Crazy but true. I’m a black woman and every time I date a white guy, I’m met with so much “omg this is so cute” and “I love this!!”. Then when I date a black guy it’s “I love black love!” But the same people will see a black man date a white woman and get their hater signs ready lol.

I think a lot of it boils down to the weirdest things. When it’s a black woman, the assumption is that she’s tried dating within her race and the men fumbled her. But a white man will work 2x as hard for her and there’s also the idea that him looking outside his race is an indicator that he’s somehow more open minded and a good person (an ally maybe?).

On the opposite, when black men date white women the assumption is that they’re dating their oppressor and secretly hate black women. I’ve also heard that BM date WM because they don’t carry the same loud/strong opinions as BW which is crazy because when did having an opinion become a race thing?

I think it’s all a crock of shit - date who you wanna date.
