People are ugly

Something that has bugged me for the longest time and just was brought to my attention again unfortunately. Is who I'm dating and the color skin of my amazingly, humble, smart and out spoken boyfriend Jesse Michael. This seems to be a problem that bugs a lot  people. Especially some of my Native and African American brothers and sisters. I'm told I'm  "betraying" them because I'm not dating someone of my own race or ethnicity. It makes me feel so angry and sad. Aren't these the same exact things we've fought for?!? It's almost to easy to be nasty,but I just ask them what does me having a white boyfriend do with you and your life? Nothing. I'm sorry that you can't see beyond skin color. I have that freedom because of our ancestors, I have the freedom to be whoever and do whatever because of them and I'm most grateful. But having to not feel like you're not Native enough or Black enough. Or you're a real Native American if you only date another Native and vice versa with Black it's just fucking sad but I'm so happy and love always prevails. Looks like we still have a ways to go yet. But I love you baby!!!
