panafrica said:Interesting responses so far! As an addendum to the original question I should also ask: Do some people feel black love is unrealistic or difficult to obtain? Can black love only exist under certain conditions? Is it something black people actually want, or do they only take it when no other options are available?
I think love in general is difficult to obtain. I think for black people to be genuinely in love, they'd have to both see that black people are in a really tough position in this world. That way, when issues arise in the marriage, they'll be dealt with accordingly and not according to what the television tells you how to deal with situations. I don't think it's unrealistic, but I do think most of us will never experience real black love. It may be some kind of black love that may be experienced, but I don't think it will be the love that most people wish for. Unconditional and sincere love is very rare. I think most black people want to be with another black person, and I also think many black people settle for another race because they don't think their race can deliver.
