Question of the Day: Whatever happened to “Jungle Fever” in the United States?

Is Jungle Fever (inter-racial marriages/relationships) NOW accepted amongst most African-Americans?

Several readers have presented this question to me. Let me hear from you on this hot topic before I provide my perspectives.

Do you agree with the mixing of races? Do you feel that there will always be bias and racism in the U.S. when it comes to inter-racial dating and marriages? Is it more accepting for a white women to marry a black man or a white man to marry a black woman?
