Bring Me Home A Black Girl

In this story Edwards states that blacks make their children marry other blacks. As stated in the story Edwards interviewed a black family and the kids said that they were "definitely not to marry" any white girls. This is something that i have a big isssue with. I have had a couple of white girlfriends and if my mother would have installed in my brain not to do so then maybe i would have not. But my parnets did no such thing. This is so wrong its unbelievable. But i do see the other side of this argument. Families want to keep their culture. So they do not beleive in marrying outside their race. I think you can still keep the same cultures and if not so what, a parent should never teach their child not to marry someine if a different race thats racism in my eyes. The story also states one reason why people want to stay with the same race marriges is so that the religion and shared vaules can be the same and again i think that they can still be the same.
