COLOR BLIND

I have been in an interracial relationship for 5 years now! Not that I haven't ever been in on this is just the longest and by far the best relationship I have been in. My parents didn't raise their children to be racist but they didn't encourage nor discourage interracial dating. I grew up in a town of few to no other race other than Caucasian, not that that made me curious. I did not get into this relationship for the "shock value" of it! I didn't fall in love with King because he was African American. I fell in love with his heart and his mind. He wasn't bad looking in my opinion either.

I can't say that my family embraced my relationship but at the start things were rocky between us and yes "things" happened that disappointed them. My family is still not close to him nor is he close to them. As for his family I don't think they have quite figured out that I am white!lol They have welcomed me into the family with open arms and made me one of them! We have no children together and my children when they were around him they loved him. His daughter is 10 and me and her have had our ups and downs but that is to be expected with step children/parents. I love my step daughter just as I love my own kids! She at the start seemed to be a bit upset that her daddy was with a white woman but soon realized I was no different only in color.

I don't know if I am just used to people looking at us or I just don't care. People are entitled to there opinion just as I am entitled to love whom I want to. I am sure that African American woman talk about me in a bad way and say things behind my back but, I really don't care. I am a strong, independent woman with out with a man of any race. I will always be ME before I am a WE! Nothing about my relationship bothers me because I am comfortable! I love the skin I am in! I say let people talk and say what they want because in the end ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME!

Ok this picture reminded me of this time when my mom and sisters at Easter time put all the black and white jelly beans in my Easter basket! We all laughed it doesn't offend me not one bit! I love black and white cows, I have a black and white dog, heck my kitchen is designed in black and white!lol It just doesn't bother me! I am confident I feel like I have a beautiful relationship and I am truly blessed to have this man in my life! He has taught me to be stronger than I was to stand up for myself and not care about outside forces and focus on what is best for me and my family! He gives me 100% support in everything I do! He works to take care of me when I am in need he does what ever he has to to make sure I am well taken care of and want for nothing. Which is more that I can say for my last relationship which was with a white man!
