I Love Mad Men!

If you haven't checked out Mad Men, Sunday's at 10:00p.m. on AMC, you have to give it a try. The show is currently set in 1963, and it is such a totally different world than anything I've ever been exposed to on any television program. Absolutely one of the best written programs on the summer roster. Catch up on season one ON DEMAND.

On Sunday's episode one of the main characters introduces his black girlfriend to one of his co-workers, and the female co-worker goes on to insinuate that he is only in such a relationship to prove how hip and progressive he is. It was an interesting exchange. That part of the plot was definitely an interesting point and something that has crossed my mind as a bw who dates inter ethnically.

Would a white guy seek such a relationship to prove such a point?

People sometimes can be so rude! A man should have a relationship with a woman because he truly cares for her.

Well depends if he is in love then he wouldn't have any motive other than being a prince to his sweetheart.

If he does have a motive his shallowness and flakiness will manifest itself eventually.

I'm guessing the white woman is just peeved that he would even look at a woman that isn't white.
