General Discussion

I was going to post much the same thing.

God forbid anyone should express curiosity here!!!!


Like curiosity is a bad thing. Interesting that some see it that way.

I grew up with that sort of attitude. Don't ask questions!!!

What a cruel way to squash someone's spirit.

I'm a curious person. Luckily, we have the internet now, and I can find the answers to a lot of my questions by doing a search, without ever having to deal with judgmental bullshit from people who seem to be not in the least curious about much of anything.


As for the OP itself.... I would think the best way to get a good answer to your question might be to ask the people involved.

I have two cousins (sisters) who are married to black men.

Then, I have a nephew (white) who just married a black woman this past December. Sort of a funny story about that....my nephew's fiancee's family are from Jamaica originally. Most of them now live in Florida, and the ones who don't made the trip to Orlando to attend the wedding. OTOH, the only family my nephew had down there is one sister and her hubby, my mom and her manfriend, and his parents and another sister and her hubby who traveled from Mass to attend the wedding. So the whole bride's side of the church was filled with dark-skinned guests, while the groom's side had, at the most, maybe ten white skinned guests. So my niece-in-law made my mom laugh when she said she felt so bad for my nephew that she was thinking of going out and grabbing a bunch of white people in off the street to put on his side of the church to even things out.




Oh, so anyway, in my family the ratio is 2:1 in favor of white women marrying black men as opposed to white men marrying black women.

Not sure what it means, but it's all cool.
