Yes, you can date outside of our ethnicity and still support issues that are important to our ethnicity. The real problem is some who do choose that path act as if they now must whole cloth support the ethnicity they are dating, forswearing support for their own people's issues. If they can remember that they are Black, and the issues affecting Black people affect them, then I see no reason why they can't date or marry other and yet still be a great help in rectifying issues we as Black people consider important.
