WE ASKED, YOU ANSWERED: Why Do Black Men Date Outside Their Race? Over the weekend, black women were honored during BETs annual Black Girls Rock! event which got us thinking. We know Black women are amazing and deserve all of the kudos in world but do the men see it? In response, we posed the question to our Facebook page: If Black girls rock , then why do black men use our perceived flaws to justify dating outside their race? Some Black men who date outside of their race would do so even if Black women treated them like Gods or Kings. These Black men make up lame excuses about Black women having flaws to somehow justify their interracial dating choices, when in actuality these Black men worship White flesh, and would do so no matter how good Black women were, said John F.
