Can a black woman not marry a white man w/o black guy racists showing up

I mean seriously, you look at every damn board on the imdb where the black actress/singer/model is even a little bit well known and married/dating a white man and here comes some black a-hole talking trash.

Can Thandie or Traci or Stacy or Zoe not date or marry a white man without the hate brigade (who never have a shot to begin with, so what difference does it make if she marries a guy who has your skin tone? What an inferiority complex) showing up to call them stupid names or start countless bogus threads drawing attention to this fact?

Probably the worst offender is dellkeypad (who must just sit in his room scouring the web for black actresses married to white men) but there are plenty of others. What a bunch of jerks.

Beyonce is married to one of the ugliest men of all time, but I have resisted the urge to go on her page and say "Yuck! Why can't she date a white man? What an effin whore! She makes me sick!" Rihanna has been beaten up by a complete loser and has never dated a white man publicly, do I go on her page and say she should? No. Even Halle Berry had all these horrible relationships with jerks like Wesley Snipes/David Justice who beat her or Christopher Williams/Eric Benet that cheated on her, AND she's half white, AND she's forty years old and finally dating a white man, and she's still called a sell out by the hate brigade.

I wanted to ask this exact same thing too. I thought we were past that age where color matters. We women have every right to fall in love with whoever we want to regardless of the other person's race. I have two boys and I will never teach them that they can't date outside of their race. Love is color blind, I would be happy if my kids are in a happy relationship when they get older, regardless of who they are with, Black, White, Asian, Latin, does not matter!

I agree. Even outside the celebrity realm, I've seen black men criticize black women for dating (or even wanting to date) white men, but those same black men date non-black women any chance they get. I don't understand how black men can praise each other for dating/marrying outside of their race, but then freak out when a black woman shows interest in a non-black man.

Oh I'll tell you how they can freak out: major league insecurity. Plus, right now they date whoever they want to but can expect black women to be sitting at home waiting on them. If they go elsewhere or have options, they might actually have to compete, and who wants to do that? What company wants to see their monopoly end?

Men are that way in general - they get pissed anytime they see someone who's not like them going out with a hot girl. I'm white and I've heard other white guy make comments like "I don't like it when white girls go out with black guys". Not defending either side - saying anything like that is incredibly ignorant, presumptious and borderline racist. I'm just saying that it's a male thing, not a black thing.

yeah a lot of guys are like that
