None of them expected to see me date a black man, and they didn't hide their surprise, but none of them said anything bad about it. Yes some white men get really "turned off" by it, some stop calling as soon as they find out, but... the way I see it, its too bad for them!
Now I fall in the category that openly dates black men (although my current bf is white), and would gladly marry one if I meet the right guy.

good for you
