...the same with...it's ok for a black guy to date a white girl but the other way around it would be judged differently..?..there again though I completely bow to your knowledge and experiences and there is certainly judgement in the comments in the vid but those are surely individual comments and saying something about an individual rather than a 'general black guy' type thing..I mean in all of our worlds, what's good for the male is sometimes not good for the female.../we just have to look at something like Big Brother to see that.../how a female, any female is judged much more harshly and in a way that males aren't for their general relationship and sexual behaviour...


..I mean I totally agree with you about the vid and the comments and that there is prejudice in some but I guess what I'm trying to say is that in any colour and in any world, how much has to also be put down to general being an idiot in character of individuals..it's kind of taking each individual thing for me I guess and some things will be prejudice against skin colour without question but some won't, they'll be more prejudicing against gender and sexism...and if 'black' is factored in when it didn't apply then does it not just contribute to a prejudice...


...ughhh, I'm useless at getting thoughts straight in my head in the mornings but hopefully that makes a little bit of sense...

Trust me it's not just an individual thing under the video. It's an everyday thing black women go through and there are tons of forums where black women are discussing this. I just read a thread called ''I'm beginning to hate black men'' where these were discussed at length and this was before this video.

''the same with...it's ok for a black guy to date a white girl but the other way around it would be judged differently..?'' yes unfortunately that's the way some black guys think, which I don't understand but they think like this. Black girls with white guys are called bend wenches and all sorts. And the favorite ''black women are at the bottom of the barell and you're just a fetish'' I suppose black men feel like being in an interracial relationship makes them feel special and they're somehow think that it makes them better than their race (it doesn't) so it's a blow when a black woman is doing the same. I see black women and men arguing back and forth and it's always the lady saying who you date doesn't make you special get over it. You're just dating a human. Then the black men goes into the myth that all of them have BBC and that's why they're preferred...sigh...my head... literally the same arguments from them. It's a lengthy complicated subject.
