This term gets misused often. Not dating outside your race doesn't mean you're "pro black." That's just your dating preference. So what is being pro black? Is doing one hour of community service in your hood make you pro black? When you at the store and wait in line for the black cashier instead of the white one, is that pro black? What is "pro black" ? If I'm hurt and call 911, do I tell them "please only bring a black ambulance :noah:" is that pro black? What is pro black? If I spend my money at a black owned business, but still pay for gas at a regular gas station, pay rent and electric to these white agencies/companies, is that pro black? What is pro black? If a white man signs your paychecks, how can you still be considered pro black? What is pro black?
Has no meaning today. The new term is Black First.

I said this in a previous thread from earlier today:

"Economic growth, activism, being involved in the black community, creating a black family unit and etc. You cannot create a Black family unit if your own family isn't even Black."

Creating a black family unit has nothing to do with being pro black, because it does not benefit the black community, unless this family unit establishes a business that employs and creates Economic Opportunity for other black people.

A black family unit cannot be Pro black if every dollar they spend are going to White owned establishments, which most black family units fall under that category. It means nothing if you're not donating to black causes, and taking action that helps the black community progress as a whole.

You're reading capacity is way off regarding what I said

Being pro-black is living your life to advocate for the advancement of Black people on multiple fronts.

People can do pro-black things and even pro-equality things that also benefit blacks, but that doesnt necessarily make you pro-black.

Dating outside your race as an action, isnt pro-black because you arent creating q black family and you now become compromised because you have to consider and try not to offend your non-black spouse/family and mixed race children. In that case, it is better to call yourself a proponent of multiculturalism and equality among the human race or pro-self.
