The girl was upset because she wanted to date a white boy and while she had a lot of white boy friends, none of them she was interested in wanted to date her. The struggle to 'belong' was a horrible thing for her to go through. She isn't the only one I have seen struggle with that issue. Do any of your children voice anything like the above or have you ever seen that?
I have never dated outside of my race simply because I wasn't interested, not because of their color. My sister is dating a black man. I love him regardless because he takes care of her. My brother doesn't like it because he thinks we should 'stick to our own kind' even though he likes the guy as a good friend.
Being with 'our own kind' is normal, I think. While there are some like my sister, mother in law, and yourself who choose to date outside their race, it's not typical.
I love everyone no matter what...unless you pick on my kids. Then I'm a momma bear! LOL!

My kids never went thru anything like that! They were and are happy with who they are and where they came from. My son dates mostly Asian girls (?)and my daughter has a son with a Mexican guy and then married a white guy. We are happy with whomever they choose as long as they "stay out of the local dump" to find them....ya know what I mean as a mom!!! We have had our fair share of .......... <ahem> girls my has son picked in the past.....

As for "our own kind".....never fully wrapped my mind around that one when people say that куп глупости
(as my Bulgarian gramma would call it) As for my husband, I met him at a friends family cookout and I knew God had sent him my way. This was confirmed thru our pastor one Sunday morning when he called us up front during the middle of a sunday service! God has blessed our marriage and family beyond words thru the years! I never seen a "black man".....I seen a goodlooking guy who smiled at me and asked me my name.....and here we are 32 years later....33 years TOMORROW July 8th!!! True love sees no color, age or shape. I can get along Lucifer if I have to as long as he don't tread on my space and mess with my kids! I despise racism of ANY type and think its from SMALL minded fools who have no sense of even who they are themselves!
