American Preacher Refuses To Marry Black & White Because God Hates Race Mixing

My mouth hung open as I watched this video said to have been recorded just last year of Brother Donny Reagan of The Happy Valley Church of Jesus Christ in Tennessee. The preacher rails against interracial marriage and mixed race children using the examples of Black athletes wanting to marry white women. He ranted;

“Today we have so much fussing and stewing about this segregation of white and colored and everything. Why don’t they leave it alone? Let it be the way God made it. There is a move in the message, of blacks marrying whites, whites marrying blacks. And folks think that is alright."

Django Unchained Star Daniele Watts Detained For Public Sex With Her White Boyfriend

Daniele Watts, a hollywood actress who played the role of a slave house maid in Django Unchained, was detained briefly by police officers after she was allegedly caught having sex with boyfriend, Brian James Lucas, in the passenger seat of their car on Sept. 11.

Reports say when the police arrived at where the couple were and asked for her ID, the actress went off on them, accusing them of being racist. The actress asked the police, "Do you know how many times we’ve been stopped because I’m black and he’s white?"

This was heard in an audio recording obtained by TMZ, Danielle is over heard telling Sgt. Jim Parker, "It's my right to sit on the f–king street corner and make out with my boyfriend."

I wonder, should she have just given her ID and saved herself the stress? And public sex is still illegal whether one is black or white, right?

Dear Myne - I'm African-American And My Nigerian (Igbo) Man Won't Introduce Me to His Mother

Hello Myne,

I have been following your blog for a short time and I found you because I am dating a Nigerian Igbo man and was curious about his culture.  I would like to post a question on your blog for some responses. Here is my story:

I been dating my Igbo guy for 11 months and he has been everything that I wanted in a guy.  He communicates with me daily via text/call, we see each other at least 2-3 times a week depending on our work schedule.  Last what I love the most is whatever he says he's going to do he does it. If I need anything he's there. He does not say I love you often, but he greets me with a kiss every time I see him and he does show affection so I am ok with that.

However my issue is in the 11 months I have known him I have not been to his house, or met any of his family.  I know that he works and what he does, but I don't know where it is located. His mother lives with him right now and he has shared with me that his mother wants him to marry and African woman because his brother married a Jamaican woman and since his parents were in Nigeria at that time they had no say on it.

Blast From The Past - Jack Johnson And The History of Interracial Marriage in America

Jack Johnson was the first black heavyweight boxer of the world back in the early 1900's. He had three white wives, and refused to date a black woman. He was arrested and jailed for being with these white women and was recommended to be lynched for marrying them.

Johnson was married three times. All of his wives were white, a fact that caused considerable controversy at the time. In January 1911 Johnson married Etta Terry Duryea. A Brooklyn socialite, their romantic involvement was turbulent. Beaten several times by Johnson and suffering from depression, she committed suicide in September 1912.

Less than three months later, on 4 December 1912, Johnson married Lucille Cameron, a young prostitute. After Johnson married Cameron, two ministers in the South recommended that Johnson be lynched. Cameron divorced him in 1924 on the grounds of infidelity. The next year Johnson married Irene Pineau; also white.

Why I Date Mostly White Women - Black Male Blogger Explains His Interaccial Dating Choices

By Ernest Baker

Why do I date white women? Black women have told me it's because I'm a sellout. The white men who can get past the mental anguish of my black penis tarnishing "their" women think I'm making some latent admission that their race has the most attractive women.

White women range from those so intrigued by black men that it veers into fetish to those so reluctant to date black men that it feels more racist than preference-driven. These are generalizations, of course, but they are attitudes that I've personally encountered. Skepticism towards black men/white women relationships is a longstanding and well-documented part of our cultural fabric in America.
