Number four on Madame Noire’s list:

AT LEAST [WHITE MEN] ATTEMPT TO MARRY BEFORE MAKING BABIES

For whatever reason, White men just don’t have children sprinkled all over the world like Black men. And, if they do, most of them were married to the mother at some point. Sure, they divorce but you can only divorce if you at least attempt a marriage.

Number five:

THEY DON’T GLAMOURIZE IGNORANCE

They may listen to rap music, but they are smart enough not to act it out. The “thug life” is not something to be aspired. White men have a firmer grasp on what really defines manhood.

If you were looking for something new, you will not find in this list. The writer’s reasons for dating a white man are hardly original or surprising. And the general feeling one gets from the article recalls an 80s R&B hit by Alexander O’Neal, “Criticize”:

The brother sings:

Don’t criticize my friends
Don’t criticize my ideas
Don’t criticize my lifestyle

The sister sings:

Don’t just close your mind
I just want what is right
Still you to say criticize

What an old song!

  6. As a black gay man, I have to agree with the author on all of these points. I date/fuck all sorts of guys but I’m probably the most strictest with other gay/bi black guys than I am with a white guy or latino guy because of the points she mentioned. I’m more interested in randomly finding gay black guys with their shit together than going after guys who don’t have their shit together. No ambition-less hood rats for me. The same goes with guys of other races but more so with blacks. weird i know but i know a handful of other black guys who are like me as well.

  7. Charles,
    Wow, her comments are intense. While her generalizations seem unfair, I’ve observed that people of different races and/or nationalites (countries or continents, that is) do declare their preference or a distain for a person of a different race and/or nationality.

    Over the course of the past few months, I’ve heard a hispanic man say “never marry a Mexican woman!”, I white woman say “I’ll never date a black man or an African”, an African-American woman say “I want to marry a European” and an Asian woman say “I only date white men. Asian men don’t turn me on”.

    I am not sure they need to say that but natural selection works in sometimes strange and uncomfortable ways.

  8. This video confirms my queenery – I watched it scanning the ladies thinking how to improve their hair/makeup/outfits.

    The image on Noire’s linked page demonstrates also one of the dangers of a lady marrying a gay: he’ll upstage you in every photo.

  9. I’m too lazy to find the link, but Ok Cupid did one of their statistical analysis postings on this topic. Basically, white men had many more successful contacts and dates than any other group, per capita. Like Louie CK says, it’s never not a good time to be a white man. Most of us are total douches, though, so there’s that.

  10. most of the bbws want the bbc. even if its not bb, even an sb. sometimes i think thats because the b appreciate the bbw more on average. cmon bbws i got the bwc
