Trying to understand
Hello, I am new to this thread and it looks as though it is a powerful one! I just wanted to add my opinon. The thread said "interracial dating"... doesn't that mean anyone of any race? I didn't have the time to look at all of the responses, there are so many, but I don't feel there is anything wrong with finding love within another culture. Slavery has in my opinion warped so many things within us as african americans. Racisim has cause us to be suspicious and cold. I am judging, nor stating that this applies to everyone. I feel that love and friendship can come in many different colors and so can love. It is a shame that two people who genuinely find love in another race is called a traiter, or a hater of there own. Or thier children have to be teased or looked down upon. This country has truely blinded individuals due to ignorance of a few that started this mess, back in slavery and for we know it, before that when the Europeans were conquering other countries. Doesn't awareness start with knowledge, and awarness cause one to change their way of thinking? I know it is not an easy task, but it would be nice if we could just love.. lol. I know ya'll gonna blaze me for this one. Its just how I feel. Maybe it won't ever happen? Hopefully the world will change enough so that it will?
Just my feelings
