Food for thought

Food for thought If for some reason you are or have entertained the thought of dating a black woman or any woman out of your race, consider the following things: your family, are they going to blow a gasket if you date out of your race? your friends: will they give you "good" advice even though you didn't ask for it and they will tell you things "for your own good"? it's so painful to realize we are still living in the dark ages, that we can not be free to date whom we choose without the family and friends raking you over the coals. I am glad I have such wonderful friends in real time and online that keep me in good spirits and keep the past in the past some what and look at all aspects of life good or bad |

my family and friends are pretty open minded. I don't care about the opinions of people who are not

You can't dwell on other people's prejudices, just ensure that they are a minimum in your own life (I really have a problem dealing with stupid people!). If the special person in your life has a different background, so what?

Some of us have friends and/or family members who are in mixed race relationships. So I'm sure if I can accept them, then they should accept me if I enter into such a relationship. Please don't let me be misunderstood.

I confronted this reality, back i the 1970's, when I was 16 years-old. I lived in my parents home, but worked full-time while going to high school, and dated a co-worker at the hospital that I worked in. I became very fond of her, and we had a wonderful relationship. I never really considered discussing my personal life and choices of whom I chose to socialize with anyone else--because it's none of their business. Of course, I ran into the exact issues you have mentioned, above. When it came down to dealing with the objections of family and friends, I quietly got my own apartment and left home, and cut-off all relationship with both family, and those friends who were too closed-minded to regard all people as they regard themselves. Eventually, my family reached out to me and made genuine reconciliation with me, and they actually grew into better human beings in this respect. Some former friends, remain former friends, and I feel absolutely no loss because of that--they were either never true friends to begin with, or I my judgment was sufficiently flawed as to allow somebody who is of poor moral character to enjoy fellowship with me. I don't make those kinds of mistakes any longer, and refuse to call "friend" anyone who isn't color blind. Yes, more than a few jobs have been lost, over the years, because of my refusal to discard people because of the color of the paper they came wrapped-in; and I have always fared better in that I remain comfortable with who I am. I still don't understand racists in the least...they are the most alien sort of creature on the face of the planet, and I fail to understand how they can live with themselves. अवलोकितेश्वर

I think that, as a country, we've come a long way since I was a child, growing up in the 50's and 60's. Seeing an interracial couple back then was rare. Today, most people don't care, or, if they do, they don't voice it. I think that's pretty good progress, and, the more people see interracial couples, the more and more acceptable and "normal" it will be. Personally, I don't care what race someone is, although I will admit to enjoying the contrast of my skin against that of darker women from time to time. Mrs. WM4FUN is Asian. Definitely different, culturally. But, we learned about one another, and still learn. All that really matters is that we love, respect, and work please one another (and I don't mean just sexually). Making the "other" happy is what makes it all work. I've found, over the years, while loving and playing with women of all races, shapes, sizes, etc., that what really matters to me is her smile, how her eyes look at me, and yes, sometimes whatever I'm "craving" at that given point in time. It's all good.....
