Which reminds me... when is the woke mob coming for the Rolling Stones and their ditty Brown Sugar?
Decades ago when racism was not being stirred by the left, I had a black friend that had a white wife. He’d openly call me honkey in front of the troops and officers. I’d call him the “N” word back. No one cared. No one gave it a second look.
This guy had several friends where similar happened.
Try that today. Also back then we never though of a black person as being a “N” in the derogatory sense, they were just someone else.
Today we are all race conscious thanks to the left.
“If you watched TV commercials you would think EVERY couple is mixed race.”
Sickening, isn’t it? There’s one advertising drugs for older women — probably osteoporosis or similar. The old couple is mixed (not typical for older couples). Kids, grand kids are all different colors. Then the lady comes down stairs where a dog is sitting. Half of the dog is brown and half of the dog is white. It’s like a line was drawn straight down the center of the dog to make him diverse.
Fuzzy? You live in Virginia now?
“The article really should be: NEVER MARRY A LEFTIST:”
Definitely. THAT is the thing.
“I remember a certain black girl in my high school that I would have dated at the drop of a hat.”
Dated. Married?
I was in a homeless area the other week. One black guy passed two other black guys. The one guy started shouting at them. “Don’t you f-ing n***ers talk to me like that!...” It went on and on with F this and N that.” He was about 3 feet from me and going off on them for a couple of minutes. I didn’t react - it almost seemed like he was waiting for me to have a reaction.
Actually - a lot of the loud ones down there seemed like they were trying to get a rise out of me - or maybe it was just my perception. I just tuned them out and did my work.
The homeless white guys were usually quiet, or at the most muttering to themselves.
If she was the right one.
I would have been opposed by my parents and some others I knew at the time.
“If you watched TV commercials you would think EVERY couple is mixed race.”
I don’t know why blacks are complaining. If you go by commercials they are all executives, CEOs, Drs or lawyers. They live in huge houses in nice neighborhoods, have in-ground pools, drive new luxury cars, are married with kids, etc. They are living the dream.
I don’t see anything wrong with what she said. I’d say her points are on the money when you’re talking about any relationship. Listen, accept, communicate, don’t judge. It was the RD’s admonishment at the end to read about how to support BLM at the end that caught my attention. I do not feel the need or have any desire to support BLM.
". It was just a man and a woman falling in love."
I say BS. Neither of you noticed you were not the same race? How very, very unbelievable.I have no problem with 2 people who are in love getting married. Let you in on a little secret: other people are not as unaware as you are. They just don't speak about the "elephant in the room" because they are polite and decent. Neither does it mean they are racist that they notice.
Liberals and marriage isn’t a good combination.At least now social media exposes which couples will probably be divorced so we can avoid them now.
My wife is native American and we don’t have any of these problems that blacks do.
Since readers digest has chosen to capitalize black and to keep White in lower case, I will never ever buy a readers digest again.
Notice the difference in the two....white man....Black woman.
The message is being sent.
“When my partner and I fell in love...”
It’s very risky to fall in love with someone you work with, due to the very likely fact that the relationship won’t work out - so then you need to divide up the business.
Not smart.
I see that the woke movement has now pushed for the faggot term “partner” to be applied to male/female couples. The faggots will do anything and everything to make people accept them as normal rather than as deviants.
Thank you for noticing that the b in black is capitalized while the w in white is not.
I was told this was coming. I missed that completely. Glad you caught it and pointed it out. Good catch.
“Of course every relationship is a psychotic leftist will end in disaster. When is that NOT a thing? The article really should be: NEVER MARRY A LEFTIST”
I also agree. When I was young and idealistic, I was still a raging Fascist (after all, I supported Reagan), and I actually believed that I could spend my life with a Leftist wife. Thankfully, I ended up marrying someone from halfway around the world that was even more conservative than me...and so our ‘worst’ political arguments are me saying something like “that might be a bit too much”.
And beyond politics, I think conservative wives (or husbands) are much better able to handle money and not widely spend, at least based on what I’ve seen.
I am in an interracial marriage and what makes it (and, I believe, any relationship) work is the Christ-likeness we try to demonstrate toward each other and all we meet. Being other-minded affects communication, attitude, how one handles adversity, etc. Christ is the ultimate example of this. The factor present in most failed/failing relationships stems from an attitude that leans toward self. Whether one is Black, Brown, Yellow,Red, or White, for a marriage relationship to succeed, there needs to be a commitment to the relationship itself and that involves a strong willingness to be concerned about “the other” in that relationship.
Race introduces many challenges in an interracial marriage not present in single-race relationships, but the fix for those issues remains the same: other-mindedness. This is not naïveté, this is what I know to be true having learned this through coming up on 27 years of marriage.
