Should White Women Be Wary Of Dating Black Men

[sp1814]

Just wandering around the Daily Mail website because of a thread posted a few minutes ago, and I came across this story.

Not sure if this is a commonly held belief amongst the general public, or whether the Daily Mail comments section (sort into top rated order) has been infiltrated by a gang of Internet trolls:

Looking at the top rated comments here, should one feel worried about Kelly Brooke' relationship with the (astonishing looking) David McIntosh?

Do people genuinely believe that this is a product of interracial relationships?

Just noticed your post. That's terrible. It's a special kind of coward who will physically or verbally abuse his partner. Hope these women you know went on to establish happier relationships.

Bang to rights.

Maybe we should tattoo "violent towards partners" on the foreheads of any person convicted of assaulting a a current or ex partner?

maybe just a large red cross, like they used to paint on the doors of plague victims to warn others to keep their distance.

[ummmm]

Only if it's truly believed that people can't change. Once a wife beater always a wife beater...

sp - have you been having several sips of fermented crushed grapes today ? :-)

I cant see anything in the piece , suggesting his colour is relevant .

Or , are you just asking the question generally ?

[2sp_]

I struggle to believe that someone who beats their partner can really change. I was in an abusive relationship when I was younger, and he promised it wouldn't happen again and it always did until I stopped it by leaving.

Maybe I'm more cynical because of my experiences.

Bazile, the race stuff was in the readers' comments below the story but has since been modded away.

Honest - hand on heart...the comments were there earlier. Some of them were err...'very forcefully put'.

They've been removed.

[2sp_]

Must have been bad if the Mail removed them...

[ummmm]

Yep...been there too, 2sp, but I do believe that people can change.

As I sit here looking across the Estuary from the balcony off my lounge, I am so relieved I no longer live in London, or for that matter any other large town or city, looking at SP's posts, he is obviously an intelligent guy, yet his life seems to bounce between homophobic and racist events on an almost daily basis, it must be very stressful (especially for Marjorie).

[Bazile]

right - ho

[2sp_]

ummmm, maybe with the right therapies and counselling but I'm not sure if that is provided in Prison or by any other pubic body?

Chances are if a man (or woman) is abusive in one relationship, they will be in subsequent relationships. In my opinion...

[dunnitall]

Nothing to do with skin colour as has been said. However I am against inter racial unions for two reasons, one because of the children who are born from these relationships who can often find it difficult to know which race they belong to, black or white and two because of any genetic problems where the medical profession find it creates future health problems for mixed race people. I read it is difficult to deal with health problems that appear specifically in mixed race off spring. It's difficult to find cures for anything that is thrown up in the way of health. I don't know if anyone has heard of this before but I read it online from some eminent people who declared this was the case and it would escalate as races mixed.

[2sp_]

dunnitall, regardless of skin colour we are all part of the same race - it's called the human race.

I think you may have stumbled upon the BNP website at some point.

[pixie373]

About time they started working it out, then, dunnital.

[dunnitall]

Sp, not to do with BNP I assure you. This was something I read about the problems caused by diseases difficult to deal with and written by medical people who came across it. Stop trying to stir it. How come different races experience different diseases, sickle cell disease specific to a certain race etc? Of course we are all the human race but just like anything in nature there are specifics even if you don't want to acknowledge that with different races.

[dunnitall]

That was to 2sp!

I've just had a DNA check, dunnitall, and found I have some black ancestors I didn't know about. I'm managing to cope okay so far, though maybe I will wake up confused one of these mornings.

It's true some diseases are more commonly found in black people; the reverse is also true.
