Have you guys seen this post on Madame Noire? A follow writer pal brought it to my attention and I wanted your honest feedback.

I’m speechless and Greg is pissed. Actually, his rant went something like this:

“Who was the A*-muncher that wrote this? F*ing idiot! Stupid S*t like this is why Black men hate White men; they read this Bulls*t and blame the misconceptions on us. They’re no better than the gold-diggers who trap White men into marrying them.

Of course life is easier for us; we’re F*ing White! That doesn’t mean we’re going to treat you any better than a Black man. They’re setting themselves up, keep believing this S*t! They’d scream victim if a White man wrote ‘Date Black women because she’ll give it up if she thinks you’re worth a damn. They’re just happy you’re not Black! You can do no wrong—they’ll blame Black men regardless!’”
 
END RANT (only because I can’t recall the rest)

8 Reasons to Date a White Man
September 27th, 2010 - By LaShaun Williams

I am married to a Black man—dark-skinned, 100 percent cocoa. To me, there is nothing more physically beautiful on this earth. Notice I said physically. Outside of that, there are plenty of more financially, intellectually and emotionally stable options. It’s time to taste the unknown. There are just too many—too many bright and beautiful single Black women waiting for their Black prince charming, only to see more and more of them riding off with their porcelain-skinned beauties.

My question is what are you waiting for—a baby and no ring? Black men are obviously seeing a lot in others they like. As an open-minded woman, I can tell you from experience some things about white are right. In no particular order, here are the reasons you should be giving vanilla a chance.


1. They open wide instead of down low
Gay White men tend to be more forthcoming about their sexuality with family and friends. The down low phenomenon is less prevalent, which preserves the battery usage on your gaydar and relieves the stress of dissecting every male relationship.


2. Not looking for someone to take care of them
Thanks to the absence of family, fathers and marriage in the Black community, a great number of our men have backward expectations when it comes to romantic relationships. A higher percentage of White men come from stronger family structures and more traditional gender roles, where the men seek to care for the women.


3. Attend and graduate from college
Black women are graduating from college and Black men continue to drop out. As a result, degrees become intimidating when dating Black men. In White culture, education is valued and expected. Thus, White men have no problem dating educated women with advanced degrees. It is impressive rather than intimidating.


4. At least 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.


5. 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.


6. Financial planning and stability
Black people, especially men, are always trying to shine—often spending more money than they have. White men tend to be more educated in the area of finance with a greater understanding of retirement planning, savings, investments, etc. This is mostly due to a higher level of exposure and teaching, but all that matters is they know and make better decisions than Black men when it comes to managing money.


7. Have the ability to look beyond your past
Ever wonder why White people can date the friends of exes and so on? It’s because they don’t let the past hinder the present. Promiscuous Black men think they deserve to settle down with virgins, and allow past relationships to haunt the present. Not White men. They have no problem turning a hoe into a housewife.


8. Don’t take everything as a challenge to their masculinity
Intimidation and insecurity are two reasons for the rift between Black men and women. As a result of their insecurities and low self-esteem, Black men are intimidated by the strength of an educated and ambitious Black woman. Rather than seeing her as a strong teammate, she is a threat to their manhood. Thus, they feel the need to overcompensate. White men, on the other hand, are more secure. What Black men see as threatening is what makes a great wife and business partner to them.




Does anyone else get the feeling that LaShaun's Black husband has been wrongly done? After reading this article, did he feel like shit? Maybe I'm reading too much into this. I just feel bad for the guy. I'm opening the floor to you. Are these valid points? If so, are they the reasons you're attracted to White men? Just let me know what's on your mind.
