Quote From: bellkerOk, so you are now dating an African American man who is attentive and accepted by your parents. Should we now give you a metal.....
Saying that with a grin...
Dating out side of your race goes deeper than all of what you have stated, though it is nice. I am African American.
This what you have to be prepared to do next.... Learn the true history of Black people in America from as far back as Slavery in the south...... and then come forward...
You must.... Why... because some day you may have children whose heritage will now be from two different ethnicities. You have to be prepared to teach your children the truth about who they are and where they come from....
Next, you need to learn how to do black children's hair, especially girls... men don't usually do hair well. Just in case your children's hair is kinky curly instead of silky straight like yours. Braids is not the way to go for long periods of time...
Next... you need to learn about your man's background, about his family of his mother's mother's mother and so on... where they did they come from... Are they African American / Native American heritage or Creole, or ?????? find out...
Next, no the medical history... do they have a history of sickle cell, high blood pressure.... etc..... Do they have a history of mental problems.... and then
After you learn all of that.... the same goes for him in the reverse. You must inform him of all of that......
Ok SISTER.... earn your Sister card.... get to know your soon to be family well, collect pictures and data cause your kids will want to know some day....
Then, you can ride off into the sunset.....with your Man...
let me know how it goes.
Sincerely
I dont need a medal just because I have dated Black men. lol But thanks, Maybe you would like to honor me with one? haha
First of all, I WOULD learn all about my partner's side, should they be open enough to enlighten me. I would learn to do the girl's hair. Even though I have never been one to do my OWN! haha I never had the knack for it. I just can't seem to get the darn thing tight enough.
However, I do not intend tohave any more children of my own.If I am blessed enough to have an extended family, it goes without saying to me, I would take the time to EARN my SISTA card, out of respect for the other side of the family. it's the right thing to do. And I'm all about doing the right thing. haha Thanks for the comment. I wish I were riding off into the sunset now.
Stay Blessed.
