Wow! So would you be ashamed of her only because she was pale or is it because you would be ashamed of the way people would react to you being black and her being a pale white woman? And why would you be partial to it if she were tanned? is it because she would look like she was a person of color eventhough she wasnt? So its okay as long as it "looks right"?
Im just having a hard time grasping this.
To the topic(s) at hand:
1. I've never dated outside of my race because i've never found a white or other guy attractive (as in someone i know not some celebs because there are definitely some guys of other races that make me wanna live in TV land) enough to hold my interest. Also it is really hard for any person who is not black to understand the complexity that is my blackness. Being black is so multifacited that only living in this black skin could allow you to understand and even then there is still so much that is not understood. For example to some black people (like myself) being a part of the political process is absolutely necessary to change the way that blacks are treated and viewed in america. While to other black people the political process is nothing more than a ploy to keep the black mind occupied on things that are not conducive to increasing black people's awareness and development. Although these are two very different opinions they are both very black and only a black person would be able understand and appreciate these things without me spending decades (or any amount of time) teaching them about them.
2. The interracial thing is only bothersome when it is done out of ignorance or spite or for reasons other than love. Personally i dont agree with ANY relationship regardless of race that is embarked upon for the wrong reasons.
