Find an Interracial Friend Today!

Spungen & trumwill: Black women’s antipathy towards interracial dating is no myth, and the topic of much discussion in black women’s magazines and the fodder for quite a few black comedy routines (the most famous of which being Chris Rock’s routine on how black men are indifferent to white men who come to black clubs because they know black women will pay them no attention).

I’m a black woman from an upper-middle class background and most of my black female friends who are also upper-/middle class simply will not date interracially. I’m quite unusual in my social circle in that I regularly date white men - my black friends are not hostile about this at all (well, the female ones anyway - the men are somewhat less charitable), but the general vibe is “That’s great if it works for you, but it’s not my thing” and will generally brush off white men who express interest in dating them.

Those who’ve taken the plunge have done so tentatively with much fretting, confusion, and constant back-and-forth with their friends - the meaning of one simple date is ridiculously overblown due to the racial difference. Find an Interracial Friend Today!
