Inter
The other day, as I was seated in a restaurant with my nephew, a white woman and black man stepped in. The woman and I briefly made eye contact. I smiled, and then I met his eyes. They were filled with resentment and anger, almost accusatory in nature. Needless to say, I was somewhat stunned. You see, I am enlightened enough to realize that ours, is an evolving world. Races have been mixing for x amount of years, and hardly any of us are "pure". But, there are others that would happily disagree with my views, white and black; male and female. And that's fine, but this is about my views, so feel free to disagree. A select number of people believe that by dating one of another race means they will be more sexually pleased. Thus creating the "hot Latino lover", and "hung black stud" stereotypes. I have been in interracial relationships before with Hispanic, white, and mixed men. From my experienced perspective, there were no noticeable differences. Meaning that most men were well endowed, and all pleased me sexually, emotionally, and otherwise. Although some relationships were not that pleasant, I realized it wasn't because of their race/ethnicity, but rather a clashing of personalities. So why do so many assume
Black men on white women: They are more subservient. One of the biggest myths is that white women are these subservient sluts, who will give any man money. The first time I heard that one, I thought it was hilarious, but upon my observations of assorted relationships, I realize that this is true, to an extent. Although not all white women are sluts, they can be slightly (hardly significant) more sexual than black women. Why? I believe that unlike black women, most white women do not have the economic, financial, and parental constraints that black women do. So, they are less inhibited when it comes to sexual intimacy, and relationships, and they rarely have an attitude for the same reasons. This doesn't make them a more ideal mate than black women, but some men may think so, because they have a need to revel in their manhood. Either way, I would not be impressed with a man who believed such broad generalizations. I have been told by many of my black male friends reasons why they exclude black women as their partners. Some believe black women have "attitude", and are too out-spoken. Being a black woman, and being raised by one I can say, "not true!" Black women are strong. For years we have had to raise children on our own (not always our choice), becoming our families main source of income. We have also had to deal with absentee/dead beat fathers (our own as well
