Interracial Relationships
Moraya Ugwu • August 20, 2021
I have been attracted to the white male species since I could remember. My family told me growing up that I was going to marry out of my race and I never doubted them for a second and I still don’t. Simply put that is what I am attracted too, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. With there are a few things I have been told while being in my interracial relationships that I believe need to be address and shut down ASAP!
- “You need a black man in your life”: First, I don’t need any man in my life besides Jesus. Second what is a black man going to give me that a white man can’t. Last time I checked they have the same anatomy and no matter what color skin I chose they would have to be hardworking and driven like me soon. Also, I have enough black men in my life my dad my uncles my brother and my cousins. So, I don’t see the need.
- “You are going against your upbringing” – You must be mistaken because I was raised in a town where my family and I were one of the three black families in the town. I really did not start going to a diverse school until the middle of 7th grade and the second half of high school. (I went to an all-girls catholic school the first two years of high school which meant my male interactions were the all-boys catholic school down the street). So, my upbringing was predominately white thank you very much. And no that does not mean I am out of touch because this 4C hair certainly does not take care of itself!
- “You guys are going to have such cute babies” – Hold on a minute who told you I was going to have a child with this boy. Last time I checked a child was no where on our radar and I have to be financially stable before that even enters the chat. I will not be raising a child that I can not provide for. Also I will not be having a child of my own because I have some crazy genes and my body can not handle it and nor will I be paying someone else to go through that pain. Second of all knowing the child is mixed doesn’t automatically make the child cute. I have seen some pretty ugly mixed babies so do not go assuming.
At the end of the day who I choose to date and what my preference is, is my choice and no one else’s. I like what I like and that’s that so save your snarky comments to yourself!
