Well sweet heart, don’t be so down. There is a good side to all this. These are some lyrics to the song, “Silent Lucidity” by Qweensryche
If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin This is so true when it comes to interracial relationships. If it is genuine and not some twisted fancy for just something different. Worst of all is when the relationship is some kind of narcissistic, attention seeking plot of mutual agreement for some ulterior purpose.
When it is genuine then it can be something truly great if you have the strength of will and focus of purpose that it takes to succeed. But, the same can be said for any genuine relationship really. But an interracial relationship that is genuine has the potential to have both parties truly see each other as people not races. You don’t see all the people that is in your family as
“black people” or in my case
“white people.” When they do something, I don’t say to myself, "that’s so typical white person." But, occasionally, I’ll find myself say that about people of other races. But not near as much as before.
I
guess what I am trying to say is that once you have even the beginnings of a genuine relationship with someone of a different race then you learn so much about life, people, truth and the world around us all. It’s such an important lesson to remember to keep an open mind about others. The Bible says not to judge people, even ourselves. Some people lack the basic ability to see a black or white person as anything other than a black or white person. Most of us have the ability to go beyond that with people that we actually know and we see them as Tracy, or Terrance, or Bob, or whatever. But few are the people that will look at people of a different race as true friends or especially lovers. This makes you a better person to me if you can have an open enough mind to have that ability. At the same time though, I see way to many interracial relationships that are nothing but surface crap. All too often, I see what seems to me as people just seeing each other for the shock value or just some cheap, physical, sexual need. I’ve dated women who were basically cheating on an interracial partner and mentioned them like they were some kind of personal pet or dog that is no longer a puppy and they want to get rid of them.
Alone I had the ability to look into her eyes and say to myself, "I really think I could love this girl with all my heart and soul if things kept going the way that they were." The fact that she was black wasn’t in my mind until other people were present. Even then, it was only really a factor because the outside world made it one.
