ROBIN THICKE: I LOVE BLACK WOMEN

Ebony Magazine published a feature story about actress Paula Patton. They talk about her career, as well as her new baby and her R&B singer husband, Robin Thicke. In the story, they included quotes from Thicke about his wife and how they met, in which the singer professed that he loves black women and always have. Now, I’m not surprised (obviously) but I couldn’t help but chuckle at his admission. It’s a stark contrast from singer John Mayer’s February interview, where he admitted to being unattracted to black women.

So, this got me to thinking. How is it that some people are open to dating other races almost instantly, while others or not? I used to think it was environment. Certainly, the white people that attended my predominantly black high school usually ended up dating black people but is there more to it than that?
