I am a black women and I have no idea why so many black men date white women nor do I care. I've always been open to interracial dating. I've been seeing this out in the open all my life and never really paid much attention to it or gave it a second thought. I think it's a personal preference most of the time, although there may be some black folks that may see dating a white person as a prize or trophy or major accomplishment or perhaps a kind of forbidden fruit. People like who they like. A lot of black women are dating white men now. I think everybody's reasoning for dating outside their race is unique and they have their own reasons or maybe it just happened in the natural scheme of things. It may be simply that they found a person they connected with or fell in love with. I would hope that by now people have transcended the so-called "jungle-fever" syndrome of the past and slavery. There are some interesting books on the topic of blacks dating whites that present various sides of it from different perspectives.
