Unthinkable
A lot of Black Women get the misconception that I'm only dealing with White Women at this point in my life. I'm here to set that part straight. I am dealing with ALL WOMEN. I have recently openly started dating other races after having experiencing my first interracial relationship with "Khloe". Now I have had sex with white girls before, but dating and in a relationship, nope, never. In my 26 years of dating Black Women I've learn that they do have a prejudice against other races dating "their" men. When I first entered a relationship with Khloe it was a lot of backlash about it. Nothing really major, just some of my black female friends would say little slick comments about her or us. It never really phased me, but it made me aware that even now, some people are very uncomfortable with interracial dating. On my twitter account @MrRAJohnson I do overly attack black women and their insecurities about me dating outside my race. I openly admit to enjoying it. It's just that I'm at the point in my life were I'm into ALL my options. I refuse to limit myself to only a small demographic of women based on the color of MY skin, not theirs. Some black women have even came out and said that "You're disrespecting you mother" in reference to me dating outside my race. Hearing this statement, I paused. Is this really something Black Women say to Black Men in chances that they will stay in their race? I don't even see how someone of the same race could compare finding love outside their race as DISRESPECTFUL, and to someone's mother? That statement did not detour me from continuing to date outside my race, it just opened my eyes to the fact that Black Women are becoming more and more bitter to losing "THEIR" men to "OTHER" women. Now having a conversation with some Black Women, they really don't have a problem with interracial dating, it's just DATING WHITE WOMEN that they have a problem with. Spanish, Latina women have been excluded from their, for a lack of better word, hatred. Even after me explaining that Khloe was of product of multiple races, my black female friends still only seen her as WHITE. Since Khloe I have not be in a relationship, but I do continue to engage with dating outside my race. I also STILL date within my race as well. To me, LOVE isn't a color. It's a feeling. If I feel a connection to someone, then it's not a problem what race they are.I New Years I kissed an Asian girl. My first Asian to be exact. Why? She was cute. Would I date her? Yes, well no, she was a little to drunk and hooked up with another guy after I turned my back, but you get the point. Race is a factor that do not equate in my mind when searching for LOVE. So Black Women, will I continue to date outside my race, YES. Will I continue to date Black Women, YES. My current "crush" is someone of multiple decent as well. She's a very pretty girl, who is very personable, funny, caring and did i mention beautiful? For privacy reason, we'll call her "Angel". It's certain circumstance that prevent me from actively pursuing her, but RACE is not one of them. So to everyone reading. Don't let RACE factor into LOVE... it's a factor that doesn't compute. I will say this though, there are some Black Women who do not have a problem with interracial dating and encourage it, but I have only met a few.

Very well said sir...your heart is...was...and always should be blind to color!!!
ReplyDeleteRainbow Coalition is in full effect. Really dope piece bro.
ReplyDeleteThis is sad but true. Some people still have issues w interracial dating. Try not to group a few ignorant ppl within one race as representing the whole though. Above all else, all that matters is your happiness and security. If a WOMAN (regardless of her race) makes you happy and it's a healthy relationship then that is what is most important.
ReplyDeletefor those who let color get in the way of love is pure ignorance. you cant knock someone for what they feel bc you dont feel the same about it. if that person makes you happy and feel good hell why not go with it. the main goal is to be happy and feel free. good shit bro.
