    Still a long way from “marrying one” IMO. Now if he remarries a Black woman, THAT would really show how far he has come…

      You don’t have to marry one to show how far you have come.   People who don’t marry out of their race aren’t inherently racist.

        Agreed.

        And likewise, people who get involved/marry outside their race aren’t inherently open-minded and progressive. Sometimes the reason is as lousy as fetishization or ‘make mommy and daddy angry’.

    Years ago in Los Angeles I was engaged to marry a political refugee from Asia, and he happened to be very dark though not African-American.  He was a brilliant and accomplished man, too honorable to marry until he had proved himself capable of earning citizenship entirely on his own.  But he was treated like dirt by so many people who weren’t even fit to tie his shoes.
