Inter-Racial Dating...Are You Down?

This discussion comes up a lot with me and my home girls and my male friends... Are people really into interracial relationships? Or  “down with the swirl.” Are they only accepted in Hollywood? This is a question I ask myself all the time. Do interracial relationships really work these days? Could interracial relationships stand the test of time and over come criticism that might occur?  There was a time where people of different races weren’t allowed to date, but with those walls down in today's time,it kind of seems like people still turn their nose up at the thought. Read more about this after the jump...

Love is said to see no color, but how can you build something with so many obvious differences. When people come from different backgrounds, they tend to lack things in common. But isn't that what makes the relationship unique? Why is it acceptable for a Latino woman to date a black man, but when a white woman dates a black man or vise versa she/he gets looked at with disgust? That shows that times have not really changed. Women still feel a certain way when they see "their men" with the opposite race.. I personally don't see any thing wrong with dating outside my race. The only thing that bothers me is when people date outside their race for ignorant reasons. I'm pretty sure we have all heard these comments before such as "I like dating white women or Latino women because I want my child to have good hair"...."I prefer  white women because they are more freakier in the bed" or this comment is my favorite one..."I'm going to start dating another race because they don't nag their men..".... That's the only time where I will get disgusted if you're dating outside your race for those reasons. Other than that live life and go for it!! Try new things,you just might like it! ;) So to all of my Lipstick and Labels readers..What do y'all think? Are you 'down with the swirl"? Leave your comments and tell me why or why not?
