<p>Serena Williams is married??</p>
<p>The sad truth is even if Black men met eligible Black women at the country club they would go out of their way to avoid having to speak with them. Brothers do not acknowledge Black women while mingling with white society. </p>
<p>Real Black MEN do not suffer from self-esteem issues that are only assuaged when they feel they are the only blacks in a group of whites. Very sad-sacks. </p>
<p>Black women do not have this problem. Black women have the problem of being snubbed on approach by Black men unsure of their own standings. They don’t want to be identified as Black simply by acknowledging other Blacks. (smh)</p>
<p>No. She very recently split from Common.</p>
<p>Did you pull that “fact” whole-cloth from your tail? Provide a link. </p>
<p>The agony of knowing an exceptionally successful man PREFERRED an extremely eligible AFRICAN AMERICAN woman over any other woman is stressful to a very many people. They are still reeling and wondering how it happened that a Black man could, not only want, but actively pursue an obviously Black woman. Defies the imagination. LOL.</p>
<p>Do you know it happens everyday? Black men, happily and consciously, pursuing Black American women? </p>
<p>There seems to be an inordinate amount of press on interracial dating; primarily BM/WW, but please know it is not the entire story. Several hundred thousands of interracial couples, some marrieds, but not the millions the media would have us believe or the exodus some trumpet. There are millions and millions and millions more BM/BW relationships.</p>
<p>Earth to Ann…why are you arguing with a thread from 07?</p>

<p>It is not common, but it is becoming more common for a white man to seek a black woman. I am a black woman in a relationship with a German-American man. Three of my aunts have children/been married to white men so…</p>
<p>Interracial relationships are more common in Europe than in America. In the U.K., for example, 50% of black women are with white men.</p>
<p>All and all, I don’t see what the big deal is. It is well-known that the more educated a black woman is, the more likely see will date interracially or not date/marry at all. The more educated I’ve become, the less likely it is to meet black guys who are on my level (not that I really care). Besides, I have more in common with white American men anyway (from the suburbs, come from an educated, two-income household, born in wedlock, have a father figure, etc).</p>

<p>Typically if the man is black, yes, she will marry down. But usually, in a black woman/white man relationship, they are both on the same level in terms of attractiveness, education, careers, etc. White men rarely date down, but black men almost always date down. But most successful black women that I know are single, sometimes with kids.</p>
<p>Holy resurrected thread, Batman!</p>
<p>What pointless, tired, stale thread. Oh, the topic has merit for discussion…but some of faux psycho analysis here is, well, melodramatic and perplexing.</p>
<p>Lazarus? Is that you?</p>
