Interracial Couples

Mandy Tucker

                I was hanging out with my friends this evening, when they mentioned they had been having some trouble with her parents. My friend is white and she is dating a black man. She is pregnant with his baby and they are very happy, but her mother and father are not happy. They have not been happy since they started dating. They wont help them out or give her a baby shower, nothing. This really gets to me because it seems like it is time to get past the interracial dating problem. There is no problem. We are all attracted to who we are and it should not matter what race, gender, etc you are. I don’t understand how it can be so acceptable for “Celebrities”, but not for regular people. Many people look at them differently, when all anyone should see is not color, but the love they have for each other. That is all that is important. They are both such good people and they share so much love, but they run into problems because they are of a different race. It is so sad that her parents cannot just look past skin color and see how in love they are and how well their daughter is taken care of. You know, you see so many interracial couples, such as black and white, white and asian, black and asian, etc. But no one seems to be to disturbed except by the Black and White couple. Who Cares? Two people are in love and happy together and that is all that should matter.

I found a pic of a lot of famous interracial couples and a clip from the movie Guess Who?, which really deals with the interracial issue and the dicrimination against it.
