Though it sucks that we "sistas"...I agree. Though it sucks that we "sistas" automatically tick off a list of things that it could be, other than the initial thought of the emotion of .... love. That internal "cringe" that may happen concerning black-man-white-women couples happens (for me personally) because I'm hoping that none of the reasonings you listed are true and its just common interest and attraction that brought said couple together. I have personal stories of woe that can attribute to the negative stereotypes, but I can't carry that baggage around, so I LETITGO! Because of history, social and psychological reasoning, we jump to conclusions; negative conclusions! Personally, as an equal opportunity dater (simply put, I like men) we sisters really would benefit much more if we just LETITGO! Easier said than done, I know. <br /><br />On the flip side: I am dating a white man. Proximity, common interest and attraction brought us together. Weirdly, other people seem to have issue with our different ethnicities than we do, which is about the only time that we put any thought into it.Stephany E.
