burning 4 revenge Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Both counts...Amen to that.....I would like to see Alan Keyes as President...also Jaquilyn Kennedy Onassis and Martin Luther King an imbecile and two dead people, what a bizarre political perspective Link to post Share on other sites
pureinheart Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 True...I didn't think of that. (namely because that was way before my time) My Gran is almost 100 years old. She grew up on an indian reservation. From her point of view, anything we (and by we I mean anyone who is going through anything period) is pretty minor. Next time I see her, I will ask her what it was like being a woman back then. She has never really mentioned that, just what it was to be an Indian. Wow...almost a hundered....what a lady! What tribe are you and your Gran from ? My grandson is from the Tatavian Tribe. Link to post Share on other sites
Lonestar Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 why? you think that they think i'm white? maybe i should change it You mean... you're not white?? Link to post Share on other sites
lasan Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 She was from the cherokee nation in Oklahoma. I have a whole bunch of Indian going on. My grandmother was full-blooded. the man she married was a black/indian mix. My mother said her relatives kind of spurned them, said they were too dark. My fathers grandfather was born into the blackfoot tribe, but his father was black. He married my greatgrandmother, who was a very mixed heritage woman who could pass as white. (so can my father and non-adoptive sister for that matter, somehow I ended up being the only chocolate drop) *edited to add* crud I meant to quote you Pure. Link to post Share on other sites
lasan Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Sigh, and that should be IS fullblooded, she is still very much with us! It's night night time for me, I am losing the ability to form complete thoughts LOL. Link to post Share on other sites
NoIDidn't Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 This thread is still funny. I really appreciate the brothers for "representing" themselves here. I had to add the themselves because all too often one black person's actions are assumed to be the way that we all act. We only represent ourselves just like everyone else. I don't think that Alpha is racist, though. A lot of inaccuracies about blacks have been stated, but I don't think that is racist. How do we (black people) expect other cultures and races to get to know us as we really are if we run from their questions and curiosity about us yelling "you're a racist" all the time? Not blaming anyone here, this is a rhetorical question. However, racism is alive and well. It is usually those that do not experience it that claim it is dying. Blacks of any culture are a proud people. We simply see no point in pointing it out every single time we experience it. I experience it daily when I go to the gym, when I go grocery shopping, h*ll when I go shopping for anything. Mostly where I live, though, its the "we don't want your kind here" stares, grunts, and rolled eyes. Its not just poor minorities that get hated on, its us well-educated, and economically sound ones too. (And I know the previous sentence wasn't the best use of my education. LOL!!) I get the "oh, you can put together a complete sentence and think that I should respect you now" treatment all the time. Or the "oh you bought a house in my neighborhood and now you think I accept you" treatment too. I try to ignore it, but it hurts to be maltreated for nothing but my beautiful dark skin ( or sometimes my child-bearing uterus LOL). Do carry on. This thread is interesting.

NoIDidn't Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Hey lasan my great-great-grandmother was Cherokee too. Princess Running Rabbit. She married a indian/black man from Guyana and later my grandfather was born. She was shunned too, as the kids were too dark. My other great great gran was Irish and married a Jamaican. Again, the family wrote her off for having dark kids. How do I find out where my gggrandmother was from as I have her tribal name? Link to post Share on other sites

When people see me as a single parent, they almost always assume I have a babies daddy out there, and I have 7 other kids at home, the first of which I birthed as a teen mom while I was smoking crack.(hate to disapoint, but I got married, and made a baby, allwhile crack free!) I have actually had people say "Oh Lasan, you speak so well.". Why thank you! The Massa let me get sum edjumacashun since they dun went and freed da slaves. Link to post Share on other sites

No idea honestly, I have never had to look for anyone because my Gran keeps an insanely long family history.

LexiB Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 A lot of inaccuracies about blacks have been stated, but I don't think that is racist. How do we (black people) expect other cultures and races to get to know us as we really are if we run from their questions and curiosity about us yelling "you're a racist" all the time? Not blaming anyone here, this is a rhetorical question. excellent point. in my everyday life when someone says something silly like a few of the things that have been mentioned here, I just correct them. I find that *decent* people generally want to be informed and are quick to accept the new information...often even apologetic for their misonceptions as well. This is how I am when I meet people of other cultures ~ cultures that I thought I had pegged. When someone dodges the truth however and continues to feed into the same stereotypes after being shown proof of their falsity...ugh. well that's when I put them on block ~ online and for real. People who fit the latter description simply aren't worth any more energy than that IMO. But as for the main topic of this thread, I think that aside from genuine attraction to the person, the trend ur seeing of white women and black men could just be curiosity on one or both parts. As a previous poster suggested, dating a black man could just be on a dating "to do" list for the women and vice versa for the men. Just like many women might wanna experience dating a rich guy, a starving artist type, a bad boy, etc...nothing wrong with that Link to post Share on other sites
Author Dadaal Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 So sad and so boring to accept that the main topic of this issue is diverted! Please, focus on the main issue that initiated the burning question. Happy new year to all of you! Link to post Share on other sites
puddleofmud Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Back to the original topic: I don't question bi-racial dating/ couples / marriages/ children because I don't see the point in analyzing the behavior. It's not as if the behavior / situation is reeking havoc upon all humanity so what could the issue be? Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder... Link to post Share on other sites
pricillia Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Not all white women like black men, but for those of us who do it is just a preference..... maybe they are more outgoing and go after what they want hence they get the girl before the more cautious white man..... I have found them to be warmer in personality who knows maybe I am just projecting.... To the OP if I said that they are better in bed that would just be my personal experience.... but I am not a good guage as I have not been with many men... so I am not sure it could apply...

alphamale Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Not all white women like black men, actually its a very small percent that do...maybe like 2 or 3%. Bird of a feather tend to flock together. You may be seeing a lot of younger black-white couples but you don't see a lot of older black-white couples. Causes too much friction.

Older?? how old are we talking here, and why in your opinion will it cause too much friction?. I agree though with the small percent though, I do not see many inter racial couples...

stillhere Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I dated a black man for 4 years. My family accepted him, even my grandfathers who were extremely racist. They loved me, and they wanted me to be happy. I did get pregnant by him at 17 but lost the baby. I'm happy that it did turn out that way, only because i was very young.
