description: This book shows Black women how to go about getting involved in interracial relationships and deal with the social pressures that such relationships inevitably attract. It shows how you can clear out your old social conditioning and inhibitions about interracial relationships, tune out the expectations that you should date only Blacks and clarify your reasons for romantic and sexual attraction to White men. This book shows where and how you can go about meeting White men, how to make yourself more interracially approachable, offers guidelines for screening mature and emotionally available White males into your social life and helps you move beyond the shortage of Black men. This book clears away the misconceptions that all too many Black women have about White men and explains what really goes on inside the minds of White men who seek out and date Black women. Women often see men as foreign psychological territory, and racial differences can accentuate such misperceptions and misunderstandings. Black women who have considered the possibilities that interracial relationships offer are all too familiar with the broad spectrum of unspoken taboos and social pressures often serve to block Black women from getting involved in interracial relationships. This book explains the psychosexual origins of the various forms of social opposition to those wearing "the scarlet letter of interracial dating," from the stares interracial couples encounter almost everywhere they go, to why parents work so hard at breaking up the interracial relationships of their offspring to why certain types of disturbed individuals become enraged at the sight of total strangers who happen to be in interracial relationships. Find out how you can best understand, cope with, and tune out, the variety of social pressures that often inhibit Black women from getting, and staying, involved with White men and initiate unembarrassed interracial relationships. This second edition includes the complete text of the first edition together with a new chapter about racism on the street.
