Re: Love in Black and White Written by KEVIN10134, on 04-01-2001 06:17 Blackluv,    It is a shame that you think that you black men are dating white women becasue they feel rejected by black women. I, however, am not maried to a white woman becuase I was rejected by a black, but because I fell in love with her as a person. I dated all kinds of women before marriage, I didn't care which race they were from. i chose the one that I had the most in common with. The one who was the most fun to be with, who had similar goals and outlook on life. We both shared the same politics, same religious values, same educational background, same ideas about raising children, same committment to helping the poor, disenfranchised. I dated black women, who were nice, had same racial background, different religious background, wasn't interested in the same cultural activities, social activities, different socio-economic class. We didn't click. She was a nice person, but I couldn't marry her, becuase we were so different. Just because people have the same racial background doesn't mean that they share similar real life issues. Sure you can talk about what it is like to be black in America; and they have the same empathy. But, on where you live, who your friends are, what you family traditions are, what social events and what political things you support. We as blacks are not monolithic, we are not all the same--as we have seen with people like Colin Powell and Condilezza Rice compared to Jessie Jackson and Loius Farrankhan.  If you don't like Interracial relationships, that is your right, but you don't have the right to control who other people love.
