Can Mixed or what they call "Interracial" Relationships Stand the Test of Time? and Can they last through the Colorism Hype?

FIRST and FOREMOST WE ARE ALL THE HUMAN RACE, CREATED BY GOD.
However we know how man likes to divide and conquer....
Halle Berry and Her Husbands, Robert DeNiro and Grace, Iman and David Bowie, Seal and Keidi Klum, Kim and Kanye, even two Mulattos themself: Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet, and so many other Mixed relationships STARTED OUT WITH GOOD NO GREAT INTENTIONS....JUST PURE LOVE and infatuation. They way relationships are SUPPOSED to be. Now years later, here we hear about their divorce and we are all like what happened? ....
Was it a cultural/ colorism thing OR was it just typical married couple relationship problems that any other couples might have?
We ask...
Especially us Mixed people. Maybe others didn't care...
However the undertones and tension that we see them experience, leads us to believe that maybe the colorism was JUST TOO MUCH, for them to deal with.
Has anyone ever done a study of how many interracial relationships work out and stay together and how many break up?
not sure....highly doubt it..
There seems to be a common energy thrown at mixed and people especially of African, South Asian or even Indian heritage, those with tan or darker skin tones, (Anything non peach or beige) not necessarily those who are mixed with White and Asian, such as the Hapas, or white passing lighter skinned folks. Of course these people always get the "oh its okay, you look better, your accepted, because your viewed as beautiful" treatment.
The energy is almost like a passive aggressive silent but powerful energy to throw us in the garbage, push us to the side, ignore us, act like you hate us, like we dont matter or should we even exist, because darker skin that we never asked to be born with, is not acceptable. THIS IS CALLED COLORISM and HAD EXISTED SINCE BIBLICAL TIMES IN ALMOST EVERY COUNTRY OF THE WORLD, UNFORTUNATELY.
The question is, do the white men or women, the lighter skinned peach and beige folk, WHO ARE MARRIED TO DARKER FOLKS JUST get TIRED of the Colorism and the negative energy it places on their relationship? especially BECUASE THEY ARE CONSTANTLY IN THE SPOT LIGHT? Does THIS FACTOR CAUSE THE lighter folks in these relationships to bail out and feel upset that their relationship is more of a shame or dissapointment and people dont view their relationship as acceptable? Also the same Colorism can aggravate and upset the darker person, also causing them to feel more unhappy in their relationship and wanting to bail out?
or is it JUST PERSONALITY DIFFERENCES? or other relationship issues, such as infidelity, personality clashes, financial issues, etc.
THERE ARE SO MANY MIXED RELATIONSHIPS, and THERE WILL BE MANY MORE so this is a valid question that sometimes, needs to ne talked about.
Well the only way we could find out , would be to interview each couple or hear their story individually and see what they say was the reason for their split, and also COMPARE IT TO the stories and tales of those MIXED RELATIONSHIPS THAT ALSO STAYED TOGETHER TILL THIS DAY.
Well, for one thing, Marriage and even non-married serious love relationships are a hard topic to begin with. Its so complex and so many dynamics.
If this IS the case, then does that mean...(the colorism is real even in modern day), does that mean that darker people should stay together and lighter people stay together?
or SHOULD THEY FIGHT IT. FIGHT THE COLORISM and LAUGH IN ITS FACE WHILE STAYING STRONG IN LOVE DESPITE THE MESS THROWN AT THEM.
First of all, NO ONE has the right to judge anyone else. not their looks, their life, their friends, their love relationships...but people all want to give their opinions...all the unaccountable comments on social media prove my point.
Anyone can just say almost anything now adays, and almost take no responsibility for it!
That alone is terrible. humans must learn to practice accountability and respect again.
And let people be with whoever they want to be with. Love is beautiful.
Also remember, usually there are many innocent, mixed, beautiful children that come out of these love relationships/Marriages, that have to deal with this judgmental colorism mess as well.
We Humans as for 99% part. ALL THE SAME. All of our insides, our organs, our blood, our body parts are LITERALLY the same, science has proven it. The only 1-2% difference is the little outer surface parts, such as the type of skin, hair and facial features we have that differ!
GOD DID THAT!
SO please think and be kind, before you judge a mixed relationship or family again. ITS NOT EASY BEING GREEN. -kermit
The MORE PEOPLE SUPPORT MIXED FAMILIES, THE MORE MIXED FAMILIES WILL THRIVE AND STAY TOGETHER. PLEASE STOP COLORISM.
