A really good IR BW/NBM movie I happened upon is Unbowed (1999). It is about a Native Amercan chief who is captured as a prisoner of war (along with two of his men). He meets falls in love with a black school teacher from the school he is forced to attend. The storyline is good, the romance is sweet and the ending made me say, "Awwwww..." ;). It is definitely a must watch, especially considering that there are no IR romance movies involving black women and Native American men (at least in my lifetime).

Now that I've calmed down, people are SO ignorant. It's as if they are living in a time warp because obviously they don't know that interracial marriages and the product (children) is an ever-increasing occurrence.They also don't understand there is no way to determine what a biracial/multiracial child looks like. This is so insulting! I'm sorry to hear about what happened to this family and I am glad that his wife snapped set them straight. The backwoods of society need a wake-up call.

Regarding Game of Thrones: I can't STAND Joffrey. He is so full of evil. He plays his character too well to the point where I'd throw a tomatoe at him if I saw him walking down the street. On another note, I am infatuated with John Snow. His chick on the show is funny because she is sarcastic with him but in a loving way. They make a cute couple. On a third note, can't wait for the season finale of Scandal. Last episode was a juicy jaw-dropper.

Well, I had a best friend in high school who I was crushing on a little bit. He came out to me my third year of college.

For those to whom this applies, I'm always curious as to why more black people who have a problem with white/non-black people adopting black children don't adopt black children themselves since they are so concerned about "cultural genocide". I honestly think that these people just want something to complain about instead of stepping up to the plate and taking on the responsibility themselves. I think that a child being reared in a loving home beats 10-21 years in foster care any day.

@Leille not only does it take years to bulk up, it also takes supplements. I have to admit that certain exercises I avoid because I don't want "bulk" however I want strength. Also there are weights used for building muscle (dumbells) and weights used for toning (the little ones which barely feel like they weight anything).

Hi Chris. You look awesome (and you reminded me about that black dress missing from my wardrobe). I'm 5'5 and 125-130 lbs however I have a little gut which I want to get rid of. I definietly know what I need to cut back on (pasta, rice, potatoes, sugar, etc) however it is very difficult.

From what I've observed, curly hair sticks up on babies, whether the baby is black or not. Just because people are adults doesn't mean they are mature. Sandra Rose needs to understand that she is making herself look stupid by criticizing a baby's hairstyle. Her page must not be getting many views.

@CAPT SMOOTH that's exactly what I did. I wrote a list of things I expected in a mate. I didn't put "attractive" because that was a given for me and there was no reason for me to include it. It's true that the chosen one may not meet all of those standards AT THAT TIME. However if he/she meets the basic ones and they are ambitious, the rest should work themselves out.

I just read in the paper today that the trial has begun for four no-good, low life marines who murdered a young married marine couple in 2008. Shocking but not surprisingly, the couple were young wm/bm and the murderers were bm, with the crime being racially motivated. I hope justice is served and the victim's families receive solace and their spirits rest. And for all the people who think that their hatred gives them the right to attack people, or causes them to think that it will stop couples from finding love and pursuing it, may they rot in hell.
