I mean we hadn't even dated, I didn't even really know her that well.. and once I found out about it I was instantly turned off.

Perhaps you should have taken the time to get to know her (There is more to women then just their looks, you know) before thinking so much about some guy she dated(why is the guy even an issue? It's not like you're planing on dating him). The fact that you even have to think about this means you have SOME kind of issue with black people. You might not be a full blown rasist, but what you've said makes you look a tad bigoted.

If she fvcked a gang banger crack dealer, prob not, but otherwise yep...

I've dated a black chick, so I guess I can't have a double standard. (well... date & one night stand aren't the same thing are they?)

Without going into detail, although most people will probably get the gist of what I'm saying...

It doesnt depend on the color of his skin per se, but the *kind* of person he is.

That is all.

Also, think about this, if you dated a hot black or Asian girl. Then this hot white girl wouldn't go out with you because of that. wouldn't that be a tad racisit too?

The OP is entitled to not fvck any woman he so chooses to not fvck for whatever reasons he feels.

Frankly, I've seen some women not date guys for a lot crappier reasons (see: "He's to nice") than this one. Although, I admit this is a pretty crappy reason. He's still entitled to his opinions though, its not like love/sex has ever been an avenue ruled by logic...its mostly about acting like a retard.

Inclined to agree there. If he was a 'gang banging crack dealer' like the exemple Pliablemoose gave, I might stay away. But otherwise I don't see what the problem is.

Because some of the questions posted here totally blow my mind.This is 2005
not 1805. I'd be more concerned with how somebody conducted themselves within and while exiting their prior relationships and what they felt they'd learned from those experiences than anything else.Worrying over the skin tone of a prospective date's prior partners ? wow!


If your reading comprehension was better you'd realize... I am not choosing to not like this person. I am not thinking to myself about how I don't like black people (since that ISN'T the case) I just noticed that I was totally turned off by her previous experiences...


on the otherhand, would you date a porn star dude that had banged 400 women? Why? It was all stuff from the past......

edit:

and to STRETCH my words to say I'm 'worrying' about who she was with is a huge overstatement.

Also, this employee of mine, her roomate was this cute Asian girl.
She had set us up for a date and everything and when I found out her ex was black, I never went on that date.

Not a racist, just a preference. Its like me chosing not to date an ugly girl.


Aren't you black? i always thought you were...

It is because black guys have a stereotype of having a big penis and some guys are turned off by it. They are insecure and do not want to be with a girl who has been with a black guy. Yes black guys can have a small penis and white guys can be hung like a horse.

Yes it is his opinion BUT you could have you opinion that you hate all black/english guys etc. Separating something by 'colour' is being racist. If you separate by 'personality' or individual merits that is different AS people of ALL colour can be in that group and be separated on something else other then 'skin colour'. A person CAN NOT CHOOSE their own skin killer (Jacko tried to and look how he turned out :p). A person can choose to be annoying, dishonest, liar etc.

It's like saying we can't hire you because your WHITE. We don't care about your skills/ personality just we'll COMPLETELY DISMISS you because YOUR xxx skin colour. It isn't racist it is just an opinion

BUT if you just said you didn't like girls who had been guys with a 9" penis then you would not be racist.

I had this group of European/ Polish or something groupo and these kids were making stupid chinese noisys. Do we really need it in the 21st century? I was going out with my Polish mate and this group of tourists do a thing like that I was thinking wtf? Man if I had him in a ring 1v1 I'd have beat the hell out of him but street fighting against a big group is not good and the police don't like it...those people were fvcking morons.

you are looking way too far into it. I think it's just a... a 'nature' thing. something that is wired inside of people (me?) that simply makes me not want to do it.

40% of the people who are in this thread felt similar to how I did.. so I must not be that strange

It has nothing to do with penis size, I'm sure.

And sure, skin color by itself does not determine ANYTHING, but youre absolutely kidding yourself if you think that there are no racial/cultural differences, and while whether or not its *right* to do so, you could most certainly make statistical judgements about a race. Which is what I believe is the basis of racism anyway.

At least he is being honest to himself.

Opinions CAN BE RACIST.

Of course people are allowed to have their own opinions. But your opinions can be racist.

If you separate people on the grounds of SKIN COLOUR you are racist. If you separate on past history/ skills/ personality you are not racist.

:roll:

he didn't say he hated all black people.

what he said was he wouldn't DATE a girl that had been with a white person.

shoot, i have never in my life dated anyone not asian. does that make me racist? NO, it just means that when i date i'm looking for a future mate and i think it best for me to stay with someone who has a lot of the same cultural values and background as myself.

I think the only way we as humans are going to be able to get pasts our differences with people of other races is to confront our issues and concerns. On the one hand I applaud the OP for being honest enough to admit to himself that he has a problem but on the other hand as a black guy I still feel a bit offended. After all black men are still people too, we have feelings and emotions just like everyone else. So to find out that come guys would'nt date a girl because she dated a black man in the past does'nt really help out in the self esteem department.

I could be wrong but I think the way to get past issues like these is to try to bond or really get to know someone from whatever race you might have a problem with. You may find that whatever differences you thought were there are very small. Take myself for example, just to look at me I would automatically be categorized as the big black guy. In the past I've had coworkers and associates kind of shun me because of what kind of person they thought I would be based on appearance, but after getting to know me they learn I'm not what they would expect.

I guess the media is partially at fault, most images of black men are not that favorable. And it does'nt help when rappers sell the image of thugs and pimps. And while its true that some black guys really are some of those things, it does'nt apply to every black guy. My friends and I were never involved in gangs, illegal activities, etc.. In fact we were more interested in the next role playing game to hit the PC rather than trying to look tough on a street corner. But these are things you would never know if you just assume that all people are one particular way.

I know I'm probably rambling in this reply, so I'll end with this last thought. For every person who may have an issue with peopel of another race, whether its black, white, spanish, indian or whatever. Try to get to really know someone from that race because in the end people are people. We all share the same type of feelings and goals, we all are just looking for a little peace and happiness when its all said and done.

Hmmm...still the 'nature' thing is up for debate. Who say the KKK weren't just more 'natured' about it then the rest of the population?

Try and think 'why' it is you wouldn't do it..

Armatron, I feel what you're saying and I'm not so quick to brand a big red "R" on you... but here's my question:

What would have happened if you heard she had dated a well-educated, well-groomed, well- traveled, and well-employed black man, and not the stereotypical MTV portrayal of one? Speaking honestly, would this have changed your opinion?

If so, then you need to be careful with the phrasing of your questions because it does make you come across as prejudicial in your thought process (not that we all aren't to some degree, but you know how things work in this PC world).

If not, then of course there is some glaring prejudice which you are entitled to but you will most definitely catch bullshit for, particularly on a public forum. I know that a girl's priors can speak volumes of her character, but without specific info on the priors themselves, it basically comes across as racist if you assume that all black guys are of low character. Unless you're stating something else than that. I'm interested in the elaboration...

Thats my $0.02, from the well-educated, well-groomed, well- traveled, and well-employed black man's perspective ;)

EDIT: sorry platinumgold, edited out from underneath you.

Actually its not a nature thing, there have been studies on this by observing young children. Young kids will play and interact with each other regardless of the color, but as they grow older based on their environment and upbringing thats when these suspicions and prejudices of other races creep in.
