It's not "hiding" when you've got the price schedule printed on the outside.

Two different dynamics, two different discussions entirely.

Could you please explain that a little for this ignorant white guy?

One represents a blatant racial bias the other could be the result of circumstance/preference/etc...

Let's assume this is true... hypothetically. How does the other side work? Does this also raise the white guys status? Lower it? Doesn't change it? There's got to be some kind of reaction to this action. What's in it for the white guy?

Yes, it does. Ever heard white people talk about white girls who exclusively chase black guys? What's the connotation? Trash.

Yup. There's quite a big difference between "No blacks, Azns or Mexicans" and "I love all men but not gonna lie, I melt for redheads."

I don't think every single person with attraction preferences is a willful racist, not at all. But I do think widespread, consistent patterns of attraction and non-attraction are created by a prejudiced society and a prejudiced history, and unequal depiction in the creation of the beauty standard.

I think the great majority of the people who've posted here agree with you that someone behaving as the OP did (with no knowledge of the two people involved, accusing their relationship of being blatant racial status-grabbing) is not reasonable or justifiable.

I will never post pecker pics or probably even nip pics here. My self-esteem is wayyy too low for that. :O

"Mr. [STRIKE]McGee[/STRIKE] Noah, don't make [STRIKE]me[/STRIKE] LilBit angry. You wouldn't like [STRIKE]me[/STRIKE] him when [STRIKE]I'm[/STRIKE] he's angry."

If white men were generally less assholish an borderline racist in the way they express those attractions, preferences, I think Asian and black men (the two groups most often singled out for clear, loud, and verbal rejection) would be much less inclined to think "No blacks, no Asians. I'm not racist" was just douchebaggery and not an obviously racist statement from a baby Nazi.

You guys have to extend the amount of time we have to edit things. My fingers work way faster than my mind. Or something like that.

The white gay image is definitely one many gays of colour seem to want. I think it sends the wrong message when these high profile black gays date ONLY whites.Derrick Gordon already has an ugly old white sugar daddy. I think since so few black gay public figures are out it would be NICE to see some of them with black partners.

You are assuming that they ONLY date white men. Where is there history at that you can make an statement like that? You do not know these people personally, so since they are relatively new how do you know they ONLY date white men?

You ever hear about making assumptions and how it makes an ass of the person doing it?

I am going to regret this, but why are you assuming they -only- date whites?

I am also curious, how he got to this point.

Simple answer - none of your fucking business.

Quoted for TRUTH.

Have you ever considered writing each of them and letting them know they are conducting their lives in a manner that you don't approve of?.... and maybe suggest to them who they "should" fall in love with?

Since it has worked so well for you, that is.

I am just pointing out the obvious I see these black gay public figures out and proud yet they have white lovers. You don't see the reverse. You would be surprised there is indeed an attitude of superiority by SOME black gays who are out of the closet. These black gays believe if they are high profile and get a white lover they have achieved acceptance which is sad to see. There is no balance it would be NICE to actually see a black gay couple who are public figures. It would send a strong message to society. But black gay public figures dating white is the status quo that sends the wrong message of conforming.

The only thing obvious is that at this point in time these people are in love with a white person.

I recently posted in the Dark twisted thread about posts that were negative toward Derek Gordon and his BF from some people that belong to the "It is never good enough" crowd.

I mentioned that maybe they should Google Loving V, Virginia and that there was a time when people had to fight for the right to love someone of a different race. We are still fighting for our relationship's to be considered valid and held in the same regards as those who are str8. People continuing to build walls and boundaries of who should or should not be dating in the gay community is not only foolish it's just plain dumb.

The reason why I date white men and others of any race is because I like who they are and have not met a race I would not date. I wouldn't date anyone from the "It is never good enough" crowd. Those people reek of self pity and I leave them to their party and move on because I am not looking to fix people, I am not Oprah. I like men, so be a man. People in the other thread even went as far as to call Derek and people like him as having "Slave Mentality" because he is dating a white man. People looking from the outside seem to believe they know what clicked for them to make them want to be together. As mentioned by the OP it must be that the white guy is Derek's Shugah Daddy. Is this man some type of millionaire or something? What fancy shiny things has he bought Derek to make him his Shugah Daddy? There couldn't possibly be any type of real attraction there could it? In making that comment you sell Derek short and also his man. What they have you may never understand and that is YOUR problem OP. Not their's. They seem happy, good for them.

All these MOC (Which I have been told is racist in the other thread,shows what level of intelligence I am dealing with over there)out there boo hooing about these guys only involved with white men obviously have a MOC they are in a relationship with, so why worry about someone else's especially those you don't know. instead of trying to further divide our community, how about focusing on how alike we are and not how unalike we are.

Thank you!

The trolls in this thread seem to be under the opinion that there's a drought of minority men but the whole point is that anyway can date whoever they want as long as it's legal and consensual. Try and look at a guys personality before you get stuck on race!

There isn't harm in interracial dating, that's not the... nevermind.
