Are you running with me Jesus? If pictures are worth a thousand words, the image of affection ought to be worth a whole book. Here's a real survivor who proves that a hunk can be a gentleman, and a gorgeous 'hombre' can be a perfect grad. He also shows the folly of taboo, the silliness to think that simple human relationships are crimes, or that affection is somehow scandalous. It's the same old song. If you don't know me by now .... you might as well forget about church bells (or world peace, for that matter.)
| True love is defined by who we are on the inside not by the color of our skin. True love and endearing love found only within. Love sees no color; it should not be a factor at all. True love is hard to come by, and if you are lucky to find that one special person who makes you happy and makes your heart smile from the inside, it shouldn't matter if they are black, white, tan or blue, what matters most is how they make you feel, and if they are good to you. True love sees no color; it's what's on the inside that counts. Sadly it's society that has planted the seed that two people from different ethnicities is not the way that it should be. It is sad that this divide even exists, because think of how many opportunities of true love between two different races were sadly missed. You look at the person from the inside, not what's on the out, true love sees no color, it's the soul that really counts. |

The pitting of black women against white women produced suspicions and rivalries that affected the nineteenth century abolitionist movement, the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, and the women's movement. Likewise, white Southerners' attitudes toward sexuality, sexual predation, the South's devotion to the ideal of "pure white womanhood" -- all had profound repercussions on the region and the rest of the country during slavery, Reconstruction, and the century of rigid racial segregation that followed. Yet these suspicions and rivalries, these attitudes and acts, were largely ignored in the popular press of the day and were long consigned to the shadows of history. Even today, they are seldom publically discussed.
Sex, nonetheless, has always been inextricably entwined with race and racism. "[At] the heart of the American race problem the sex factor is rooted, rooted so deeply that it is not always recognized when it shows at the surface," declared James Weldon Johnson, the noted black poet, writer, and civil rights leader. "...[T]he race situation will continue to be acute as long as the sex factor persists." [p26] |
