There are more single black women who have college degrees than their male counterparts. Most people believe that these women remain single because they are stuck on waiting for good black men with the same education level or even better to come and sweep them off their feet. Looking at this from the demand/supply point of view, books and articles have been written advising black women to look for love elsewhere – outside their race.

Those advocating for interracial dating for single black women however don’t mean to say that there are no black men around. The advice is being given based on the fact that there is a shortage of available black men. Talk host Oprah has encouraged them to "explore". Whoopi Goldberg tells them to date whoever is around.

One thing that has made single black women to shy away from interracial dating is the fear of being dubbed a sellout. Those who have decided to play the interracial dating field have had to live with grief from their family and friends. Some of them have chosen loyalty to their race over their own happiness.

Single black women deserve the same kind of happiness other women enjoy. They too deserve men who will love, respect and honor them, regardless of race or skin color. Word has been going around that White men don’t find Black women attractive and unfortunately, some black women do believe this to be true. But instead of believing this, why not judge every white man as an individual?

Truth be told, there is evidence that an increasing number of black women are dating and marrying interracially. This alone is enough proof that some White men indeed do love black women. So instead of single black women sitting and believing some people’s admonitions about White men, I think it will only be fair to judge every man by the content of his character.

Single black women should first identify what they are looking for and what they really want in man. And if that person who has shown interest in you and has what you are looking for happens to be from another race (not necessarily white), then I think Whoopi’s advice is worth following – date who is around. We don’t find happiness by dating someone from our own race. We get happiness from dating a person who brings out the happiness in us.

What better reason to date interracially than having found a good man – no matter their skin color?
