All you beautiful black ladies should jump on the band wagon and hook up with us white guys, and REALLY get the ball rolling.At 44 years old, I`ve only met a handful of african american women interested in white men, compared to black men interested in white women.It`s a shame. Us white guys have alot to offer too.

From what I`ve heard the main reason why they are racist is because where dark people congregate (live) it is normally dirty and dangerous and the crime is high. I think they associate dark skin with all of those things. Not sure if they all actually care about the color of a persons skin. They just associate things way too often. The only skin I don`t think is beautiful is overly tanned, orange skin, lol.

mazziemom Female, 30-39, Midwest US 18 Posts	Sunday, June 5, 2011 4:12:45 PM This baffles me. I recently had a chance to visit another part of the country where the "black" skin tone was on average much darker than it is where I live. I was stunned by the beauty of it, I couldn't believe just how much more my eye was drawn to it. I openly gawked at times, feeling foolish, but the beauty was almost overpowering to me. To think that dark skin is less beautiful, just seems so silly. Of course I also think its just stupid to think that any color skin is "better" than any other as well. I felt almost racist simply because I felt that the darker skinned people I was seeing were so stunning... but I consoled myself with thinking that at least if I were being racist in some manner it was opposite of the normal stereotype.
