SOCIAL SCENE-Interracial Couples

SOCIAL SCENE IS ABOUT YOU AND ME.

It is about what in society concerns us. What are the issues that people just LOVE TO fight about, strike about, write the president about! In this particular post, every week we will discuss topics that may do just that..disgust you. Some, you may find your freedom in. Some you may just be tired of discussing. Either way, it will ALWAYS be something pertinent to the way we think and live.

The topic for today is...INTERRACIAL COUPLES!

Yep! this is still a high topic in society today. I work at an attraction site. People come from all over the world to get there and I have to say, I have seen all shapes, sizes, creeds and complexions. I have a great time people watching in between my "shows"! I have also seen the looks of many of YOUR faces as "certain couples" (and their kids) pass you by.

Now, please know that interracial couples are not limited to white and black people. I've seen, black and Chinese, White and Chinese, Indian and Hispanic! Along with other cultures mixed in as well. People are people! To those of us who know and understand that. The creator (whoever you believe in) made us all, for whatever reasons he had in mind. We are all made with the same organs as other cultures, same amount of items IE. two hands, two eyes, etc. (generally speaking). Basically, we all have the same genetic makeup that make us human. SO, WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL!!! The heart loves who it loves, who it is drawn to. How you act upon it is another thing!

And what is it to you anyway if your best friend is dating in a cultural pool that you don't? What about your friends happiness, ESPECIALLY if the person they are with is nice, "normal" and treats the person well. One should hope that you would at least be happy for them! Love, TRUE LOVE, genuine love is a hard thing to come by in this world. (I'm over 40, single and never been married!) It's too many selfish, game playing people out here. Too many people have ill motives for wanting to have mates. For money, convience, control, whatever! They want mates for reasons except for real love. (I'll write about that in my Men, Women & Children Column, seeing as How I have strong thoughts about this. Stay Tuned) Moving on,

For all of the mean and sick minded people out here, I think some people SHOULD HAVE TO STAY BY THEMSELVES!!! But why should nice, decent people who are seeking love and companionship be denied that honor just because they are different shades, from different cultural, educational or financial backgrounds? I know I first started talking about interracial couples, but people deny themselves and others, a great opportunity to be with someone special because of the other reasons mentioned as well.

Family members and friends don't like that your partner is not making the kind of money or have the kind of job that they think your mate should have. They don't like your partners looks, views on life, raising kids, politics whatever! It could be that they liked your last partner better! Or it could be that one of your "friends" want you for themselves. Hmm! NOW THERE'S A THOUGHT!

Whatever the reason is, your family and friends diss (direspect) the person AND YOU, ignoring all of the other great attributes about them! What about when the person is not as academically educated as you? Would you be ashamed to take them around your high academically achieving colleagues, brothers or sisters? DO YOU TAKE THEM around your high academically achieving colleagues, brothers or sisters? What about your Mom and dad? Do you take them around your parents and what kind of couple are your parents anyway? Do they represent the kind of cultural relationship that you are in or think about being in? And is that your limit?

Today I have a poem for this occasion.

Remember! Whenever you see "INSPIRATION STATION"

in my posts, an appropriate poem is sure to follow.

"INSPIRATION STATION"

CHOCOLATE and VANILLA

a POEM BY: MEETTA

Chocolate & Vanilla...

are two flavors that go well together.

They tend to compliment each other.

One is exciting and bright , the other dark and sensually sweet. A desire.

It creeps up on you, holding you tight like a cherished lover, late in the night.

A favorite desert...

is really not what I am talking about.

Haven't you yet figured that out ?

Interracial lovers, fighting against the odds to be true to their own hearts.

They find contentment entangled in each other arms.

Sometimes, just being in each others presence.

Growth comes from commitment, their spirituality and intelligence.

Intimacy comes when they are swirled together, but...

even when they are apart, they are thought of as one!

Some people choose just one flavor...

Some people like them both... together.

chocolate AND vanilla.
