If a woman has a past relationship with a black man she's tainted forever. Why?

Oh, come on. Don’t hide your light under a bushel.

That’s the third guy on this page alone who joined just to spread their ignorance on this one topic. At least, I assume it’s three guys.

It’s a real crowd pleaser, this thread. I think I’ll sign up on random message boards and post that I have no interest in dating anyone of any gender, race, sexual preference, or national origin. Or anyone who has dated same.

I have never laughed so much at the SDMB. This is the best thread EVAR!!!

Part of me desperately wants to know what Google search terms bring up this thread.

Even if it turns out to be +“Really Not All That Bright” +“black cocks”?

I would try that combination to see if this thread is at the top of the search list, but my google history is already sufficiently odd.

That one does it!

I thought I saw a statistic in a not-very-old National Geographic, though, that stated that THE least common marriage combination in the U.S. (at least amongst heterosexual couples) is: Asian man, African-American woman. I don’t remember the %, but I’m pretty sure I remember that it was the lowest one.

Well, you’d kind of expect that grouping (though not necessarily the gender portion) to be uncommon. Black people are a small fraction of the population and Asians are an even smaller fraction.

Without Googling or anything, just off the top of my head:

Idina Menzel - Taye Diggs
Heidi Klum - Seal
Chelsea Handler - 50 Cent

I really wouldn’t call any of those women unattractive, lacking in confidence, unsuccessful or not bringing anything to the relationship.

I’m white, older (but so is my SO), attractive, make good money, fit, blah blah and my SO is British, black and owns his own business (fitness related - and he is VERY fit) with several locations (so he makes an extremely good living, even more than I do).

Heidi Klum and Chelsea Handler are “older”, aren’t they?

I see what you did there.

I’m not spreading anything - just giving my view on this subject. And who are you to judge me as “ignorant”? Is anyone who disagrees with you ignorant? My position is every bit as valid as yours and is the overwhelming majority opinion among my generation.

Eliza Dushku - Rick Fox
Mariah Carey - Nick Cannon
Ellen Pompeo - Chris Ivery

Dushku is an accomplished actress, an alum of the “Buffy” universe, “Tru Calling,” and “Dollhouse” TV series as well as film success. Carey is a phenomenal pop star. Pompeo is the eponymous Dr. Meredith Grey on “Grey’s Anatomy,” now running in its eleventh season.

In this particular case, yes.

I doubt that statement.

Your “position” is that there is some sort of taint that arises following a white woman’s dating a black man. You defend this position as not based on ignorance.

But I say it is. I say you cannot define or explain the taint you allege exists without relying on claims that are factually untrue, and that makes your position based on ignorance.

But I am willing to be convinced of my error.

One of these women ain’t like the others.

Not sure if it’s what monstro was getting at but Carey is biracial herself. Also, Eliza Dushku and Ellen Pompeo never made anything as terrible as Glitter.

95, huh?
