...if I did.
I think it's wonderful. I think Bobby's family is wonderful. I would date someone of color again in a heartbeat. I also agree with ct that religion (for me) would be a much bigger obstacle. Because it goes to heart of who I am, how I wish to live (and if I were younger) how I'd want to raise my children, values that couldn't be compromised - all that important stuff.
Just wanted to relate actual stuff that I witnessed (there was lots more, too) for some perspective. I lived it, and it wasn't all rosy. But, for the most part, good people didn't care, didn't stare and didn't leave cowardly, anonymous hate mail (written in marker with spelling errors, no less!) at my home. And even if they had done that daily, it just would have made us more determined to pursue the relationship.
I think love is majorly important. If this man treats you like you said, and you two are in love, who cares if he's purple or striped or whatever!
Just wanted to clarify where I'm coming from, and it's not, "oh, no, you shouldn't do it.." Not at all. In fact, I think it is a shining example of God's work on earth, that by its very existence, makes an important statement about how we were meant to love each other.
I wish you much love, peace and joy with him :-)
