Note: The following may offend some readers. My aim is to be truthful rather than politically correct. The view I express is my own (very male) point of view. If you prefer received doctrine on his subject, I refer you to the Wikipedia.
White women come from Europe, the Middle East, parts of India and regions nearby. Since 1500 many can be found in North and South America, Australia and southern Africa.
The sort I am thinking of live in North America and look as if they are pure European by blood, even though some are from the Middle East, like Paula Abdul, or are part Asian, like Yasmeen Ghauri and Ann Curry. More than a tenth of white women in America and most of those in Brazil are part African – they just do not look it. You can be one-eighth African and still pass for white in America.
In most of the world women have black hair and brown eyes. So do a lot of white women, but many do not.
Their natural hair can be black, brown, red or yellow. It is not woolly like African hair nor straight as a pin like East Asian hair, but somewhere in between.
Their skin is between fair and olive. Some have freckles – small spots of brown on their face and shoulders. That comes from the Celts. The freckles become more noticeable in the summer. The summer sun turns most white women light brown if they are outside enough.
Because of their fair skin, their lips can look redder.
Their noses are often long and thin, sometimes pointed.
Their eyes are the most incredible part: most are brown, but some are blue, green or something in between called hazel. Their eyes are rounder and their cheekbones lower.
They have a fuller figure than East Asian women but less of one than African women.
Many think of white women as having yellow hair and blue eyes because that is what sets them apart. But most have naturally brown hair and brown eyes. Many colour their hair. Look at their men to compare.
White men, at least in North America since 1950, seem to like thin white women with large breasts. They do not seem to care that much if a woman is flat in the back.
Many black men in America think white women are easier to get along with than black women. That is true in a way. Where black women seem to ask themselves “Am I being stepped on?”, white women wonder, “Do people like me?”
In some cases this sort of pleasing-others thinking is admirable, almost saintly. But too often it leads to a certain falseness. You do not seem to be talking to a real person; you do not know their true feelings. There is the outer person that is pleasing, of course, but then there is an inner person that is hidden.

It’s a matter of having a backbone. I was raised in an African family by a single mother. Self-sufficiency was key and the second I left home, I stopped cooking and doing the domestic stuff I’d been doing since 2nd grade. Wesley Snipes made some comment about black women, saying that if you tell one to get you some water, she’ll respond “slavery is over.” 1) Slavery is over, 2) your legs are not broken and 3) I’ve yet to meet a white woman who will be a doormat. Most of my friends are women of color (African, West-Indian, Black Latinas, African-American, East Asian and Southeast Asian). Of the children of immigrants, they will do all that stuff with their older relatives because that’s what a good daughter is expected to do but the wonderful thing is that when you go to your own apartment or house, you’re no one’s doormat.

the inner person isnt hidden if that person gets joy from helping others (note I dont mean pleasing others but helping others).
You can tell a real or geniune person who loves to give to other person from a person who does it as a way of sucking up or self service. Sugar and Equal sweetner (side by side) can be easily identified..one is real, organic and natural…the other leaves a bad chemical taste in your mouth.
I love to help, I get joy from cooking for my husband and bringing him his drink. On the weekends i always makes sure the house smells like baked goods (cookies, brownies, banana bread) when he comes home from work. I am an assistant as a profession and love it.
It shocks me when I hear that a women would say to her husband that slavery is over when he asks for some water. But then – my husband does things for me out of love as well (its a two way street). He always buys strawberries even though I am the only one who eats them…He lays out towels in the bathroom and starts the shower for me in the morning and I may cook dinner but he sets it all out and starts the meat in the marinade before I get home…I walk through the door and he hands me a glass of wine. We give to each other. I get his water, he brings me cookies.

and black women get along better with black men.
If you feel white women get along better why didn’t you marry one. Cause now you look like a hypocrite.
Your actions DO NOT MATCH WITH WHAT YOU SAY.

There is always some kind of reason as to why someone who is not black would come to a black blog whether it is to feed off of issues within the black community or just be nosy.
@ abagond i might be wrong with my observation but that is what i get when reading this entire blog.
What are you trying to gain from creating this racial blog????????

I’m really late to the party, but I have to say how women are can’t be separated from how men treat and approach them. Some men are chauvinists with an entitlement mentality, particularly a lot of black men. They believe women were put on this Earth to bow to their every whim and desire as if you were June Cleaver or a Stepford Wife. So absolutely, if any man comes to me with that attitude, he can expect attitude. Under those circumstances any woman – white, brown, blue or green – with self-respect will reply to “Get me some water,” if haughtily phrased by her man “Slavery is over.” I know I would. Luckily for me, my husband does not demonstrate that attitude and I am as happy to get him a glass of water or whatever if I am up and about as he is happy to do the same for me. Black men that feel their women are hard to get along with need to take a long, hard look in the mirror. Most women when treated with love and respect will love and respect their man. You can’t be a d*ck and then turn around and complain that your woman has an attitude.

“They do not seem to care that much if a woman is flat in the back.”
Why would we? A pretty face is way more important than a large posterior, since people spend way more time looking at their spouse’s face than at their backside.
Also, think about the genes your children will inherit. Would you rather have children with attractive facial features and small butts or ugly children with big butts? I want my sons to be handsome and my daughters to be beautiful. I don’t care about their butts. Why would a father want his children to have big butts?
