Do Black Men Prefer White Women?
“While everyone is entitled to their preferences, true love has no colour…”
- Xenocrates
In the film Obsessed (2009), a deranged white woman (played by Ali Larter) comes on rather strongly to a powerful black executive (played by Idris Elba). Thereafter, the film becomes a setup for the ultimate cat fight between the white woman and the black man’s wife (played by Beyoncé Knowles). The plot reverses the black man pursues white woman stereotype.
While it is obvious that the film’s ludicrous plot is nothing more than a visualization of the revenge fantasy of every black woman who has ever lost a lover to a white woman, it does beg the question: Do black men prefer white women? Is there any truth to this stereotype? I explore this and other related issues in this thought provoking piece on sex and racial politics.

The above comments are a collection of the most racist, retarded and uneducated comments I have ever read in my life.
Agreed.
I agree! On tv you see a movie you have the white couple and then the black man, where is his woman? They pimp their women on black men and it is usually their trash the white woman they do not want. They figure if they can get all black men to mate with their women it would erase the dark skin black man and they do not have to feel he is a threat. The average black woman do not want or like white men, why should they, everything that is wrong to be done is toward our fathers, brothers, sons and we are just not interested. Most white men are die hard racist we are not interested in any of the other races because you have spent generations trying to kill us off. The system set up by the Caucasian has destroyed our family structure. You and your women make it hard for us and our men to get and keep jobs why should we want you?And this goes for all the other white races no matter what they call themselves. You are our enemy.Our men get with these women out of being desperate, and some are just plan scared fools.For many years our people fought to keep bad tv images of our people out of the music and media and their media has made it look like all black women are strippers and whores, and our men cannot be all they can be unless they are with the white woman. The problem is the white man what ever race he or she call themselves are really insecure about their own whitesness and identity as a people, because they know everything that they have become was stolen from the ancient and even today black people, and they go so far as to say they received technology from a alien than to admit it was stolen from black inventors. In essences they know they are not all that tv has pump them up to be.And their women are just whorish and he just use it to his and her advantage to further our destruction and she just get free sex out of it.I guess it would be better than sexing Fido.Divide and conquer by any means necessary and this is just another one of those means. Our men are just what Willie Lynch want them to be and that is afraid, and making all the wrong decisions to achieve his freedom.
Society brainwashes our men to prefer white woman by keeping black beauty out of their face. The current miss universe leila lopes, no one knows about her. Night time drama no beautiful black woman. If their is, white men take them. Like jada pinkett’s hawthorne, kerry washington’s scandal. Tara banks did top americans models to show off black beauty, today it is all white woman. We are forbidden to have deeply intense films with our black men. Instead of titanic and the love note we have the color purple, two woman loving. Obssessed where is the romantic scene, dreamgirls? Blacks are slaves bought and sold to the will of the controlling powers. Black men will always prefer others if thier uniformed, and lack the preservation of self.
Im married to a white man but secretly I wish he were black.
