Malthumb took the words right out of my mouth.

Currently I am surrounded by white girls. For the first time in my life, I see myself being really attracted to them, and this was due to the level of exposure I have had to them. Heck, I had a serious crush on an Indian girl a few weeks back, and this is something I have never experienced before. However, due to the level of exposure I have had to them recently, I now see them as being quite attractive.

The car, job, house wife/husband are not the reward, God is.

6stringapprentice,

The info you quoted.....

Quote
Black men drop black women as soon as they reach a certain level of success, don’t they? While plenty of rap stars, athletes and musicians may choose to date or marry interracially when they achieve fame, the same is not true for the bulk of successful black men. By analyzing census data Toldson and Marks found that 83 percent of married black men who earned at least $100,000 annually got hitched to black women. The same is the case for educated black men of all incomes. Eighty-five percent of black male college graduates married black women. Generally, 88 percent of married black men (no matter their income or educational background) have black wives. This means that interracial marriage should not be held responsible for the singleness of black women.

.....would be more complete if they also posted the % of rap stars, athletes, musicians who marry interracially.  I mean, if they came up with a number of like.......82% married within their race, they would still be able to say "more likely to marry outside" but would it be statistically relevant?

Athletes aside.......when black men (and black women) become more successful, they travel in wider circles and are more likely to run into people of different ethnicities that they may find attractive.

I agree.  Ive done some traveling, and I'll say my wife just HAPPENS to be black (well, with some Cherokee too lol).  Had I been raised in Europe, bruh...

Sometimes the answer to a question is the simple fact of the obvious truth. In this case, it would be; because they can.  That fact is clearer when you know that many more mixed marriages are occurring between blacks and whites of all social strata since laws, both secret (bad things will happen to you, financial and physical)  and on the books, have been relaxed.  However, you don't need a statistical analysis to know that as a rule, even though they can, they don't.(just more than before) Among your group how many mixed couples are there?  Very Few?

It should not be overlooked how much allure is lost when something becomes easily within reach and ordinary to see.  The everything for love, bucking the system and the whole world, something so out of the ordinary as to elevate you more than the norm, is gone.

Eliminating all that, why would black men marry white women?  Several reasons come to mind.

1.  They think that they are prettier, so they sought them out.
2.  They think that they are more feminine(easier to get along with)so they sought them out.
3.  They just happened to fall in love with them. or the white woman sought the man out.
4.  They think that they have more money and are more willing to spend it on their significant other. 
5.  They think their children will be prettier.
6.  They perceive them to be smart and to have an inside track in the business world.
7.  A combination of several of the above.

Personally, I just prefer black women.  Obviously, most black men do.

One thing I've learned over the last few years.  Black people have the perception that white folks are somehow more together and on a higher level when it comes to being organized and on point with their business.  It's just not true.  There are as many ghetto, trifling white folks as there are in any other race.  We just don't get to see their flaws pointed out as much on the world stage. 

I went to my cousin's wedding last week (interracial mormon wedding), and the preacher stumbled through the vows like he had no clue.  The last time I saw that, I was embarrassed because 'the black unlearned preacher hadn't taken the time to make sure he knew how to conduct the ceremony efficiently'.  But here I sat last weekend looking at the exact same picture unfold, except this time the preacher was white.  You really have to take people as they come, because no race has cornered the market on intelligence, beauty, or stupidity.

Tell that to her father.  I'm sure that conversation would end well.

Unless you watch a lot of COPS episodes like I do. Then you get to see Bubba and Emma Sue at the trailer park, wailin' away on each other, usually after consuming mass quantities...and Bubba is usually dressed in a white, stained 'wife beater' tank-top and smoking a cigarette.
Now I'm stereotyping and that's not right...

I have been lead to believe they keep chapel ceremonies with their part time clergy, the ward president, very simple,  to encourage their members to seek a Temple Marriage, which a non Mormon would not be able to attend.
Yeah, my cousin opted not to do that, because it would exclude half her family including her grandfather.  Simple would've been okay, but he simply did not know what he was doing.  He announced that it was time to "salute the bride" and hadn't done the rings yet.  Then he was like, "Oh, the rings!" and just simply had them put them on and "salute" again, lol.
