remember yall it goes both ways. look at Halle Berry, Tyra, Serena, Naomi, and others. They ain't dating white guys for nothing. Open your eyes it is a reason for that. its because Black men have issues and baggage too that high profile black women don\'t want to deal with. Black men carry the same ol' baggage too. it goes both ways. its just sisters now are a little too tired of the bullshit.

To Dawn and every other ignorant person---GET A LIFE it's no longer about race, it's about the person

you know what---who really ownes essence. the comments on this site are outrageious.

why are black men on this site? this story ain't for yall. why are yall so interested in essence. go read a black man's magazine or something. its cause once we really leave yall asses for god forbid the WHITE MAN, yall assess is tall grass. LOL

Chris describe yourself. this way i can tell if you are really white.

When it is all said and done, who has the highest unemployment rate: black men. Read the study about the wealth gap between blacks and whites. Blacks are at the bottom and whites at the top, and the black family, whatever that is left, is trailing behind only because of the income of black woman, not white women. My point is black men's wages have decreased only to be made equal because of black the black women's. So my point is this: black men are falling wayyyyyyyyyyyy behind other groups, and he will eventually disappear because he don't have black women's support, and that is his fault all the way around.

To be honest, Dawn does have some points. Black men and women are incompatible these days. As an older person, I remember when black women were calmer and more supportive, but in today's society, most are bitter, manhood degrading, and downright hateful. I support any decent black man who has made something out of himself to search for happiness regardless of race instead of settling for an average black woman that does not appreciate him and does nothing but make being in a relationship with them unbearable and full of self-hate.

Ladies, let the bad history involving black women and white men go. Slavery was a long time ago, let the history about the rapes dissipate. open and your mind. and experience love from other groups of men be it white or other.

And look at Africa........its all f'd up. AIDS and everything.......

That's why I rather live in America and Europe than Africa any time in Humanity. I hate African American men and African men.

Michelle, shut yo stupid ass up

Do you think white men chat all day about why they date BW? doubt it...and black men? Im sure they dont either. I would love to have a town hall meeting of some sort and get to the root of the issue. Black Men are just not into us, its so apparent from LA to NY, even in Africa! They dont love who they see in the morning, they dont value tradition or culture. I dont know what else to say..

Some of these comments that were left here are 'straight-out-of-a ballpark' bonkers!!! Now, in regards to the article, I am supportive for interracial relationships and is supportive of anyone who is in an interracial relationship. I always felt that if you happen to be in a great, loving, passionate relationship with someone, why should your partner's physical apperance hinder the progress of your relationship?

Chris i can tell the way you write and talk you are not a White guy. stop frontin.

Chris i know that you posted this last message, but sorry i don't apologize to black men at all. get over it; i don't like black men's racism towdard black women so stop trying respond about my bias on this issue. and anyway this is a site for black women; so why are you on here commenting on anything. take yo ass over to cosmopolitan or Maxim and talk to white girls.
