I already knew I was a racist in this construct-I didn’t need your quiz. It’s impossible to discuss these things without discussing the complicated sexual relationships between the races (white men and black women in particular) in our country’s history.

I have never had an issue with interracial relationships; ( scored a 15 on the test so I guess that counts for something.)

But my only issue is when some white women choose to date a black man only because of the fact that they want to:

1. show him off to their friends [ I've witnessed this many times. For them dating a black man is like a trend to them. Next to teenage pregnancy ( I believe it has become a trend or something like it.)]

2. fit in with other black people [ I've had friends that has done this, many, many times.]

3. have the satisfaction of saying that they have had sex with a black man and share their expiriences with each other. [If you can't beat em, join em right?]

I’ve had friends that have done all 3 of these things and thinks nothing of it. Most people would say that I’m jealous, but I’m not. I only wish people would base their relationships off of love, not social status or expiriences.

I’ve never been in an IR relationship. I’ve been labeled as an relationship racist on a number of occassions but I really don’t think I am. People mistake my racial consciousness for racism. I would like to marry a member of the African Diaspora…. don’t really care if their American, Caribbean, African, Latino, etc…. but if I happen to meet someone of another race altogether that I really like, I would welcome it. I just don’t see it happening. Before I started college, I lived in a very diverse area sooo I had friends of all races and it was easier to come across people of other races. I don’t go to an HBCU but in college it seems like all the races stick to their own. I’ve tried befriending people of other races and we can’t seem to get past the acquantance level just because we don’t hang out in the same places or go to the same parties.

&& as for how I feel about IR relationships involving black men && non-black women…. It’s kind of strange but I really don’t care about black men dating asians or hispanics… it only bothers me to see them with white women…especially if she’s ugly and i know beauty is in the eye of the beholder but there are some people who are just universally ugly…. && not to say that looks are everythang but i hate seeing brothas go from a good looking well kept smart sista to a trashy dumb WW. If you’re gonna go white, do it right. I’d much prefer to see a fine brotha with a beautiful WW then some of these WW I see them with.

But you know….love is love… it’s beautiful regardless of who its between… as long as its btwn to consenting adults i have no problem with it.

@Leila,

I think her hair looks fine. It’s natural and it doesnt look tangled up. She could put some shea butta in that ish or some bows or somethin but its really not that bad.

all of you criticizing Zahara’s hair should see Chris Rock’s new movie “Good Hair.” And you are not allowed to laugh. You people have serious issues.
