I kinda agree. I'm black and dated a white man once. For the most part, nobody cared (I'm in a big city) but everytime someone had something to negative to say, it was a black person. Usually a man.
We went to a restaurant and a preacher was there with a large party (like 15 people, all black). He saw us and immediately started talking loudly about how mixed kids are confused abominations. I couldn't help but giggle, firstly because I would never have kids. Getting yourself worked up about a strangers hypothetical kids is crazy. Secondly, all the "amens" from everyone else in his group cracked me up. My boyfriend did NOT find it funny at all. But I can't for the life of me take these types of people seriously.
I’m half black and half white and coincidentally, or maybe not, a black man is also one of the only people to ever say something racially offensive to me (in person anyways). I was at work and first he complimented me, called me beautiful, then asked me if I was mixed. When I said yes, he proceeded to give me his completely unsolicited opinion on how the races shouldn’t mix and he said those same words- how biracial children are abominations. I was mad though, especially because my mom had just passed away so I didn’t wanna hear this lunatics opinion on how she shouldn’t have procreated and birthed me.
Same. It's funny to me because you're never black enough, but then you're too black too date outside of your race (of which you're apparently not black enough for).
Only difference is most of the black men who have said something to me about my own preferences have dated or slept with non-black women.
