The world today is not like the world many years ago, where black and white people were segregated, where if a black man even looked at a white woman he was beaten. Now, the world is mixed. Even 50 years ago, black and white men and women were getting together, realizing that race has nothing to do with love. Many white people still look at it as a horrible thing but those who are in love with the black race simply look past it.
My boyfriend and I are an interracial relationship. I've never encountered a situation where I've received mean looks, mean words or even asked questions about our relationship. My boyfriend does say things to ourselves that people are saying things like "That nigga, taking our women" and "Why can't he be with his own color?" I know he's kidding but I know that people really do look at us that way. Like when we were once at the subway on Edgewood road in line to get our sub and there was a table of 4 white men eating. We caught their eye as soon as we walked in the door and it seemed they couldn't take their eyes off of us. My boyfriend started saying the things he does and I could tell that's exactly what those men were thinking.
With my thoughts in mind, what do you think about interracial relationships? Are you currently in the same situation in which you and your lover think the same thoughts? What do you think we should do if we are ever met with someone who doesn't hold things back and says something to us? Please give me your thoughts and advice.
