The Color of Love
Categories: In the News , Staff Picks , African American
It is hard enough in today's world to find someone to love, but when you cross racial lines, there are additional issues and problems. Will your family reject you and your mate, will friends disappear, will strangers stare and judge you? How will this affect your children together? Just what is it that attracts you to the mate that you choose? Kalina M. Craig-Henderson's book, Black Men in Interracial Relationships: What's Love Got to do with It , addresses these issues and more from the viewpoint of black men. She interviewed 25 black men in depth to find out why they entered into interracial relationships. What she found is that love comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Sometimes you just love someone in spite of all the issues.
