I have a cousin who dates black men almost exclusively. I have often wondered if it is because some caucasian women want the commonality of someone who is 'one-down' culturally, they want someone with more depth than a caucasian guy who doesn't know what it is like to not be the 'chosen one' societally', that is US culture I am talking about, I don't know if you are American, I can't remember if it said so. I have had tons of crushes on African American women but I have come to accept that I am the invisible woman to them, I don't ever seem to have registered in their field of vision at all for whatever reason.
