‘No Blacks’ Is Not a Sexual Preference. It’s Racism
Daily Beast ^ | September 9, 2015 | Samantha Allen

Posted on 09/09/2015 7:54:33 AM PDT by C19fan

“Please don’t think this is racist but…”

That was the disclaimer that an Asian man sent to Rokashi Edwards, 25, a black programmer living in Toronto, before telling him that he would never consider having sex with a black man. Shocked, Edwards tried to push back on the man’s claim that he wasn’t being racist but he ran up against the same obstacle that many gay men of color face in the world of online dating.

“It’s just a preference,” he was told.

The conversation could go no further.

So what if it is racist? Whine about it or shake your head and move on. Seriously, it’s a gay dating site.

I was in ROTC at KU when a black female fell in love with me before I ever knew she existed. When told about it, I told her I was seeing someone else (true), and wasn't interested (NOT because she was black, but because she was 250 lbs).

Anyways, I was called a racist in the dorms and I corrected that crap REAL quick by stating that 1) I already had a girlfriend (whom was a minority, Thai, whom looked like Michelle Malkin) and wasn't going to cheat on her, and 2) I only date women that can pass the Army APFT.

.....of course there was no politically correct word for "white boy doesn't date lazy fatasses".

Lessons learned: The racism label gets used fast and easy (this was 1995!!!!!!

Also, counter their drivel with truth and facts and call them out for the immoral assholes they are, and they'll slither away like cockroaches and leave you alone.

Show of hands. Who in their lifetime thought they would ever even have to consider this as a ‘problem’ in the world?

Yeesh!

What if a 250 pound woman can pass the APFT (except for the weight standards)?

Seriously, I recall seeing a discussion some time ago about the APFT. Someone was arguing that if a person can pass the physical portion of the APFT, they should be counted as passing regardless of whether they conform to the body fat standards.

“The article focuses on gay men but it could be generalized.”

-—That was the whole point of this article — to generalize it into a broader issue

As I said twenty years ago when all this PC crap was starting, the only way to defeat the accusations of “being offensive” or “racist” is to not care what they think or say and be aggressive and don’t back down. If they say your behavior is racist, embrace it unapologetically, maybe even through in a few racial slurs if not in a professional environment. They then have no weapon, and contrary to expectations, they won’t get angry... they know they won’t coerce you, so they leave you alone and you won’t ever hear another peep. Can’t do this in a professional setting though or they will use whatever you say to file a grievance, but in your personal life, it works.

This goes much further than that. Normal people (straight people) who resist advances from perverts (homosexuals) will be called bigoted, even if they’re already married (such narrow mindedness!). They want to break down all barriers. This will lead to too many people being afraid to use any very forceful refusals of homosexual advances for fear of the consequences. The next step that will follow is to attempt to normalize forced relationships (rape). Their defense will be: “He didn’t say anything about being straight, or not wanting to, that I heard!”

I would never consider having sex with a black man either. Or any man.

If this was true, then liberals would make pet adoption breed neutral. Just show up and get a paper bag with a pet it. No picking breeds, colors, etc.

When people are attracted, the primal instinct is to imagine if that person would be suitable to help make your offspring. That is the reason we are attracted.
(unless you claiming to be homosexual, then attractive is purely sexual fetish)
I am not physically attracted to black women. That comes from deep inside my DNA of what I see as traits I want in my offspring.
I don’t even feel the need to explain this to anyone.
If I say “I’m not attracted to black women”
and someone says “you are racist”
My response is “So? OK, now what? What are you going to do about it?”

I could give a rat’s patooey if someone calls me racist.

Call me racist. “yeah... and?”

Everyone needs to do that. People, for some reason, are scared to death of being called racist. The general response needs to be “Yeah... and?”

And apparently the 4 blonde, blue eyed wives liked Mexicans...I guess they could be considered racist as well.
