What places could see the rise of white women-black men relationships early on?

Typically when someone says "you should be reading this.", they offer something to read. And even if you did, it wouldn't be accurate to the statement I was making.

Because as far as I'm aware of Pre-Roman North Africa, coastal communities were predominantly dominated by Greek and Phoenician populations. That's a historical fact about a period of history that predates modern definitions of "white" and "black".

OP clearly wasn't asking for a detailed breakdown of genetic mixing, which you yourself know because you responded to with the colonial black population of the United States as an example.

Depends on the coast and contextualizing the notion of blackness throughout the region by time, place and people.

Roman records speak of a Melanogaetulians population of the coast that were a subset of gaetulian populations. That of course is an exonym I doubt they say themselves as completely distinct but the are a few other mentions of dark skin coastal dwellers.

From what I can tell online, these people were denizens of what is Wadreag, Algeria and at times known as the Province of Constantine. Back then the predominant city of the region was Siwa, founded by the Phoenicians. It was later conquered by the Numidian king Syphax and made his capital, renamed Cirta. Cirta was then conquered by the Romans from the Numidian king Jugurtha.

However, there's some confusion as to if Wadreag was a location or a tribe, as an alternate source indicates that the Wadreag are Berber denizens of Tuggart/Touggourt district in inland Algeria's Ourgala province. It could be very likely that the Numidians and Gaetulians migrated to the coast of Constantine after Syphax aligned with Rome, before retreating inland following the Roman wars with Jugurtha.
 
Um, Britain? A few years ago I found an excellent book called Blackamoores. It is a history of Africans in early modern England. Fascinating stuff, especially in that it makes liberal use of primary sources, particularly parish records (literally, references to "John, a moore", or "George, a blacke man") to talk about how many black people there were, where they were in the country (concentrated not just in London, but in the southwest, for some reason, if I recall correctly?) and to the extent possible, what they did and what their lives were like. Of course, because the records focused on births and marriages, they found extensive mentions of interracial marriages.
 
It's the notion that black men are hypersexual and is a sexual racial sterotype that's gross as fuck.
Well it's also perplexing how OP acts like he knows what people's fetishes in the past were without really any actual reasoning behind such opinions, really.

There wasa very interesting article about that very notion, and the notion of skin colour in Homer, it's a great read
 
African Romance language and catholic Mauri state survives I could see marriages between North Africans and iberians being very common if it’s strategic
 
and ladies knew that black men were the epitome of virility... it would take quite some inhibition to resist that temptation.
Is this the epitome of the irresistible temptation?

You’ve been warned and kicked before for weird sexual threads. I can only assume you’re trolling for a reaction when you post stuff like this.
