I did I moved up to Toronto now sold my place in Miami last year.. Still have Florida plates on my cars though
We been together almost 10 years. I should be good...but you never know I guess.
Average rent for a 1bdrm in Toronto hits 2300 a month.
Not true. You can find a 1 bed downtown for less than that. Hell I have a 1 bed going for less than that heart of downtown.
I think it balances out though, you can’t be mad at one group for dating white while the other dates white/other just as much. Most dudes criticizing date white too.I don’t see why it’s shocking that the women would also.
Seems like dudes want the dating dynamics of the US where Black women mostly do not with foreign men while black men marry/date out at double their rate and want to brag about their desirability which is f’d up.
I don’t think that’s unique to Toronto, young black professionals in Metropolitan areas marry/date out at high rates and take pride in it too.
And most of these girls being posted are mixed race anyway ...I don’t get the outrage.

Aren’t black women outnumbering the men in professional jobs?
I don’t entirely blame Africans though, West Indians have some really bad relationship dynamics and there is a higher tolerance of debauchery and screwed up family dynamics . People should be judged based on individual character but some people have to recognize that they are toxic aspect of their culture that gives them a bad rep when it comes to relationships.
From what I have observed Jamaican/West Indians have the same bad rep in Toronto that AADOS have in the US when it comes to how they navigate relationships and some of that rep is rightfully earned.
I completely agree with you. I don’t think IR is a win in the grand scheme of things for upwardly mobile black people men or women in the long run cause it will just create a buffer class and maintain whites on top while doing nothing for black people collectively. The issue becomes when one genders wants to hold the other to a standard they barely if ever hold themselves to, which creates these cyclical arguments in the first place.
To add to this...I don’t hear enough black professionals who WANT to find equally yoked black partners setting something up to address this issue. Everyone complains no one tries to be the answer to the problem. Pointing to interracial daters is just frankly a cheap shot cause clearly they don’t care. And shaming black people doesn’t work in this instance cause you have to have something to leverage for it to work. Also, it’s a numbers game at that stage it’s easier to go white than finding a black partner because a lot of black professionals began to have special snowflake syndrome due to sheer number imbalance.
Naw, Black men have always been called out for IR dating, especially when they date fat white women. It would get a pass because of the "Angry Black Woman" dynamics. The landscape is different now.
And "black professionals" is an empty term. Very few black people in Top level positions or running successful businesses. We are all lower to middle class, even the ones making 6 figures. But to answer your second part, Shaming works. If there is no pressure people will continue going down this path.

chik fil a opening next week 
Shaming doesn’t work when the people doing the shaming don’t have something better to offer. Where are the suburban black communities, the business communuty that caters to black people. Black Events that doesn’t consist solely of entertainment/music/clubbing. Rarely do I see family oriented events with black families with their kids mingling outside of just church. All these things considered and more is why people will continue to IR date at astronomical numbers at those levels because they feel they gain more than they lose. Simple.
Black professional is just a relative term, I am well aware that what black people consider top class is much lower in respect to other groups given what you have pointed out. But in black circles these people are often considered upper middle class.
