Have you ever asked him?

Yes I did! I asked him what it was that he first noticed (or was attracted to) about me and he said my lips (pure black ooman lips mi ha, awhoa ) my height and my colour. ~lol~

True story: I was having lunch a couple weeks ago when this cute looking young interracial couple (he was white, she black) sat at the table across from me, baby in stroller. After they finished eating, and after a bit of cuddling and PDA, she told him she had to go to the bathroom to wash her hands, etc., and that when she returned, "You need to go as well"
Him: Why?
Her: Because you just ate!
Him: <silence>
Me: <Just about 'deading' with laughter on the inside>
Ah, some of the challenges....

not out in the <span style="text-decoration: line-through">sticks</span> regions, apparently. and if it's not happening there it doesn't count, i guess.
OK, so that is YOUR point of view and if you're comfortable with that stance, then more power to you. But why make it seem that anybody else who decides to do otherwise is doing something wrong? </div></div>
Psst Pssst....CEW, exactly where did I say that!!

He has reached 18 and by the way in Ontario, kids are considered to be "adults" and can live independently from 16. My son can do whatever the heck he pleases but the day he hooks up with a White woman. My financial support will end. He knows that. It's his choice what he does with it.

Diefinitely, with the late teen early 20 crowd, there is a shift. I have seen that too. Short Asian men with blondes. Black girls with White men, Asian men you name it. It still isn't level....i.e. you still see more Black males in interracial pairings than Black females.

Oh yes SOME are but relatively few compared to the number of Black men dating women of other races and MOST White men will still say they don't find Black women attractive and wouldn't consider dating them.

Meaning that 2X as many Black men marry White women as Black women marry White men. By and large, Black men marry Black women. The root of the problem is the shortage of Black men in the FIRST place....

Yup.... this is definitely a non-issue. Well done. The playing field is finally level.
BTW, those of you who hurled insults during this thread have now been placed on ignore.Life is just too short to waste time on nasty and immature people.
If you disagree with me (or anyone else for that matter), why not try defending your POV with facts, figures, statistics, and data. Resorting to insults just makes <span style="font-weight: bold">YOU </span> look childish and immature. It is also an indication that you are having trouble backing up your postion with FACTS.
Those of you who had a good laugh have also been placed on ignore. Have fun but remember, your childish insults and put downs and your <span style="font-style: italic">"titter, titter, titter "</span> when others are insulted reflect poorly on <span style="font-weight: bold"> <span style="font-size: 14pt"> YOU</span></span> not on me.
Remember this thread may have been started by me but the discussion was not initiated by me. It was initiated by others in a totally different thread. So maybe you might want to ensure that when you feel the need to fling rockstone, you are flinging them at the right person.
I am also disappointed that a Christian admin. for whom I have a high level of respect came into this thread and saw the totally unprovoked insults and mocking and said nothing. Very disappointing indeed. I guess the board rule about not insulting people doesn't apply when the person being insulted is <span style="font-weight: bold">ME</span>!
