Love is Love
I can’t and I won’t. The comments I see under pictures from interracial couples make me cringe. When I read “swirl on” I feel like throwing up.Like do you put a black and a white person in a pot an just mix them? OH HELL NO. And to top it off I saw a book on how to attract any white guy. This world should end…
No, I am not ignorant. And I don’t just date “my people”. I think dating outside your culture is a matter of comfort. Some people feel better around their people and some people don’t care and mingle like me. And that is okay. Now if you don’t feel comfortable around your own people it is a problem. But that is none of my business.
Anyways, I have always been open to dating whoever I want and so I did. But recently I was told I need to get myself a “brother”. I have no problem dating a “brother “ but I do not appreciate being told who I should date or not.
And the worst thing I have seen are these.
I’m not going to lie – I had a good laugh too.
But on second thought-This is everything what is wrong with our society. Media has become one of the reasons “Jennifers” and “Billys” won’t even look at us and “Shantioniques” and “Tyrones” have turned against each other.
In conclusion: Stop portraying my people like they can’t be tamed!
First of all I did what any normal person would do and googled both of the names. Unfortunately, I did not find a real Shantoinique but I found a woman with the nickname and she does music and photography and is very talented. I also found a Tyrone who is a professor in an university. Moreover, I knew a Jennifer in school who was crazy and let’s say “easy” but sure looked like the one in the picture. Now I don’t know how these people are in their private life but what I do know is that we can’t make assumptions out of stupid prejudice. There is no such thing as a typical black male or female and if that is what you think…well then you are part of the problem.
And it is the same with interracial dating. People always look for an “ideal” to make an understanding of something. I feel like interracial dating has become and ideal. When has “black love” become something negative? And my main issue is that interracial dating as portrayed in media is a “thing”. When I date Tyrone nobody cares but when I date Blue Eye Billy it is the biggest thing.
“The heart wants what it wants. There’s no logic to these things. You meet someone and you fall in love and that’s that.” Woody Allen
I’d like to look into the future knowing that one day interracial dating will be just dating because love is love.
But unfortunately, we have been told we are too different. We run around with our labels that prevent us from seeing someone for who they really are.
I support difference. It is beauty to me. But I will never support an ideal or a perfect human being.
So Swirl page and blackpeoplematch – don’t you ever send me an Instagram invitation again. I will happily block you!
Honestly I do. I knew I loved my natural hair since I was little. I loved styling and playing with it. However, for a long time i thought wearing a weave was the norm something I had to do cause -everyone does it right? But that’s like saying everyone drinks. The majority does. Not everyone. Don’t get me wrong i love a good extension in my hair. I love looking different and i love changing my hairstyle which is why I love wearing a weave now and then. What i don’t like is the comments between the woman that wears her hair natural and the woman that chooses to wear a weave or someone like me who likes both and does not understand what the hell is going on. So this is me telling both of you girls to sit down, take several seats, listen up:
