Yesterday, while at the laundry matt a show came on television where Golden Globe Nominees were being interviewed. I half way paid attention for reasons I should probably tackle in another blog, but, Tia and Tamera Mowry were going to be interviewed.

I paused to draw near  the television, to hear Tamera tearfully lay out criticism she has been receiving for her interracial marriage (pretty candid interview).

The irony  still renders me silent for a moment.

Tamera is a product of an interracial marriage herself. Still, she told of people calling her a white man’s whore, cheap, spewing hate at her for her marriage. She cried as she talked.

Thing is, some years ago, I dated a very light skinned Latin gentleman and got a similar thing. I got nasty looks from both Latin and white women, and black men who’d say things, just low enough to be heard…
