I frequently date outside of my race. At this stage of my life,I just want a decent,loving,loyal man. Those traits transcend race. There are times that I have gone out with White men and have have Black men exhibit anger. However,they have no problems with accepting the Asian,White,Latina women whom Many Black men date and marry. When these men do so,it can have a profound socio-economic as well as negative emotional impact on Black women and the Black community.
Black men according to statistics are Twice as likely to date interracially than a Black woman is.Besides having a preference for Black men,many Black women are reluctant to date Anybody other than Black Men,especially a White man because doing so is still somewhat taboo in the Black community. Black women who adhere to their preferences or who are informed by Black societal norms limit their choices in finding mates.
Yet that "collective,ideological perspective"is problematic.
Why?
Black men are exempt from strictures that are placed on Black women. This then becomes not so much a communal decision to which All of the members of an ethnic group have contributed for its collective felicity but a policy that promotes one faction of the group's well-being above that of another:in this case,Black male hegemony.
Note I stated "in this case." The question I'm addressing necessitates a response regarding interracial dating. However, for me, the issue is more global than that. It's about a double standard imposed on all women. Be it the Burka,having multiple husbands,or the freedom to date whomever.
If age is only a number,why do some people frown on men of 40 or older marrying 8 year olds? If age is only a number why not marry a 100 year old woman even though she probably cannot have any children at that age but the man wants them.
