In the ’60s, White people married Blacks to prove they were not racist. That’s not a good reason to get married,” says Dr. Poussaint. “Occasionally you still get the rebellious White person who feels the best way to hurt their family is to marry a Black person.

When someone says, `I can’t find a Black woman so I’ll get me a White woman;’ or if they say, `All Black women are this or that,’ that is frequently a rationalization when they actually are seeking out the White person because they feel that Whites are superior.”
