As a black man who's dated his share of white girls since I was a teenager, I caught heat on both ends. That is, my girlfriends' fathers, and my own mother. They both handled things differently but the bottom line is that neither parent was a big fan of my relationships with white chicks.

The reason is simple: My mother didn't like it because she took personal offense to me choosing a woman of a different skin tone than her. In her mind she's subconsciously thinking: 'My son is supposed to look for a woman like me so why is he choosing the polar opposite?' My mother is a poor example of a woman period.....skin tone be damned. She made bad and selfish choices throughout my childhood and I witnessed the all up close and personal. As a result, I subconsciously thought to myself 'well if this is what black women are like, I'm stayin' away....fuck that noise.'

Of course I wasn't thinking that as a teenager but that's probably one of the main reasons I stay away from black women (trust me...there are scores of other reasons).

I can't speak for white girls and why they choose to be mudsharks but my guess is that one of the reasons is not unlike mine. Maybe they had a sad excuse for a father and decided to go the other way. Maybe they're just being rebellious and it's just a phase (she'll be lucky if it's just a phase if she manages not to be seen by other people which is highly unlikely as white girls love to broadcast their taste in black men to everyone who'll look and listen). Whatever the case may be, their fathers probably take offense to it much like my mom did.

Yes, white fathers with white daughters know that fuckin' with black dudes is bad for her SMV. It makes her radioactive to other white guys, if she has a mixed baby with the dude it makes her equally radioactive, etc. But I think that white fathers and black mothers (and to a lesser degree black fathers and white mothers) take it personally when their offspring choose someone of a different race.

I'd be interested to hear opinions and experiences on this. What say you?
