Color of Love: Celebs in Interracial Relationships

WTF2, Whites constitute the majority of the US population 73.94% broken down, here's only a few groups German American 16.8% Irish American 12.1%, English American 9.3% now included in this category are White Hispanics 8.11%. and others that will make up the caucasian american race. Maybe this will clarified what I'm mean when I say majority! No I'm not bent out of shape at all! You are right there are more bigger issues than this!

Toya - what I meant to say is that whites are "a" minority, not "the" minority world-wide. Both whites and blacks each make up around 14% of the world's population (for a total of around 28% between the two), while Asian dominate. Whites are not the majority globally. The point I was making is that if any race gets wiped out because IR, it will be whites. The reason is that mixed children are not considered white anymore as you know. But that aside, the races aren't going anywhere like I said. Why get bent out of shape about it. We need to focus on more serious issues.

I am a black american women and I am actually not attracted to black men on a whole so I prefer to date outside my race. I live in Ct. and up north most successful black men date non black women. Sorry, but I am over black men in general.

BP are ignorant...while you concern yourself with meaningless crap, others stay focused to build communities that stay strong and educated...then wind up using and abusing most of you like the fodder you are. In other communities this is not an issue and when it is, they usually disown and cast out their kin, unlike you who don't even like your own kind and would cast your own away for the acceptance of people who don't want you unless of course they are using you for something, and judging from these comments..you only offer a limited amount of things..lol

Like I mentioned earlier, people are just so sick and tired of the lack of creativness in Essence writing skills or topics. WHO CARES!! we know that folks are going to do what folks want to do it's the human nature!!

Hey WTF2, I totally disagree with you, the white race is the majority. It has always been. I don't know where you are getting your figures from, but there're not accurate.

Hey wtf, by the way, in modern times white people do not put a 3/5 value on blacks. Obama is a case in point. And if anyone's interested, back in the day it was the SOUTH who wanted blacks to count as a whole person and the NORTH wanted us to count as 3/5ths. Why? Simple: the north wanted to limit the south's representation in congress, and so they didn't want slaves to count as a full person - a state's population determines the number of representatives. If slaves would've counted as a full person, the south would have greater numbers in congress. For obvious reasons, the north did not want this, and therefore did not want to count slaves as a complete person. Good thing we DID only count as 3/5ths - if the south controlled congress, we might not be where we were at today. Think about it...

Hey wtf, this issue certainly is NOT bigger than those you mention. I'm not trying to say that. But look at the blogs here - there is a market for this $@#?! because of the obvious interest in it. If no one responded to these, then the articles would stop. That's all I'm saying. Publications can print what they want and when they want and we can ignore it, engage it, or whatever. The fact that is stirs up so much crap in these posts just proves that although it SHOULD be a non-issue, it is not. I, myself, have no problem with IRs. And Toya, the white race IS a minority if you take the world's population into account. If anyone is going to get wiped out through IR, it is them. Which is why we need to move past this and accept that people are going to be with who they want to be with and not get our panties in a bunch because of it. The races aren't going anywhere.

I feel that dating outside of your race should not be the topic of someone's conversation. God has planned everyone life ahead of time, and if he wanted everyone to married their owned kind-then we all would be of one color (get it)???

I can look at the issue from both sides. AA deal daily with a lot of extra stress d/t the color of the skin, sad but so true. Two people under that amount of stress do not need to be together sometimes. Especially if one or both parties are having a difficult time. On the other hand, knowing what you have to deal with each and almost every day you both understand the given situation if both parties are from the same race. I have found that being from another race background the other person does not fully understand the amount of daily(extra stress) that an AA person has to put up with.
