Why We Do What We Do

Why do we do what we do?
Why do we ask a question, if we already know the answer? Why do we get involved with people we already know in the end, may hurt us, what is it that attracts us to these types of people? Why do we feel the need to put ourselves in a position that could hurt us?

Ive been there, and its not the best feeling, at the time it feels right, but that's what temptation feels like. Right, and wrong. We know it shouldn't happen, but we do it because it feels good...Ya know you've been there.
Short and sweet

I love how it is okay for a Black man to date a woman outside of his race, but when it comes to a Black woman dating outside of her race, the world turns upside down, and we act as if we are losing our heads. Why does it matter if I date a white man, Asian man, Latin, Hispanic, British, what does it matter? I am not waiting for a Black man, any to come to his senses. If someone finds me attractive, that is because God put us together. Brothers do not have a right to be upset if they see their sistah's dating a white guy. Honestly, I could care less what his color is, it's his heart, mind and soul that I am interested in. If we get along great, have a lot in common, and he treats me like I am the only woman that matters, why should I let him go? Because he isn't Black? That is absolute foolishness, and you need to get over yourselves. Do not act insulted when you see a sistah hanging with a white guy. If he loves her, he loves her, you love someone, let her find her happiness. There are brothers out there, but the problem is that they either do not know what they want, they claim that us Black women want too much, (a good man isn't asking for much, but we want to be taken care of like our fathers cared for us, why settle for less?) My dad, no matter what the cost, circumstance or situation, he would always provide because that's what his job was. Even as we get older, he will still care for us regardless if we live with him or not.

The link that I posted above is about Black women dating outside their race. I normally would pass this up, but I would like to know why it matters if we date outside or not when men have been doing it for years? Not just Black men either, White men dating non white girls, Asian's dating non Asian's, somehow, Black women are still a target in this world, for reasons that should not even matter.
Why can't we just live our lives?
