The Biggest Challenges Of Black Women For Dating

The chips are stacked already, according to a study by Paul R. Amato, PhD (Paul R. Amato) he concludes that the black population is less likely than whites to marry. Blacks are also less satisfied in their relationships which lead to a high rate of divorce. The most disturbing part is that little research has been done to discover the reasons why these statistics are as they are. Some research reported by Mr. Amato claim education and income (or the lack thereof) as reasons marriages do not last in the black family. Be that as it may, the fact remains that the black family is not congruent and often in the hands of the black mother.

Are White Women Attracted To Black Men? Talking about interracial dating and marriage, it is different strokes for different folks. A lot of white women are attracted to black men and a lot of black women are also attracted to white men. However, most people don’t really set out for this. It just happens by chance.

It is unequivocal that interracial dating is not easy. Is any relationship easy, interracial or not? But dating and marriage are not about pleasing others. It is about being with the person you love and want to spend the rest of your life with. Race is not an issue when love is concerned.

What does it mean to you to be a black girl? If you aren’t one, what do you see when you visualize a black girl? If your imagination limits you to just an afro-centric featured, loud and slang-loving, uneducated woman, then this piece is addressed to you. The persistence of the stereotypes concerning average black girls have chained us all to the earlier listed attributes. One side effect of this dangerous connection is the wide opening for a new form of discrimination it creates. Whether it is depicted through slave owners allocating the preferable duties to lighter-skinned black woman, or in modern times where a dislike in rap music categorizes you as not really black, segregation within black communities occur. Tracing all the way back to elementary school, my education on the subject of racial segregation has been constricted to just the injustices routed by dissimilarities between racial groups. What failed to be discussed was the intragroup discrimination occurring in the black society from both outside observers and inside members. Unfortunately, our differences in the level of education, in physical appearance, and in our social factors such as our behaviour, personality or what we believe in have been pitted against each other to deny the variety of unique identities that we as black individuals carry.

Being a black woman, in a “white man’s” world, is a very hard thing to encounter; especially growing up in the south where racism is still clearly evident. Georgiana, Al, the small town I grew up in, a white man owns everything. The only exception is the night club that is open only Thursday thru Saturday, but even that business is on the way of being shut down just because it is a popular business owned by a black man. Growing up I have seen first-hand racism, discrimination, and stereotyping against towards the black community.

“How to Date a Browngirl, Blackgirl, Whitegirl, or Halfie” also exposes the way the main character thinks of girls. He is only worried about how he can make himself come off to the girl in a false pretense that will impress her. The way he hides his real identity when he hides his cheap cheese and pictures shows he is not looking for the girl to like him of accept him, just looking for a physical reward in impressing the girl. If he was looking for the girl to like him, or a relationship beyond the physical level, he would want her to like him and accept him for who he is and how he lives. He also shows that he is not secure in himself when he says “Run a hand through your hair like the whiteboys do even though the only thing that runs easily through your hair is Africa” he feels like being white would make him better and the girl would like him more.

Can you imagine living in a world in which your beauty is not seen as beauty at all? Many black women wake up to this reality every morning. Living the life of an African American female is difficult because you do not fit into the Eurocentric paradigm in which you are forced to be reminded of daily.

Many black girls go thru social identity issues on a daily basis. Skin color has created division even within black people because fairer skin tones are highly praised in the Negro community.

Being an African American woman is even more of a daily challenge. Not only are you expected to be smart, but also as an African American woman you have to prove yourself in multiple ways.

“Black girls are made up of sugar and spice and are thing nice” well at least that The Vanguard organizations says. The Vanguard Organization for Black Women Excellence mission is to support and aspire black women to be excellent in all areas in life. They promote self-love, dignity and education.
