Love Is Colorblind

When we think about the typical american family, we picture a family of four. Father, Mother and two kids. The mother and father is probably both working or the mother is a stay-at-home mother. The kids run around in the backyard all day long, playing with each other. Their house is also surrounded with a white-picket-fence. This is the type of family picture we all have or at least have had at one point.

In today's world, this is not necessarily the case. We can see hundreds of different types of families. Just to mention a few, we can think of two mothers or two fathers. Some might have two fathers and one mother or the other way around. In today's world, anything is possible.

Another family possibility is a mixed family.A family where mother and father have different skin colors. We can say that a mixed family is becoming more and more normal. For some families, it can be the most unnatural process in the world. The thought and idea of the couple having different skin colors can be the cause of family issues. The world is filled with humans with opinions and thoughts. Sometimes those opinions can be hurtful and cause trouble. Plenty of families struggle with the thought of a family member dating someone with another skin colors. The problems may occur because of racism or old history with painful memories.

Searching for opinions on the internet, I can only find supportive messages. That might be because it is the younger generation who is mostly on the internet and they tend to be more supportive. My opinion on the matter is the thought that love is love, no matter the skin color. I think as a human race we should look past the thoughts and ideas that we are separate just because we have different skin tones. Love is colorblind.
