Making it a Big Thing
Love is love. When we fall in love with someone, we become enamored with who they are as a person, not what they look like on the outside. This Black woman is in an interracial relationship with a white man and didn’t anticipate all of the flack she has received over the years from other Black people.
She loves her husband regardless of skin color, so she’s always thrown off when people make it a big deal. She shares that people have asked her weird and invasive questions about their personal lives as if she has to justify why she’s with him. She’s even gotten some hostile vibes from Black men when they first learn her husband is white. Thankfully, they’ve been able to make their relationship work.
