Why should color define love?
As a young girl I was raised colorblind. Being a young child came with innocence and purity. It was like a shield from all the hateful labels and hatred acts that the world considered normal. I grew up with friends of all ethnicities. Who shared different backgrounds and beliefs.
Some were Black, White, Indian, Mexican, etc. But I noticed early that I was interested in diversity,which eventually led to interracial relationships. I suppose it was the beauty of various mixtures of races loving one another, without the care of discrimination from the world. As I got older it seemed as if my group of friends became one classification. Caucasian or white to most. Because of the race I mostly surrounded myself with, and because I carry myself like a proper and educated young lady, I tend to get judged. It has been stated that I 'm a disgrace to my own race, a traitor, preppy, or a want to be white girl. All of these hurtful descriptions made me question myself, was I really acting as if I didn 't want to claim or support my own race? Or was the world trying to separate me, from setting all odds aside and loving all; no matter what color they were? Time passed and I began turning those negative comments into positive ideas. Why should love be limited to one race?
It was my 8th grade year when I noticed I was attracted to other races, specifically
Caucasians. At that time, it was mostly common for an African American males
