yes

well if you go black you never going back that's a promise

You have a solid point

Best relationships I have ever had have been cross-cultural. I can't imagine anything else ever working again.
It forces us to keep listening and be open to learn – and let's face it, these are things that most of us tend to forget eventually in a relationship, when we begin to take our partner or our relationship for granted.
Also, it's a great way to overcome the barrier after a disagreement: "I think this is a cultural thing, honey, and that's why we're not understanding each other. Can we take a step back." Of course, in the end you both have to apologise and mean it, but this can help.
I personally believe that every connection between two people on this planet (except siblings) is cross-cultural. We just don't realise how much we are influenced by our intimate socialisation: family, where we lived, school, etc. And we assume that people from our own culture will see the world as we do. By really crossing the social boundary we force that into our awareness.

Distance alone is ultimately a challenge to both parties.And then here comes the test of trust and patience to one anothet.Not an easy journey but then again,worth the frustrations that comes along the way as long as both have the same goals,both in the very same horizon and knows exactly what you both wanted in the relationship.
And yes,be honest,be real,be open....Nothing's impossible.

Personally I would actually love to have an inter racial relationship, I can't really explain the reason why either but I would just love to have the chance to try it I think other women can sometimes be better

my ex husband is white

Yeah, sure. He's white NOW. What color was he before he became your ex?

Just kidding.

Growing up where I did, mostly in the South, but with a strong foreign element, I found that inter-ANYTHING relationships could be tricky or easier. The racism around me was so intense in those days was a big problem. Everyone hated everyone, and everyone thought they were oh-so-wonderful themselves. There could be more cultural differences between two Americans, than there was between people from different parts of the world entirely.

I guess the main thing I would be concerned about, is that I've seen some cases where the reason why two people THOUGHT they were a perfect fit for each other, was because both of them thought that the reason for each other's behavior was something other than what it was. Such as thinking that someone is always doing things for you because they care so deeply about you, and discovering later that what was really going on, was that they were culturally certain that you were their PROPERTY, and that they had to do everything for you, because you are naturally simple-minded.

It's all part of the overall lesson that it's the WHY of things, which determines how a relationship will go, more than the WHAT of things.

There's no harm in trying. Much luck to you. Hopefully u get to find what you're looking for.

You have a point. It might be on a case to case basis or depends on the situation, environment, etc etc. Can we say that if you dont really care about the people around you or what everyone has to say and think, it mught really work. It worked for many people.

I've just come back to this and thinking about it, we shouldn't even be talking about this in this day and age should we?

I once was involved with a woman from Kansas...enough said.

Now that's asking for trouble!
is that near area 51?
