I recently came across an issue, not my personal issue, but an issue concerning someone I know and a dilemma that consisted of race. Her eye candy just so happens to be White and she is a stunning gorgeous woman of African decent. Now, her dilemma consist of his friends and family not accepting her due to her race. This "couple" have basically been in secret for about five months now. He genuinely cares for her and she for him. As I mentioned, their biggest obstacle is his family and friends. She came to me asking me my input on the dilemma and what my thoughts were. I explained to her and told her that if he is not man enough to come out and express how he feels about her to his family and friends then he is not a man. That she is too good to be kept in the shadows and that these individuals are biggots. I explained that if the family is already judging her from the start without knowing you, then her relationship with him is ruined from the start.
It amazes me, that even in this day and age certain people are against interracial relationships. It is 2010 people, soon to be 2011. You would think that there would be some type of acceptance at this point. Everyone has their preferences and is able to choose who they feel they should be with. Interracial relationships are beautiful... don't you think?
If you were in this situation how would you handle it?
funny reading this because this was a situation was was in not that long ago and to a certain degree still feel as though i deal with it to an extent even in my current relationship....the last situation i left alone because just like u said ty its nothing but judgement from the start weather it is verbally expressed or not. its a darn shame. in my current one the judgment comes from people that arent that important so they get ignored constantly....but it is def a bad situation to put urself in if it is his immediate family and friends that surround him daily
