Color of Love: Celebs in Interracial Relationships

10yrs ago I dated a white guy for the 1st time. When it was just us it was great, when we would be in the public we would get the comments. People would say things u will be back, what he has money etc. It got so bad I ended the relationship after 9 months. We got bck together I tried harder for sake of relationship. I felt it was easier for him he always dated blk. His mother told us we had to get tough skin if we wanted it to work. Bottom line after 3 yrs we decided to make it permanent. At dinner the waiter refused to bring the ring to the table I was so upset/hurt I knew then I didn’t have the tough skin I would need in order for our relationship to last forever. Even though i'm happily married w/ 2 beautiful daughters. I think about it not being with someone u love because of their skin color. It’s true you never forget your first/true love. It's hard dating outside of your race I know it was for me.

Hey WTF2, You know what it also called for those who chooses to go outside the box! Like someone had commented on earlier GENOCIDE!!! call it what ever you want! Why is it that Essense magazine has to force this issue down our throats it not being talked about in the other mainstream publications! I don't get it!!! Throwing your culture under the bus!!!
