I'm a raw and living foodest. For those of you who are unfamiliar with what that is I only eat foods that have not been cooked. I do this because it maintains all of the nutrients and enzymes intact and is much healthier. I'm not here to try to convert anyone. I think you can reach maximum health by eating all kinds of foods fixed all kinds of ways. This is simply my life choice. What I'm here to do is help educate people as to what is happening to thier food. Did you know that the pharmaceutical companies have lobbied to have a law voted on called "Codex Aimentarius" that will take away our freedom to take suppliments? It has already been implemented in Europe. Of course it is still ok for them to put steroids, antiboitics and harmones in our foods. Have you wondered why there is a great influx of people acting aggressively and out of character? I'm here to help guide you through this mess. If you want to eat meat...eat meat...just get chemically free meat. I'm here to help you understand what is happening to you.

WHY is it ok for black guys to date caucasian chicks but it's not ok for black ladies to date caucasian guys.

Where did you hear that? I see people all over the place/ guys w/girls, girls w/guys. I don't even notice anymore whose with whom. What's important here is chemistry/love. If you strike it up w/someone and feel an attraction I think everything else is elementary. The fact of the matter is there is no such thing as "race" in the first place. We are all descended from a South African bushman tribe called the Le San. We have all be genetically traced to them. There is not a human being on this planet that can't trace their genealogy back to them. There have been scientific studies that prove this and they have been put into a documentary called "Journey of Man". You can purchase it on line from PBS for $29 or you can wait for it to air again. They've also put it into book form. It explains how some of us ended up lighter skinned than others. Just keep in mind there is no such thing as race. This is just an illusion we seem to choose to live with. I personally choose not to to live by the illusion.


Now to answer your question: in some areas of our country there has been a stigma which makes it looked down upon for a darker (black) skinned woman to date a lighter(white) skinned man. I think this may be because of what happened during slavery in this country. Back in those days the male owner of the plantation would take female slaves on his plantations as mistresses. They'd sometimes set them up in their own homes, their own servants/slaves, and would use them for only one reason. There are many stories of women who fell in love w/these men, had children with them and thought it possible they would even marry them, but of course this never happened, at least not openly. These women died being looked down upon by both races. Now for black males, after the war, it was looked upon as a status symbol if he were to be able to have a white woman at his side. As a matter of fact I think up until the 60's it was still on the books in many states that it was against the law for a white person to develop a romantic relationship w/a black person regardless of gender. There were people who have been arrested, in those days, for that very thing. The point here being the different set of rules that were set up because of the circumstances of those times. I think that in many cases people have lost sight of where these stigmas have come from and are reacting to feelings that have been handed down. For this very reason I think it is important for us to ignore those feelings and not pay any attention to those who express them. These are people who are stuck in their feelings of fear and they are to be pitied, not encouraged. If there is someone who you have special feelings for and they have them for you than there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to explore them to see if this person isn't the one for you. I have included some websites below for you to explore. Good luck to you!

This is where you can purchase one of the most amazing books ever written "Jubilee", by Dr. Margaret Walker. I feel strongly about this book. I feel that if "Gone with the Wind" is on required reading lists than so should this book. It's an amazing true story about a young woman who was born into slavery.

This is a synopsis of a PBS documentary about a black male boxer in the early 1900s who married white women. He was highly publicized and I think this is one of the places where it was treated as if it was a status symbol.
