8 Reasons You Might Consider Dating a White Woman

October 5th, 2010 - By Boyce Watkins Ph.D.

First, I’ll start this article by saying, “just kidding.” I have immense loyalty to black women, and that’s all I’ve ever dated in my adult life.  But after reading the article “8 Reasons to date a white man,” I just had to respond for the brothers.   We know white men are just as imperfect as the rest of us.  But the idea that the author decided to put white males on a pedestal above black men without considering the challenges of being black in America had me fuming.  So, here are some reasons that those brothers who date white women might have decided to do so:

    "Interracial" dating should be the last thing on our minds when we look around at our communities. Preserving who you are, trying to uplift our young people should be a priority, not dating white people. I feel like so many people have bought into the lie that white is better and whites have it together so therefore, we must associate ourselves with them, marry them, whatever.

    Perhaps alot of these white people and others have just been thrown into the midst of the "gender war" and it snot really about them but what they represent. I factually eel sorry for those of them who geniunely get involved with so many of us who seem to want to escape what we are. I really am afraid for the future of Blacks in America

    i found the first series about "reasons to date a white man" to be debasing, putting all black men in one category, telling the world that we don't think much of each other, and now you retort with this. that's the problem, that's the cycle in our community. no answers, just repeitition of slander and name calling and you did this, bu t then what? in the meantime there is a %70 percent out of wedlock rate, boys are growing up without fathers, clueless as to what manhood is, they need mentors, so do girls. so many of our young men are in prison. marriage rates are low, we lag behind in education. but this is what matters?
