Is the Ultimate Reason Why Many Black Men Resist Black Women and White Men Interracial Relationships is Really Rooted in Fear?

With as widespread as interracial relationships have become in our society today, they're still regularly met with prejudicial resistance by many people. With all the possible racial compilations for such relationships, it seems that those comprised of black women and white men (Bw/Wm) are met with the most societal resistance. Many times when I've asked why that is, I'm often faced with the feeling that many people, particularly black women, aren't comfortable with opining their deepest and truest thoughts.

One particular point of resistance that many Bw/Wm couples face is from many black men. But trying to produce definitive reasons for many black men's resistance seems strikingly challenging. When I personally ask black men why they feel such resistance exists, I'm told the basic culprit is jealousy. But my conversations with black women typically yield much different results.

Though I don't particularly like the idea of one gender speaking for the other, I think it's unfair to invalidate black women's feelings as they're opining their views on the resistance and/or hostility and abuse that many of them face from many black men. Some black women suggest that some black men are on a power trip and act as though they think black women are their property which removes a woman's freedom to date whomever she wishes. Other black women report that some black men say that black women are traitors for dating white men. Sometimes the concept of race preservation is brought to point which causes some black women to feel as though black men are trying to make them feel guilty for abandoning their race.

From what I've seen, there seems to be a great deal of resentment between many black men and women. Many black men suggest that it's ok for them to date white women while at the same time, suggesting that it's not ok at all for black women to date white men. This results in many black women feeling that such black men are complete hypocrites with blatant double standards.
