Well, I read as many as I could to see exactly what people are thinking, personally I can't say for certain what she really meant in the video it could be taken many ways. As for me I am an "Afro- American female" who grew up in a predominately white town, I was really confused because a lot of my classmates called me names and picked on me, my mom and dad were people who interacted with Caucasians everyday and respected them as people not a race, so that's how I was being raised,I was so hurt to find out not all people were like my mom and dad, and that the names they were calling me were racist names!!
It was at that time, my parents had to sit down and have a talk with me about the unpleasant reality of racism and what I may face growing up in this world.I learned to try to ignore the ones who were treating me bad because of my ethic background,and continue to have friends that treated me as a human being as they were,however; I must admit once I grew up and had my sons I told them they should date within their race because it's a cruel world out there and still a lot of racist people who would possibly treat them wrong or heaven forbid hurt them!! I didn't say it out of hate but love.Was I wrong for telling them that? yes, I was! and thank goodness my middle son didn't let that stop him from falling in love with a Caucasian girl and I now have 2 bi-racial grandsons and another grandson due in November. I couldn't love her and the kids no more then I do, they are blessings.I almost missed out on that blessing because of how I had been treated at different times by racist people. It does exist ,we have to know that,but we don't have to let it affect those of us who are not.
