Some time ago, a friend and I were having a conversation about who is meant for us. His parents had brought him up to believe that he would be able to date girls from other races, but he was meant to be married to a black girl. I understood his poinbt, but I saw things differently. I felt that one should not put boundaries on who they can and csnnot love, because there are several opportunities that one might miss out on. What do you think? Are you meant to be with a man or woman of your own race, or could anyone be made to fit you?

I disagree, everyone has to have a boundary on everything they do. Now if u are talking about a boundary as far as races, nothing wrong with that. And a boundary on what type of person u date is not bad either, a female having a boundary of not dating no crack head, or ex-con, or whatever, is not a bad boundary to me
I meant race. I mean I do put non- racial boundaries on the women I date, but I do not feel that I HAVE to marry a black woman in order to be truly happy.
/\/\/\/\/\ My brother, I understand where you are coming from. The first time I saw an interraccial couple in North Carolina, I was surprised, i figured that a black woman would see nothing in a white man, and vice versa, but I soon became accustomed to it. I heard something the other day in my african diaspoora class that really stood out. There is no such thing as a pure race right now. **** probably had intercourse with your great great grandmother or grand aunt or someone else in your family tree, therefore you are not purely black (This may not necessarily apply to you). No one is purely white, or black or asian, or anything else. We are all mixed, therefore, it should not matter the color of one's skin, I feel we should be able to look past all of that, to the person within. If that person makes you happy, if he or she fits you, then you should be with her/him, red, yellow, black or white.
I agree with you that nobody is really pure as u said. but when u said that it doesnt matter about the color of ones skin i cant agree. u may be mixed but when white people or other races see you if u look black then u black. so we may not be pure but u know if u black and u know if you not. so i still feel black should just be with black. we all want to think that color of someones skin isnt important but we all know that it really is.
Hotep,
I see that you changed the name of this post no problem.
I will say that there is no color of love. However, I believe that whoever I do date etc will reflect my mother

Ughh....I really dont have a problem with interracial dating (seeing as tho im bi-racial myself), however I was a little shocked when I seen a black man with a white woman for the first time ( you get accustomed to it living in DELAWARE tho :? ) SO I mean, its basically whoeva you meet and you feel COMPLETES you as a person, is who you should be with no matter WHAT race!
