Young man demands money for dating woman
2007-09-17 16:53:00
This is a story of how a middle-aged man impregnated the daughter of a General Overseer of a prominent Pentecostal church in a city in the South-South and later turned around to blackmail her by demanding for money. According to the story, the pastor’s daughter was married but was still having an affair with this young man and she had been dating him for some time now.Small Talks, however, learnt that this lady is right now in a state of dilemma as the guy is insisting that he be paid a large sum of money or he would spill the beans of their secret affair to her husband. It was revealed that since the guy started requesting for the money, things had not been the same again in her home as she had not been able to pay the huge ransom. For this reason, as the story goes, she stands the risk of losing the husband should the guy carry out his threat to make their affair public. The lady who hails from a South-Western part of the country is said to be a young mother while her father is ...

Cole: A lifetime of love for interracial couple
2007-09-16 09:29:00
I am a 63-year-old, second-generation Italian. My parents were off the boat. Thirty-three years ago, I was lonely, wondering why I couldn't find ''the right woman.'' One day, the most beautiful woman walked into my workplace. I struck up a conversation, and one thing led to another. She is African-American, but it didn't seem to matter. She is better educated than I am, but it didn't seem to matter.When we met our parents, mine were cold and distant. When we met hers, her parents informed us that they hadn't sent their daughter to college so she could become successful ''and leave her people behind.'' Her father looked at me and said nobody in his family would ever marry ''a white boy.'' I was 31 years old. We got married the next year. Both sets of parents refused to attend the wedding. Tell those young folks that it is their life, but they have to take control of it. We did. And our lives have been blessed.Today, we have four wonderful children and four wonderful g...

Insulting Blacks
2007-09-16 09:13:00
“I don’t feel no ways tired. I come too far from where I started from. Nobody told me that the road would be easy. I don’t believe He brought me this far,” drawled presidential aspirant Hillary Clinton, mimicking black voice to a black audience, at the First Baptist Church of Selma, Alabama.I’m wondering if Mrs. Clinton visits an Indian reservation she might cozy up to them saying, “How! Me not tired. Me come heap long way. Road mighty rough. Sky Spirit no bring me this far.”Or, seeking the Asian vote she might say, “I no wray tired. Come too far I started flum. Road berry clooked. Number one Dragon King take me far.”The occasion of Mrs. Clinton’s speech was the 42nd anniversary of Bloody Sunday, on March 7, 1965, when 600 civil rights marchers were attacked by police with billy clubs, cattle prods and tear gas, one of the high points in the black civil rights struggle.Commemorating a key point in American history is one thing, but a white person mimicking black ...

Dating violence among students
2007-09-13 16:36:00
A startling number of high school and college students - both female and male -- are being battered, sexually abused or stalked by their dates, according to a Kansas State University professor. "Approximately 30 percent of college students have been in relationships that involve physical aggression. Even more have been in relationships that are emotionally abusive," said Sandra Stith, director of the marriage and family therapy program at K-State and a nationally recognized expert in domestic violence. Likewise, approximately 25 percent of high school students who are in relationships are subjected to abuse, according to Stith. Why? Research points to many complex triggers, said Stith, who also is a pioneer in couples treatment for domestic violence. Stress and the inability to control anger are common ones. Another is the intensity of the relationship. Stith said studies show that the more serious the liaison, the more likely it is to be violent. Too many students think they don't...

High school relationship blossoms at different colleges
2007-09-11 13:54:00
Tim Reid saw Ann McCullough and her friends looking at him from across the room, laughing. He thought their laughs were because they were making fun of him. Little did he know, McCullough only giggled because she was admiring him instead of paying attention in their high school freshman history class.“He used to sit across the room from me so I actually just thought he was really cute. He just always smiled and never talked,” McCullough said. Despite his notion that he was being made fun of, Reid thought McCullough was attractive and tried to get the courage to meet up with her after class. “I was nervous talking to her,” he said. McCullough’s friend since fourth grade, Alli Matheis, a junior at Indiana University, remembers Reid being quiet and staring with McCullough at him across the room. A mutual friend kept the two connected over the summer, and after a few group hangouts and parties, on McCullough’s birthday of her sophomore year of high school, Reid asked her out...

Wedding stories annoy some
2007-09-10 14:11:00
Adam and Caitlin Nations are working their way through college. They were attracted to each other in part because of their interest in being missionaries. The bride, 21, and groom, 20, even have wonderful role models when it comes to marriage: Both sets of parents married at a young age and have stayed together.If only all wedding stories could be so idyllic.The reality is that the weekly "I do, I do" feature by M.C. Finotti sometimes raises hackles. That's true, in part, because her stories provide an unvarnished reflection of how local people meet, love, marry and have children - and not necessarily in that order.One recent story was about a groom who had been twice married and twice divorced. For his third marriage he used index cards to describe in terms of "Hot, Hotter, Very Hot and Super Hot" his love for his bride. One reader found it all deeply disturbing."So distasteful that I wanted to shower after reading such solemn stuff," Sam Pringle wrote, urging that the weekly wedd...

Unforbidden Love
2007-09-10 13:43:00
My family are very cultural people and what cultural people tend to do is stay in their own accustom little world and are afraid to step out of their little box. It's hard, to know that you can never change a person and their beliefs, especially if it's your own family. At my house back home, all we do is speak the our native language, eat our cultural food, respect our elders, and forced to do "woman-hating" chores (household chores ^-^) This recent senior year I had a very open mind and wanted to be the best I can be, I even cut my hair so boyish short so my parents could stop degrading on females, and let me just tell ya, they got mad~After senior year I was suppose to be married to another person of my culture, but I cut my hair, which represented woman-hood in our culture. Hehehe this marraige was arranged since I was born. BUT arlene here thought, hmmm, i'm not going to follow my sister's foot-steps and i do wanna go to college to support MYSELF. And that's what I did las...

Stunning New Interracial Romance is Set in the Wilds of Mexico
2007-09-07 02:02:00
Forgive Me My Love, a new book by Dean King, is a stirring love story about a white bounty hunter and a beautiful, pampered black woman. Vivid in scope, and touching on social problems of abuse and HIV, this is an insightful drama about race, revenge, and human relationships. Part action-adventure, part love story, and totally original, Dean King's Forgive Me My Love is a bold, interracial romance that will capture readers' hearts even as it tingles their spines and quickens their pulse.

But they are from two different worlds, and it isn't until they are thrown together during one night of chaos and violence that fate steps in.

King has infused the novel with characters so alive they seem to wa...

Black and Asian romance and arranged marriages
2007-09-05 06:07:00
BY Trudy Simpson A BBC presenter and producer is calling for more research on romantic relationships between black and Asian people, and for more action to help the public get a better understanding of what happens in modern arranged marriages among British Asians and people in their home countries.Speaking on August 14 during an Editor's Forum on relationships and how to choose the right partner, Tanya Datta, who researched the issues, said it was time to shed more light on these two subjects, which sometimes draw dark frowns from some in the respective communities in Britain. Datta said more research on black/Asian couples was needed because statistics do not give enough insight into partnerships between the two communities, which, she said, often worked and lived side by side and had much in common in terms of their fight against racism and post-colonial heritage. research "White people tend to be one of the partners. It is either Asian and white or black and white and the stati...

How Race Relations Touched Me During a Long Lifetime

Interracial Couple Harrassed by Neighbors
2007-08-31 14:28:00
By Mary SheltonLynette Weaver and Larry Stapleton moved to Hemet hoping to live a peaceful life with their children. Instead, what the interracial couple said they have experienced is an ongoing harassment campaign against them by several of their White neighbors.The couple took their complaints to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department's Hemet station and instead of receiving assistance, the couple said they received even more harassment from deputies and supervisors assigned to that station. Weaver and Stapleton have been living in their home in Hemet since 2004 with their children. She is White. He is Black. Together, they are the only interracial family on their street but did not have any serious problems where they lived until several neighbors moved onto the street within the past year. Problems, they said, continued, even as deputies not only told them there was nothing they could do to help them but who, they claim, harassed them."The sheriff's department doesn't wan...

Good to march to the left, but not always

Understandably, you took exception to [Ted] Nugent's behavior. Now you know what the right feels when entertainers from the left spew the same kind of venom at President Bush. . . . When's the last time you wrote a column on the classless behavior from the left? Lord knows you've had ample opportunity." Sir: I understand where you're coming from. No doubt I've criticized conservatives more often than I've ripped liberals in my column -- but I HAVE written negative things about Sean Penn, Rosie O'Donnell, Hillary Clinton, Barbra Streisand and many other liberals when I thought it was warranted. Call me an idealist, but I believe a columnist can be moderate/liberal but not take the company line on every single issue.

Straddling The Color Barrier
2007-08-30 11:21:00
Ernest AdamsImpending daddy-hood, for the first time I might add, has left me with unmitigated happiness and mitigated concerns. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer nearly 13 years ago, so the surreal dances with the real, and as the reality spins in joyous anticipation, I say to myself, with boundless ecstasy, “I am going to be a father in December!”A salient concern I have at this moment is how my interracial child will fit into two communities — black and Jewish — fraught with tension.Before I chose to be a Jew, I had to renegotiate the irrational and rational fears of whites that derived from growing up in a culture permeated by racism — a social cancer, as it were — and disavow the anti-Semitism I imbibed growing up in the black community. An unlikely event occurred: I met Meyer Goldstein, we became as close as brothers and Meyer’s father, Rabbi Baruch Goldstein, virtually adopted me and became a second father. It was the alchemy of the Goldsteins’ love and unc...

Interracial unions more accepted in Canada than U.S.: report
2007-08-29 12:47:00
Shannon Proudfoot Canadians -- particularly those under 35 -- are significantly more accepting of interracial marriage than Americans, according to a new report.While 77 per cent of Americans approved of marriage between blacks and whites in a recent Gallup poll, a report released today by University of Lethbridge sociologist Reginald Bibby shows that 92 per cent of Canadians are in favour of such unions. A similar proportion approve of intermarriage between other ethnic groups.The approval rating climbs to almost 99 per cent among those under age 35.In the mid-1970s, 55 per cent of Canadians approved of marriage between blacks and whites, while 40 per cent of Americans thought the same way. By 1990, 78 per cent of Canadians accepted interracial marriage -- roughly the same proportion as Americans today -- while just 48 per cent of Americans were willing to give their blessing."We see ourselves as not just multicultural but really multi-everything," says Bibby. "Even if people don'...

Increased prevalence of interracial romance
2007-08-20 01:55:00
Since the Supreme Court struck down the last of America’s antimiscegenation laws, the number of interracial marriages has more than tripled. According to the Census Bureau, the number of mixed-race marriages rose from 300,000 in 1970 to 1.2 million in 1990. Between 1960 and 1990, the percentage of African American marriages involving a white spouse more than tripled. Furthermore, according to recent statistics, 65 percent of Japanese Americans marry outside of their race and 75 percent of Native Americans marry someone of a different ethnic background.The incidence of interracial dating among American youth has increased even more dramatically. According to some recent studies, as many as 57 percent of teenagers have dated someone outside of their race. An additional 30 percent have indicated that they would consider dating outside of their race. Many credit the rise in immigration and racial integration, which have increased the amount of contact that young adults have with peopl...

Miscegenation in American history
2007-08-20 01:50:00
Antimiscegenation laws did not keep everyone from crossing the color line. Before the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery, many white slave masters secretly took advantage of black women, with whom they fathered scores of children. Also, not every state had laws prohibiting interracial marriage. Some estimates indicate that as many as 70 percent of African American s are descendants of black and white couplings. Famous African Americans such as W.E.B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and Frederick Douglass were of black and white ancestry. Douglass eventually married a white woman, Helen Pitts, after the death of his first wife. Douglass, one of the most vocal African American activists of the Civil War era, felt that intermarriage was the key to the assimilation and acceptance of the newly freed slaves into American society. According to Douglass, “The future of the Negro therefore is . . . that he will be absorbed, assimilated, and it will only...

Black Women White Men, White Women Black Men - interracial relations

Lynn NormentWHAT'S BEHIND THE ESCALATING TREND?AS we head into the new millennium, marrying mitt dating across cultural lines seem to be increasing at record rates.Almost anywhere you go these days, you will encounter mixed-race couples: at the grocery store, the mall, the theater, at a company function, at: a concert, even at church. And while for years the Black man-White woman couple was more prevalent, today many social observers say that the pairing of Black women and White men is just as common.That certainly seems to be the case in cities such as St. Paul-Minneapolis, where interracial couples long have thrived. But the social trend also is quite evident in other large cities such as Chicago and New York, Atlanta and Detroit, where there is a noticeable and striking increase in the number of mixed-race couples, especially Black women with White mates.In movies, on television and even on Broadway, the theme of interracial love has become en vogue.
