I wish I could tell them I don't care because at the end were all humans. Like at my past job a couple came in without making no sound or saying hi but I noticed the lady took a fast look at me I guess to see if I was watching there every move but at that job I was a cashier and I made ice cream for guests and the guy asked for two banana splits.

I have to say am glad am outgoing now because back then they would have taken it the wrong way but I started to talk to them and ask them questions about the trip they had ( I did with all my guests) and they warmed up and we all joked I even gave them extra ice cream (I did with anyone who would talk to me..I like to talk it seems)

The lady seemed almost shocked when I first started talking to them this happen with another couple and it was the same thing but black women and white men couples seem to don't care what I think in the first place...lol

But why do white women and black men couples have fear like that?

they are still fighting an uphill battle for acceptance, there are still a lot of people that don't accept mixed relationships

I am a white woman dating a black man. I personally do not get uncomfortable but a few of my friends have. Where I am from on Long Island there a many more white women then black woman and the black woman get the attitude that we "are stealing there men". You will often get the evil eye or hear comments being made. Which might cause some to get uncomfortable around others.

Lol.. definite I even have observed an important improve interior the style of white adult males with black women folk, and that i think of it quite is super. i grew to become into married to a black guy and it grew to become into extraordinarily problem-loose to work out a black guy date a woman outdoors of his race, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it grew to become into extraordinarily uncommon to work out it any opposite direction around. yet even down right here in Southeast Alabama, issues are commencing as much as replace for the greater advantageous.

You might not like what i am going to say here but it will be the truth. It's guilt. Down inside they know that most people look down on a white woman that is with a black man. They know down inside that they will not be largely accepted in the white neighbor hood or the black. There here nor there. They feel like outcast. To a large degree they are. There are some people out there that are willing to accept it. The majority doesn't.

I know what you mean my auntie is married to a black man and at first my family were not to happy to get to know him but know all is fine.I guess it because they don't know so they think it is bad.

You know in the society we are living in right now who cares.It is their lives and we are not here to judge. I mean you do notice but ....love is blind and if they are happy together.let them be. life is too darn short as it is.
