I hear all this talk about brothers going outside of their race to find happiness. Black women aren't this, that and the third. How many times can you play the same song before it gets tired? If some black men feel like they'll be happy with a woman of another race/ethnicity, more power to them. Do what makes you happy. I'm tired of some black men and women complaining about each other. BOTH BLACK MEN & WOMEN need to cut this foolishness out, because both are in the same boat as far as the difficulty of finding a suitable mate. There's not much, if any, that I disagree with in Tommy's video. Many times, the same arguments are recycled: Black women are too mean, too needy, argumentative, ghetto. Black men are jailbirds, can't keep a job, too immature, mama's boys, etc. There are no original arguments for black men/women dating outside of their race. One difference I notice is when black women date outside the race, THEY DO IT with no public service announcement. Some black men make a spectacle of their decision to date outside the race. Let's use a sports analogy: When Lebron James was drafted to Miami Heat from Cleveland, he made a big media spectacle about it. This angered Cleveland fans because they felt like Lebron turned his back on the team. Lebron wouldn't have gotten the flak he did if he would have kept his decision on the low. I said that to say this: Too many people don't want to do soul-searching to figure out why THEY keep having failed relationships. Wherever you go, YOU are the common denominator.
