Ignoring the side discussion with our extremely racist friend, I had another thought about this. The couple of men whom I knew who had this viewpoint - that is, that women were tainted after they’d slept with a black man - didn’t really make it out to be a physical thing. In fact it was usually one of these:
She didn’t really like black men, she was just dating them to get revenge on Daddy.
She had low standards for what makes a good man, so she dated black men because she had poor self-esteem/was ignorant.
She was slutty, so she slept with anyone, including black men.
She was trying to make some kind of point about how inclusive she was (sorry, pun not intended), and how non-racist.
That’s not to say that they didn’t also feel that she was tainted in some physical way, but those were the reasons they generally cited or felt.
This is purely a musing post. I do not subscribe to any of the above views.
So, essentially “It’s inconceivable that a white woman would want to be with a black man because he’s a great person. Therefore, she must just be stupid/insane/PC/slutty/a bad person.”
Whew! I guess I can cancel that Amazon order of “Taint-B-Gone.”
If anything, that’s more offensive. Now it’s not only about how black men are inferior, or a “taint”, or whatever, but also about how women are incapable of making choices certain men don’t agree with unless they’re stupid, mentally ill, or trying to make a point.
Wow! I am stunned by the (forgive me) degree of ignorance displayed in this question! I could name a ton of high profile white women who date (J Lo and Heidi Klum) and marry black men; My well educated cousin, and my mom amoung them. My black male friends tell me Iin Germany women line up to try them out.
This I will say living in a redneck hotbed I do meet men who refer to women who have children by black men as having no respect for themselves. Knowing the women I would say these guys just don’t want to admit they are racist. Frankly I could care less who my girlfriend has dated.
Well, this seems to be the thread where I can offer an unspoken theory and have it contradicted, without coming across as a racist asshole. The theory is thus;
Guys who chase Asian women have small appendages
Why do I have this theory? The size of prophylactics vary, depending on which country you’re in.
I knew a black guy years ago who hated mexicans and asians and considers any black woman tainted if been with either.
Everyone’s different, nothing’s going to change. Reality is what it is so the often hypocritical justice league crowds might as well give it up.
Things have changed a lot. Interracial relationships are becoming increasingly common. We’re winning. Racists are losing. They are losing slowly, but they are losing. “Nothing’s going to change” is demonstrably false.
And you can’t insult me by saying I’m for justice.
Has anybody ever known a woman who was remotely interested in an overweight, melon-headed, self-published sci-fi geek, if she wasn’t morally, spiritually, and economically broken, possibly meth-addicted, and definitely uglier than what my cat left in the bathtub?
A man who thought this way might be racist. Or very insecure. Since “all” black dudes are hung (yes, I know, another stereotype) they probably fear they could never, ahem, measure up.
I think it would depend on WHY she was dating him. It she was into “bling” and one of those nightclub girls who liked to hit on rap stars and athletes. Yeah. Or maybe she was just into him for the sex then yes. She is tainted.
Now if she just found the guy to be good looking, funny, clever, interesting or whatever and they developed a good friendship from that, then I say no. He was just another guy.
The International Consortium of the Study of Irrational Thought and Bigotry wants to know if you’d like to be a test subject, perhaps as one of their controls.
They asked drifter777 first, but his cloak and hood were held up at the dry cleaners.
