Interracial Kisses

I DESPISE how society has put interracial love in a dirty bucket.  Just like all else that relates to having blacks and whites mingle, it is shunned only by some and praised by others.  I am all for interracial relationships, as far as my parents go, a non black man wouldn’t be their first choice for me.  My father is all about  black uplift and being the best person—black person you can be.  I have dated outside of my race and I can’t deny that my mother was pretty upset, but his mother was livid.  He was kicked out of their house because he wouldn’t stop dating me. I overheard his mother on the phone one day while I was talking to him.  I remember her saying if he didn’t hang up on that trash then it would get ugly because how dare he date a nigga. Heartbreaking to me, a freshman, this was my first direct encounter to racism.  We broke up and we are still friends, but all I could do was pray for his mother because people like her don’t last very long in the sense of having a good life.

A question was posed in class today about why don’t black women get as upset about two black men being together as opposed to a black man getting with a white woman… I feel that as long as the reason they are together is love and not necessarily due to hatred or negative feeling towards the black woman, then by all means do what you want to because like everything else in life, it’s a choice. As long as its best for you then JUST DO IT as Nike says.  I live and will die by that because I have always done what was best for ME.  NO ONE will love or care about you as much as you can for yourself. I hate how recently I ‘ve been judged because I put myself and my future before others, I hate that bridges have been burned, but hey forgive and forget as God wants us to. 

I’ll continue l8r loves,
