We all know that Saldana likes her some vanilla and Bradley…let’s just say that he just has too much flavor to be kept limited to the likes of Renee Zelwegger. I always knew the he’d end up with a sistah!
Zoe, we approve of your choice. Bradley’s swexy, masculine, fun and a stable career man.

You know interracial relationships can come with certain obstacles. The way you and your man choose to handle these issues can either make or break your relationship. Here are 4 rules for interracial dating:

First, I’ll start this article by saying, “just kidding.” I have immense loyalty to black women, and that’s all I’ve ever dated in my adult life. But after reading the article “8 Reasons to date a white man,” I just had to respond for the brothers. We know white men are just as imperfect as the rest of us.

Interracial marriages are still relatively rare in the U.S., but the number is growing. In 1970, just three years after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down laws across the country that prohibited interracial marriages, less than 2 percent of marriages in the United States were interracial.
