Study claims that black people in Britain are disappearing because of Interracial Relationships.

I love gossip and i love reading websites like Perez Hilton and Mediatakeout. Well today on mediatakeout i read about a study done in the UK that claims that because interracial relationships are on the rise so much that black people in the UK may be indanger of disappearing. According to the study one in ten children born in the UK belong to a family of mixed-race. I thought the article was kind of interesting. If the study is correct that would be a shame. I of course have nothing against interracial relationships because i date interracially, but having a whole race of people disappear would suck. I like that everyone is so diverse and different if everyone was exactly the same then things would be boring, so lets hope that their study is incorrect. I really wasnt planning on posting anything today but i had some time.

Happy MLK Day


I know it's early but i probably won't be able to get online tomorrow, so i wanted to make sure that this got posted though

Oreos


Ok i want to touch on the subject of "oreos" no not the cookie even though they taste damn good lol, but the subject of some black people acting what is considered to be white and acting what some people consider to be black. I love watching videos on youtube and i came across one from this guy who i think has very strong beliefs but i don't agree with the majority of them.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_z14FLZWp4&feature=channel_page
According to XTXTER black people are sellouts if they talk white and embrace the "European" culture because it's not natural and your not embracing black culture. I totally disagree he even goes on to say that talking white which i suppose he's refering to speaking proper english wont's get you farther in life, I think he needs a WAKE UP call! That man must be about 22 years old and he hasn't figured out the fact that when you go on a job interview people don't want to hire some one speaking slang they would probably hire the person that's "acting white". I get the you act white comment often but how the hell can you act a color!!? Mmm maybe next i"ll act orange. I get kind of annoyed when people make comments like those because for me at least the way i act is just who i am, and it's been influenced by my family, friends, and they way i think i should carry my self. What is acting black, is it using slang, using the n-word, not doing well in school? WTF is it because if that's what people consider acting black then they need to realize that isn't a positive thing. I found a youtube post about a girl who has the same issue being labeled an oreo and i think she makes very good points in her video so check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGk5wyEIxgk

I DON'T hate myself NOR do i hate my race.

i know that from reading my previous post one person commented and said that the reason i don't date black men is because of self hate and it isn't just a preference. In my opinion that statement is incorrect because i have friends that are black males and even though we might hangout together i'm just not atttracted to them. It's like another black person saying "oh i only date blacks" i don't see a problem with that statement either, if that's who makes you happy and if thats your attraction then that's good for you. I don't hate anyone and i would like to think that i have respect for everyone and all our cultural differences. I also wanted to add that if anyone wass offended by the picture on my previous post i wanted to let you know that i don't see black men in that way i was showing an example of how some people believe black men to be because of the medias portrayel of them.
