This post is very similar to the ones I often see on African American boards.  But there, the post is "Why are African American men attracted to white women."  Invariably on those boards, the responses from the African American men would consist of insults and degradations of African American women and comments in favor of white women.  I was always dissappointed and surprised to see that -- as I think it is shameful to find an ethnic group categorically dismissing their women.  A nation never rises above its women.

While people can have preferences, it is not okay to dismiss the women in your ethnic group, for whatever reason.  I remember once, I was visiting Chicago and was having dinner with some doctoral students from Kenya, but educated in the United States, and some white American men.  I was the only woman in the group.  We started to discuss women and which group had the best women.  Being a woman, I mostly listened to the conversation and did not say much.  But what followed was an almost 15 minutes of praise of Kenyan women, by my three Kenyan friends.  They said Kenyan women were the prettiest, the nicest, the most shapely, on and on.  In fact they encouraged the white men to try dating a Kenyan sister.  Do you think that Kenyans don't have issues with their women?  Of course they do.  But at least these three Kenyan men knew one thing -- you do not disrespect the women in the ethnic group that God placed you in to outsiders

@MzDarkSkin I am so glad you said that. I am not Jamaican and I agree with you.

This might be off topic BUT I love my naija boy and I embrace his culture, because I like practice something called common decency. Why date this Nigerian man if you have not respect for females from his country? He has a mother, and if not a sister, many female relatives, I find it disrespectful for females to bring each other down like that.

**Focus on the love in your relationship and stop stirring hate.

ROSSIKE:

In general, Nigerian men are just as attracted to Nigerian women as they are to Caribbean women.

^^^ I disagree. Drop a naija bro in Jamaica and he will surely run after dem hot Jamaican chics. 99.9% of
naija guys secretely wish they had the chance to date/marry half-castes or Carribbean girls or
latinas. Havnt u noticed this trend wen Naija guys find themselves abroad?

@ Mzdarkskin; So u r From Jamaica,eh? Nice.

MzD@rkSkin:

No my mother is. I am only half. Jamaican women are no different from other women to be honest.

Love is not obsession,  this "ga-ga" thing sounds so  ,  and this is not in offense to anyone, BUT the same ones that are going gaga turn out to be the ones to bash them in the end if they are not what they expect. If anything is important, love them for who they are and not where they are from.

MzD@rkSkin:

^^and as you saw according to the replies, everyone else begs to differ. Not that there is anything wrong with Nigerian men but we don't go "ga ga" over them. I more so lust after Ghanaian men
