In any relationship (black or white) the woman is "usually" going to do what the man ddoes. SHe goes wher ethe man takes her and gets into whatever the man is into. So, in a White man, blck women relationship, I dont see him enhancing her African American culture. I dont see him taking her to the KIng Center or to see Black culture events. I could be wrong, but I am just aying what I see. [/B]

I know you said usually....I just wanted to share an exception. I met my white husband in a black church! He was the only white guy in the church (there was one other white lady). And he had a leadership position, too.
I figure when he married me he knew what he was getting into, so to speak. And he clearly has an appreciation for black culture, else he wouldn't have been attending the church he was going to, and he certainly wouldn't have married me!
And he's not one of these 'trying to be black' kind of white guys, either. He's from small town New England, where there are hardly any of 'us' there. I think he's a product of his environment, where his minister father truly taught him that all people are created equal and are to be respected and appreciated. And that's rare. He's comfortable enough with my blackness, he actually encourages me to cut off all my permed hair and start over with a natural! Why? Because "that's the way God made you and you are beautiful as you are," he said.
