Zu I think you’re right. As much as I might have talked about race and relationships, I can’t say I’ve ever gone into any thinking “oh…I think I’ll go for a (fill in race) guy.”

I thought jazz360 (I think that’s his name) was too funny, talking about how the hoodrats will be left to carry on the race and Darwinism working against us. Stop.

i love your blog…really interesting stuff. my reason for commenting is that i am in an interracial relationship with a black woman (i’m indian/pakistani…we goin on 2 years) and i could really connect with what you said regarding having reason to date outside your race. it should just happen, without any extra thought. i never thought, oh, i think i’ll date a black woman. it just happened. matter of fact, she almost tried to avoid it, and i understand why. but in response to your final question…hell no u shouldn’t settle for less…go for what’s best for you. just understand that the best can show up lookin like you least expected it.

Hi,

Just so you know, Ossie and Ruby were in an open relationship for some time, but made the decision to be monogamous after sometime.

hm...

to add my $.02, it seems that, as reg said, since we don't NEED to get married anymore, the game's infinitely more complicated.

i don't think i could attract a whiteboy if my life depended on it. and if one ever liked me, i never knew.

on the other hand, i tend to attract (and let go of) the type of black men everyone wants.

why?

part of it has to do with not believing in lack. if i'm here, then so is my counterpart, period. some are temporary, others last a few years. hopefully i'll find the one that's permanent.

in the meantime, i'm not going to put up with immaturity, insecurity, and a general lack of development. i don't want to have to "shape" my mate, and since soooo many of us were not raised to be fully realized, competent, clear thinking, adult human beings (who has time for that w/ consumerism, oppression, racism, poverty, etc. and so on...), it can be easier to find a man with a steady gig and no kids than one who can clearly and fully express his emotions/desires/self.

and, at the end of the day, that's what i really need.

You ain’t right. I was watching an American Masters installment on Marvin Gaye tonight and they interviewed Nick and Valerie, and I could NOT stop laughing. And I had to come by here and let you know that you. ain’t. right. LOL

Great post and love your style to approach such a deep topic.

I don't think black love is dead. I do think love itself is in a crisis in America.

As a good boy raised by grandparents, i've often had my sistas say to me that I was too good. I've even been overlooked because of my clean cut image for the brother that has that rough edge.

Yes, that scared me. Yes, it pains me that we have let the BETism influence our culture to the point that we have put brothers who educate themselves and attempt to excel through legal means as second rate lovers.

I'm a firm believe that love will find you regardless of where you try to hide.
