Oak Lawn, Illinois
I am white. My first marriage was to a black man, which ended in divorce but not because of racial issues. I have a 15 yo son from this marriage who is the light of my life. My current husband (Hispanic) and I have been together 10 years and he adopted and adores our son as much as I. Racial unity has always been my passion. I could never understand why we just can't see each other as one -- human.

I'm a 54-year old supposedly African-American woman though in fact I, like most black Americans, have a mixed genetic heritage. I can identify African, English and Narragansett Indian forbears. My husband is supposedly white. We completely ignore these labels and, except for the duration of the O.J. Simpson trial, when we argued practically every day, race is not a noticeable factor in our lives.

I am 26 years old, from Germany and now living in the U.S. My fiance is African American and when we met I didn't think that much about it - well I had to think again. When I first came to the States, I was clueless regarding all the "race issues". This does not mean that there are no "issues" in Europe, they are just very different. Hopefully I will learn more from our discussions!
