In a perfect world, love outlasts all things, but this world ain't perfect. I'm a hopless romantic so I have a place for love being the "IT." BUT, I also happen to be black in America. No matter how much we want to look pass it or move on, there are issues within ourselves as a group of people that have to be addressed.
Simply put, interracial relationships do nothing to uplift black folks collectively. I understand one doing what's right for themself, but that luxury isn't here yet. Had history (of black folks in this country) went down differently, we could be in a position where race wouldn't matter and everybody would be free to live and love, but we didn't start off on an equal playing field. We need all the people we can making strong black unions, then we can go about with this "we are the world" type idea.
