Do black women resent black men or white women for dating each other?

I ask this because I was reading a book about OJ and someone said that it was a mistake to put black women on the jury because studies show that black women resent a white woman dating a really successful black man. Therefore, it didn't bode well for the prosecution.

I'd like to know the honest opinions of ladies of color. Does it frustrate you to see high profile black men dating the "trophy blonde" type? Or is this bs perpetuated by society to create more hostility and racism?

I'm a black woman, and, to be honest, I really had to work through this issue. I live in an upper middle class community where the average income is over $100,000 a year. The first several years I lived here, I would really resent seeing a black man with a white woman. It made me feel that the man thought all that wealth was too good to share with a black woman.

I finally realized though, that that's what happens when you see people only as a race instead of seeing people as individuals. You just get tripped up. A black man is more than just a black man - he is an individual. A white woman is more than just a white woman - she is an individual. We all have a story. Every couple has a story. When we see an interracial couple, we don't know their story. We don't know what brought them together. We don't know what they've gone through in life before and since they first met. We don't know the love for each other that they may or may not share.

All I know is that it's not my place to judge them, nor to make snap judgements about them based on what I (think) I see.

When I finally got all that straight in my mind and heart, I felt much better about things.

Great question! : )

Thanks for choosing me for best answer! It really was a great question. : ) http://answers.yahoo.com/question/accuse_write?qid=20070812152729AAP8iOU&kid=R8EpDDLpBWSssMJnSiDIlkSbbziYCmUdQz.dZbCSyYtFs924izmm&s=comm&date=2007-08-16+17%3A27%3A48&.crumb=

It's all self hate. Interracial dating is fine if you hate your culture and your people. This is a product of Eurocentric society brainwashing you. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/accuse_write?qid=20070812152729AAP8iOU&kid=O6VYJFjFM25Jesu7lp8q&s=comm&date=2009-04-22+14%3A25%3A57&.crumb=

Also, it's kind of funny, you are a "Black Woman", but your Avatar looks like Cherize Theron. Self Hate Strikes Again. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/accuse_write?qid=20070812152729AAP8iOU&kid=O6VYJFjFM25Jesu7lp8q&s=comm&date=2009-04-22+14%3A26%3A55&.crumb=

lmao there are no studies on how black women 'resent' black guys that date white women. my family and i were just talking about this the other day. most black men date black women as it is with every other race of ppl. and more and more black girls including myself date outside their race. its becoming more and more common in more urbanized industrialized areas. so anyway i cant think of too many 'high profile' black guys that date white women ...and i hardly see them as trophies..so no it doesnt bother me.

i couldnt care less what any of them do because it has nothing to do with me. some black girls feel the same way. some dont. the same goes for white girls because trust me ive gotten my fair share of dirty looks when im out with white guys.

I'm a black woman and I don't care what black men do. That's their business whether they want to date a white woman. As a black woman I have no right to get into any black man's business about who he wants to be with. I have dated white men and I wouldn't have liked if someone was doing the same to me. It really doesn't matter who were with. Were all part of the human race and for the people that do have problems with this type of thing then they have issues of their own that they need to resolve.

no, i dont. i think the real real question is do black men resent black women who date white men because they damn sure have a problem with that. if i was on the jury i wouldnt strike him out because of that. it's stupid.

as for me, i could care less about black men dating white women. i say to each thier own. i myself dont even date black men. i have my reasons but when it comes down to it, im just not physcially attracted to them.

and for the black women that have a problem with black men that date white women have some serious issues, for real.

I dont resent anyone for being in their interracial relationships. However, why do some black men think its ok to resent me and my boyfriend because he is white?

i realy dont care if a black guy dates a white woman and im black!

i mean really now, its 2007, and besides i dont date inside my race anyway. i like asians and whites better

that is a tossup.

date who you want, why should I care?

i am a woman of color...honestly it does not bother me...its not like i was ever gonna meet these people so it doesnt effect me, but i cant speak for all of us...i know for a fact that this is true sometimes...

this is what i have heard from a black woman:

it seems like when black men get rich and famous they go for the white girl they could never get when they were "regular"...i think that black woman get mad at this because its like the black men forget where they came from and try to act like they r doing "better" which is not true, and the white woman flock to them because of their status.

i dont know how all black woman feel about that but i believe it is partially true and i see where ur coming from.

Honey I could care less if you want a black man, I don't my man is white and I dont' want a black man if he was the last on earth. I don't care who dates whom. Date who you want!

But let me tell you what I do hate. What I do hate is when I go out with my boyfriend (who is white) it's always the black guy with the white girl on his arm who comes and asks me "what the hell I'm doing with this white boy" as if he 's my father or brother. What I hate is black women who want to ostricize me because I'm dating a white man. What I hate is people in general who think I'm with my man because he is rich! He's not rich but he's not poor and neither am I. What I hate is people who assume that I'm dating a white man because of the shortage of black men. I don't care if there was an influx of black men I would still want a white one.

I only resent the ones who stare at me lustfully while in the presence of his white girlfriend...but that's the case with any race of men.

If I have a choice of marrying a white women or a black women, you bet your a.s.s it's going to be the white women.

I think black women are just jealous and because of that, they do what they can to make fun of whitey.

white girls love black men because of there penis
