Why do people get mad when they see a black man with a white woman but don't mind a white man with a black woman?

I just read that there's a Cheerios commercial that was banned to be in the Super Bowl because it included a black man and a white woman. But, I've seen movies where white men would go for black women and have also seen this in a few tv shows.

    I think there are many people who disagree with the idea of anything interracial.

    I saw a Swiffer commercial that depicted a black lady and a white man with children on it....the comments were disabled, so I guess there were pretty nasty comments on that, too.

    There's no one way street. Both couples experience serious trouble.

    EDIT: You see black men with white women more often. What are you talking about?

    There are people who find white men with black women a weird pairing because they're so used to seeing white women with black men.

    It's depicted more often in movies, television, and even glorified in mainstream rap music and whatnot than the reverse ever has been.

    There's only one song that I can think of that is of a black woman/white man interracial relationship, and that is "Brown Eyed Girl," by Van Morrison, originally titled "Brown Skinned Girl."

    The only reason the black man white woman get heat is because black men usually diss black women or white men. Its really that simple!

    Combination of racism and sexism. You know how any black guy will take as much white puss as he can, but black chicks are exotic and exciting. Disclaimer: sarcasm used to make a point.

    Black women become upset because society defines white women as they most beautiful creatures in the world. African features on black women are labelled as ugly and attractive, while black features on a white women are considered atractive. Black women are described as having big lips, big hips, big butts, and big thighs while a white women with the same features are described as having sultry pouty lips, curvy figure, and bootylicious behinds. Toni Braxton wore the same dress as Jennifer Lopez wore before Jennifer Lopez did and nobody paid Toni Braxton any mind but Jennifer Lopez received all the recognization then she started getting complimented on her booty. Toni Braxton has the same figure as JLO because they praised Jennifer and ignored Toni. I know Jennifer Lopez is Hispanic but Hollywood accepts Latinas like Jennifer and Cameron Diaz more because they look to white women than a Latina with darker skin. The Egyptian Queen Neferitit was considered one of the most beautiful women in history until white people found out that she was really black. Then, they started to say that she was not that beautiful and had deformities. Some black men date white women because it's love and you can't put a color on love, which I totally respect. Others dates white women because it is a symbol of status and a upgrade from a black woman since they were told all their lives that white women were the most beautiful women in the entire world since slavery times. This message has also been given to black females throughout their lives that white is beautiful and black is unattractive. The closer you are to white, they better you are. That is why there is some manner inner battles with blacks like light-skinned vs dark skinned or good hair vs. bad hair. So that is why black women have a problem with black men dating outside their race. On the other hand, white men also have a problem with white women dating black men because the black men are doing what white men did to black women for hundreds of years. The difference is this time it's consensual. And some black men do have a problem with seeing black women with a white man. But the ones who are usually offended are the black men who date white women because they think it is a status symbol.

    Black guys and white girls seem to make up the majority of the hate on a black/white pairing. Of course it is the more common black/white pairing so it will be seen more.

    But when the less common black girl/white guy pairing happens they do not get the same amount of haters as the more common black guy/white girl pairing do.

    If i go see youtube videos of a black girl parading her white husband most of the comments (aside from the trolls) will be overwhelmingly positive. A lot of black guy/white girl videos have a lot of dislikes and hater comments from bitter black females and racist angry white males.

    And i saw a Toyota commercial of a white guy and a biracial/black looking woman with their mixed kid and guess what-it never got any negative attention like the cheerio's commercial did. It never would make national news about the haters.

    Source(s): I don't have a dog in this fight. So it is from my honest observation. Dislike it all you want-it is still the truth.

    This topic is getting old. It is a combination of bigotry, sexism, and racism that have created a narrow minded image of black men lusting after white women.

    Is that why both Black American men and White American women cared about my relationship?

    I couldn't believe half the things that came out of their mouths. Always complaining and voicing their opinions. Their distaste.

    I often wondered why these people have a ****. I thought relationships were only between the two parties involved?

    Being a guy myself I can say that most men are much more intolerant in these kind of issues than women. That is also why many men still have problems with gay people while heterosexual women are usually quite easy-going about it.

    In the case of black people, I think it is really a combination of sexism with racism. If someone is sexist, chances are, he is also a little racist (both are cases of intolerance). I think these men would think stuff like "black dudes steal away are pretty white girls. They're meant to be for us!" But then when they see a black woman, they don't perceive her as competition.
