    I clarified at post # 18 my dating preferences. I have never dated a Black female, I find them very unattractive. My personal preferences don't come into the data I post, I just post objective (non-biased) research, the only reason some reject it is because they are politically correct.
    No comeback then to my challenging your youtube clip with the actual census, regarding your claim that 70% of black women in the USA are single?

    Because that little "fact" of yours was not quite correct!

    I post data. Instead all you have done is actually troll this thread posting ad hominems against me. If you don't have anything productive to add - just leave.
    You post data like purporting that no "true negroid" in Nigeria can use a computer?

    I've kissed an asian guy once, but other than that, no, I've never dated outside of my race.

    I've been with the same guy since I was 17 (I'm 28 now), so you might say I haven't exactly had opportunity!

    As for whether I find guys from other races attractive, honestly I can't say I have, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility of it.

    Your so called 'data' is a joke.

    - Biased sources

    - You only focus on the parts of a study that support your racist beliefs and ignore the rest.

    - There are many different studies that have been conducted on the topics you love going on about, but the only true credible ones to you are those that hold whites in some sort of superior light. While all the rest is "politically correct nonsense".

    Therefore I find it incredibly hard to take you seriously hence my use of ad hominem.

    Well, commercials tend to feature white dolls, and children tend to be influenced by commercials. That is why there are so many adverts aimed at children. So could it not be that the children go for the kind of dolls they have seen advertised?

    Also, lots of white women straighten their hair. Or when their hair is straight, they curl it. They dye it all sorts of different colours, they use hair extensions, they experiment with it just as much. I have had my hair in all sorts of colours, shapes and styles, and I hardly hate who I am! Also, many white women like to get a tan, even resorting to those horrible fake tans to achieve some sort of effect.

    A not insignificant amount of white women alter their face and body through cosmetic surgery and other methods, like Botox. There is a lot of insecurity about looks amongst women in general. Nose jobs, boob jobs, even designer vaginas! And then there's the make-up, shaving, waxing, fake lashes, fake nails...

    As to the 70 percent figure - according to the 2009 census, 70.5 percent of black women between the ages of 25-29 had never been married. That doesn't mean that they were single. They could have had boyfriends/been engaged. When you look at the same census at age 55 and over, the percentage was a lot lower - 13 percent. This is slightly higher than the other groups in the census - 5 percent for white women, 8.9 for hispanic women, but it hasn't been the case in every census. In 1986 only 3.5 percent of black women over the age of 55 had never been married, whilst the percentage of white women was 4.9. And in 1996 the percentage of black women who had never been married was 6.6, whilst the percentage of hispanic women was 7.2.

    Source - http://www.census.gov/prod/2011pubs/p70-125.pdf

    I think the actual census is a bit more reliable than a youtube video, even if it was Oprah .
    I knew I should've looked through that source properly. I was wondering...
    Between the ages of 25-29??? I knew there was something utterly ridiculous about the quote
    He really is just picking and choosing, isn't he?

    lol!

    http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertai...eave-disaster/



    See how Blacks obsessed to look white, will rip out their hair in the process.:rolleyes:
    ..."Stars including Paris Hilton, Victoria Beckham, Britney Spears and Alexandra Burke are all reported to have suffered traction alopecia as a result of hair extensions"
    Three of the four aforementioned celebrities are White. Why are they using hair extensions? Who are they trying to look like?
    Maybe they're trying to have the thick hair of mongoloids. Another ridiculous conclusion for you...

    He really, really is. All that the data shows is that a larger percentage of black women in the US seems to get married once they get past their twenties. Nothing wrong with that. It can be for all sort of reasons. A focus on education and career, for example.

    But then, it looks like he's been Googling for anything and everything to back up his views, without actually doing some research on whether or not the information he's found is valid. It only took me a couple of minutes to find where that 70 percent idea came from, and to find the census...

    Definitely. He's been posting the same "apparently non-biased and non-refutable data" everywhere on this forum, I just don't have the good patience to look thoroughly anymore. His preoccupation with it is ridiculous.

    No, I would not. Why would I anyway...it's not really natural. I wouldn't date outside my sex so why my culture or race. . plus interracial divorce stats are really bad too. I just don't feel comfortable having kids who aren't of my race either wouldn't that be strange for most people? I also wouldn't date old people, women with kids, Liberals or atheist women.

    I don't understand how it's "Not natural". You do realise that, assuming you're White British, your ancestors came from many different cultures. Your most likely part Irish, German, French, scottish, Italian, maybe even Chinese or Egyptian. How is it against the laws of nature to have children with someone that has a different melanin pigmentation too you? If you're pale, would you refuse to date a naturally tanned person because it would be "weird" too have olive-skinned kids. Or if you have green eyes, would you refuse to date someone with brown eyes because it would be "weird" to have kids with a different eye colour to you? Would you do the same with hair colour?

    Hair colour and race are completely different things. Can't even be compared. I see non white women the same aas I do men.. No attraction whatsoever. I wouldn't mind having kids with olive skin either... I couldn't kiss somebody of another race probably.. It would feel weird.

    Therea no attraction there at all. I'll be better off with somebody of my personal background.

    5. Black females are the least preferred by males of all races, including Black males themselves:

    http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...tcabal/2-9.jpg

    This has led to the situation where the majority of Black females in America (70%+) are single: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBBM040Bsr0

    6. Black females prefer Black men, but are rejected by Black men who prefer White women. 97% of White females however reject Black Men, which has also led to the situation where Black males are statistically far higher than White males to be single.
    One study when black women were kept from mainstream media positions and black people were forced to feel shame for being members of their own race. If white women reject black men and black men reject black women who are black men getting with?I actually want to know how this (numerically) makes any sense.

    Yes, a high percentage blacks living in Western cultures do straighten their hair.
    And a high percentage of South East Asians living in Korea have eyelid surgery
    And a high percentage of Jewish people have nose jobs
    And a high percentage of White women tan their skin,
    And a high percentage of White women get nose jobs (So who are these women trying to look like?)
    And a high percentage of white women undergo buttock and breast augmentation procedures. Expensive, invasive and painful procedures

    These are also facts.
    So Latino women are the master race?

    No. Not racist either, I just have preferences. But if I said which race I find least attractive, in general (Because we all know all women are different) I'd probably have the race card pulled at me.

    I would rather date my own race. Which is the black race. We need to keep it pure.

    It's fine to have preferences - its when people say that their preference is the objective truth that it becomes a problem

    Because it would make life easier. Especially if they were Nigerian, they would understand your culture, you would get on well with their family.
