Chris Rock: Black And White Dating
I was watching Chris Rock's latest stand up comedy and couldn't help but roll my eyes at his views on
interracial dating - black and white dating to be precise. And after hearing what he had to say, I
realized for as long as black and white dating exists, black women and white men will always be at
each other's necks especially when a white man dates a black woman and when a black man dates a
white woman.




Back to Chris Rock: In his view, all black men do when they date white women is exercising an
option. And black women get upset by this. He says the real reason black women get angry is
because they are not attracted to white men hence cant exercise their option. They will sleep with
'pretty white boys' when in real sense, they aren't attracted to white men in general.




The blame games, the justifications and the prejudiced remarks never end when black and white
dating is on the table. It's like a constant tug-of-war between black men and black women. And over
what...the other groups' dating preferences? When black women opt for interracial dating, black men
say they do it out of desperation. And Chris Rock's explanation suggests so. It's like black and white
dating is a last resort for the black woman.




People date interracially as a matter of choice or preference. And for those who happened to stumble
onto interracial dating, I believe it's because they stumbled upon a gem... Someone worth taking the
risk of being stared at and possibly being rejected by family over.




Maybe Chris Rock is right. Maybe black women need to broaden they options and do more of black
and white dating or date interracially in general. But no one should mistake this for desperation
because its not. Everyone deserves to be loved and when you meet the one who sweeps you off your
feet, instead of worrying about what the men or women of your race will think of it, act on your love
impulse.




This getting worked up over black and white dating isn't necessary coz while giving yourself peptic
ulcers trying to come up with the most prejudicial reasoning for interracial dating, someone else's
peptic ulcers that were caused by years of loneliness are getting healed by interracial love which is as
real as any other.
