I so enjoy reading your blog which I found while searching for Indian men and African American women relationships. My initial search left me extremely dissappointed and lead me with the decision to stay away from Indian men. Research told me that I would be played and used for a good time only. This is something that I surely did not want. But being that the heart wants what the heart wants, I continued my search for this few and far between type of relationship. That’s when I found your story. I am so happy for the both of you and wish you nothing but the best. I am also waiting aprroval on your facebook page and know that you will get to it when you are able to do so.

I am also pleased that I did not give up my hope on having a friendship or relationship because I would not have come to know my sweetheart. I will take this new relationship one day at a time as my cautiously optimistic feelings deminish as the communications between the two of us seem to grow stronger and stronger as time goes by.

Hi Jan,
The facebook thing is going okay. Oddly enough the Blindian Love Couples aspect is not nearly as active as the regular Blindian Love group. There are some very interesting conversations that go on there. If you haven’t already joined, please do so. We always love to hear new perspectives.

Hi, tell me how the facebook thing is going.
Well, my fam is a bit “redneck,” Gori with Pakistani fiancee. But, they are coming around. It takes a long time to dispell stereotypes. And, even if your “so” is always “The exception,” it is a start.

Those are some great pictures of you and your family. I’m due one. My sister is trying to plan for all of us to go to South Florida , Savannah or Charleston, South Carolina. Any place is better than being stuck here all of the time. I just want to sample the outsides the ATL.

Far as your mom, those are some very encouraging signs.The process may be gradual and at times,maybe for her uncomfortable, but I think that she means well. My uncle recently confessed to my aunt that he no longer wants to be ” evil”( I wouldn’t say evil , but he was a really mean guy). This was also the same uncle who , at one point, was embarrassed to be around. I remembered an incident where we stopped at a grocery store, and was parked by a Latino couple, Neither one of them had their windows up, but within a minute, my uncle was out with the the stereotypes.Understandably by the couples expression, they were not too happy about it. I guess my uncle thought that they couldn’t speak/understand English.

My brother, sister and me was soooo embarrassed about it until we came all came close to getting the bus at night( we actually end up going inside the store for a while). When we confronted him with this issue, his answers to it would be incredibly boneheaded:” Well every race has a stereotype” or that “some of them are saying the same things about us”. He would say that he is no racist , but with the stereotypes he made about them, they would think otherwise.

We have good friends from all races. My parents didn’t raise us to be such and we would like to see continue to see people as people. If I encounter racism and I have on a couple of occasions, so be it, that is they way of the world, everybody isn’t going to see you as their equal, but there are some people who will see you for yourself.Those are the people that matters to us. I don’t know about anybody else, but I wouldn’t want to live in a glass box.

My uncle says he want to change. Change for him may not be in an instant, but it’s still encouraging to hear that he wants to do it. I’m going to pray for the best for him.

Thanks for the pictures. They’re beautiful! I’m glad you enjoyed your family trip for the Holidays. I’ve enjoyed being with my family on my Winter Break before I go back to school. Just sent a request to join your Blindian Love group. Can’t wait to have discussions there!
