Season 4, Episode 2 “Interracial Dating As A BGM” part 2


Interracial dating within the black gay community is always a topic of discussion when BGM become more recognized in society and or when BGM are tired and irritated of each other. Let discuss the impact this topic has on our perspectives when discussing the subject.

  1. Good topic. I grew up in a black church in a mainly white neighborhood. My best friend is black and is gay. We’re together always from junior through college. He dated black and Latino men. Most of my partners when I was younger were white. Never felt fetishized but don’t forget that fetishes is a two way street. I’ve been in interracial relationship for 30 years. We do have a lot in common but our differences didn’t pull us apart, rather makes it more interesting for me. I for one like learning other cultures and from that I have a better understanding of other people. We’re not taught every culture in school and most don’t know other folks in their own neighborhoods. We shouldn’t look down on questions because we don’t everything about everyone. Our relationship has worked with the support of both families. Both sides are family oriented which in a relationship makes it that more special.

  2. You relay a story to anyone and they may or may not understand or relate to the story because they weren’t there and preoccupied with their anxieties or personal drama. Not all people of any race relate one another better simply because they have the same color of skin

  3. I applaud the desire to talk about this topic.

    But you guys have to learn the definition of “anecdotal information”

    It’s actually a bit harmful to suggest that every black man who does X is Y.

    You’re stealing the individual in favor for grouping people as one thing

    You’d hate it if a straight person said “all black people are thugs” or “all gay men are weak”

    But then you turn around and say “all black men who have dated outside their race are looking for a come up or not pro-black”

  4. I wasn’t gonna comment but I was like why not! Why are “BLACK PEOPLE” so obsessed with white or non black people and interracial dating ? As a mixed person myself I understand to a point but I’ve NEVER seen any other ethnic group starving and debating to date out of their own ethnic group like black people especially men gay or straight damn slavery must have done a toll on you people I’m speaking also as a European person from a country way more racial than America love yourselves!!!

  5. Hi I love ur platform, I am gay , a bottom and I am into white guys I love them when they are slim , their body is so delicious to me , I do prefer a white guy like that , but by frist gay experience was with a slim black dude but to me a white dude is better on commitment and know how to get in with me as I get into him in our relationship

  6. Just within the 1st few minutes I can already see there is already misinformation surrounding Nationality, race, and ethnicity.

    "Black" as a racial term denotes a person with sub Saharan African roots. This means a Dominican that is not mixed and is dark skinned with kinky hair and African features is Black. So if an African American were to date this fiction iona person it would not be interracial.

    The difference here between the Africa American and this Dominican are ethnicity (genetic makeup ) and Nationality (country they were born in + culture).

    So I'm going to watch for a few more minutes to see if you all get it together…

    It's not that hard. Also I disagree with the whole "whatever you identify as agrument." A person that is hispanic like JLo is not Black but Amara La Negra is….there's a difference. If a JLo comes up to me saying she's and Afro Latina or she's Black…it's over for me im not taking anything you say seriously.

    Edit: im at the 30 minute mark and the convo definitely took a more interesting turn. However, fetishization I feel like is not always cut and dry. Someone expressing interest in another person based on their "exotic" facial features or skin tone can be just that, admiration for someone who you aren't used to seeing or just looks visually interesting. There is certain language that a person can use to indicate sole sexual gratification based on racial phenotype but until thats is explicitly said than it's just admiration. I feel like that's how the guy on the left sees it. I think we have to ask ourselves if I was another race would this person be as sexually attracted to me? What is the root of their attraction to me? Is it only sexually? Those answers reveal intent and is its actual fetishization.
