Does race factor into who you'd date?

I've noticed that too and I do agree that it is quite disheartening (so much so that at one time I contemplated leaving this forum and other boards). I think a lot of it just comes from the stigma or image that is given to black women. I just keep reminding myself that I am attractive. I know someone will value and appreciate both my inner and outer beauty.

To some respects I don't think we are consciously stigmatized or singled out to be the at the bottom of the barrel by everyone per se. However, there are *some* people who deliberately bash blacks and other races. A lot of it is just the society we live in...

Just live by the old the saying "To each their own", and don't dwell on it too much. Everyone has their own preference and a right to it. I know that even if one guy passes me by, I am someone else's treasure and will be thought of as such

I think that many African American women ARE attractive (and I'm not just talking about Beyonce or Rihanna!!) It may be the case that some of them are undervalued, in which case open-minded guys benefit!

Well, this thread is great, it's nice to see so many people outminded and can see beyond color. But I can't help but find it disheartening how so many males have expressed their lack of attraction to Black women--mainly because I happen to be one, and one that is single. I read this a lot on the internet, and it's always black women who are targeted as being the least attractive. It doesn't really put me in the most optimistic mood in terms of dating. Just being honest
