IS IT WRONG TO DATE OUTSIDE OF YOUR RACE?


Today my father had a discussion with me and my sisters about dating outside of our race. My family are all black americans, and my father believes that no one should date anyone outside of their race. He mainly just doesn't want my sisters and I to date a caucasion male because of the bad experiences I guess he has had in his life. Such as when trying to get a job the boss seems to pick a light skinned person or a caucasion person before choosing him or any other dark skinned person. Now my sister and I (not my baby sister shes only 3) strongly believe that it is more than ok to date anyone no matter what color he or she is as long as the person has a good heart. I know that God put us all here on earth for a special reason, and he didn't plan for us to isolate our selves from others just because of their skin color. He want us all to love one another and to treat each other equally as we would want to be treated. To tell you the truth too is that no matter what color you are, everyone has done something wrong. Such as backstabbing people in the back, talking behind someone's back, lieing to others, and the list goes on. No one is innocent when it comes to those things. It is such a shame that some people would even waste their time worring about little things like that because everyone has a right to date or do whatever he or she wants to do. It's your life and at the end of the day you have to live with the consequences. My fellow bloggers what do you guys think? Is it really wrong to date outside of your race?

DYING TO BE A RED HEAD


For the past two years I have been trying to dye my hair red with semi-permanent dyes. I was never interested in dying my hair with permanent hair colors because of the damage it comes along with the process. Since my hair is naturally jet black, the semi-permanent dye would never show. I was so determined with getting my hair red that I tried almost every semi-rinse there was to try. I was becoming obssessed with being a red head. Later as I did more research on semi-permanent dyes I found out that the dye doesn't lighten your hair. The main reason was it doesn't contain any developer, peroxide, or ammonia in the product. The semi rinse is mainly good for those who are darkening their hair. It made me so angry because my hair was already dark enough as is. One day I went to Sally's Beauty Supply store and met a woman name Rhonda who basically explained to me that I was most likely going to have to use a permanent dye to get the results I want. After all those years I spent trying to avoid permanent dyes, it broke my heart to know that I had no choice but to do so. Finally I gave in and decided to use one and guess what? The color still didn't come out as bright as I wanted it to, but you can still see the color. I guess I'm satisfied with the color, well for now.
