Hi, im 25f from the UK and I've stealth followed you for a little while. I've always liked the style of your page and how you talk about interracial sex and relationships. My family isn't overly racist but they are somewhat "old-fashioned" and uncomfortable with race mixing and immigration. I just wanted to say that I've started dating someone and your blog + blogs like yours helped me feel more confident about going my own way and not conforming to what my family expect of me.
“Stealth followed”, that’s some cute phrasing. You like to check in every now and then, have a private moment with one of my posts, but never leave a trace out of shyness. I don’t use traffic tracking on this blog, so I wonder how many others like you there are.
Your family situation is probably quite typical for the conservative milieu today. Nobody wants to be racist. Even the KKK claims to not be racist (just heritage, man!). But even though we’re totally not racist, can everyone please stop talking about how Black lives matter and oh my, I hope my daughter doesn’t bring home a Black man. That’s just about their attitude, right? It’s not just transparently dishonest, but also a major turn-off in terms of how feeble it is.
It’s easy to flatter yourself about the power of your own words when things seem to be going your way. And while blogs like mine may have influenced you to some extent, I think the bigger motivator was the complete absence of a compelling case from the other side. Whiteness just seems out of fashion and unsexy and I’ve never read anything that would suggest otherwise. I’m guessing you haven’t either. When we make decisions about what our future families should look like, this plays a major role, and it sounds like you’ve chosen the future!
It’s fascinating how quickly this sentiment has taken hold, too. I’m just slightly older than you and I vaguely remember a time in the late 90s when interracial imagery wasn’t present at all. It started picking up steam at some point in the 2000s and has become absolutely irresistible since then, which speaks to the power of interracial love and the inherent sexiness of race mixing. We’re lucky enough to be young and nubile while this expansion of consciousness is taking place.
As for your family, I’m sure they’ll come around. They were probably cracking openly racist jokes in 1983, which they would never admit to today, and are just about ready to drop the apprehensiveness about mixed-race grandchildren if their daughter or granddaughter were to confidently declare that this is the way it’s going to be. You’re going to be just fine; follow your heart and do what you know is right.
Africanization isn’t so much about violent subjugation or race war, which always produces opposition and polarization, but the natural attraction between Black and white bodies that will inevitably lead to a Black future for those societies that choose to interact in any way with the world at large, which is increasingly African by virtue of differential birth rates. Racists fear this future, but you and I know that they are wrong: it’s a future defined by true love and passion and I’m happy to hear you’re taking an active part in it.
