Interracial dating is no longer taboo or a thing for just the fellas. It’s smack dab right in our faces as we see more women of color opening themselves up to date those various ethnicities. In other words, it’s reshaping our culture as we know it.
Despite Moguldom Films new documentary The Swirl showcasing overwhelming statistics that approval ratings for interracial couples amongst the general public has skyrocketed since segregation, the Internet is still a vast space for snark and disdain.
Case in point, the recent marriage of rapper/actress Eve. Following the announcement of her nuptials with Gumball 3000 creator Maximillion Cooper, the Twittersphere went into a frenzy with varied reactions. Some of it was hate and some of was desire to follow in her footsteps to what some perceived to be a beard/sugar daddy relationship.
Well, female Black celebrities developing longterm with relationships with white male is nothing new. To prove that point, we at Hip-Hop Wired found 18 African-American ladies that are generally in the company of the Caucasian persuasion.
Check out The Swirl documentary to gain insight on this perspective and flip through the galleries to see some of the famous faces who just live it.
