I used to think so, but from personal experience, I'm seeing more cases where the woman is black then white, granted I live in NYC, and am just going by what I see.
In the media with celebrities its the opposite though, or appears to be.
Kind of like Michael Jackson, huh? ;O)

According to the 2000 census figures, black men are about 2.5 times as likely to have a white wife as black women are to have a white husband:
