Are you insinuating there’s a difference between love depending upon your color, and/or nationality? ~~~~~~~~~~~ It is what it is "Black Love". Tv loves to protray black ppl as rude, loud, a menance to society. If someone lives in a community with no black ppl they think what they see on tv represents "all black people". Blacks are sometimes judged as a "whole unit/race" and not as individuals. My in-laws have been married for over 50 yrs. They are pilars in the community and elders in their church. You don't see their "Black Love" being shared on tv, they are not stars with the stalkerattzie chasing after them. To see "Black Love" (two black ppl married people taking care of things responsibly) and setting the bar high for all blacks to do better is a sense of self acceptance and validation for us black ppl. We blacks now get more of a sense of pride because Our President and First Lady are black. "Black Love has always been out in any community, we were just ignored or under represented unless we stayed within our own social venues. Non blacks always wonder why blacks have their own tv channels or their own black colleges, Miss Black America Pagents, the answer is " we were not being represented/included". Sometimes the old saying "If you can't beat em join em", does not hold true. If they don't include you, you "build it and they will come". Now in all fairness I do have to add that I can't and don't get mad at anyone for dating outside of their race. My mother was white and my dad is black, but if you ask me what race I am ,I will say black every time. Too look at me, you know I am white, to look at my hair I could be mixed or Jewish.*(I do love my flat iron though) If I have to check a box to identify what race I am(being ppl are stupid and the human race has not been an option yet) I check the box that says "black". To sum up my comment. Black Love has always been alive and vibrate, it's just now that others are taking notice. Lorri said:

I don’t think too many people of other races subscribe to Ebony and Jet. ~~~~~~~~~~ I only subscribe to Ebony and Jet for school fund raisers. And they are not even my own kids schools, my kids are grown. lol. I do love this couple but get upset that they are the "poster" couple for black America. I know many black couples still married after 50+ years. Do some ppl really believe that this in the only marrierd powerful black couple in our country? Nicole said:

What bothers me is because the Media, act like Black Love didn't exist until they came on the Scene.
