Our Community

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." Margaret Meade

The word on the street is that our community is growing. Our Community. It's so exciting just to say those words. I stole the quote from another blogger's site http://sarasbloginterraciallove.blogspot.com/ , it rang so very true to me. There are literally thousands of men in the U.S who are now finding the (large ones) to ask a woman of a different ethnicity out on a date, and consider it more that a sexual conquest. By that I mean they have honorable intentions.

I did a Google search for interracial love and I was quite surprised that the images were dominated by bw with wm. I have to say this made me smile, it let me know that the powers that be, whatever force that previously kept us from seriously pursuing one another has been hushed, but not silenced.

It is such a privilege to be a part of this community. If nothing else it is encouraging to black women who may think that they are pigeonholed (to put aside indefinitely, as if intending to ignore or forget; shelve) into waiting for the black knight to suddenly come along and sweep her off her feet, which could actually happen, but why not explore all of the options that are ready, willing, and able. Black women often let people guilt us into submission with the usual crap like, "why would you trade teams?" or "white guys just use black women for sex." While we hear things like this, bm go out and and set the town ablaze with who they want, when they want, with no admonishment or complaints from anyone black or white.

So I celebrate all of the blogger's who write insightful and encouraging words, and provide us with information on this journey. If only we had clubs set up in major cities to make love connections, who knows maybe that's next.
