Color of Love: Celebs in Interracial Relationships

I, for one, will be glad when interracial relationships are no longer taboo or a trigger topic. Love is love, and it knows no color.

Are we not all Humans? Or are we different Species? Just because two people are the same color, doesn't mean they will automatically be compatible. Grow up! You date whoever you want to, and for those who have a problem with it....guess what?? No one gives a damn about your opinions. If I like green apples, I don't give a F$%# if you like red apples. I'm still going to like GREEN apples. You can't live your life for anybody but YOU!! Date whoever you want BLACK WHITE MEXICAN ASIAN, Who gives a damn, love is love!!

I LOVE Interracial Dating! I have only dated white men and they have treated me amazing! I have many Black men ask me why I talk so "proper" and "why do you listen to that White music"? I listen to all types and so should they. That justice probably is like White racists; they will have sex with a Black woman, but won't marry her! That guy can SUCK IT!

People should date and marry who they choose;however, there is a problem when someone is never attracted to someone of their own race.

Sometimes you connect better with people from other races and cultures. It seems (I love my black people and culure and the men) but I have always gotten along better with people from other cultures. My own race has never seemed to understand or embrace me.

It's a beautiful thing, balck people have mixed for years. I would marry someone outside of my race because it looks like all the balck men at so funny, and I've always loved other cultures as well as my own, and I think it's a beautiful thing, if you find someone who loves you it's Great! Life's to short to be sooo picky!!!!!

Our communities are in disarray and black folks are on this site worrying about sleeping with White folk. OMG. Now we have the answer why we never make progress as a collective, too busy worrying about BS.

To Toya: The reason why it is being talked about more in AA publications than in "white" publications obvious - just look at your response. As long as there is more controversy about this in the AA community than there is in the white community, you will continue to see this hype. Nowadays, there is more black resistance to IR relationships than white. Truth be told, if there is any genocide happening, it is to the white race who is the minority on the planet and whose numbers are shrinking. But I don't think the term genocide fits anyway: when people of two races want to be together, it's usually because of love and attraction, not a desire to "kill" anything. It's a new world and you won't be able to fight it. Get used to it. Date whoever you want, but the longer it pisses u off to see others date who THEY want, the more "under the bus" you will find yourself. Catch up - it's the 21st century and people are seeing beyond color as never before, and they will continue to do so.

You are blessed if you find anyone of any race that will love you with everything that's in them and are not selfish these days. We've all had failed inner-racial and inter-racial relationships. True love is when it's a person's pleasure to take care of you (doesn't feel like a job) and make you happy; hurts when you hurt and wants to make things better for you; doesn't take and give nothing in return, but, instead gives and doesn't expect anything in return. You have to know your self-worth no matter who you are with or you will get trampled on. There are good men and women in all races just as well as bad. Sadly some think dating another race means that they are all of a sudden great people, when they were "all of that" before (insecurity issues). It's alright who you date & marry, just do it for the right reason.

Confused on why this is even an issue. No one can tell anyone who they can date or marry. Black women stop looking for a black man and look for a good man. I am happily married to a man who happens to be black. But I would date a yellow, green or purple man just as long as he was a good man. Me as a black woman would love to see my daughter and son marry first and fore most great people. Whether blue or green. I welcome a multicultural family mixture.
