New Survey of Online Daters Also Shows Improved Perception of Interracial Relationships

MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Jan. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- As the Country marks President Obama's first year in office, and the 24th celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, the face of race relations has altered drastically. Crediting President Obama's election, 54% said that race relations improved significantly since he took office, according to a new poll by the Pew Research Center. With an African American holding the highest position of power in the United States, how has that affected interracial relationships? Leading online dating websites InterracialFriends.com(http://www.interracialfriends.com), AfroMingle.com (http://www.afromingle.com), and BlackMenNow (http://www.blackmennow.com), polled its members in December 2009 to see how they felt about interracial relationships.

The majority of single men and women, 69% of males and 75% of females, are more open to having an interracial relationship because President Obama is African American. Additionally, singles felt that the perception of an interracial couple has changed drastically, both helped by President Obama as well as other high profile celebrity couples such a Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry, Seal and Heidi Klum, Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel, and Ellen Pompeo and Chris Ivery. 80% of women versus 61.6% of men felt that people were no longer prejudiced against interracial couples.

In a new nationwide survey of thousands of single men, we asked: President Barack Obama has rewritten the history of race relations in this Country, but does it also extend towards interracial couples? Are you more open to having an interracial relationship now that Obama is President?

Follows are the complete results:

Yes: 69%

We also asked: Do you think it's easier to be in an interracial relationship because Barack Obama is our President?

Follows are the complete results:

Yes, I think people are much more open-minded now than ever before: 61.6%

No, interracial couples will always face prejudice, regardless of the race of our President: 38.4%

Black women dating white men?

2007-12-15T02:00:00.000-08:00

When white women started dating black men alot the black women had a fit and were very rude to the couple... Their excuse was that white women were trying to steal their men?

When white women started dating black men, it was mostly white men who had a problem with it. Some black men were killed over this. Thankfully that sort of hateful reaction isn't common anymore.

Most black women today aren't going to care one way or the other who other people are dating. Those who do get angry when black men date white women are being unfair, but they do have better reason than you may think.

The reality of life in the US is that black people are a minority group, and there aren't that many eligible black men to begin with. Higher death rates and higher incarceration rates among black men remove a lot of guys from the dating pool. If every available black man in the US paired himself off with a single black woman, there wouldn't be enough black men to go around. So if black men date women of other races, some black women feel upset that this means there's even less of a chance for them to find a nice black boyfriend. It isn't very nice for these women to be mean to a white woman who is dating a black man, but it isn't totally irrational either.

As for black women dating white men, it's not that common. It certainly does happen, but less often than a black man dating a white woman. You can tell by looking at marriage statistics. Black men are about twice as likely to marry a white woman as a black woman is too marry a white man. This has been the case since the 1970s.

There are fewer statistics on dating available, but the American Demographics article I link to below says that 13% of black men who have a live-in girlfriend are dating white women. Only 4% of black women live with a white boyfriend.There are people who'd be upset if they knew a black woman who was dating a white man, but this situation doesn't come up as often as the other way around so you don't hear as much about it.

Difference between dating a black man and a white man?

2007-12-15T01:14:00.000-08:00

What's the difference between a black man and a white man?

It depends on which culture and country they're from.

An american white trash usually would treat woman worse than a black guy from Holland who was raised by a good family.

A guy from America ghetto usually treat a girl worse than a guy from England.

A white guy Italian guy who were raised in very traditional old Italian culture probably would treat a woman worse than a american black guy who was raised by father who is a doctor.

An american black guy who is a in military tend to treat girl better than a mid east guy who believe women are their property.

Don't judge by skin color. judge by their culture.
