The Interracial Coming

These past weeks we've been talking about the Harlem Renaissance and how there was a, shall I say, "come up" of the number of interracial couples. Though the couples, or the romance amongst a white and black person, may have been only underground, why was it that the interracial couples had the tendency to be a white male and black female? In 2009 there was a census conducted about the racial relationship statuses. In 2009,  there were 354,000 White female/Black male and 196,000 Black female/White male marriages and the White female/Black male relationship is twice as likely to end in divorce in comparison to the Black female/White Male relationship. Now, during this generation whenever I do see a a child of an interracial couple that is White female/ Black Male I do notice the father or mother is not in the picture, whereas me, a child of a mother who is black and a father who is Italian have both in the picture. With witnessing these relationships first and second hand on a day to day basis raises the question "WHY???" The why is for, "Why on earth is there such a significant difference between the relationships that are practically composed of the same thing?" So that's what's been going through my mind during this past week, but until next time folks, hasta luego.
