I can be someones ivory hahah  

String said "The tables are turning, notice that on dating sites Black Women looking for White men,Spoke with Black Women before and she prefers White Men. I am thinking this awesome. "

What is the point of this thread and the tables are turning with black and white dating?  
 
Is this not 2015?  
 
I find this post offensive to white and black daters. There should be no line.  
 
This isn't a dating site.

I'm sort of a old fart but am completely amazed at some things. Way back in 1992 I had what would be sort of my first personal contact with interracial relationships. We went to a wedding in Windsor or the Detroit area. For myself it seemed strange but after talking to some of the couples it became clear that people are people, and couples are couples, and love or relationships are usually blind when it comes to color. It seems that in some areas we are so far behind the times that it makes one shake their head. There may be some steroptypical ideas that may be implied by the title but I think we have progressed enough that these ideas are something of the past.

Interracial relationships are nothing new. I don't really understand why it's awesome in 2015 that interracial relationships exist?

Aren't Robert Nesta Marley, Tiger Woods, and President Barack Obama the offspring of biracial couples? I am almost positive that they were all born prior to 1992.

Some white Women prefer Black Men, Latin Men, or other Women.  
 
Most people would say nothing wrong with that,but, when I say something like this, people get offended.  
 
I like to say the spectrum is supposed to be equal.  
 
If your offended you have the problem, not me, it's your problem.  
 
I like to call this freedom of speech.

I don't find what you say offensive but I do find it incredibly naïve . This isn't earth shattering news so the point you were trying to make is lost on me

Obviously interracial dating has been ongoing for many years now. But I think I see his point. I notice white girls with black guys all the time but not so much the other way around.

That is sort of the idea that I was referring to, for some reason white women have not felt uncomfortable being with a black man, and even expressing their desire to do so has been accepted by society, but I don't feel that the same can be said when it is reversed.  

Looking to offend or start an argument online? Post your opinion!  
 
I think what the OP stated was simply a comment that if taken the "right" way was actually pretty awesome. Perhaps we as a society should be grateful that there are people who are accepting of what others are doing and not "hating". Just imagine what would have happened if the OP said he thought it was wrong!! Holy hell!!  
 
When it comes to loving someone, the outer shell is just that...the package someone comes in. We would all be lying if we said we didn't have a "type". This can vary slightly depending on our feelings for that person, but there's nothing wrong with wanting what we want.  
 
Peace out people...stay happy and non-judgmental!!

don't see what is offensive here. People on ebrandon seem to read comments for the reason to attack or judge others

I read you String and I also think it's awesome that the stigma against women of colour dating outside their race is starting to lessen. I don't think many people think about that very often. It's much more widely accepted for a man of colour to date outside of his race (though I can tell you from experience there's a lot less acceptance when that dating becomes marriage) than it is for a woman of any colour. I would like to believe that it's a non-issue in this day in age, but I know that's absolutely not the case so I applaud women with the strength of conviction to date whomever they want because it is not always easy.

So amusing lol i grew up in Toronto in the 60s and 70s Black women were with white men , also White women were with Black men , Dating or in marriage , in reality i really do not think its a race thing as much as they just are attracted to each other in other ways, but then again Toronto is a mega city and this would be old news .
