New York's New Mayor, Bill de Blasio, and Interracial Marriage.

Who said interracial marriages can't work or that white men don't even consider black women as partners? The biggest question has been would a white man with his eyes on a political office commit political suicide by marrying a black woman? During the last election, people dug up the fact that Paul Ryan had dated a black woman in college. So, what? Well, every since Bill de Blasio was elected people have become fascinated with his wife, Chirlane. His wife is an African-American woman. No, she isn't Beyoncé. No, she is not Halle Berry. She is a strong, beautiful black woman in her own right. And, her presence at her husband's side says, "Yes, a white man with his eyes on a political office can love and marry a black woman.

Interracial Couple on "The Bachelor"?

"The Bachelorette: Men Tell All" was on last night. I have one note to make about both "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette". After watching the show for years, I am amazed that we have not seen even one interracial couple. I think I remember one black woman making it to the final four on the first show, but never again. No black man has ever made it even that close. I do understand that the show is geared toward Caucasians. However, is it that America is not ready for an interracial couple on the show? You can not make me believe that  out of all these years there was not at least one black person on the show who was just as worthy to make it to the final rose ceremony as the other contestants. I don't know. I just know that I would like to see an African American make it to the final rose ceremony.
