asian men, and Hispanic men. Never felt like anyone was giving me evil, disapproving looks. It seems odd for black men to be negative and disapproving about you dating white men when so many black men date white women. Racial issues are so stupid. I try to ignore it as much as possible. Small minded people with mean spirits. Try to just ignore them.
