Do you think most blacks in interracial relationships usually try to disown black...

...culture? I find that whenever minorities go to whites they succumb to white culture and try to disown their own culture

But when blacks go to any race besides black, they tend to succumb to whatever culture that isn't black

Is this because society has brainwashed them so badly that they want to run away from the truth, so they try to disown themselves, therefore disliking themselves

with all due respect you are a racist

Why are you assuming that i'm saying black culture is hip hop culture?? maybe that is what YOU think
 
I don't think that's necessarily so. You have to define black culture first. My culture may not be your culture even though we are both black. For me, my culture isn't so much about the color of my skin, it's about other things like the area I was raised in. My boyfriend is Japanese American, and within reason, we have similar cultures. We were both raised in the south, we are both conservative, we share the same religion, we both have ex-military fathers, mothers who came from a foreign country, we listen to the same music, like the same movies, and we both love traditional "southern" food.

We borrow a bit from each other's backgrounds in that I've become a little more interested in certain Japanese things, and he now loves Caribbean food. Sharing culture isn't "succumbing." And, I can at least speak for myself and my boyfriend and say that even though we're of different races we have more in common than not.
 
I believe there is a percentage that does. I had a art show a few years ago in Phoenix and I was sharing this studio with two other artist who were White. I had my own room in the studio and I was greeting people as they entered so they would know who to speak to if they had a question.

There was three different interracial couples that totally avoided my section once we made eye contact. All three couples were all White guys dating Black women. At first thought it was just a coincidence but when happen three times I wondering what was going on? One of the couples from what it appeared accidentally walked into my section and when they were aware they were in my section they started speed walking. They avoided making any eye contact and didn't bother to look at my art either. I do believe my race and gender had something to do with their behavior.

I thought it was crazy that they totally avoided my section. Maybe the guys were scarred because I'm 6'4 and Black. They didn't bother to even look at my art. I understand that they may get a lot of dirty looks and comments from Blacks but we are not all like that. These three couples I came in short contact with totally missed out on the wonderful art I had on display but they had plenty of time to appreciate the art from the White artist. How often would they get a chance to see another Black artist in Phoenix AZ, slim to none.
 
I won't say that but I've noticed some things. A lot of the black men who date outside their race make themselves at the beck and whim of white women. A lot of the black women who go outside have a seething hatred of black men.
 
I don't think most but a few try to disown black culture. If they have kids then that my be a different story though.
 
tell me what's the difference between black culture and white culture. and aer you saying that if a black person likes one thing that is considered non-black that they're trying to disown themselves?
 
because black men are not being men, all due respect to black men. and black women are not being women all due respect to black women. hip hop culture is not your culture either, black people have alot of culture but its not hip hop culture. that so called culture is not doing your race and anyone else any justice all due respect to rap and R&B. theres absolutely nothing wrong with black people, you guys just have been destroyed on the psychological level, from everything the world throws at you. i think that black people need to unite, black people dont have love for self as they should. you all are beautiful people, but there is something wrong, with how you all are being. not how you are by nature. people say black women have attitudes, ok but something has made her that way, its not something natural. i would have and attitude too, if was never seen as beautiful and even by your own men. i would be pissed too if black men were not being a man to my kids. and black women have their issues too.

edit: dont take what im saying wrongly, im talking in your favor and all races have their share of problems, but we are talking about black people, soooo im gonna tell you something about black people.

i dont like when you call me racist because im always critcized for dissing my own race in favor of blacks. you really just dont understand what im saying thats all otherwise you would name call. im telling you something to make understand. theres nothing racist about what i said.


edit, also i didn't say hip hop culture is black culture. i said you have many cultures and hip culture isnt really 1 of them, no offense but did you read what i said? your putting words in my mouth and i haven't been disrespectful to u one bit, y did u have to call me racist?

edit: alot of black men are brainwashed to the white woman blonde image, it not that black women are not beautiful, it because their brainwashed its their problem that they have, even black women are when they should love the way they look. and of course im not saying all


EDIT: and b4 you call me racist, my GF is black because i can appreciate the broad nose the big lips and the dark skin ok, if you wanna talk about this email me so we can get 1 thing straight ok. so once again your misunderstanding the meaning of my message. if you read it right you would see that im just telling the truth and talking in your favor.

I actually agree with Tyrel. Being in a relationship with another person of a different race doesn't mean you're trying to disown you're own race or you're forgetting who you are O.o Just because they happen to love someone of a different group it means they're ashamed of their race? that's non sense..and what is black culture?
 
Yes!! You're so right.

I think the reason is because they hate themselves so much that they hate everyone who even looks like them. They have to disassociate them self with everything that will remind them of that too.
 
I think you are right but only in some cases. Some of them really don't like being black, maybe because they have suffer of racism before, and want to dilute their black genes with the first white woman. It's normal because, all around them, black people that we see on tv or in movies don't totally assume their black culture. For example, they straighten their hair, they put blush on their cheeks. but it's not that they deny their origins, it's just that there's no BLACK fashion for the moment :(

But it's not always like that. We shouldn't generalize. Some are really in love with white woman.

So, to answer your question, I don't think MOST black interracial relationships usually try to disown black culture. But it happens. We have to keep that in mind.
 
This is entirely untrue. You can be in an interracial lrelationshipp an still retain your racial/cultural/ethnic identity without succumbing to your partners.
