By Regina King

Of all groups of people, Black women are the least likely group of women that will date outside of their race. When you have everyone else who is willing to explore but a Black woman is like, “I want me a brother,” well, if the brothers are out and they’re open to date everybody and the majority of Black women aren’t willing to look twice when a man outside of their race is sending them messages, then that makes our percentage rate lower and the chances of finding love, because we’re only looking in one specific place for finding love—with Black men.

Every single one of my girlfriends won’t date men that aren’t Black. I have maybe about five and these are people that I’m really considering my friends, not people that are associates or that you talk to or deal with at work. I have about five Black friends who date outside of their race. But all the other friends of mine, it’s either they vocally say that they won’t or every time an opportunity comes up for them to date outside of their race, there’s some excuse why it’s not going to work. They never really say it’s because he’s White, or because he’s Spanish or something like that. It’ll be more like, Well, you know he works at such and such, and our schedules don’t match.’ But we’ll know really what it is. It’s ’cause he’s White.

    Yeah, i guess it makes sense to date the white “night” if you are socially assimilated. The problem is not a shortage of black men, but moreso the huge gap between the social and economic status of black men and women. When black women are successful in a white ruled society, they are not only exotic and attractive to the white culture, but they are now considered a part of their culture,and therefore, they become a hot commodity, in which case black women who date white men obvious feel a sense of loyalty to the white master like harriot jacobs did in an attempt to escape her fate as a slave girl.I just met a beautiful black queen from south africa, and I pray to the most high she don’t become friends with someone who is dillusional like Regina King.

    I think that black women SHOULD date outside of their race, but not for the reasons that everyone else is saying. I like to say they should do it for the “HALLE BERRY REALIZATION”, which is you can date a bunch of blacks, mixed race men, and then finally a white man, and end up with the same result, YOU GET DUMPED AGAIN! That only further highlights whether or not black women are their own worst problem, and they are forced to come to the realization that: 1) non-black men are no different from black men, therefore the anti-black man propaganda (by black women) should cease immediately, and 2) that black women need to look at themselves in the mirror, and realize they can’t keep any man, no matter their looks, because there is something about THEMSELVES that is broken and needs attention.
    So this is why I support black women crossing over, to get a hard, cold reality check. Fellas, I know that annoys you, but black women need to wake up to check themselves, stop criminalizing us men, and this is the sure-fire method of doing so. If they come out of it hating ALL MEN, I can live with that, but when they’re saying any race is better than another, by definition, that’s racist.

    LOL @ HALLE BERRY REALIZATION, U GET DUMPED AGAIN. I get what Regina is saying, but dating outside ur own race isnt for everyone. Alot of people choose not to because of what others might say or think. Sometimes some people just never gave it another thought. Funny thing tho was, when i was in high school in Long Beach (which as a big mix of races) i had 3 close friends i was running round with everyday,1 was black, 1 was guatemalen, and the other was asian/white,,,all 3 of them only were into white boys, i didnt get it,,i kept asking them whats that about cuz i am attracted to all races, but they only wanted 1 which is fine but no interest in their own,,lol. anyway they finally opened up to the idea and found men of their own race and 2 r married now. So hey sometimes dating outside ur race works,,sometimes it doesnt. I could care less what anyone else is doing, until they get in my business. If someone makes u laugh, feel secure, u feel their the one, then fk what anyone else says, i know i could care less. Ima be with who ima be with. Sometimes u think other people r taking the “good men”, but sometimes their good to that person their in love with, but might not be good to u. think about that. LOL,,Cuz ive met my share of bad ones, but have met plenty of good men, sometimes their just not for u. Gotta move on & Stop stressing someone who isnt on ur level. I aint worried bout it, the good ones(me) dont stay available forever,,,LOL

    Here is my question: How long is BP and it’s affiliate pages going to beat this issue to death? Here’s my thought: Date whomever you like and whomever makes you happy. I am for anything that means we don’t have to get beaten over the head with 5,280 articles a week harping on alleged dating issues with Black men and women.

    tha’s the reason,there we go again not attacking the root of the problem,if there’s nothing good for a brother to see a future in or belong to so he can be a provider go to the white man its the smae reason there given the most jobs and the same reason the text book glorified them to beleive they created everything great (false) so stand more with dignity in schools colledge and being overlook as criminals till they retired.REGINA should KEEP HER MOUTH SHUT,till she has a better for solution on how to keep blackmen strong in this struggle,they use to pay white slave owners to to interbreed with black female slave and if they don’t put strainus act on them to make see there’s no good going to your own race.if she wants to do it go ahead but don’t say it like that’s your real reason you’ve done it.

    I agree with you.

    To you and all black females don’t worry about them simps that come on here and bash black women.

    Its no such thing as “black women should date outside their race”. Its funny that celebrities think they can speak for the masses of black women.

    Besides Amerikkka is not the only place that has black men

    Points taken MiSz_PiNk_DiamOnd. There are many Sisters who will continue to wait for that strong Black brother to come into our lives; to raise a wonderful Black family; and, continue the Black legacy.

    Maybe she couldn’t find a Black man in her field, or she don’t like them, but if you’re LOVE with that mate outside your race, then that’s good; doing it because a Black man dogged you or a Black woman dogged you is a piss poor ecxuse..you’re NOW saying Black men/woman are no good; the grass isn’t ALWAYS greener on the other side, but do what you gotta do…..

    IR dating is a personal choice, not something that should be forced. If some black women would rather die waiting for a good black man….welll let them die waiting…I think those exact women are very stupid, but hey….let them be dumb. It’s their lives after all.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blksouthern_belle/ blksouthern_belle

    I can’t finish the article because I highly Disagree
    well, if the brothers are out and they’re open to date everybody”

    Yes, BM dont date out their race as much as they (media,press,and public)want u 2 believe! Most blacks Date/marry within their own race . I see their PLAN is working. 1. Make the BW look desirable, 2. Brainwash the BM and make them want 2 date out….and finally 3. Make BW Submit to the American melting pot and forse her to run in the arms of Mr. White hero to make it all better. I think NOT, God is the only who controls me and he tells me who to date, I listen to him and no one else!!! and u kno what i hear…theres nothing wrong with black love.

    ” makes our percentage rate lower and the chances of finding love”

    No, Regina, that means MORE black men left for me to chose from since u think Interracial dating is the new trend for Bw to do in 2010. U got it twisted King 4 real..all men are capable of hurting u,leaving u, cheating,lying and so are women. IRRS are not the solution and it’s NOTGREENER on the other side of the fence either(), I don’t need to Find out 2 see that!!! They are 2 crazy 4 me!! Give me my blk brothas anyday, and I dont care who they date, just COME BACK HOME and I will accept u With OPEN arms and NO JUDGEMENT, It is an uncondiontional love…. and ppl want us to give that up so they can make a mixed up world..NWO NWO I AM not your victim….. enuff said.

    I agree with knockthatshytoff, dating outside the race is a personal choice, not something that should be forced upon others. Ya’ll already know that I prefer to do that, but I know VERY well that it’s not what majority of BW want to do. At the same time, I don’t want anyone forcing me to date who I have no interest in. It has happened before with a couple of folks, but I cut them off. You like what you like….no shame in that.

    What I don’t agree with is calling anyone dumb, though. If they want black men, let them have them.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/knockthatshytoff/ knockthatshytoff

    Cynamyn,

    I love your post and all and appreciate it, but those types of BW who wait around for their black prince charming and die in the process, are still dumb to me. These men are pretty much non-existent. I truly don’t care who’s feelings I hurt.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Icon-2010/ Icon-2010

    Now that I totally agree with..Let other races of men suffer for a while,I believe black men should ,and have been dating out their race, and seem to be happier :)
