I do. I am a African American female and I would date a man from another race. There isn't that much difference to me. i worked in the entertainment business for many years and came across many different races and nationalities. Most men appreciate a beautiful woman no matter what the race. Alot of people don't date outside their race only because they are afraid of what people might say. i could care less what others think. If I meet someone who is interesting and attractive to me I am going to go for it. Post your views.

I was just in a debate over some people from my boyfriends work. Two of them made stupid comments "I don't do dark meat". They got mad at how offended my boyfriend and I were by that comment. That is racist and rude! They try to spin it around on me and ask if I would. My response, I don't see color. I've never dated a black man, but I'm not opposed to it. They try to catch me on that. I say I won't date a guy who acts like "Little John" or the "Yin Yang Twins" but then again I won't date a white guy who acts like that either. It's not about race. If someone shares my values, interests, goals etc then I don't care what race they are. I've dated a Korean, Thai, Lebanese, and Mexican. And I have no regrets. And if Mos Def would look at me twice I'd be all over him.

I'm sorry but you can't have Mos Def. He is my future husband. I wouldn't date a man that acted like Lil Jon or the Ying Yang Twins either. But I also would not date Carrottop or Jack Black. If I am attracted to them, I will date them. I happen to think that Russell Crowe and Brad Pritt are fine as hell.

Lol. Yeah, I forgot about carrot top. ick. Is he even human? Jack Black is icky. And eminem... Bubba Sparks... K-Fed. I could list on and on. I'd rather date William Hung than them... at least he does well in school... even if his singing is awful!

Yes I date outside my race. I am a white american and I have dated blacks and mexicans. I also have a daughter by a black man. To me its only a color things. They are no different to me. If I wasnt in a relationship and someone of another race came along I wouldnt hesitate to date them if I was interested.

I agree. Color should not matter. Ignorance is blind and love is color blind.

I was just in Mexico and our tour guide at the Mayan ruins had the most beautiful color skin I've ever seen. His father was Mayan and his mother from Barcelona.

That's right girlfriend. You see african american men dating outside the race all the time but when we do it they look down on us.

I think it's perfectly fine! What's most important is the person's character, not the race. :)

We both know that's whats important. People just have a hard time getting past the outside then they end up missing whats on the inside.
