Love and Sex: Whats race got to do with it?

In this article Van Kerckhoven wrote an article on Interracial Relationship. the reason i think she wrote this was to let people know that just cause you are of different color does not mean you can not be together. The writer is using very clear wording. She pointed out that racism has nothing to do with dating.
You don't have to be of the same color to date. Her words are strong and meaningful. The tone she gave in the article was a angry and tired.
She was apparently tired and mad about the stereotypes and prejudice comments on interracial relationships. The article I believe was mostly on prejudice. The way she put her words and her tone.
It had a lot of meaning to the way she wrote her article.
I completely agree with her. I believe that love is a feeling there are no rules. You don't have to be a certain color to be in love or have inter relationships. Be who you want be with. Date who you want to date.

Racsim

I believe everyone is equal just because there skin is a different color does not make them any different. I've been called names and teased just because I was Native American. Despite the fact that I have a different skin color and culture, but I am still the same human being. I have the same organs, same color blood, and I was born and raised on this earth. In my vocabulary there is no such word as different.
My names Taylor James I am a Native American from the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin and here is my story of racism.
It was my third year in volleyball, I was in the ninth grade when we went to a Caucasian school for or first game of the season. When we got to the school I was talking to some of my friends at the school and a bunch of girls come walking in and rolled their eyes at my team I thought nothing of it so when it came time to play I was excited to play my first game. While we were playing I heard some girls in the bleachers yelling "Go back to where you came from". Now I was very angry and I did not have my head in the game I just keep thinking of what that girl was saying over and over. Soon after the game I went to the girls and asked what they wanted, they did not say anything. So what i did was i told there principle. The girls soon learned that we are not any different and apologized to my team and were no longer allowed at any of the games that were against Native American schools.
Those that had read this and that also as been through the same experience don't let anyone tell you that you are different. Because I believe that everyone is equal.
