When love is a black-and-white issue

Some won't like it, but mixed-race relationships are a fact of life, says
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown


Source: Independent - London

THE STORY of race relations in Britain is always told as an encounter between whites and blacks. The children of the empire came with joy and hope, only to be rejected by these island people who remain endemically racist. False, or at least dangerously simplistic. It was mostly white men who reacted with anger and revulsion towards black immigrants; it is white men today who carry out acts of racist violence. Vast numbers of white women, on the other hand, have always been drawn to black men - 50 per cent of black men in Britain have white partners - and the trend is upwards. These women confront brutal racism, sexism and the resentment of black women, and yet most remain undaunted.

Last Sunday, on the Bemerton estate in Islington, north London, white men in Ku-Klux-Klan uniforms went on the rampage, picking on mixed-race families with special ferocity. I went to this estate while researching my forthcoming book on mixed-race relationships, Mixed Feelings (The Women's Press). I saw unspeakably vile graffiti about "white sluts" and "black pimps". A number of the young women with black boyfriends described how they had been spat at and beaten up by white men for being "nigger-lovers". It will not stop them. Sony, a young woman I met, said she enjoyed provoking the white men: "They are useless, fat, stupid, don't have nothing to offer. Black men take care of themselves. I like their culture...And look at those bodies. I think black men have the best bodies in England". Tina, Jo and Fallon are desperate to catch black men because they dance better, dress well and have "just so much confidence".

The three women appear tonight on Skin Deep, a Channel 4 film that follows the women on the hunt for black men - who love the attention even though they are frequently careless and uncommitted themselves. White women, I am told by black "baby fathers" - men who have children with several women - are kinder, more affectionate and less complaining than black "baby mothers". The number of these mixed-race children living with lone, young, white mothers has undoubtedly shot up. Ramsey, one of my interviewees, ventures to give me some other in- depth reasons for these preferences: "The black man is king in the bed, on the dance floor and on some street corners. He has no real power without his sex. White power wants him dead. So we take their girls and make the blokes suffer. They suffer, sister. They try and make us suffer, too, and I do feel sorry for these girls who love us because black culture is the coolest, you know?" This is honest, but not new.

In the Sixties, the African-American writer Eldridge Cleaver wrote Soul on Ice, about the fantasies of black men: "By loving me she proves I am worthy of white love. When my restless hands caress those white breasts they grasp white civilization and dignity and make them mine." What is new about this latest batch of cross-racial lovers is they inhabit a world with its own values and an internal cohesion and ease. In the Fifties and Sixties, black men were similarly irresistible to white women and for not dissimilar reasons. They dressed beautifully, had impeccable manners and knew how to dance the jitterbug. At dance halls, black
men and white women got together and there was no stopping what happened later. But these encounters produced long-term relationships, many of which survive to this day. The racism they faced made them fight harder and they
survived longer.

Relationships between black men and white women in the more affluent classes face their own problems. Many influential black men, such as Trevor Macdonald, Lenny Henry, Ainsley Harriott, Frank Bruno and Lord Taylor, have white partners and are accused by black women of seeking trophy wives who will ensure they fit in comfortably with the establishment. But the rebuttal from these black men was the same. They all loathed the loud confrontational demeanor of black women. Frank Bruno stated, "I personally find the untidy and over weight disposition of black women to be undesirable. Their unkept kinky heads and masculine facial features is also a turn off for me". The other black men agreed.

Sharron Davies, then married to the black athlete Derek Redmond, described how much harsh comments from black women hurt her. Sharron said, "I think it's a shame these angry and bitter black women stare and say rude comments. They are so jealous because black men find us much easier to get along with. We don't have the temper tantrums and use profanity and display ignorance in public as they do." Dawn French and Lenny Henry have even had death threats. But again, these relationships carry on and are getting more and not less common. White women with black men first caused a panic in this country in the 16th century and the same anxieties will no doubt surface when people watch Tina and her friends tonight. But no laws, policies or lectures will, it seems, stop this attraction. And anyway, says Sony defiantly: "Look at our beautiful babies. We make beautiful babies with black men. What's wrong with that?"

I don't know the exact gender breakdown, but 50% of Black Britains are the product of interracial relationships/marriages. One parent is (White) British and the other is Black, usually by way of the West Indies or Africa. Guitarist Slash of Guns and Roses fame is one of the exceptions. His mother is Black American, his father is (White) British.

Urban_scribe,

Because so many Black Brits have a White parent, how does that effect their social/economic standing in Britain as a whole and with non-biracial Black Brits?

I'm not against this article because it will take this to push white men and black women together and down the road there will not be any black men with big dongs and "dark" style anymore so the black women will win in the end anyway we will all be mixed and we will dominate the white men because white men prefer mulatto women anyway Black women are depressed to be rejected and hated by black men but you will get the victory in the end think of I am glad the white woman is showing the white man her true face because this will make him take her off the pedestal. White man is the power of the world and black woman is smart having the soul of the universe Sisters see the blessing in disguise.

The "black man-white woman-white man" triangle will always exist because it is instrinsically involved in the drive to be the Alpha Male. To steal away the "prized" female of the species is an affront to the status of being "king of the hill". Mention is seldom made about how many brothas also show resentment toward sistas who hook up with white men. "The love conquers all" platitude is about chivalry, not instinct. The spade of forbidden fruit can trump hearts in the mating game. C'est la Vie.

The white man is the power of the universe?
I think that is a exaggeration.
I do think there is a GOD out there,some where.
I Agree,that white men are the ones with the most power, in this world but not the universe.
The white man is a master thief,whites have
ruled the world by stealing,lying,murder and rape
But something tell's me that their time is up.

China and India both have fast growing economy's Both country's have a population of a billion people.
Half the world's population is Asian.
There is going to come a time when the Asians,
are going to get power hungry
I think China will soon become a threat,
to the U.S and Europe.
The Europeans have no natural resources of their own.They have to go to places like Africa to get oil,gold,diamonds.China is also very interested in Africa.Soon Africa will be up for grabs, unless the Africans finally Wake up and get some intelligence.
Africa will be colonized again,this time by the Chinese.

I think this article is stereotypical. But just like the white, male-owned media likes to push the stereotypical image of the overweight, pushy, bossy, and loud black woman, they like to push the stereotypical image of interracial unions as being nothing but a fetish.


Boring.


Yawn.

Exactly, Moonsigns this article was poorly written, and full of stereotypes. Which is what I would expect from a self-hating Negrosoid and his Racist White slave-master. Also, white men need to something different than indulge their pre-occupation with Black men and white women.

While 50% of Black British men are married to white women. 33% of Black British women are married to white men. But notice how they don't focus on that. Their whole focus was on Black men and white women. GET A LIFE!!!!

There aren't many Black people in Britain they are less than 12% of the population so this is not a threat to whiteness or Britishness by any means there's more Asia/Indians in Britain than blacks but the Asia/Indians predominately marry their own kind. But to blacks it always seems there's a lot of blacks.

Enchanted,

what are you talking about when you say White men prefer mulattos? Whenever I see a White man with a Black woman she is usually not mixed, and either brown or darkskinned.

Yeah, laughing at Black women is so funny isn't it NTFS. Seeing there "pain and humiliation" and the extinction of the Black race makes me "double over" with laughter.

Have you ever thought of starting the Klan Komedy Hour? I'm sure you would get alot of ratings White, worshipping, self-hating, Negrosoids(Which there are so many especially here in California). And racist white ppl. That show would be a hit!!!

Ntfs, honestly, for a guy who goes around lamenting the ignorance and immorality of black U.S. culture, I'm surprised that someone like you would even read such nonsense. These people exhibit THE MOST ignorant, ill-bred boorish behavior I've ever read about in my life. Their mentality is at least as bad - if not WORSE - as the American blacks you are continuously ranting about. And I don't know if you've noticed this but you post similar articles to this one A WHOLE, WHOLE LOT ...which means this is prob'ly what you READ a whole lot as well. I'm surprised.

Excerpts from the article:


"Tina, Jo and Fallon are desperate to catch black men because they dance better, dress well and have "just so much confidence".

. . . .

"White women, I am told by black "baby fathers" - men who have children with several women - are kinder, more affectionate and <b>less complaining than black "baby mothers". The number of these mixed-race children living with lone, young, white mothers has undoubtedly shot up. Ramsey, one of my interviewees, ventures to give me some other in- depth reasons for these preferences: 'The black man is king in the bed, on the dance floor and on some street corners. He has no real power without his sex. White power wants him dead. So we take their girls and make the blokes suffer. They suffer, sister. They try and make us suffer, too, and I do feel sorry for these girls who love us because black culture is the coolest, you know?'"

. . . .

"Sharron said, 'I think it's a shame these angry and bitter black women stare and say rude comments. They are so jealous because black men find us much easier to get along with. We don't have the temper tantrums and use profanity and display ignorance in public as they do.'"

This article is over five years old!!! Just because the article said tonight doesn't mean it's referring to TO-NIGHT!!! I asked you how you knew it was TO-NIGHT since the article that NT posted didn't include the DATE!!!

"Ntfs, honestly, for a guy who goes around lamenting the ignorance and immorality of black U.S. culture, I'm surprised that someone like you would even read such nonsense. "

Surprised about what? Yes, I have written (and will continue to do so) about irresponsible reckless self destructive behavior by a number of blacks. And the ignorance and immorality that you speak of, is the behavior of a segment of blacks -not the entire black American culture. There is no mystery here.

"These people exhibit THE MOST ignorant, ill-bred boorish behavior I've ever read about in my life. Their mentality is at least as bad - if not WORSE - as the American blacks you are continuously ranting about."

First of all, your comparison between these English people and the self induced pathology and anti-social behavior of under class Negroes is faulty. The people in the article where voicing their opinions about interracial relationships and their personal experiences. You don't have to agree with them. That's fine. YOu should voice why you disagree with what they siad. I don't have a problem with that. But again, they were lamenting about their personal preferences and experiences. Nothing more. Their opinions are not the same as senseless inner city street crime, gang violence, drug addiction, massive out of wedlock births, AIDS epidemic, men abandoning their children, failed educational systems, etc, etc, etc. As I said, I have no problems with you voicing your disagreement with the people in the article but comparing them to the social pathology of besieged underclass Negroes is ridiculous.

"And I don't know if you've noticed this but you post similar articles to this one A WHOLE, WHOLE LOT ...which means this is prob'ly what you READ a whole lot as well. I'm surprised."

Well, you're wrong....again. First of all, I did not write this article. I am not responsible for it's content. It was sent to me by a black female friend. We send each other a myriad of articles ranging from race to national history to music to current events. I received the article, read it, copied, pasted and posted. Done deal. Sorry if it offends you. But that's the way it goes. And the articles posted by me are no less disingenuous than the never ending recycled obsessive diatribes about skin color -dark complexioned vs light complexioned or questions and comments about rappers, Beyonce, Oprah, countless threads about black women, etc, etc...

I have no idea why you would take the preferences of these English people so personal. Don't let their personal experiences and interests affect you. You should know better. I'm surprised.....

"Btw: Wonder what percentage of Black female Brits have White Black mates."



ABM


in britain and whales i heard there's also a pretty high percentage of black british women in interracial relationships. I think it was somethign liek 36% of black british women married outside their race or around that number. You can view a statistics chart on it at this link.

http://www.statistics.gov.uk/cci/nugget.asp?id=1090


what i found telling about the link above though is that it felt the need to expound on the percentage of black british men and mixed black british men who married outside their race but it never mentioned the women...it leaves it up to you to look at the chart and figure up the numbers for yourself on the women. How typical. But i remember reading another article a while back that said the percentage of black british women was around 36%.


Anyway to me its a funny coincidence that you ask that question though because a few months ago i emailed the people who compiled these stats about the percentage of mixed race black carribean women who were in interracial relationships and there were almost just as many mixed race women as mixed race men in these relationships...here are the stats i got back when i mailed them. I found it very offensive that they chose to highlight the men but didnt make it a point to distinguish the percentage of mixed race black women who were married interracial. so anyway, out of curiosity i emailed them and here is what i got.


"Hello,

Thank you for your query regarding our statistics on inter-ethnic
marriages.

The Mixed group category in England and Wales does not only include a
Mixed
White and Black option but also includes the following:
Mixed: White and Black Caribbean
Mixed: White and Black African
Mixed: White and Asian
Mixed: Any Other Mixed background
More details are available in 'Who are the Mixed?' (
http://www.statistics.gov.uk/cci/article.asp?id=1580)

For details of inter-ethnic marriages among women from Mixed groups,
please
see: http://www.statistics.gov.uk/statbase/Product.asp?vlnk=10991
(Focus on
Ethnicity and Identity data) and file titled
14_InterEthnicMarriagesNewFeb05

From these tables you will see that among women who described their own
ethnic group as 'Mixed - White and Black Caribbean', 71 per cent were
married to White men, 13 per cent to Black Caribbean men and 10 per
cent to
'Mixed White and Black Caribbean' men.

So among Mixed White and Black Caribbean women, just 12 per cent were
married to someone from the Mixed group (any of the 4 Mixed options)
and 88
per cent were in an inter-ethnic marriage (with someone outside the
main
Mixed group).

In comparison, among women who described their own ethnic group as
'Mixed -
White and Black African', 50 per cent were married to White men, 11 per
cent to Black African men and 28 per cent to 'Mixed White and Black
African' men.

So among Mixed White and Black African women, 31 per cent were married
to
someone from the Mixed group (any of the 4 Mixed options) and 69 per
cent
were in an inter-ethnic marriage (with someone outside the main Mixed
group).

I trust this answers your question. Feel free to contact me if you have
any
further questions.

Best wishes,
Camellia Raha

"Enchanted,

what are you talking about when you say White men prefer mulattos? Whenever I see a White man with a Black woman she is usually not mixed, and either brown or darkskinned."


this is very true brownbeauty because its also what ive witnessed

Uh yeah, I do think you are taking it personal. It's your tone my dear. Like I said before, the article reflects their opinions and experiences. You don't have to agree with them. And this particular article is worth no less time than some of the other recycled turgid threads on this board. I'm not defending what they believe or said. It was sent to me and I just posted it for others to opine. No biggee. Like I said, don't take it personal....!

Misty,

If the number/percentage of BW who interracially date/mate are comparable to those of BM, then who's really to blame for all the miscegenation in Britain? Are we to assume that nearly 40% of Black female Brits date non-Blacks primarily because so many BM are doing the same? If so, is there any evidence of such (other than the predictably kneejerk response "If Black men can dates Whites why can't Black women?")?

...in part because they have Black parents like you who'll encourage their sons to mate with and marry White chicks. So you can have some purdy, lightskindeded grand babies.

Not all people are equally intelligent or equally tall or equally strong so the same goes for beauty. Some groups are better looking than others and I see no reason why we can't look more like Ethiopians by marrying out. Its not such a bda thing but everybody makes it sound so dramatic. We could ALL have nice hair and better features softer skin tones and there's nothing wrong with that so Im not ashamed of seeing how we could look better as a people

Enchanted,

Iman is Somolian and she barely has any damn hair left as it is--her hairline is receding. Not to mention, she has kinky hair like a lot of black folks. So, the idea that we all are going to have a softer grade of hair is not true.

Abm,

the numbers of blakc women married interracially still arent very comparable to those of black men. Because the amount of black british men married interracial is 50%...there is still quite a difference in 50% and 36% although both percentages are pretty high.


Also, i never thought of it as being that way in regards to britain (where the black women have no other choice)...now in america it may be that way for alot of black women where many of them feel they have no other choice.....but as far as britain goes i think the explanation is that the people there just have way fewer race problems than we have here in america and that's why you have such a high number of black british women and black british men who marry outside their race.....another reasonhas to do with the fact that there are simply more white people than black people in britain and whales. So the number of blacks who marry white is going to be pretty high.

also remember they're not even factoring in a one drop rule so they're not counting the people who are mixed with black and white in with the blacks like we do here in america.

if we were to apply the one drop rule to britain like we do to america...the percentage of blacks in interracials would shoot way up even farther because according to the stats the majority of mixed race black british men and women there marry white....its 76% for mixed black carribbean men...... 71% for mixed race black carribean women and 50% for mixed race african women. ....and thats jsut counting the ones who marry white...if you include the ones who are married to indians and pakastanis, the numbers shoot up even more.

something i wonder though is if they're counting people who are only 1/4th white or 1/8th white as "mixed" in britain and whales?


i also wonder what stats for interracial marriages would be like in america if america did like britain and separated the "mixed" people from the "blacks".

ethiopans,eriterians, ARE NOT mixed with white.
They look the way they do because of their genetics,some are mixed with arab.
I honestly think that eriterian and ethiopian,
females are WAY more better loking than most biracial females.
Erterians have a exotic look to them.

Most of the biracial females I have seen,
do not look like Eriterian or ethiopian women.
For some reason I find biracial females to be Not that attractive.

But tri-racial mixed women like Brazilians,and Venezuelans who are a combination of Amazon Indian ,African,and Spaniard and in some cases Asian are VERY ATTRACTIVE.

i mean seriously ntfs....LOL...no offense to enchanted but every post enchanted typed on this thread i had to go wtf????? thats all i could really say.... i couldnt even respond because they were just off...LOL


dont get me wrong, enchanted has many intelligent things to say in other discussions but her mind just seems to fall asleep whenever she clicks on this one..lol

i really think shes probably saying what she's saying out of anger over what was stated in the article and how ignorant the people came off towards black women and how it seemed none of the black men in europe were attracted to black women....anger will make you say irrational things. I doubt she actually believes 80% of the stuff she said in this thread...lol...except for her belief that lighter skin is better...she has admitted to that one already.

i hate to agree with eastwest...LOL but this is true....i never believed that all ethiopians and eritreans were mixed....many of them jsut look that way because they're closer to the desert than other african groups.

Not only that but i dont get why people say the ethiopians and somalis with straight hair have to be mixed with arab....they dont even have any arab features other than the hair and the fact that they are hairy people. They are not built like arabs nor do most of them look anywhere close to arabs in the face.

their head shape is completely different....they also tend to have very long necks while you dont see too many arabs with long necks like that....and their facial features dont really look similar to arabs for the most part. Most of them dont even have hooked noses...arabs tend to have hooked noses.


it's true that the desert makes your hair grow long and straight and it makes a person hairy....so perhaps the reason for their features is that they're simply closer to the desert.

i realize that mixed people come in all colors but generally a mixed person is light skinnned......but most ethiopians ive seen range from dark brown to jet black but they still have the straight hair. so if they are so mixed why arent more of the ones who have straight hair also light skinned.

Their history proves they are mixed Misty and not just with Arabs but mainly with PERSIANS because of the thousands of years they had trading and the original SLAVE TRADE. Kenya is further north than Ethiopia and Somalia so why dont the Kenyans look mixed as well?? Because Kenya DID NOT have trading activity very much with PERSIA, Yemen and the Arab world. The history of these countries totally refutes what you are saying its like Lena Horne saying both her parents are black therefore she has no white blood. That is what Somali and Ethiopians do because they have not mixed in a few hundred years they ignore what happened for thousands of years between them and Asia.

enchanted...as far as kenyans go...they can get pretty light...as well...but it may also have to do with diet.

also again i never denied that SOME ethiopians and eritreans had racial mixture....but i dobut that every one of them with straight or wavy hair is mixed...thats all i was saying.

most ethiopians ive seen arent even light and most of them have straight to wavy to curly hair..and a few of them have kinky hair.....all im saying is if they're so mixed why arent more of them light skinned (generaly mixed people are light skinnned although there are acceptions to the rule)...theres a few light ones but most are not....plus why is it that in america most mixed children still have some curl to their hair...but if you go to ethiopia...there are quite a few very dark people with bone straight hair????

all im saying is perhaps they had some of those features before they mixed....and perhaps everyone with straight to wavy hair isnt mixed.

Misty you are so full of it you need to go to these places before you talk all this nonsense. The majority of people in Ethiopia and Somalia DO NOT look like the ones on t.v. Do you undersand that? You are not seeing the real picture of those countries when you look on t.v. and the majority of people in Kenya could be described as blue black with very fine features. It is in the big industrial cities of those countries that the "ethnics" are on the pedestal and they are surely mixed from generations ago but try to deny it now. All your saying is b.s. until you get your ass over there and get a real picture of the country.

The Ethiopians and Somali you meet in America are of higher class than the majority people in those countries have you ever seen the BANTU Somali and Ethiopians? Are they not East Africans too with their NEGROID features? The HORN is mixed Misty.

The majority of people in Ethiopia and Somalia DO NOT look like the ones on t.v. Do you undersand that? You are not seeing the real picture of those countries when you look on t.v. and the majority of people in Kenya could be described as blue black with very fine features.

enchanted...just like you need to take your ass back and REREAD the dam post.

i even SPECIFIED that most ethiopians dont look mixed so i dont know what the hell point you're arguing here....i simply said most dont have kinky hair....


you will find that many of the darkest, most afrocentric looking ethiopians have wavy hair.....this is why its hard for me to beleive that every ethiopian with that type of hair has mixed ancestry. what you need to realize is that you have 2 main types of black people(the aboriginal types) with the straight hair and the other type with the kinky hair.

the dilit of india are said to come from egypt and nubia (around ethiopia)....and they are soem of the "purest" africans because many of them have little to no outside admixture since the caste system prevented this...they simply ahve straight hair...but some of them look like bantu africans in the face yet have wavy and straight hair. hwo do you explian that???? some of them look more african in the face than most black americans yet have straight hair.

usually a mixed group of people has more of a balance of mixture when it comes to facial features and hair texture.

Nubia is in Sudan, it's nowhere near Ethiopia but in biblical times Sudan and Kenya were part of Ethiopia.

Minus Enchanted's rude remarks and as an Arab American woman I have to agree 100% with Enchanted's comments. The vast majority of Ethiopians do not have "wavy" hair and they are extremely black skinned. You're talking about a country that has 40 million people and is mostly rural.

As you get closer to the big cities, however, the people are what you call [Ethnic Ethiopians], they have admixture going back thousands of years with Yemenese and Persia.

Some groups are better looking than others and I see no reason why we can't look more like Ethiopians by marrying out.
***********************************************

So sad, however I believe that she does NOT represent a minority of Blacks in her views.

So funny how these same Blacks are ALWAYS complaining about why these people who they so desperately want to look like look down on them.

You make it so obvious to newcomers to this country that you hate yourselves yet always act so surprised when "new Americans" from the "third world" look down on you as a people.
