You bet. We dated and married people who were the same race, had same educational level, same religion, and same socioeconomic level. Life was very clear-cut, uncluttered and way simpler. I still think we would be better off had it remained that way.
Sorry I digress in a way,
My dad worked 3 jobs including being in the U.S. navy so we could live in a great neighborhood, regardless of skin color, and thank god he did, cause I visited where he came from and it was not pretty. I thank god as flawed as I am that my family worked as hard as they did also I am thankful I am free to date who I wish without the Government telling me whom to see, who are like me culturally and politically, also friends who are mostly white, not that it matters, but have been a great influence in my life and are almost like brothers, however I respect your opinion.
