Im a WHITE FEMALE and i've been wondering this for a couple of years now.
DGirl is a bigger anomaly than me. :biggrin1: Until her, I had never even heard of a black woman dating an Asian man, let alone dating one.
We don't, at least not initially. I didn't, at least I don't think I did. 
Now you've confused me. :headache: Black men of a similar background to me, who are willing to date black women are increasingly rare. Seriously, at this point I'd have a better chance of banging Charlie Sheen, than Tiger Woods. :biggrin1: Not that I would want either one as both are clearly man whores.
This is one of those weird black, culture things. :redface: For some reason it is not so much expected, but accepted when black males of ANY socio-economic group date white or Asian women. However, black girls are still raised to look for that handsome chocolate prince. Hence the hullablloo over that new Disney movie. The Princess is black but the Prince is of indescribable ethnic, but non-black origin. Personally I think that's great! :smile: They are preparing little black girls for the real world.
Thank you for getting that! So many people don't. :irked:
You know, i understand it in the opposite manner. I was raised on the poor side of town until i was almost 13. I went to a predominately black middle school and when i moved to a small rural community i was teased for talking "ghetto" and i had no idea i did. My parents as racist as they were had no idea that i did because i didnt sound that way to them. But when i go back and watch home videos from that time, i surely did talk ghetto. I went out of my way to use poor grammar because that was cool with the black kids in my school.
There's a group of older black men i skate with weekly at a local skating rink. It's during adult night where the old 70's skating music is played. I fit in more with them than i feel like i do with people in my rural predominately white town. But when i get with them i can joke with them and understand some of their quirky stuff. They thought i was just an uppity white girl until i went up to them and introduced myself. We are always making fun of each other and laughing at any flaws we have.
I'd rather sit at a table for a holiday with all of those guys then with my own family or in laws. It has nothing to do with color, and more to do with cultural similarities and how you might have been raised with similar scenerios.
Ive never dated a black man because my dating years were in this small town where there werent many to date. I wouldnt say i dont find them attractive because some of them are for sure. I just happened to grow attractive to nerds and Asian/White/Asian Indian people dominate that group.
