Great topic. Why was it that black men started marrying white women and discarding their cultural ties to black women?

It was a topic those of us with a philosophical/intellectual interest often discussed in college. Part of it was that a lot of white women my age had conflict-relationships with our moms. Our moms were raised in the depression, worked in factories during WW2, then after that stayed home and raised us spoiled brats. My mom was not the only one who resented us "daddy's little girls" getting everything and going to college. Those resentments made us at times pretty irritating, and a black or Jewish boyfriend would get our mom's hostilities going crazy. Not every girl was like that, but enough were. The other aspect was our faux worldliness. It was easier for a less-than-popular not A-list girl to find a black mate and be perceived as avant-garde cool for doing so.

In my circles, we didn't date black guys, not out of prejudice, but because we "got it" that black men should bring their advantages back to their communities.

I like to think and hypothesize, not research and go through the hoops. But if I were to do a doctoral thing, this would be a great topic...."The Abandonment of their Neighborhoods by Upwardly Mobile Black Men in the 1960s"

Been there. Except for the 'getting everything' part.

We could probably have a very intelligent excursis of this topic here on FR using real citations and personal experiences.

Members participating would properly “police” the thread for “mockingly stupid” additions all the while allowing for non-PC injections that bear a kernal of truth. We (FR) could ultimately preside over a major cultural work

Unfortunately, since it would NOT be a publication of an Ivy-League-Related institution, all the world would label it “ray-ciss” and unscholarly.

And have you noticed all the mixed-race couples in commercial these days. . .and the bi-racial child?

Like the homosexual movement, subliminal effort to force acceptance. . .

Not taking a position on the question of such relationships, just making an observation.
