I am a black woman married to a white man and I don’t see any reason why anyone in my family should necessarily go out of their ways to make him feel comfortable or to push down their simmering resentment. His family blurts out what ever dumb and racially ignorant stuff comes to their mind, so I think we’d all do well to forget it with keeping appearances and start actually try working into/through stuff. Global white supremacy is a real thing/lived experience and I don’t see any reason for my marriage to be a place where I am encouraging people to actively accommodate it.

Wait a minute…….blacks telling their litter not to date White Men?!?!?!….

What a shock!!….I thought blacks were just attempting to be ‘part’ of White America. I would have NEVER guessed that blacks can have racial issues and bigotted attitudes towards Whites.

Im taken aback!!

It seems the author of this book “dont bring home a white boy” Karyn Langhorne Folan (or as I choose to call her Foghorn Leghorn), has magically placed herself as a voice for all single ‘black’ women while she is in turn happily married with children. (go figure) if she wants to successfully write a self help book why not gear it towards single women of all nationalities on how to find men, in fact why did’nt she reach out to the lonely white women? (yes there is such a thing on this planet) she could have been the lonley white womans guide to dating outside they’re race also, perhaps even encouraging white women to date black men. seeing as how she’s encouraging black women to date white men.
But I get the feeling that somehow that idea would not have went over to well among white men (and ‘Ms. Leghorn’ knows this).
So she shoots for the controversy angle (The Reverse Race Card) an easy way to sell a few thousand books before the public catches on that this woman could care less about the “Waiting” black women she describes in her book and is more intrested in promoting her over- inflated EGO with a bunch of big words and book signings.
Come on Mrs. Leghorn…it do’sent take a harvard educated professor to see the snake oil you attempt to sell us in this book.
Anyone who has listenend to your empty babbling can see that your slightly bored, and the grass is starting to look greener to you on the ‘other’ side of town, and you’d give your right arm to have your membership back, if you ever had one to begin with….?

I’m currently dating a white man. One from Eastern Europe. So my situation is not only compounded by race but by culture and nationality. However I don’t have the family issue because my parents died many years ago. Probably if they were alive I would have the issues discussed in this article because my mother grew up under Jim Crow in Dayton, Ohio and my father never liked any of my boyfriends period. My boyfriend’s family lives in Bulgaria and has never met me. I don’t know if my friend has mentioned me to his mother. His Dad died last month. However his Bulgarian friends here in New York know that we are dating. So far so good. However at our ages, I’m 50, turning 51 end of Feb. and Mr. Bulgaria is 52 we don’t care what people think of us. I will say this much. Whites are more accepting of interracial dating than Blacks. But you know I’m happy with this man. Happier than I have ever been in my life. He respects me and he treats me like a Queen. I feel cherished by him. Nuff said.

Thank you for posting this. I have dated white men not because of the reasons that the media have been portraying lately. I really did like them, and they where very nice, but it came time for things to get serious, and i all of a sudden felt really ashamed to bring one home because of something my aunt said to me when i was a child I believed her up until the day that she said she didn’t remember it, and that she didn’t mean it. She told me never bring a white man home. I was shocked…and i brought a friend home once but i didn’t bring him home to my grandfather who openly tells me not to trust the white man. He had good reason to. Not only did he experience alot during civil rights area, and jim crow but on top of that he was from Trinidad when America had some issue with them and Eric Williams at the time. So i can relate to this article one hundred percent. thanks for writing this.
