enter deneta and her white boy, this week's featured couple.
"...both native Virginians and shared a passion for social justice, becoming friends while painting a mural at a homeless shelter in Boston. 'I was hoping we could be more than friends,' said Mr. Sells..."
y'all know I had to make that as tenuous and hypothetical as possible. Can't have the revolutionary black gangsta posse swooping down to renege my black card and steal my flag. i'm just saying, what would my fly (yes he'd have to be to be with me) white boy look like?
, son. droppin' slang in the most ackward way and professing a love so deep for Black culture that he tries to out-Black me. he can't be on some, I hate white people shit.....wigger, please! I don't even tolerate Black people that hate Black people so why would I tolerate you hatin' on your own kind? Cause really people, self-hate is self-hate and I'm not tryin to slay that beast on top of all the sideways glances that are gonna be coming our way. If I'ma be with a white boy, he might as well be all the way white. 4. he'd have to NOT smell like a dog...ever!
5. he'd have to have minimal body hair....that bushy back hair creepin' out your collar is not a good look.
6. he'd have to lay down a superb, dopalicious D game (i'm just sayin').
7. he'd have to have some money, and by money I mean a lot...like a trust fund or something.
8. he'd love me a whole lot more than I'd love him because he'd have to be willing to put up with my occasional rants against the white world without taking it personally.
9. I'd want him to look something like Brody from the Hills
with the quirky sense of humor of Seth from the OC
(love those rich cali white boys!)

You are HILARIOUS! Brody and Seth are both good looks...if I were to consider them in a highly unlikely, last man on earth, I'm going blind and insane type of way!
I watched the Hills episode last night, and I kept tellin' my self Brody can get it!
i love these attributes! my wife is white, and if you flip the gender, our checklist is a match...
thing is-if you love them, you do... knowwhatimsaying? ( smile)
The "Malibu's Most Wanted" looking picture is hilarious!
Seriously, I can't date a white woman that acts like she's doing a bad impression of Taraj Henson's character in Baby Boy. I'd rather deal with a trust-fund having, true to herself, father-would-disown-her-if-he-knew-about-my-black-ass type of white woman.
I only say this because I have dated both a white woman and an asian woman who talked like they grew up in the worst part of Southeast...then conveniently switch back to standard english when it's convenient! LOL
ARRRGH!!
This is the kind of shit that keeps such a high percentage of black women single.
I know it's all for shits and giggles, but imagine for a second if this were written by a white man.
All these strigent requirements for one specfic ethicity of HUMAN he'd date.
Sounds bigoted, right?
The real righteous, down, brothers and sisters and too busy doing what they need to do to CARE whether or not others think they are down.
My point is simply this. Whatever requirements you have for a man (or woman) you date should be the same across the board.
Forget skin-color.
whoa dcmoviegirl quit hating, i bet you are single right now!
it's official ladies...we are in business! now on to my reply...
no...the kinda shit that keeps a high percentage of black women single is not even considering the possibility of dating outside the race...so loyal are we to the black man. i've had sistas look at my like i had two heads when i spoke about possibly dating a white dude...one even commented that she would never do it b/c marriage is a political statement
gurl stop! so you'd rather be alone than in a loving relationship with someone who so happens not to be black?
and i'ma have to disagree with this here: "The real righteous, down, brothers and sisters and too busy doing what they need to do to CARE whether or not others think they are down." uhhhh i dont know what "righteous, down" black folks you know but the ones round these parts wouldn't be caught dead with a white man or woman on their harm.
clearly this post represents my view from where I sit. and if i wanna flip flop my requirements depending on the day, the skin color, or the time since my last relationship, i will do so cause it's me and him that gotta be looking at each other for the rest of our lives!
this is something that i've thought about, and i dare say, more black women should think about unless you just happen to like sleeping alone every night...
Hey "anonymous"...Very thoughtful response. :)
...And sorry, no not single.
Mint Julep,
So, who a man/women dates trumps his/her deeds?
Wow. That makes ABSOLUTELY ZERO sense.
And oh, boy did you miss the point. Black, white, red, yellow and/or any variation thereof, NO woman should limit themselves based on that.
...BUT to make dating requirements race-based instead of MAN-based is bigoted.
And just as I said to anonymous's eloquent response.
Nope, not single, sorry to smash your hopes.
I found this post confusing. It obeys the "be outrageous or provocative" commandment for getting one's post noticed. And there was a swipe at the "revolutionary black gangsta posse." So perhaps it was intended merely to be funny and snarky. But I also found in this post a strong undercurrent of anger and, yes, racism. If a similar sentiment was written by a white man regarding black women, I think it would have sparked outrage. Didn't that happen with Don Imus?
Never read this blog before... but...this post had me rolling. Loved it, coming back for more.
not to beat a dead horse but check out this article re: a white police officer fired for making a "hood handbook" for his collegues...one of his "excuses" -- i'm married to a black woman. tell me again how interracial relationships don't have the additional dynamic of ...uhhh...race!

Dayum, I had juuuust commented when I read a post where one of the lovely ladies was complaining about lack of options, and I suggested, "the other white meat."
But one reality that makes me apprehensive is that I've never felt that white (or other colors) see black women as an object of desire (unless they're the "wigger" type that was mentioned). But the trust fund having, preppy, mid-west boys don't talk about black women as their trophy ladies...(save Beyonce, and Halle). I mean really, when was the last time I white man went out of his way to flirt with you? I've heard that white men secretly desire us, but it's on some sexual experimentation shit, not potential wifey stuff.
I enjoyed reading this post and the comments. I have to agree with Mint Julep. Life is too short to be waiting for that tall, dark & handsome brother to come along. I have been in relationships with both races & was proposed to recently by a white man. I accepted his proposal and am headed to the chapel 3.7.09 !!
Relationships have obstacles regardless of race. The best we can do is not limit ourselves as black women. I took a chance with this relationship & it was the best decision I ever made. This man made a commitment to me, loves me unconditionally, accepts me as I am & gives me the desires of my heart. I am living the life of my dreams because I let myself love freely.
Ultimately, you should want a God-fearing man who will love you like Christ loves the church--even if he happens to be white or any other race besides your own.
p.s. -- don't fall for those bedroom myths about white men either !!
Beautiful article and photos you have. Racism should be a thing of the past.
It's really amazing seeing that happy couple successfully sharing their love until marriage. How I wish I will meet the man of my dreams now and be with him forever!
I met this guy and he is pretty fly for a white guy.
