Interracial Relationships
Quote From: amberluvsyou22Im In a Interracial relationship and its wonderful. I have a beautiful daughter who is just getting more and more beautiful each and every day. My husband is from Kenya (which is in Africa). He is the most wonderful husband anyone could ever ask for a wonderful dad as well. The thing is when he talks to black americans they say he "acts white". How can someone act white??? I mean if speaking proper english and having manners is "acting white" then what is "acting black?" Like he isnt black enough or something its not cool to make people feel like that. He also doesnt like it when black americans say there african american because they really are not african at all he is. They are americans. I think when everyone in this country starts realizing that we are all americans not anything hypenated then it will be alittle better place to live.
I am also in a very loving interracial relationship. My husband and I also manage to cope with different religious backgrounds. He is Jewish and I am Christian. I am from the Bahamas and also have to deal with African Americans saying that I am "acting white". I have never had any idea what that was supposed to mean. I was raised to speak a certain way (the queens English) and to comport myself in a certain way. I had no idea that correct speech had an ethnicity! I had heard that Canadians do not refer to themselves as African Canadians or Italian Canadians. I agree that Americans should try doing that and see if there is more harmony among the many people of different races, religions and creeds that make up this country.
