Why everyone is wrong about interracial relationships

Using marriage is a horrible indicator considering black men are married at a much lower rate than almost any other group at 33%. Compared to nearly 60% for white men.

Sterling K. Brown has played (at least, that I know of) TWO roles in non-Black TV shows, where he was married to a black woman.
He's spoken publicly about this, and I'm pretty sure it's why in Paradise, he's married to a dark skinned black woman, they have a beautiful family, it's great.

That last line Sojourner Truth line is sad bro…..

I can imagine it's psychological warfare to be in any relationship where the outside world is constantly judging your motivations based the physical features of the people involved…

calm down america! Why are you turning love into something nefarious?

I don’t think I’ll ever recover from finding out she never said “Ain’t I a woman” and why it was added after the fact 😭

I do notice that black woman are mistreated a lot 😢

fetishizing out of of some sort of low self esteem is what i see. i'm in a interracial marriage, mixed kids and i travel to south america back to her home, everyone was cool surrounded by people of another race i was made felt welcome and part of their family. just like my wife is with my family in europe. i see the hysterical gate keeping in america which i can only put down to the rotting foundations on which it was built. europe has racism yes…but from my experience the divivions dosn;t get the same promotiion. in america it's like sports or entertainment. for me people need to mind their business and let people be happy…or miserable whatever they are keep their big noses out of it. one small point that bugs me is the US centric way americans desribe "White People" or "Black People" they almost exclusively mean White Americans and Black americans…no offence but i don't want to associated with what you constantly describe as "white" or "white people" especially as my "whiteness" is the least important part about me. i don't care about it. i was born this way, i feel neither guilt nor pride in the same way as i being right handed it's just what i am. i am proud of my culture which to me is separated from my race, i appreciate that is different in america fro historical reasons (rotting foundations i mentioned earlier) i can't speak for what non american black people feel

I used to date black men, and only really black men. I wasn’t raised to realize the differences between the races. I just thought only white racists were against race mixing. And I thought, and still think, black people are beautiful and I admire them and their culture. It was heartbreaking to me as an adult to learn the actual differences between the races that do exist. I was raised to think black people are people just like me but with a different skin color, and I still think that obviously, but now I’m more aware of how society forces us into roles we don’t want to be in. Now I only date white guys and it’s ultimately because I don’t want to make any black women feel upset. But the thing is that I get called racist for saying that too. As a white person I’ve learned that I’m very ignorant and privileged and there’s nothing that I can do to distance myself from my whiteness, so it’s best if I just stick to being white and keep my mouth shut. I truly feel bad for black women who have been made to feel like their beauty isn’t as valued as it should be under a white supremacist Eurocentric societal standard. But I’m not lying when I say white people are the most bland and boring a dorky looking people to my mind and I truly wish I was a woman of color. Maybe that’s just because I’m fetishizing people of color and I find their exoticness enticing, I personally don’t think that’s the case, but like I said I’m white so I’m very ignorant and don’t get the final say on any of this.

This is Us is rare. Thanks for the commentary on Sojourner Truth. Thanks to the great historian Nell Painter for bringing that out
