*A Black Los Angeles business woman recently launched a dating website (SwirlSociety.com) which seeks to pair Black women with white men.
According to 32-year-old Shon Anthony, she has been “amazed” at the number of emails she has received from people expressing interest in her services.
Meanwhile, similar dating services are springing up across the internet. Some cater to Black men seeking to date white or Asian American women.
But are such services a good thing. Does the idea of African Americans “chasing” after whites for dates or marriage present a degrading picture of self-hating Blacks trying to escape from their race?
Interracial marriage has been legal in the United States since the 1967 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Loving v. Virginia. Such relationships are on the rise but they still represent an extreme minority. For example, according to the latest data from the Census Bureau, 3.7 percent of Black women have a non-Black spouse. But the number of Black men with a non-Black spouse stands more than double that at 8.4 percent. Figures on who is dating whom are much more difficult to come by.
Nevertheless, the highly respected Pew Center released research late last year showing that in 2008, 9 percent of whites, 16 percent of Blacks, 26 percent of Hispanics and 31 percent of Asians are married someone of a different race or ethnicity. The most common interracial pairings were white-Hispanic (41%), white-Asian (15%), and white-Black (11%). In other words, whites and Blacks were the least likely to marry and we can assume the least likely to date.
Thus, is encouraging Blacks and whites to date (and possibly marry) a good thing in the so-called post-racial society? Will it improve race relations in America or is it just Blacks degrading themselves by rejecting their own?

LOL … OMG, I have no comment here. I will wait to hear what Melody has to say. LMAO.
LOL at Grace.
OK. Here comes Mel:
buffering, buffering, buffering, buffering.
Wait for it!
buffering, buffering, buffering, buffering!
While waiting for Mel I facebooked this article over to Hal’s website. Maybe she can pick up some extra change with a “Product Endorsement” for the dunces who started that site. I’m sure it would be mutually appreciated by all parties.
BTW: Taylor Media Services, et-al.
You all should be ashamed of yourselves.
Peace.
I don’t have a problem with it personally. Let them “weed out” all the low self esteem, no sense of self, warped thinking negro’s and take them out of the dating circulation. Anyone who desires to date/marry out of their own race SOLELY out of dislike of their own, dislikes themselves, thus couldn’t love and treat me the way I expect to be treated anyway. PLEASE take them off our hands and deal with the dysfunction. All the Bullshinigans reasons (too much attitude, too much drama, too needy, don’t support me boooo hoooo hooooo) is true, but not exclusive to black woman, and it is really an excuse to hide behide the real reason. To date black, is to date someone like myself, and I don’t much like myself (for whatevr EF’D up childhood reason) so I don’t like black. So again, this is doing us a HUGE favor. One less Negro to have to put a restraining order on!
you sound like a damn fool. dating outside one’s race has less to do with self esteem than it does with options. sometimes a person has to play the numbers. i want a 30 yo, attractive, educated, employed, in-shape, non-smoker with no kids. should i compromise my chance to be happy out of some sense of racial loyalty? absolutely not. if a black, white, indian, thai,etc female meets my standards and has an interest in me, i’d be a fool not to take it. you might as well be mad a guys that don’t wanna date fat chicks
It’s not an “option” it is being a race traitor. The ANC knew how to deal with these race traitors and those who are in sympathy with these running dogs.
Dating outside the race “SOLELY” because of dislike of your own for the reasons that I have listed IS about esteem issues. When black men say that they don’t like dating black woman because of those various lame reasons, it is really about their own lack of esteem for themselves, cause guess what… They have MOMMA’s who are those very women. So to have disdain for black woman, is to have disdain for your own, thus yourself!! Hey, feel free to do you, and whomever you want….. I am addressing the ignorant motivation.
justsaying, sure it’s doing our community a huge disfavor. Just look at the products of these relationships showing up on this board. ALL their venom is directed towards Blacks and they outdo whites as far as racist tendencies go. Just think…we’re playing a major hand in spawning the likes of ebliverator, versatile, kissofdanger, khanman etc and damage will be cataclysmic!
Melody– take the bone out of your nose and az and take a hike
Melody- you’re out of tune and out of touch. go play somewhere
@Melody don’t go trying to analyze others when you clearly have your own issues. Take a glance in the mirror and see who and what you really are and work from there. You are another example of the fat black sloppy nappy headed women with a bad attitude that Black men simply do not want!
Funny. I find all the black women/men bashing ‘passe’ but we still do it in the name ‘airing out our issues’. Say anything remotely ‘critical’ of another race of people and all hell breaks loose. I find it all very interesting…..
versatile and ebliverator, that’s just it…I make it my business to stay in touch and to warn my people about no good interlopers such as yourself. The irony of spawning a population whose main goal is to run interference for non-Blacks is quite bothersome. I have nothing for you and won’t pretend I do!
He or she who sleeps with my enemy is also my enemy, for they will raise up a breed that seeks to destroy me. Race traitors, Toms and Tomisinas must be dealt with as the ANC did. There is a price to be paid for acts of treason. How can you lay down with a Tubob and come up with any self respect? How can one expect real Black Americans to accept your act of treason. There must be a reckoning.
Thank you, chosinfew. All folks have to do is study latin America and what the mixed raced turned around and did to the indigenous population there to figure out what they’ll do to us.
or look at black society now and see what homogeneity is already doing. my loyalties to black people don’t run that deep. i’m gonna do what makes my family and myself happy and if i have to marry a purple chick to do it, then so be it. you keep living in your own little isolated world. i’ll be here on Earth living it up with the rest of mankind
@Melody Sad lonely and bitter aren’t you? And no a Black man still doesn’t want you no matter how you try and spin it.

Can eurweb do something about this dang spammer? Just messin up the flow of conversation. Sheeesh!
Whew, this topic is so worn out. A mindset is a personal choice, and there are so many sisters set in their ways of thinking when this topic is on the table, no matter how erroneous, it would actually take something life-altering to awaken them. All I will say is this: If you are single and looking for love, but only from “your own kind” and that in itself is working for you, more power to you. Have fun with this ideal on Valentines Day! But if you are someone willing to take an honest look at yourself in the mirror of your soul and ask “What is truly important to me: Being happy with someone that respects and honors me simply for being me; someone who laughs with me, cries with me, has my back whenever I need him to? Someone who appreciates me? Someone with the character and integrity that I always dreamed of, and finally, someone with a world-vision that equals my own?” Then you, my friend, have subscribed to moving past the petty, realizing your self-worth, grabbing hold of your courage, and making the determination to be happy on your own terms. Being Black is much more than what you wear, who you choose to be with, and whether your hair is straight or not. Stop being so concerned with what your “friends” will say. If you are dating someone outside of your race — for that reason alone — its the wrong reason; and any website that advertises something like this “Come find a white man…asian man…etc.” has the wrong idea. When I met my Mr. Wonderful more than a year ago (the longest relationship I have ever had, and the first White man I had ever dated,and vice-versa, I made sure to let him know, “You are dating ME, NOT my race…and vice-versa.” –Sign me, someone who knows what she’s talkin’ about.
The black women on this board are disgusting know it alls. You are so stupid you don’t even realize you represent all that Black men detest in a black woman. Reading all of your nasty and vile postings on this site support just why Black men don’t want you and venture outside of the race.
I pray you find a good non-Black woman just like this one. The brotha married this uneducated single mother and within two months she was swiping the keys to his Mercedes to go off and spend the night with a man from her own community. Everybody counts on you to be childlike ‘suckers’ so you get what you deserve…and that’s no sympathy from me. The judge sentenced her to 21 years.

A jury took less than four hours to find Forbes, 29, of Merrick, guilty of Manslaughter in the First Degree. Forbes was arrested last November after the lifeless body of her husband, Michael Forbes, was found in the couple’s Merrick home. Police officers recovered an extension cord at the scene and Kelly Forbes later told detectives that she used the cord to strangle her husband in self-defense.
This is why NO ONE cares when these women deliberately infect you with AIDS or swindle you out of your lottery windfalls, give it to white men then have you killed…oh the list goes on and on. Who shot Steve McNair?

You’re so fukkin’ gullible…there are young Black men sitting behind bars today for following orders from white women to kills their husbands basically for insurance payouts and the promise of white ass. Good for ya!
Why was this idiot so trusting and childlike to allow this to happen?
