One of the biggest Stereotypes concerning white girl/black guy IR relationships is that the white girl is usually being used or manipulated by the black guy she is dating. Well from my experience being around many IR daters, I find this to be untrue. In fact, I would go as far as to say that the opposite has been true in most of the relationships Iv seen. Yes there are men out there that look to manipulate women with fragile self esteems and no sense of self worth, but this can happen to women of any color. As I stated, Iv seen more instances where the white girl is getting the better of the relationship as far as gifts,money, and other items. This can happen for a variety of reasons , but unfortunately one is that some black men feel white women or women of nationalities other than there own are the ultimate prize. Like rapper Kanye West jokingly said in his hit song Gold Digger,”After he get on he’ll leave yo ass for a white girl.” Even as the beneficiary of such men’s adoration, I find this mentality to be disturbing. I don’t want to be some guys trophy because of his own self hating issues. Who cares what he buys me!!!
Even though I find this stereotype to be untrue, I will say that black men seem to be more willing to lie about the nature of their relationship with women in general. For instance, maybe his friends are giving him a hard time about dating a white girl. He might feel the need to lie and say,”Well Im only with her because she pays for everything and lets me drive her car.” When in actuality he might be the one paying for most things and letting her drive his car. Even in the celebrity world, this stereotype doesn’t hold true. From Khloe/Lamar, Hank/Kendra, or Ice-T and Coco, it doesnt look like any of these white girls are getting used or taken advantage of. In fact I would say their celebrity black male significant other treats them very well. Of coarse we can never really know the true nature of their relationships, but outward appearances suggest that these celebrity black males treat their white girlfriends/wives very well. So what do you guys think about this stereotype, do you find it often to be true?
