My beautiful East African friend is glowing. She has a new guy who seems to be making her really happy.
Just today,I got a call from her. She was so upset,almost sad.
Then she sent me a screenshots of a terrible online abuse she had to face for having a guy that is not her skin color.
I asked her for approval to share it with you guys,and she said I should go ahead because message and point we try to make is very clear: Love is really all that matters.
Check this out:
It upsets me that to some people we are still nothing but a color,whether black or white, or maybe a tribe. Or any other similar superficial category.
Common people,are we not all just human beings,all of us created by the same hand of the very same Almighty God,no matter how we choose to call Him??
And that same God is Love.
Pure Love.
Put GOD before religion and HUMANITY before division.
I personally don't give a damn about such a foolish stereotypes and I can not entertain them even though my husband and I face very similar kind of a "thing" from time to time as well .
All I can tell you guys......Follow your heart and always be with the person that makes your heart smile the most. Does not really matter if he/she is from your village or from other part of the world.
BTW...
Let me share a picture of this beautiful ,young couple :
Aren't they looking hot together?
they look beautiful together
ReplyDeleteHOT COUPLE! bad belle pipo dont mind them jare
ReplyDeleteWow! Shame on them.Why they keep bringing us back to slavery? We are all humans. Btw,girl is very sexy,real African beauty and guy is handsome too
ReplyDeleteSo much bitterness, Internet trolls are ruthless. I know this lady,she is from Kenya,my country and she is very popular socialite. They look good together in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteher name is Lily Corazon
ReplyDeleteyes thats her name
DeleteWhats her ig handle? I want to spy small hehe
DeleteIs dat butt real tho?
Deletenawaoooo some ppl sef. dont mind them dear... see hips! choi! fine girl
ReplyDeleteI like the way they look together. They would make pretty babies
ReplyDeleteSome people can only mind other people's budget in life. Wetin concern u? Is she ur sister or daughter? Will this matter pay ur bills? Useless ppl. Mchwww
ReplyDeleteAww Sonis I love you for being such a beautiful person on the inside. Love is all that matters. Fuck racism
ReplyDeleteBy the way,they really match each other well. Her shape is so nice. Kudos
ReplyDeleteThey are a Power couple!When i hear or read such messages i relate very well to my situation.Am kenyan my partner is a Nederlander my dad doesn't talk(The last time we spoke the conversation didn't go so well that's a burden I turned over to God) to me because according to him An African man best suits me and had suggestions of a few men whom he thought would be good for me.I followed my Heart and I have no regrets whatsoever.At the end of the day it's all about you,your feelings,your life,marriage and partner don't let anyone or anything distract or drain you from following your true feelings and self!
ReplyDeleteGod bless u dear . U are a brave strong woman and I think u did right. I mean if I was u I would do the same. I think its selfish to expect from ppl we love and care about not to follow their hearts. love is the purpose of life and its colorblind.
DeleteAwwwww. God is ur strength
DeleteThanks Hildajack.It's unfortunate that those you hold dear as your support system end up not supporting you but life must go on I just thank God I have an understanding partner and In-laws because after explaining to them everything they didn't freak out and they instantly accepted me with all the problems I was going through.One thing people should learn to be more open with such scenario because if you hide it from your partner it will one day cone out in a very unexpected and embarrassing manner.
DeleteWow. Thank u so much for sharing this dear. You are blessed !
DeleteDankjewel(Thank you)@Nothingbutjpy
DeleteI follow Lily on Instagram and I think she is a close friend to Mrs Ogbonna (I saw some pictures of them together) . She is gorgeous tho.
ReplyDeletePeople's stupidity and ignorance pains me.
ReplyDeleteAre this two illiterates commenting rubbish related to this girl in nay way? smh why u go carry other person's matter on top ur head ?
ReplyDeleteWe are fucking sad generation i swear. bitterness n hearted. we do need jesus
ReplyDeleteBastards
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with mixed couples again? Some people are really just miserable and evil
ReplyDeleteI really don't comment on blogs but this has got to be said. No, I do not condone the comments pictured above but it is laughable to think racism will end if we just loved each other, I also find it funny when people or couples say 'we don't see colour'. Well, you do.. you just chose not to acknowledge it and that's okay.
ReplyDeleteIt is easier to say 'we are all one' when we have some sort of privilege. White privilege is real; it's frustrating when you're black living in a white man's world. I have thought about being with a white man to make my life 'easier' to get that house or car at a more affordable price.. etc. But, I realised that I will have a black child; said child will be seen as black even if he/she is mixed; will be subjected to the struggles of black people (maybe on a lighter side) by resists.
It is not self hatred to love someone who is of a different race. You can be pro-black and be loved up by someone of a different race. The first black woman who attended an all white school is still on this earth; that alone says a lot. (I digress) anyways....
I repeat again.. racism won't end if we all just loved each other. As lovely as it would be it's not going to happen. There is an interracial couple out there who are against same sex marriage forgetting that at some point in time being with their significant other was considered a crime punishable by law.
There really is a lot to say about this topic..... but I'm hungry soo bye.
I am married to my husband for past 6 years and we are from different parts of the world,different colors and all. And ,personally I don't think or feel like we are any "different" just because of our different skin tones. there is no race matter in our life. At all! I don't need to fake a thing i am being very honest and im here to share my opinion based on my own experience . And every person's experience is different so you can't Say things "in general". I agree,U can't change the world,but u can create a lil world on ur own and choose what will be important in there and what will not mean a thing.. Just saying.
DeleteYes, I shouldn't have generalised. No, there shouldn't be a difference as it should be. Love doesn't care about race, tribe, sexual orientation etc.
DeleteAll I'm saying is that we all know that we are treated differently due to our race. Yes, like you said creating a safe haven is best. But, it still doesn't stop the outside world from being mean.
All I'm saying is that we need to acknowledge/ point out that certain people are more "privileged" than others and such is life. Kim K received hate mails when she got with Kanye. All she did was fall in love with someone who's black.
But then again, is creating a safe haven the best way to go about this, I mean, don't get me wrong it's the right thing to do but do you when you step outside that world one has created for themselves? What does one do when your child comes home from school crying cos they've been racially abused?
Not trolling, these are legit questions.
Also, not just talking about interracial couples or mixed children. Talking about POC in general.
DeleteI get ur point totally. Cruel world. So much anger and hatred. I think the best answer you can give to the world,individually,between u n yourself,is love. That's just my own personal "weapon" of defense even tho it might sound like a cliché. Also what we focus on we will keep seeing anywhere we go.at d end of d day, Life is what we make out of it on our own very personal level. Much love and all d best
DeleteVery true! THanks... Sending love your way.
DeleteMy comment is unrelated to the beautiful couple, but to the person that commented saying " there are interracial couples who don't support same sex marriage, forgetting that it was a punishable offense by law "
DeleteBy that statement you're implying that because they are interracial, they should support any movement that is punishable by law just because theirs was ? And seeing that all these are different categories of " preferences " or " going with ones genuine feelings " you're equally saying , someday when pedophiles stand up to legalize their preference and what they're attracted to , they should be supported? ( that day will come by the way )
Look my point is , there are fucked Up things happening in the world, so when you make comments, put your anger aside and comments from the perspective of a person that is well knowledged , because one statement can discredit all you had to say !
Loool it's really funny when you bring certain issues up and people say you're 'angry'. If this was a topic of femimism and we could see each other people will label me as 'the angry black woman' (Im kinda used to it) and proceed on telling me how I should ask as a woman; most importantly how a 'nigerian woman should act' *laughgs* (we know the rest) the person I replied to seemed to understand my point. But for you, I'll explan further.
DeleteWhen I brought in 'gay' people it was to point out that they know how they feel when people see they're with someone who's not of the same race, the side eye, the public hate; even threats. Not that they MUST support them.
This is not also to say that YOU must accept everything; you bringing pedophiles into this to demonstrate your point came with a pinch of homophobia; this is exactly why I said 'love' will never be enough and you proved my point.
From your statement it shows that you don't support gays( I might be wrong) but if I'm right, you have your reasons as to why; this also shows that the fact that you don't see anything with the couple doesn't mean that there are people out there who will the same way as you.
We have leaders who get married to children; those around them seen to be okay with it. You really cannot bring pedophiles into this to boost your statement, It's a disgusting act.
I didn't suggest you were angry Miss black woman , you stated that yourself in your comment above, and for your information, I'm black too , I'm in the entertainment industry and I have a fuckload of CLOSE gay friends if I mentioned names you could stalk me to know who I am . That said, your response to me doesn't make any sense in respect to what I said, and your first comment STILL suggested that you feel all interracial couples should support all types of sexual preference! Which is why I brought pedophila up , I could name others too , like family members marrying each other etc ! All I was saying was that you should educate yourself well on a statement before saying it !!!!!! I'm not saying everything else you had to say was wrong but that particular one was inaccurately thought out and typed by you . Shikena
DeleteOh and saying that my comment proved that love isn't enough and the homophobic comment are quite laughable, you need to move along and just love the above couple abeg, I made my comment based on facts ( your exact words) you are simply speaking with your feelings not stating facts but yeah , bye
Deletesee eh.. saying that you have loads of gay friends is like a racist person saying 'I have loads of black friends'... again I did not suggest such..
DeleteAll I did was pointed out that not everyone is going to be nice towards you when it comes to certain things. When I said what I said, it was also to point a cycle that is, some interracial's are not okay with gays the same way some black people are not okay with interracial couple(if one is black) as we saw in the comments and also the same way some whites cannot stand blacks. That is all I meant bikonu.
I'm really struggling to see the facts you posted; I'm sure you know that people don get married to their family members and it's seen as a norm.
But thanks for agreeing with all my other comments, this has been fun.
In all honesty, I really hope the above couple are able to move past this; I wish them all the best. I don't know then but sending love and light.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
ReplyDeleteSupportive husband
DeleteAwwww
DeleteLool I wouldn't have expected anything less.
ReplyDeleteHmmm.... There is God oh... Black people are becoming racists... That is how I was privately insulted for liking a mixed race picture...Smh..
ReplyDeleteTrue... black people can also be racists. But it's always covered with 'black people cannot be racists' cos you know....
DeleteWhat kind of insult dear?
DeleteThey look amazing!! I love them
ReplyDeleteBeautiful couple I wish they get married!
ReplyDeleteI just don't understand why these fucking bitches act like this african beauty posted pictures with an old dirty white man who is exploiting her beauty and youthfulness? As i can see,white guy is also young and very handsome! What stops two young hot ppl from falling in love with each other? A skin color? UnFuckingBelievable
ReplyDeleteExactly my tots. I was expecting to see african babe with an old fat toothless slave master after reading these comments. But then gbam! See hotness chai
DeleteHandsome? Yes!.. very handsome? Nope.. but what you said is very valid. The responses are sickening.
DeleteSome people marry inside their race,or tribe or ethnicity because they are afraid of what society will say if case was any different. Others marry out of their race because they thing that shit is so cool and "trendy". I feel both cases are very stupid. We should just go and date or marry who we love. Anything else is waste of life time
ReplyDeleteThis!!!!!!! Is everything
DeleteOne dude once told me that he wanted a Latina baby mama, I asked why.. he said cos it's cool; baby will come out looking 'beautiful'.
DeletePeople are just extremely shallow. Love is deep and that's the realest bond between two ppl. Anything else is rubbish that's why we have so many broken families and unhappy ppl.
DeleteIS DAT BUTT REAL THO???????
ReplyDeleteI WANT TO SMASH THAT BOOTY DAMN
ReplyDeleteDude u thirsty as phuck. They look good together. I wish them all the best.
