Update: Today is July 19th, 2010 Therefore I have a month and a couple of weeks until school starts back. Degrassi Boiling Point tonight FTW. Had a surprisingly good weekend! Hung around males and remembered why you can't trust them. They're so..soo..sexually driven..and NOTORIOUS. Gosh.
Speaking of males I'm going to dedicate this blogs to the joys and woes of interracial dating.
I've been in the interracial dating game twice. First a Mexican boy and second a White boy. If you know me you know that I live and die and argue by the following belief: "Love knows no boundaries of gender or race". In this world I believe that Love is the strongest force. And the fact that I see so much hatred and abandonment of the idea and possibility of love, causes me to believe that this world is seeing the end of its time. BUT i won't discuss that here because I'm agnostic and consequently in no position to speak of the end of the world or God or anything. Next.
People underestimate the emotional stress of interracial dating. You can't go in public without side looks from strangers, in school you have ignorant peers (high school dating experience with Mexican boy), and then you have to deal with two different sets of parents. Its a lot to deal with. You can say "I don't care what anyone says" all you want but there's something that pains you about not being accepted or having your relationship respected.
Granted although I like for my other race male to have things in common with me, I personally do not go for the "ghetto" look. Sagging pants, talking "hood", because I don't look for that in black men so why would I want that to be transferred into a white male?? Exactly. And of course I know that interracial dating goes both ways, but you know how you get a little upset on the inside when you see a FINE STRAIGHT black man with a white girl? Something inside you hums like grrrr wtf!!!! That's just jealousy. It doesn't really have anything to do with the fact that she's white. Because if that same FINE STRAIGHT black man was with a black girl, you'd probably say "She ugly!" simply out of spite. I have to remember myself sometimes like I date non-black men! I can't judge a black man for dating a non-black female. That would make me a hypocrite. I try to not be hypocritical.
I look at homosexuality the same way as interracial dating. How you gonna tell someone who to love?! By not allowing Gay Marriage that's like me getting to the alter with my white fiance and the pastor saying "i can't marry you because this is too different". These struggles are the same. There are hateful words spoken, discrimination, violence. That's why everyone has to take a step back and wonder how you can condone one without condoning the other?
