Twenty five years ago I married a black American guy.
We loved each other very much, and have one child from that marriage.
We had no problems with the difference of our colour...but other people did.
We were often taken to a empty room, for a meal we had ordered in America.
Not allowed to eat with the 'whites'.!
We had all kinds of people be rude, and all walks of life.
Too too many for me to talk about here.In the end, we both felt like we were
'aliens'..It took it's toll, and my husband went back to America, after many years.
It was 50-50 the amount of racist behaviour from Australia and America.
My husband was use to it, as he had it growing up in the States....I on the other hand would get upset with people, he would tell me to ignore it.
It didn't work out also for other reasons,he loved America...and became very homesick.We both had the same religion..so that was a huge bonus, just human beings were our main issue.
I won't say I don't miss him, we stay in contact it could have worked if people just live and let live.
