Some people feel that inter-racial relationships can fall under the description of a form
of genocide on the Black race. What is your opinion?
I guess it could be looked upon in that way. I look at it like this...as long as one
parent is black so are the children. The only time genocide takes place is when that
child/children is not taught about her race, roots and ancestors. That is when the killing
of our race begins.

If we look at this inter-racial act in a spiritual light, in which I believe all aspects
should take, God strategically placed people of many nations across thousands of plains to
build different cultures.

I believe that the key word here is "deliberate". To suggest that interracial
relationships are tantamount to "genocide" would have us believe that
Euro-Americans around this country are making conscious decisions to
"infiltrate"/date/mate the African American race so as to
".....deliberately and systematically destroy it". Quite the
contrary.......interracial dating, in my opinion, involves personal decisions made by both
parties involved. However, I'm sure that there are those of us who not only believe that
the idea of interracial dating does not constitute genocide........we might take it one
step further and say that it's SUICIDE......e.g., to deliberately and systematically
destroy one's own racial, political, or cultural group. And that's not Webster; that's me.

Actually, inter-racial marriages, and their subsequent offspring, is genocide to the white
race. White people are scared to death that their race will be erased off the face of the
earth. Why do you think that in addition to the normal self-hatred and propaganda agenda
(toward and against people of color), they, the white race, are struggling to have more
children through fertilization tactics and more recently, cloning? Also, why are they
trying to reclassify certain races as caucasoid that was once considered negroid (e.g. the
Australian Aborigine)? And let us not forget that here in America, the attempt to add
multiracial as a category for the national census that will further whittle away at the
growing number of people of color. One writer estimates that 75% to 85% of those
considered "African American" would check multiracial. White people fear the day
that the people of the earth will be a dark almond color through increased race mixing.

I believe that "Jungle Fever" can fall into that category simply because as a
young, single black woman who loves Black men, there is nothing quite as beautiful as
Black Love. It should be embraced by all shades of our blackness and left alone and pure
to thrive.
