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

“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.

The article focuses on gay men but it could be generalized. So now having a preference of skin tone is racist too? Maybe I prefer alabaster skin for the aesthetics. Is not dating overweight people fat shaming? Is having an age preference ageism? Is having a preference about height heightism?

I dated a number of women before I married my wife. Every single one of them was the same race as me. My wife was white as I am. Apparently I am a racist and didn’t know it.

Who knew that affirmative action is supposed to enter into our most private intimate personal relations with people?????

Every woman who went to college has had a similar experience of being told she was “racist” for not dating or sleeping with a black guy.

I really think they did and instead of reading it as a cautionary tale, they see it as an instruction manual for creating utopia.

Therein lies the arrogance of man. Human hands cannot create Utopia.

I know a Mexican who has had four blond, blue-eyed wives. He told me he didn’t like Mexican women. Is that racist? I thought so. But, then again, it’s a personal preference about what turns him on and off. It would be difficult to have a relationship with somebody whose look just turned you off.

All likes and dislikes can be considered prejudice.

Preferences are racist? LOL. We can get some mileage out of this PC nonsense. So is Scarlett Johannson bigoted against old, balding, out-of-shape men because she wouldn’t want to sleep with me? She should be locked in PC re-education camp until she’s willing to do so.

So it’s no longer enough to simply “not be racist”. You must - MUST - think how they think or else you’re racist.

Got it.

Been saying that very thing for years. 1984/BNW. Look at society today. All there. ALL there.

I prefer women who have always been women. Is that even allowed anymore?

The morphing of "racism" from a description of mean spirited mistreatment of someone, solely because of their race, into a blatant attack on normal human preferences, has involved a major "bait & switch" tactic of the far Left. (Discussed among other subjects in Reality Is Not A Grievance.)

Similar morphing of other terms is very much within the playbooks of those seeking a monolithic Marxist type social order, to replace the heritages of Western Nations. If we let it intimidate us, we are finished.

I’ve known a lot of pretty girls who worked in the restaurant / bar business.

They all have similar stories: black men getting pissed off because these girls have turned them down on being asked out on a date. The result is the men calling these girls ‘ racists ‘ for saying no.

Basically, they don’t get what they want so it must be due to their skin color.
