Comment in question re: The Two Races of Tennessee Written by Dyoshot , on 25-09-2001 16:57 58.4 in reply to 58.3 Dear Mr. Landrith, First, I want to thank you for writing all your great and inspiring articles. It gives me hope when I think about my girlfriend. You see, I am 18, and my girlfriend is 17. No big deal? Well, she is white, and I am black, and her parents have a problem with that. They have forbade her from seeing me, so we sneak around and talk on the phone everynight. Some people ask me why I sneak around and deal with a girl I can't see, or that I should stop being so disrespectful to her parents by dating their daughter behind their back. I've even had my own sister tell my how repugnant my current actions are. Sometimes I wonder if all the stress is worth it too, but I love her, and I think it's worth it. We have gone a year through this already, and we are still running strong. I know that times change, people change, and their is a chance that we won't be together forever, but if our relationship can stand the test of time I hope to start my life with her. We have tried to tell her parents before, but when they found out they couldn't understand. We want to wait until she turns 18 so she can legally make her own decisions. Am I wrong? Do you think me dating her without her parents consent is wrong even though we don't have sex and just want to be together? Regardless, thank you again for writing all your inspiring articles. I have found myself on mutiracial.com reading your old articles all the time. Sincerely, Jay P.S. anyone else's opinions are just as much welcome.
