In reply to the discussion: Why do so many more black men marry white women than vice versa? [View all]kimbutgar
(26,240 posts)My sister is also married to a white man. We grew up in white areas so we were both comfortable with white men. The black men I was interested in were only into white women. But I know several black women who would never date a white man and are looking for a good brother unfortunately the good brothers who are worthwhile want white women. My husband has helped thaw perceptions of the scary white man with some of my black women friends.
But I think it's harder for a white man to take a black women home. You have to have a thick skin if your white boyfriend's family and friends are closet racists. Asian women are easier for them to accept than a black women. I broke the barrier in my husbands family, now one of his cbousin's daughter is married to a biracial black man and another nephew is married to a Hispanic woman. They all look up to us as a stable marriage after some same race divorces in the family.
