I am a black male and I am stuck between both of my parents expectations. My mother wants me to date/marry black and ONLY black because she feels that I will have more in common and won't have to deal with racism and stuff. But my father says that I should date/marry white only because they are in gerneral more respectful, kind and knows how to treat a man good. This does seem ignorent and very petty but it has really gotten out of control! I even asked the if I married someone nonblack/white and they said they would both disown me!

This is where I stand. I don't care about race! I just want someone that will make me happy but...........I am hyperly attracted to white women and I haven't told my mother I am open minded towards dating white.
What makes things worse is that if I do marry white, dad will buy me a $500,000 house on 10 arces of land and two BMW's and a Porsche!

I feel bad but I just really want someone that will treat me right and I don't want to take sides.......
