Why White Guys Don't Pursue Black Women


In a world where racism is rumored to be on the decline, there sure are a lot of signs that would suggest otherwise.


While interracial relationships are starting to become slightly less taboo, at least in the US, rarely does one ever see a married couple composed of a white man and a black woman.

You know why that is? White men are afraid that they can't measure up to their black, male counterparts and, in order to avoid feeling emasculated, they don't pursue black women.

Now let me back up here for a second, because the above statement is one that needs to be qualified.

For starters, I'm not expert on this subject- and what I mean by that is, I don't know if the average white guy's endowment is necessarily any smaller than that of a black guy's.

What I do know, is that the stereotype does exist that black men are more gifted than white men, and that alone might be enough to discourage these particular interracial relationships. After all, once you go black, you never go back, right?

Another aspect of this conversation that needs to be taken into account is the fact that there seem to be more serious relationships between black men with white women, than there are with the genders flipped. Our current president, here in the US, is Barack Obama, a man born to a black man, and a white woman. While it would be pretty ridiculous to suggest that one instance of a black male/white female relationship means they occur more often on the whole, there are definitely a great deal more of them in the mainstream of American culture.

Of course, there's always the issue of racism (voiced or not) that will keep a good deal of people from ever considering interracial relationships in the first place. However, I think it's definitely worth asking the question, why certain groups just won't seem to "mix," even in our increasingly "enlightened" society.
Anyway, by now I've definitely offended a good portion of my white, male audience. As a consolation, I give you this is advice: the next time someone accuses you of prejudice for having never dated a black woman, let them know, "It's not that I'm racist, I just have low self-esteem and a remakably small penis."

Of course, sometimes, there are reasons for this sort of thing. Ouch.

  1. The last line of this one is good. I wanted to provide you with this resource of famous mixed people: http://www.blackflix.com/articles/multiracial.html It seems that in many of the couples where the mom is black the dad is Jewish, so there is precedence if you ever chose to find someone a few shades darker than yourself. :)
