@Tabludama,
A white parent has many more things to be concerned about besides an increased risk of domestic violence if his daughter enters into an interracial relationship with a black man.
Let us count the ways:
Young black males are the most violent demographic of them all.
Black males between 15 and 60 years old, comprising 3.2 percent of the population of the USA, commit over 50 percent of the murders in the USA, year after year.
A United States Department of Justice report which surveyed homicide statistics between 1974 and 2004 stated that of the crimes surveyed, 52.2% of the offenders were Black, 45.8% were White, and 2% were Other Races.

Young black males are ten times more violent on average than young white males:
Homicide Offending Rates per 100,000 Population by Age, Race and Gender

Although that rate is declining:
The CDC report titled say that homicide is the leading cause of death among black men aged 15-34 years
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr56/nvsr56_05.pdf
Table 36
Among both black and white men, homicide deaths peak at aged 25-34. The death rate by homicide among white men in this age group is 12.5 per 100k, and accounts for 10% of all premature deaths. The death rate by homicide among blacks in this age group is 101.8 per 100k, and accounts for 48% of all premature deaths.
Black males are 6 times more likely to go to prison than white males:

Nationwide ,only 50 percent of black males graduate from High School with the graduation rate under 30 percent in some urban areas.

Quote:Crisis Affecting African-American Males: According to a 2006 New York Times article by Erik Eckholm, the problems affecting many African-American males have become an epidemic. Eckholm states that about one-third of black males are either awaiting trial, in jail or prison, or on probation or parole. In their lifetime, nearly one-third of black males will spend some time in jail or prison. Black males are more likely to drop out of high school, be placed in special education classes and be suspended or expelled, but less likely to be placed in gifted and talented classes. More than 50 percent of black males in inner-city schools do not graduate from high school.

In 1998, Salber and Taliaferro reported that the spousal homicide rate among African Americans is 8.4 times more than for whites. The incidence of spousal homicide is 7.7 times higher in interracial marriages compared to intraracial marriages.

“The National Black Women’s Health Project” has identified the battering of women as the number one health issue for African American women (Joseph, 1997).

According to the CDC,During 2001--2005, blacks had the largest percentage of HIV/AIDS diagnoses in all age groups and in high-risk heterosexual transmission categories (Table 1). Among men and women s with high-risk heterosexual contact, more than half were black (men: 53.8% and 65.7%, respectively; women: 58.8% and 69.5%, respectively).

Black men are acquiring new infections of the HIV virus at almost 6 times the rates of new infections in white men.
http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/aa/index.htm
The rate of HIV infection in black is almost ten timesthe rate of HIV infection in white men.. Studies by the CDC also conclude that black men are more likely to have HIV or AIDS and go undiagnosed than white men.
Often black men to catch HIV/AIDS in prison and then give it to their female partners when they are released. The CDC believes that 74% of black women who have HIV/AIDS contracted it through heterosexual contact with a man.

Black fathers abandon their children at a alarming rate with 72 percent of all black children raised in single parent families.

A guilt tripping,white "liberal"parent who turns a blind eye to these realities in order to be "politically correct" and raises his daughter with his double standard and guilt trip on race, is leaving her defenseless and unaware to see any warning flags with a black man that she would see with a white man.
This white guilt may end up killing her.
As noted by this Harvard educated woman Sociologist:

Quote: Many white women put themselves in situations with black men that they would otherwise not enter if the men were white.They assume that their lack of trust in black men is racist when actually it may be quite appropriate.....
Some would allow themselves to talk with a black stranger and go off alone with him when they would not do that with a white man
Sorry "liberals". These "inconvenient truths" are real. These are metrics that any parent of a white daughter should be aware of and concerned about.
As I said before, it is the individuals involved in the relationship that is the bottom line. No doubt, many will be lasting loving relationships. Although many will not be.
Just look at these metrics. A white parent should be concerned over a daughter dating a black man. as was outlined in this thread, the same as if she was entering into a teenage marriage or marriage with a fundamentalist Moslem.
Not to say that many wont be successful.
Just be aware of the issues involved.
