Black men………?
It’s just I was watching videos on youtube and I found all these videos of black men bashing black women,they were so disrespectful and I’m not to saying all black men are mean and disrespectful but it seems like as I was younger black boys were always treated the black girls real mean but the lighter skinned girls they treated them with respect. I’ve kinda gotten to the point I feel like all black men hate black women. I really feel like, I shouldn’t try to get a black man because they don’t really like me anyways because of my skin color. I feel like sometimes I’d have a better chance, dating out my race then with a black man. Not that i’m saying if I date a non black man there all going to be respectful and polite, but I just think a majority of black men act prejudice against black women. It’s like if your light skinned or a light skinned black girl, your treated nicer even if your disgusting and you have the most terrible additude.
And I really do like black men, it’s just… I kinda gave up. I don’t know what to do. I know I shouldn’t listen to all those vid on youtube but it just like almost every black guy I know, treated or talks about black women bad, and they talk about them really bad if they are darker skinned. And it’s like if it’s a dark skinned man and someone says something about them they get mad.
It’s not just about videos on youtube. it’s about black culture and how a lot of black men treat darker skinned girl worse then they do the lighter skinned girls. And I’m not saying all black men, that would be stupid to say all black men.
Gad M, I don’t think you read my whole question!. I wasn’t saying because of some videos on youtube that all black men treat black women bad duh. Maybe you should read before you leave a rude comment.

I know alot of black people can relate to the light vs. dark issue. I’m black and i’m not even that dark and I can remember when I was little having a fight w/ a cousin who was lighter than me and being told by my half brother (who is darker than me) that I should always be friends w/ her because she is going to get invited to all the parties because she is a “red bone”. What I learned to do was tell myself that there was nothing I could do about my skin color and if someone didn’t like me or want to date me because of it the hell with them. That’s not some one you want to be around anyway.
As for dating, it’s ok to date whoever you like regardless of race. I know alot of times for some reason black women are told not to date out of their race. I grew up around alot of people who felt that way and I always worried about what they would say but now I don’t care. I do as I please. You can meet alot of nice men of different races when you open your mind to it. My current bf isn’t black and sometimes people say stuff or give looks but we don’t care we have fun.

All men are hard to speak about; groups of them are easier. There must be black men who respect women; there are white men who treat women worse than dogs.
I find it strange that you should want to date a man because of his colour. It may be natural but it sounds rather like desperation. I am sure a girl such as you who thinks about things and tries to work out the ways of the world can do better than that. Date someone you like; not necessarily someone whom you are passionate about but someone with whom you can feel comfortable. If things grow a little more intense then you can assess if you want to go down that road.
Hold yourself dear. You want respect, happiness, security.
You don’t want a quick passionate fling and then being left holding the consequences. I know it seems hard to take when all the birds are mating and everyone else seems to be fixed up but set out your standards without blowing any trumpets. Be pleasant and courteous, even to the bums. Show that you respect yourself and you are not there just for the taking. Then someone will regard you for what you are: a pearl of great price, as the book says.

Aww don’t feel that way. As you stated not all men are like those fools in the videos. I understand that some black men have little to no problem going interracial or not liking a woman because of her skin tone but trust when I say there are alot who aren’t like that at all. You just have to look a little harder. Don’t give up hope. =)
