it's alright, if it was whitepeoplemeet.com then it would definitely be racist and grouds for a ****storm. /sarcasm


Sarcastic perhaps, but also with a grain of truth. I would expect if whitepeoplemeet.com existed, there would indeed be cries of racism and exclusion. I can recall many many years ago, for example, that there used to be a Miss Black America competition, even though black women participated--and sometimes won--the "normal" Miss America pageant. Someone had the idea of creating a Miss White America in response to the black one, and it went over like a fart in church.

I understand the concept of blackpeoplemeet.com, but I don't enjoy the double standards.

I wasn't aware of white people dating sites. I stay away from those sites anyway because to me, it's like saying "Hi, I'm too socially retarded to meet someone in real life, so here I am." No offense, of course xd

Well....in my case, I didn't come out, I just let things flow, was myself, and it all kind of fell into place and they got a clue. I've yet to do the whole sit-down-let's-talk thing because I feel no need for that if it's already OBVIOUS.

My family are a bunch of clueless basturds!!! They're just not picking up the clues that i'm droping. But it's cool thought, because i want to be out of the house when they find out, that way they won't be able to kick me out with no place to go.

Wow, just reading the first page of this is making me laugh out of shame (If that makes sence)

It is wrong to separate races like that, but it is also right... If you really think about it little bit more out of the box, you can see that their are people who could be mad at the other race from past crap (such as myself, im mad at my own race for doing crap it shouldnt have) and then their are others who don't care and love every skin, such as myself as well... sweatdrop I guess what I'm saying is their are 2 sides to this, and they both make sence -shrugs-
     
Are you being bullied offline and/or online?
Click here than!
This will take you to my Anti-Bully petition.
If you are being bullied and want it to stop, then post their and say "I sign"
This is a group of sites though....There's also Seniorpeoplemeet.com and Latinpeopleomeet.com I believe it's a web-ring.

Oh well chances are no one will read this.

I know this was way back on the first page but...

ZechsK


and the list goes on, and no one thinks it hypocritical that they aren't being forced to cater for straight people.


That's because they already do cater to straight people.

Anyway, while I don't particularly enjoy double standards [the Miss America example mentioned earlier, for instance...creating a separate contest seemed totally unnecessary], I don't really have a problem with the existence of blackpeoplemeet.com [except that of course the website title is pretty ridiculous if you ask me].

Why? I know that if there were a whitepeoplemeet.com people would be upset, but the truth of the matter is that racism is still a prevalent force in the U.S., and white people are still predominantly catered to. It's probably incredibly easy for white people to find other white people on popular dating sites like eHarmony...because white people are still the most privileged, they really don't need a whitepeoplemeet.com. I mean, really. Sites catering to minorities [like seniorpeoplemeet.com and latinpeoplemeet.com as mentioned above] exist because strong communities of those minorities exist. So what's the big deal?

And I wouldn't say that being white alone would count as belonging to a "strong community" in the same sense either...the entire culture is dominated by white ideals so there really isn't a need or a place for one.
     
I need a Kitten Star.
I see ads for those kinds of sites a lot.I can't quite explain why probably has something to do with a large amount of ethnocentricity in dating.
