This is a valid concern from a worldly perspective. So, it depends on whether or not a relationship is based in God or in man. A relationship based in God automatically has bridges to the inevitable gaps faced by all people - regardless of the distance. So, what we consider to be smaller (the gap between men-problems and women-problems) as well as what we consider to be bigger (the gap between couples of varying races, ages, educational backgrounds, etc.) are completely covered in God.
One thing I am learning is that I have to be extremely patient (as I am often reminded by my fiance) because we DO have very different perspectives and methods of communication.
But, to say that a white woman can't provide enough support to a black man in a serious relationship is taking God completely out of the equation. (Of course, if that's where you stand, I know where you're coming from.)

I think you need to remember that no everyone believes in God or believes in God the same way that you do, so your statment may have no meaning to to some people.
For some people God is not a factor in how their relationship works and not having God in their relationship doesn't make their relationship less meaningful or supportive and does not mean their relationship is doomed to fail.
