Hi EboniNivory, I am not married yet, but my sister (white) married a black man. I think it kinda depends on where you live. We live in North Alabama and here they get a lot of looks, but for every hateful look there is someone who is nice. They just had their 3rd baby and the kids actually have it much better than you would think (here) everybody talks about how cute and beautiful they are. Now on the other hand our grand-daddy won't have anything to do with us because of it. We haven't been to his house in 4 years. He is lost though so that speaks a lot. He doesn't have unconditional love. Some things are harder, but if he is the man that God sent to you then it will all be fine. And if you get looks, just smile at them and remember that they don't have the unconditional kind of love. I will pray for you and I do believe that you are blessed, you are one that is breaking down walls. And I admire you for that.
Jenna, it's pretty much the same here in North Mississippi. I really can't stand how ppl are like that. I agree with you, if it's the man that God sent you then it's fine. It just depends on the location and the people around you. If I were to do it, I'd get the same amount of looks from both blacks and whites. Just keep in God's will. God bless! ~Missy

I LOOOVEEE BLLAAACKKK PEOOOPLEEEEEEE!!! give you a little Tom Cruise there.. Well, Black White Tan, is my very favorite Nicole song. Mostly because it is near and dear to my heart. I wish it was so near and dear to the rest of the populations heart as well. I just gotta remember that God loves racist, hypocrites too! I am just a black girl, stuck in a white girl body! Though my body, exept for the skin is "built more like a sista", says my old brown friend Keno. I used to be engaged to a beautiful brown man. Life was tough then, some people, family included cant deal. Now, if he had been a wonderful CHRISTIAN brown man, things could have really been awesome! Just know, that as long as you and your man are loving Jesus together, that bond can make you stronger, and able to withstand any kind of earthquake the devil can send you. One thing about kiddos, I think most anyone would admit, mixed children are some of the most beautiful creatures God has ever made, and I think he made them with that advantage for a reason. He knew some might make life a little tougher for them, so they got a little boost on the physical side. Its just like raising any child though, you love them, you teach them, they learn. God protects them. Every child has "issues" or "differences". Good parents raise them accordingly. Just play Nicole C. Mullen Cds day and night, youll all be great!
Ps. I have a wonderful husband now, He does happen to be quite fair! and even redheaded. He is an awesome Jesus serving dude! Who does tend to speak in Ebonics! So, its all good. Jilldawn
I've been married 13 years. He's black (or brown as my kids correct people) and I'm white. We've never had a problem with race issues (lived in OK and AZ). We have 3 beautiful girls who don't have issues either around here. Kids are okay with it. Sometimes they do say "I was the only tan kid there" but people oogle over how beautiful they are. As my husband says though, we don't look for issues. We identify ourselves as Christians first, and don't think of ourselves as race. He's the greatest husband ever!
God Bless the both of you! My husband is black and I am white. We're going on 14 years of marriage. We have a beautiful 8 year old son, and a multi-racial dog, who is a black/white/tan Beagle. We live in a small western suburb of Chicago called Oswego, altough our town is growing, we are currently about 93% white. When we bought our house 2 years ago, we tried to take the racial makeup of our family into consideration, but soon came to the conclusion that, if this was where we wanted to live, and if we were comfortable, nothing else really mattered. We are now enjoying the small town atmosphere, the bicycle trails, and fishing right outside our back door. The people are wonderful, and supportive. My advice to you....always be yourself, and let Jesus be your guide.
