At least everyone with his dating service got the gender thing right
My ex-wife is black, and aside from a latent moonbat crazy streak that ultimately made us incompatible, was a great catch. Beautiful, sharp as a tack, funny, educated, and family-oriented. She was kind of a lone wolf, and didn't really care what other black or white people thought, but I imagine it would have been a lot harder for her if she did. Ditto for me, I'm not trying to fit anyone's sterotype. Probably part of the attraction.
But your overall point is right, to the point that I could write a book on the subject. It was far more common for us to see white women with black guys, and their dynamic seemed different than ours. They seemed a lot more cognizant of biased cultural observations people made and sensitive to percieved slights. We took our fair share as well, but as far as we were concerned, it told more about the people making them then it did us. You can find love anywhere, just as you can find stupidity anywhere. ;-)
The one thing in this article I couldn’t agree with more is people who, ostensibly, are writing papers to describe and, again ostensibly, to explain things other people don’t already know, use a language inconducive to explaining things.
Unix man pages are a prime example of this.
I think there is often a suspicion that the white woman is with the black man for superficial reasons. Whether that’s a fair assumption or not, it’s a reason to look down on the couple — especially the woman — if one believes it.
Yep,some crazy ass sisters out there.What is so scary is that you see these attitudes in these young black women of high school age.Thats why I’m not big on jumping on these young black men for not wanting to get married.Not saying they shouldn’t be responsible about any children produced but the likelihood they will have suitable decent women of their own color for wives does not look good.
And don’t get me started on WHITE females.Got some stories from THAT side of town as well.I think if I had to do it over again I would probably seek out the senoritas.They seem to have the most common sense.
Be careful with all that....there’s some great gals in the philippines...there are also a lot of scam artist...just be careful.
Black women are hesitant to date white men because the common wisdom among them is that white guys generally only want them for sex and would never consider marrying them. I've heard this comment from numerous black women.
They obviously weren’t that distict. Gauls wore plaid kelts and played bagpipes.
I’m not tryin to convince you of anything. I’m just pointing out stupid remarks like some of the ones I saw on this thread. If you want to make stupid comments and expect not to be called out for them, go to a liberal site and post away.
But you bring up another topic that I feel strongly about. That is this nonsense more and more americans have about “being proud of one’s ancestry”. It is kinda stupid when you get down to it. We are americans. We are a heinz 57 mixture. Promoting pride in one’s ancestry is promoting balkanization and that is dangerous.
There’s nothing wrong with being aware of where you came from, but pride in what culture your great great grandparents were part of is just dumb. They are dead and gone and that culture that they were part of doesn’t exist any more I can take pride in being a midwesterner. I can take pride in being conservative, or the specific skill set I’ve aquired. But how can you take pride in who your long dead ancestors are who you never even met?
I happen to know that my genetic composition is primarily danish, dutch and german...with some english, irish, and native american. I feel absolutely no connection to any of those cultures or nations. I don’t fly a flag from any of those places like the mexicans and the italians seem to like to do. It’s stupid. It’s not an exclusive club, it’s just history.
In this country, you don't inherit your station in life. You work for it. That's the american way.
bump.
Around 10% of Filipinos are listed as Protestants (which include groups such as the Jehovah Witness-esque Iglesia ni Cristo). So, they’re rare, but not unheard of.
I married a Latina, and even before I met her, I always seemed to do much better with foreign women, regardless of where they were from.
I think a reason for that was because I knew about the world, and could easily talk to them about where they were from, that always impressed them, and that gave me an edge. There’s nothing that makes a better first impression than bringing up something about their country, and having them say in amazement, “How do you know that?!?!”
So if you want to hit it off with foreign chicks, study your history.
Thus a supposed 'mix' between one people group and another isn't bound to produce a markedly more intelligent child. However, as the Time magazine reporting freeper pointed out, the child, being closer to the actual racial average* could be perceived as more physically attractive.
*As there is only one genetic race of humanity--the human race; humans are not distinct enough to have races, or subspecies, of homo sapiens sapiens.
I didn’t know they were called hamburgers. Where did that come from? My son is going to be a hamburger?
No, no. It was a reference to Butters in South Park saying “Oh, hamburgers!” Note that I have been watching far too much South Park lately, since finals at U.Va. are now over.
I have been watching far too much South Park lately...
no you haven’t...you can never watch enough! ;)
enjoy!
Excuse me, I didn’t say anything stupid. Must be tough to be you, always misunderstanding everything you hear.
