Interracial dating in Chicago

[karmacoma.]

Lincoln Park isn't really the place for any kind of IR.

Try the Bucktown/Wicker Park area, it's a lot less yuppified and more progressive. I see peeps there in all combinations.

All the gunplay and bullshit is wayyyyyyyy on the South Side.

Of course it's all about your image and how you look as well.

Torque,
In my personal opinion; (and I could be wrong)....that attitude is due, among other things, to the out of control criminal element in your city. The high visibility gun crimes perpetrated by young brothers in that city has probably set us back 25 years.......It gives credence to the notion that to date a Blackman is a risky and wreckless choice....and that even in the black on black crime levels, conclusions illustrate that we have become too barbaric and savage......The tactical thinking among city leaders is probably: "Just keep'em contained and let them kill one-another".............As a black man, with your desires, living in that city, the odds are too highly stacked against you. The task of you selling your personal decency as opposed to what your city white women see, hear and read might be too much. If you can't find Bookworm, you might have to give-up on finding a honey in Chicago.

This.

Thanks for the mention guys. ;-)

1. The Chi aint IR friendly. Some of the places that are mentioned are very upscale & preppy area, you are not going to see that much of IR in those areas. I am not saying you dont see BM with decent WW in chi, I have seen IR couple in Chi but not as much as ppl are making it to be.

2. I agree the Burbs are way to go. More IR scene outside of chicago than chicago. Chicago is the most segregated American city in the midwest.

3. I agree with Fresh, Oakpark is the place to be, and lots of IR coupling there, quite a few decent looking educated IR coupls are out there.

4. I agree that Chicago has lots of beautiful bombshell chics with big tits and firm ass but most are not into bruhs. Most of these hot chics that you see by wrigley field, wicker park, etc... are post college babes from Iowa, Michigan, wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio etc, who migrated to the Chi to enjoy the lifestyle....Chicago is like the LA of the midwest and these chics come by dozen but most stick to their kind.

5. I agree that gay neighborhoods are IR friendly, but I disagree with the notion that homesexuals symphatize with blk struggle. I have met the most racist gay bastards in my fucken life, so life aint as simple as all minority stick together crap.

I'm in the burbs!

I see IR couples quite a bit where I live. In fact, even my daughter noticed it. :smt023

This gets said alot.

But it also has a couple of the most diverse neighborhoods in the entire nation, according to census info.

There's always Hyde Park. Not a very hip area, no night-scene to speak of, but more interracial couples and biracial families per block than anywhere else in the continental US, last I checked.

Your 4th point is on the mark. There are so many gorgeous blondes with big natural tits, flat toned stomachs, and rocking bodies. Oak street and north avenue beaches during the summer are insane. But yeah, they're mostly midwestern chicks who went to big 10 schools and moved to chicago with their college friends. They just want to stick with the typical white frat boys.

I have heard stories that the mob in old Chicago liked interracial clubs and that both sides black and white intermingled freely back then. Any truth to this one?

None whatsoever.

The outfit was and is very racist.

Thanks. I do know that in the Sopranos television show the Jewish mobster they portrayed as having interracial relationships with black women was based on a supposed true story of mobster Dutch Shultz and a black madam in Harlem, New York. Different place I know but I have heard that such relationships were common especially with Jewish mobster more so than Irish and Italians.

You're joking right? Just because a couple of mobsters had black jump offs doesn't mean that they, as a group, have had any particular affinity for IR or black people.

I live in Chicago and work in the heart of downtown and have noticed the city becoming quite a bit more liberal and open when it comes to interracial dating.

Not just BM and WW either, but an HUGE increase in WM with BM, and other combinations. I think that our city may not be completely over the race idea, but we're getting there, I mean we did send the first "Black" president to the white house from Chicago. (Obviously that opinion is subjective)

City is opening its mind a bit more.


Oh, and oddly enough, Chicago is among the MOST diverse cities in the United States of America currently, however it is one of the most segregated, meaning, the polish, Jews, African blacks, american blacks, Chinese, Korean etc etc have their own neighborhoods, its really quite bizarre.

I agree very much, we are all in line with our opinion and I think lil hawk is very right.

Hmm, I'm kinda puzzled on this as I think both sides have made some pretty accurate points, in my opinion. I've been visiting Chicago for so long now that it's like another home for me, my brother and his wife live on the North Shore (Lake Forest to be exact). His neighborhood isn't very diverse at all; LF is 95% white and in his exact neighborhood, his and a military friend is the only BM/WW family i've seen in quite some time. However, in these mostly white North Shore suburbs like Evanston, Lake Forest, Lake Bluffs, Wilmette as well as some Cook County suburbs like Orland Park, Oak Bluffs, Hickory Hills and Palos Hills, the amount of interracial dating - and this includes mixes of all kinds, not just black men and white women - is in larger proportion to municipalities. The irony of the matter that Chicago is on par with New York City with its ethnic and cultural diversity, with nationalities of virtually every nation on this earth resident in the Windy City. Yet, as pointed out by previous posters, it is one of the most segregated cities in the United States, perhaps even in North America. In my opinion, it is tied with Philadelphia and Los Angeles for being the most segregated city in the United States. There is almost no integration of the neighborhoods, despite its front place role in the battles over civil rights. Black walk one way, whites walk another, and "the rest" prefer their own thing. It seems the only time when blacks and whites bump heads (or bodies?) is when they happen to ride the "L". Otherwise, it's a doggone seperate life within an entire world city.

Nonetheless, in a few cities within the city limits like Jackson Park, Kenwood, Hyde Park, Lilydale and Westridge, there is a significant IR presence. It's not exactly Montclair, NJ out there, but you should find your pick in women of all races. Lincoln Park isn't as bad IMO, but the WW i see around there are usually into the corporate type of black men.

Just my two cents, i may be wrong or right, but that's what I've gathered from my experience. artyman:

The areas you mentioned first, I wouldn't really look to for much diversity. You start going to North and....who knows what you get lol...pretty soon you'll be in Cheese Head Land (which is a no-no lol). I defeinitly agree with the last part.

If you read my post again, you will see I said exactly that. These suburbs are very white, you would not even find a black fingernail. My brother's area (Lake Forest) is so white that when they see the two of us in a car, his neighbors get fits. But, the proportion of interracial couples of all kind is relatively high for a vicinity with low diversity. I definitely agree though, anything further north and you're in Wis-caaan-sen lol.

Not sure how many brothas on this forum live in Chicago. But my experience here has been very negative with regards to interracial. I live in Lincoln Park, a very nice neighborhood that is mostly post-college white professionals. The bars are full of hot midwestern white women: blonde, blue eyed, big tits, banging bodies. Unfortunately, they're not open to black guys. Quite a few of them told me straight up that they don't date or mess around with black dudes, and walking around the city I very rarely see interracial couples.

Chicago is sounding like the place not to be!!!

Don't believe all of it. Everyone has different experiences. I live in the burbs of Chicago and I see Interracial couples ALL OVER.

As with any city, there are pockets where people stick to their own, Chicago is not unique in that aspect.

Chicago is just like any other major city.

Most of the people that move to the Chicago area really fall into two categories: (1) educated professionals or (2) immigrants. Income disparity issues are a large factor as to why self-segregation occurs.
