    I remember a time when me and my white boyfriend went out to eat at a restaurant and I saw this black guy with his Hispanic girlfriend and he had the nerve to turn his face up at me as if I did something wrong to him, when he was dating a woman of another race too. Why do black men get so mad when they see pretty black women with white men?

    • Kaori

      Because they (Black men) think they own Black women.

    • Meyaka

      The same reason men think they can cheat but out vaginas must remain dry until further notice…

    • amelle

      THANK YOU!!! OMG they get to date out and its nothing but when a black does it everyone goes on like its an abomination to nature or something???

    Beauty is skin deep but some of these guys are ugly.

    Maybe it’s just me but whenever there is an article here about interracial dating there seems to be a battle in the comments from the viewers. I would like to say that I don’t think MN is obsessed with white people or men or getting their approval. I think Mn is trying to open the minds of the viewers. I think that AA are great and there is something about a AA man with strong character and qualities but I think we as women should be open minded to date other races. I see that as AA are open to dating other races they broaden their choices for a spouse? partner while narrowing ours. I am a 23 year old college student in Louisiana and I must say the pickings here are very slim.I just think we are AA should be open to a relationship no matter the race of the person that has shown an interest in you.

  • Fresh45

    I do believe people should date whoever makes them happy and I know who you date probably has nothing to do with how pro black you are,this is going to sound really ignorant but when you see someone who is very pro black,then you see they’re married to or are dating a white person or a none black person,it makes you give them the side eye a little. You kind of wonder why they’re with a none black person, since they’re all about the uplifting and empowerment of black people. I’m not saying these people are wrong for being with none black people,it just really surprising that they’re not. I’m not sure if Kerry Washington likes brothers but I would love to be her man.

    • Cleo

      I feel you, I’ll will give any black person the side eye hollering black power but yet they run home to their white spouse

    • sabrina

      She’s currently dating a black man I believe!

      • Fresh45

        In the recent interviews I’ve seen her in,whenever they ask about her love life,she always say “I don’t talk about my personal business”. You might be right but I’ve never seen pictures of her with a brother or read anything about her dating one.

  • Meyaka

    Good for them,be with the person who loves and respect you regardless of their color.

  • Kelendrea

    my bad so many typos.

  • Kelendrea

    You know what I am not suprised….White men love black women…And frankly the higher you go up the social class ladder the more like you will find your self with a white man..education wise also. I am tall dark skinned and a college student. I get white guys who drool over me all the time at my university. THe black men I come across want a light skin or red bone. To each his own but frankly I am starting to fall for these white men are met. Never in a million years did I see myself being with them but now I am much more open and I have to say I love itt..Dont know if I will go back.

    • tyrone

      Your grammar , spelling and sentence structure demonstrate that you are not college educated. Therefore , I do not believe you or your story of all these white men drooling over you. Yeah right.

      • http://profile.yahoo.com/PGJJTZYREJ6G53XS3SM5OVEF5Q Reese

        How silly is that statement. Maybe English isn’t her thing. Alot of educated people don’t have good grammer I am one of them. Or others can’t do basic math. Look at Geogre Bush. I have always attracted more non black men than black men. I a a dark skinned black woman. They don’t seem to be as color struck, but it could be something else altogether.

        • Meyaka

          Thank you,simpletons I tell you, we all should treat this blog as our English class since we are being evaluated and all… Silly asses

      • get real

        Yeah u can tell she’s lying.

        • J

          How?

      • London

        LMAO*

      • ieshapatterson

        lol pretell,what does her english skills have to do with this story?? lol you sound jealous man.

      • amelle

        how does her spelling etc. differs from yours, its understandable isn’t it? a college education isn’t about grammar its about and in depth advanced level learning into a subject.

  • Kaori

    Of course you would be surprised when you put people in boxes of who and what they should like.

  • Trisha_B

    I can’t wait to see the difference in comments from this post & the men post LOL.

    • bishop

      Lol! In this post, its all “thatta girl”, “you go girl” and “love knows no color”….for the men its “self hating”, “sell out”, “and what would your mamma say”….lol. black women need to re-evaluate their way of thinking.

      • Trisha_B

        lmao yesss!

      • Herm Cain

        Exactly they are stubborn and hypocritical in their views why can’t love have no color when a brother dates out its either she wants his money or hes self hating you can tell from these post some sisters have low self esteem and just want some form of attention from whoever will give it I say everybody date whoever you want don’t be biased though

        • Nisha

          I’m hopeful that more and more when black women see black men with women of other races they smile and keep it movin’…cause at the end of the day, it shouldn’t matter to us who you date…I could personally care less myself. I have my own relationship to be in!

        • Jennifer Cobb

          Blanket statement.

      • http://profile.yahoo.com/PGJJTZYREJ6G53XS3SM5OVEF5Q Reese

        Maybe some black women, but all black women aren’t saying this. Some black women don’t care either way. And black men do it too. I know one married to a white women and still talking white devil bs.

  • shauntee

    None of these are shocking…..I date other races frequently. I have no problem with black men, I date men who are attracted to me regardless of their race. Why is this news anyway?

  • Cleo

    Why am I biased as heck when it comes to sistas dating out lol, I say go for it and he doesn’t have to be white either. I think black women see interracial dating differently from black men anyway. Black men feel as if they have some trophy, while black women just wants a man who’s stable and treat her good. Black men bash black women so much and stay comparing us to the others when we want to be nothing like them. Where as men if other races don’t particularly nit pick.. Natural hair, darker skin, and full lips is just fine to them. I say do you black women!!

    • bishop

      You’re either niave or stupid. Men off all races are going to nitpick at something. Fact, more AA marriages are between black men and black women and I’m part of that statistic. Are you even married?

      • bishop

        *naive

      • Cleo

        You have completely missed my point.

        • kofybean

          Your point is that black men are bad for doing it, and black women are good for doing it. That point came through quite clearly.

          • ieshapatterson

            rolls eyes* that’s NOT what she’s saying.all she’s saying is,a lot of black men who date/marry outside of their race,do it because they have hatred towards black women.all she’s saying is black women need to keep their options up.

            • kofybean

              So I will try not to laugh, and you try not to roll your eyes… deal?

              Here is what I said, “…point is that black men are bad for doing it”
              Here is what you said, “…a lot of black men …do it because they have hatred towards black women…”

              Here is what I said, “…black women are good for doing it”
              Here is what you said, “… black women need to keep their options up.”

              So do you wish to change your interpretation of the comment? Or would you like to go forward with arguing that our two points are different?

              • ieshapatterson

                actually,i wasn’t talking about that comment,i was talking about your previous one.you know the one where you say she has “serious” hate for black men because she calls them out for dating outside of their race.

    • Kelendrea

      Cleo you are so right..yes all want is someone who can take care of us…some black men have become more vocal on the fact they have issues with black women…White men love the full lips, dark skin…it is something different and they are attracted to it..I find that the white men I come across stare from time to time…they appreciate beauty when they see it. Thats what we want, a loving, stable, father and husband. Dont get me wrong there is an exception. I have seen wonderful black men out there. My brother is an example…he was def. raised in a good home…Dont let the media raise your kids.

      • Cleo

        My point exactly, a lot of black men are extremely influenced by the media. Their favorite rapper tells them to get a Becky they all want to run out and get one lol. But yet expect loyalty from black women. I think single black women should explore their options.. And he doesn’t have to be white either their is more than black and white guys

      • kofybean

        “Black men feel as if they have some trophy”
        “Black men bash black women ”
        “Black men…stay comparing us to the others”
        “black men are extremely influenced by the media”
        “Where as men [of] other races don’t particularly nit pick”

        You have some serious hate for black men you might wanna take a look at. Or don’t… doesn’t matter.

        • amelle

          Im not grouping because obviously its not all black men but its the truth, did you know most stereotypes of black women came from a lot of black guys mouths they bash us the most, they are the reason people think we are all aggressive, uneducated, fat and bald. They are ALWAYS complaining about our hair they fuss about our skin tone saying light is better. So many want a black girl of white woman standards, im sorry but im not going to torture my hair and bleach my skin becasue a bunch of stubborn shallow black guys want me to look like a white when i can be with a man who likes me the way i am??.

          • Derek

            Also keep in my mind that a lot of the stereotypes of Black men come from Black women. “He ain’t s**t.” “He’s too dark.”, etc, etc. It works both ways. Black women have been let off the hook for too long. Own up to your own part in the degradation of our family structure. Black men didn’t do it alone.

    • Cindie

      You got that right, Cleo!

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Ball-Guy/100000230312229 Ball Guy

      The color of the person doesn’t matter, only the beauty on the inside. I’m happily married but everyday I encounter women of all colors, shapes and sizes who definitely fit the bill for being beautiful inside and out.

  • Prissy

    Whoopi has stated PLENTY of times on “The View” she gravitated towards the men who found her attractive and liked her which just so happened to be White men. You Tube the video of the early 90s when she got an award for “Ghost” NAACP Awards (one of those) and they did a tribute to her. Patrick Swayze presented the award. Her speech was AMAZING. Our community has been dogging her out for her looks ( I think she is beautiful) for YEARS. LOVE her. AND I don’t feel that “sting” as Jill Scott so eloquently put it in her interview with Essence when I see Black women with White men. I feel it when I see Black Men with White Women. Irks my spirit to the core.

    • Cleo

      I love whoopi, I think it’s sad how she gets treated. She’s an amazing actress and by far the smartest woman on the view.

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=516354164 Gabie Aldrich

      Very True! Jill Scott lost my respect when we said that. Just let folks love! if i thought like that I wouldn’t of found my Hubs.

  • John

    blk ppl are really obssed with white ppl!!

    • Kelendrea

      Nope..I can actually say its the other way around..trust me..especially white men they are so intrigued by black women…the ones they find attractive that is. Its not like I live somewhere in Kentucky or Nebraska..I live in Maryland but still find white men staring all the time.

  • Ebony Davitt

    I really dislike the fact that you call them Strong black women but also talk about how shocking it is that women like them would date white men. You marry/date who you love; marrying a white man does not make you “less strong”. Anyone trying to call Maya Angelou less strong for marrying a white man is a damn fool

    • Adrian Khan (The Soca Warrior)

      Yes it does.Because black women will not speak out against white men,when they are taking the pink tootsie roll from them.I can only imagine the chit they let white guys get away with saying about blacks.

      • http://profile.yahoo.com/PGJJTZYREJ6G53XS3SM5OVEF5Q Reese

        That is bs. I know plenty who will speak out against white men. In fact I bet a higher percentage of them don’t speak out against black men. There are some people who treat men based on the way they treat them and not on race of their skin.

      • Ebony Davitt

        I know for sure that with the white men I’ve dated the n-word is not an option, the door is over there if you plan on continuing saying racist terms like that.

      • amelle

        HAHAHAHA oh baby no no no, you have no clue, we CORRECT them and men who date black women usually have the correct idea about them, if a cultural thing confuses them its THEY who are usually shy to say anything race wise.

  • IllyPhilly

    MN changed the title up for this one so this. The man’s title was something like Pro-Black celebs who date white chicks. I just wanted to mention that without that heading on this list this is just regular folk dating. LOL. Next topic: Black celebs who adopted white kids, of course after white celebs who adopted black children because MN does have tons of articles about white folk news.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Tiffanie-MadameGigglez-Thomas/665285721 Tiffanie MadameGigglez Thomas

      Welp, we know that list will be loaded and needing multiple editions of the “White Celebrities Who Have Adopted Children of Other Racial Backgrounds.”

  • Danielle

    I’m just waiting on some people to say something completely inappropriate, crazy, or idiotic when it comes to this subject. The heart wants what it wants.

    • Adrian Khan (The Soca Warrior)

      Only if they are not black men.

      • Kelendrea

        silly comment but lol ^^

  • BeatingADeadHorse

    Talk are really reaching with these down with the swirl articles lately.MN makes sistas look so desperate when it comes to white men.Let’s be real most white guys aren’t checking for black women.The white man is not the black woman’s knight and shining armor cut bull.I love my brothas

    • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_D2JU54QTMQJO2IGAMOE4HEE5KA Big BakedApple

      He may not be a “savior” but he is a nice distraction.

      • Coco black

        Agree lol!!….I love my people but its good to have options and alternatives.

    • ieshapatterson

      And that’s your opinion.but i know a boat load of white guys,who LOVE them some chocolate girls.plus,your knight is the one who loves you and wants only you.skin shouldn’t matter.

      • Johndie

        u know a boat load of white guys who would love to stick his pink peen in you just like all other race of guys! out of all the races there are why is everyone caught up on white!!!

        • ieshapatterson

          Lol I’m not caught up with white men.i go
          for whoever wants me.black women need to wake up and realize,that black men aren’t the only men for us.

        • Fresh45

          I know the answer to why everyone is so hung up on white but I still ask myself that same question. Whites have been given the perfect image in this world and they are also treated as if they’re perfect. In some people’s minds,getting with a white person is like hitting the lottery,they truly believe they’ve came up. Even though there are plenty of things to point to,show that they aren’t perfect,they’re treated as if they are. I love white people and I also like white women but there’s nothing more special about them than there is about women of other races.There are so many different kinds of people in this world but people only seem to praise the white ones. You never or rarely see stupid list like this about famous black people that have dated or married none black and none white people..

        • http://profile.yahoo.com/PGJJTZYREJ6G53XS3SM5OVEF5Q Reese

          I don’t know why they focus a lot on white and black men. There are a variety to choose from.

      • ieshapatterson

        Lol i don’t beg.I’m a nice person and I’m cute.and guys of all races like that,so that’s why men of ALL races come at me.plus,you sound bitter and mean.chill out or no man will want you.

        • BeatingADeadHorse

          I’m far from bitter I always meet quality brothas.But talk black women keep trying force your point on white men

          • ieshapatterson

            lol1- i NEVER forced my opinion down anybody’s throat.
            2-i called you bitter,because you sound like it.if your not into inter racial dating/marriage,then fine,but don’t get mad,when other black women go for it.

      • Kaori

        This must be ‘Get Real’ because he has a habit of calling women ‘bed wenches’.

      • Nisha

        And not all white women are checkin’ for brothas either. Just last week I saw a brotha starin’ down this young white woman and she looked at him with disgust…y’all make yourselves look pretty ridiculous and desperate sometimes.

      • http://profile.yahoo.com/PGJJTZYREJ6G53XS3SM5OVEF5Q Reese

        Some have? Non black man has never asked you out? Really? I find that hard to believe. Maybe that is your reality. It isn’t mine. I am not saying there is undying love for us, but black women are dating and marrying non black men. It is not rare I see it everytime I go out. And some of them do have blogs, sites and facebook clubs. Damn, you really believe that non black man won’t find you attractive or even want to sleep with you. Maybe your self-esteem is low. White men couldn’t keep there hands off of black women even in slavery.

    • Meyaka

      They may not be checking for you,baby I have two rings on my finger and they still trying to take me out,same with my sisters,homegirls,and family.

      • Gina

        Amen!!!!!!!! It’s not just white men either, it’s all races of men. If you’re cute black woman they will smile and try to talk to you.

        • roo08

          yes because they are MEN. They see a cute girl and they aren’t hung up on race, what else would happen?!

    • http://profile.yahoo.com/PGJJTZYREJ6G53XS3SM5OVEF5Q Reese

      I got something completely different from the article. It is basically saying that you wouldn’t think these sisters were with white men because they seem black, proud and down. It is basically questioning whether black women can be strong and with non black men. I think it is basically saying we have options. Black women have the highest single rates. Black men date ir much more than black women with lower quality have you seen the women they are with. They are uneducated, overweight and lack class most of the time. Who is desperate for a white mate. The majority of black women aren’t checking for whitemen either. But why should black women dating out bother you? It would leave more brothers for you to pick from when their is a big shortage.

  • http://www.facebook.com/jason.f.vorhees Jason Fangz Vorhees

    I’ll be glad when the day comes that everyone realizes that love knows no color. You cant force yourself to fall in love with someone simply because they are black. Your political and cultural beliefs will fall by the wayside when you find that right one no matter the race. maya angelou and alice walker are examples from this list. Is ANYBODY going to second guess how maya feels about black people??

  • KO

    Why is it so important to date or marry someone of your same color? Love has no color! And if you ask me disliking someone because of their color is wrong. Now that’s racist.

  • Laine

    “This might come as quite the shock given Goldberg’s penchant for playing strong African-American women in movies…”… So what ?? You can’t be a strong black woman AND me married to or be in a relationship with a non- black man…?? Please… !!!

    • IllyPhilly

      Here, here. Plus one

      • Kaori

        *Hear, hear.

    • Coco black

      Thank you for pointing that out….I thought it was just me who thought that was a ridiculous thing to say!! So we can only be strong if with a man of the same race..nonsense!

    • MLS2698

      Someone showed me a poem that Maya Angelou supposedly had written about blacks wearing clothing labels made by whites ( the Tommy Hilfiger one), but I questioned it because I knew she had been married to a white man. You should have seen the look on the person’s face, because they had no clue. I’m still not sure about the poem. Does anyone know?

      • http://twitter.com/Nerdstradamas Kendra

        I know what poem you are talking about. It floated around heavily in emails. I tried searching for it online and couldn’t find anything. Its probably another hoax, i.e. the Willie Lynch Letter

    • Jazz

      Ok, so since you said that, remember you can’t comment when you see a black man with a white woman and assume he isn’t a strong black man. We can’t keep subscribing to the double standards.

      • Laine

        I never think that when I see a black man with a non- black woman! We are all of the human race, it should not matter at all !!

    • Betty D. Matta

      Stella. even though Bruce`s artlclee is incredible, on tuesday I
