[.ca] The Interracial Dating Book for Black Women Who Want to ... (ISBN 1581128002)

Way Out of Line!:
This book makes several problematic arguments that incorporate traditional racist perceptions of black women. On the other hand, white men are portrayed as the party open for an interracial relationship meanwhile it is the white men who need to get rid of they sick/ignorant/racist/sexist images of black women. Surprisingly, this book orders black women to make themselves more approachable to interracial dating. In addition to making racist arguments, it breaks the first rule in a genuine relationship that couples are supposed to like each other for who they really are. The comparisons made between black men and white men are disgustingly racist and intentional. You do not need to make black men seem all of that to make white men appealing. There is good white men and good black men and an intelligent black woman (educated or not) is capable of making that distinction between race and personality. I think this book was written by someone who is insecure of his own capability as a white man and wants to change the direction of the winds of positive integration/change. Lets not forget that all of the traditional racist images of black women in main stream America were initiated by the uninformed white men and lets not let the same party lead us to a similar direction again. I am an educated black woman who has been with a white man and did not have to change single part of me to do that. Because this time black women have the authoritarian position.

interesting book:
As a white man,I was delighted to find that from reading this book and reviews on it that there are many black women that are interested in white men.This is good news for me because i`ve always found black women attractive and wanted to date them.Personally,I see nothing wrong with dating or marrying outside ones own race.I see beauty in women of all races,so why should I limit myself to only white women just because I`m white? I know some people that see whites as the enemy may resent interracial dating or consider it blasphemy,but I just dont see it that way.

Low rating because....:
I am a woman who chats frequently in a chatroom on Yahoo! for black women and white men. About once a month, someone comes into this room, claiming to be the author of this book. He comes into the chatroom, is very disrespectful of the people in it, and pushing his book. If this person is indeed the person who wrote the book, I would never read anything he's written. If not, the author of this book should be very upset that he's being represented in such a negative and derrogatory manner.

Good reading:
I'm a black woman and I have dated white and hispanic men my whole life. I found the book to be very interesting, ofcourse I don't need a special book in order to get a white man, but as I said it's interesting reading. I think the author did not use his real name when writing this book and it makes me wonder why.

Excellent...He nails it.. Black Sultan comments are dead on:
Excellent points...soooo true. Probably written by a black woman. Good for you.
