Do u think a white woman can understand the struggles and issues of a black man if she is dating him?

She definitely can understand if she has the education about the issues and the desire to do so. Peace.

What struggles and issues?

Generalist statements like " Do you think a white woman can..." Infer that you have a problem. This type of question is called "Moral Preening" implying that because of some special attribute I possess, others will never be as knowledgeable or able to understand an issue as well as I can. While at the same time showing that the questioner is unwilling to see the question from any ones point of view but their own. General statements and questions are always wrong. Why do White people......? Why do Christians........? Why do Muslims..........? Do you think Democrats.....? Do you think Republicans........? One of the major problems we as Humans have is we want to paint everyone with the same brush. So to your question: Some white women will understand their mans problems and struggles. Some will not. Some black women will not understand their mans needs and some will. Some people will continue "Moral Preening"....... Yours: Grumpy

What struggles, waiting for the government check to come in? All this talk of struggle is bullshit get off your asses and do something. This is a great answer I have found in another question regarding your imaginary struggle There is a difference between remembering and learning from the past, and harping and whining about the past. At the risk of sounding insensitive, many blacks continually erect the whole issue of slavery in order to instill guilt in a society for its past wrongs, solely for the benefit of exploiting that society, and also excusing themselves for their own shortcomings. Many times when a black person doesn’t get the career that they want, desired position at a university, or the scholarship they desire, some advocacy group blames it on discrimination and racism, without even assessing whether that person, who was contending for those aforementioned things, really had the merits to qualify for what they were vying for. Their response is more reactionary than reasonable. Many groups, surprisingly to this day, like to attribute the lower socioeconomic status of blacks, the high solvency of their families, the large incarceration rate of their men, their rampant illegitimacy problem, and a host of other maladies to the issue of slavery, without looking deeper into the inherent flaws within the culture itself. Much of what has set African Americans behind other races is not coming from the enemy without, but starts with the enemy from within. As much as blacks pay lip service to hard work, family values, Christian morality, and determination, when they see one of their members excel in the area of academics, or legitimately in the area of business, immediately the term “sellout” is invoked to describe them. A whole host of denigrating terms is used to describe these intrepid few, and all those insults imply in some fashion that they are abandoning their culture for success. The African American culture more than any other culture that I have observed relishes in being the victim, indeed many times it can be called a culture of victim hood. They act as if they are the only ones who have been subjugated, discriminated against, and treated inequitably throughout history. If blacks can attribute their lowly station in life to past injustices, how much more so can the Jews, who just as recently as 60 to 70 years ago were systematically slaughtered in the millions; who in almost every era have been living in exile from their homeland, ostracized in every foreign land they lived in, enslaved by numerous despots, and till this day are vilified by groups that far out number them and seek to destroy them. If anyone has a right to have a chip on their shoulder and decry the unfairness of the world it is the Jews - more so than the blacks. Yet do they allow the past evils that they were subjected to, or the current global acrimony that they face, to deter them from being successful? No. Jews make up the top doctors, scientists, inventors, engineers, businessmen, philosophers, entertainers and political leaders of the world, and they have done it all without special concessions like affirmative action. They have surmounted seemingly impossible setbacks to stand head and shoulders above the forces that seek to destroy them. You don’t see them lament ad nauseam about how they were wronged in the past. They don’t seek to have a month set aside to acknowledge prejudices they have overcome and accomplishments they have achieved; though as a small group they have accomplished more so than a much larger black community. How odd is it that such a tiny group as the Jewish people can attain so much and contribute so greatly to the betterment of mankind, despite the horrors they have been put through, but the much larger black population has done proportionally much less. Sure there are many black people who have succeeded in the above areas that I have mentioned, and they should be lauded as beacons of hope. They should be emulated. Yet, for some reason most of the black community does not follow in step. Instead, we hear about how they are downtrodden, and treated like scum, and it is the white man’s fault that they are in the predicament they are in, and therefore they are owed something. I can give numerous example of many ethnicities, aside from the Jews, who have been oppressed in one form or another, and how they have risen above that oppression to be something better. Their plight was no less harsh than that of blacks historically. So what is really at the root of the black population’s underachievement in the professional, academic, and social arenas? Ultimately, it comes down to their own vilification of success as losing ones identity, and in essence equating success with assimilating to a slave master’s ideal. Until they get over the sins of the past, they will never have a bright future

Well thats hard todays racism is still here whether we like it or not but she would have the samem struggle and issuses is she was dating another race or her same race is the question that matters does he realli love her and does she realli love him think about that

It depends I would think on how long they have been together and exactly how close they are and of course the struggles at hand. If she is open and and not close minded and he is as well then I think to some degree she could but really no one could understand the struggles of any man or woman. You may have situations that are alike but your not that person so you can't understand fully struggles,or things a person feels or go's through

NO! nor if she is married to him. She can only listen, observe, inquire, and support. It is baffling how thick the pressure is, the billions of slights in credibility & worth he must go through every minute of every day!!!!!!

This is a very vague question....is this a specific man or are you just generalizing that all black men have the same struggles and issues? I am a white woman who dated a black man, and his "struggles and issues" translated into excuses and self pity.

Very interesting question. Not unless she mysteriously turns black. I'm joking. Why do we even relate issues to color anymore? And what issues is the black man having that no one else is? There are pressures from either side of the fence. For white people it could be that they come from an influential family and happen to like black women. Do you think that would be considered a struggle? For a black man it could be him trying to make partner in a law firm and experience opposition because they're holding it out for the son of a white friend that their indebted to. I think it boils down to love between two people. If she loves him and he loves her, they will know each other inside and out. From top to bottom and he can TELL her what bothers him, about his struggles, his achievments, his fears and insecurities. Same holds true if he was dating a black woman who was raised as a princess in martha's vineyard. Everyone's social and economic background is different, regardless of race. So i am dark skinned and my man is black but lighter than most white people. Does that mean I can't understand his struggles as a light skinned black man with hazel eyes who is treated as a white man? Communication and conversation. Color really is god's way of providing variety. Sort of like a crayon box. They all look different but at the same time they are all alike. Diva
