text: why does race matter so much?? my fiance is black...im white. i live in the midwest. my town isnt really hick-ish, st.l is 2hours away. mixed relationships are very common in big cities, but my town is 45,000 ish. i dont care that some people arent accepting. i love him and i could care less. it just urks me tht people that i grew up with call him the n word and choose to not be around him just because his skin is dark. input please??? negative or positive! i don't think it matters. it isn't the color of the person that makes them, it is how they are on the inside. my own personal saying to anybody that has a problem with race is "if we were all blind, we would get along so much better." hang in there and don't let anybody tell you how to live your life...it is just that...your life!!! good luck and many happy years together!!!
