Is it possible for a man to love a woman and care nothing about his own mother? If he can't help her out when she needs it, will he be able to help me? And my second question is: Why do most black atheletes turn to white women instead of their own race? I'm not prejudice, but all women are not money hungry.

I don't know anything about black male athletes b/c I'm not black, male, or an athlete, but I think I can help you out with your other question. I think a man can love a woman even if he doesn't love his own mother. First of all, the way a man loves his mother and his lover are obviously totally different, and maybe the reason he doesn't love his mother isn't just because he can't love women in general. There may be an issue, maybe something that happened in his childhood, that caused him to lose respect for his mom or drove him to not love her. I think everyone should love their mom, I see you do too, but maybe we haven't been exposed to something that perhaps he was exposed to. If I were trying to get into a relationship with a man who didn't care for his mother, I'd try to find out why, and try to change his mind, but it wouldn't stop me from pursuing a relationship with him. He can love you in a totally different way than his mom. I hope I've helped! Good Luck to you!
