Wanting what some tell you, you can't have

 Before I start into my romance blog I want to say one thing once.

The vast majority of Americans, whether they be Republicans or Democrats are not like the Nazis, Qs, anarchists, supremacist's, traitors, insurrectionists you saw murdering, pilfering, desecrating, etc.. In that crowd were many who just came to support Trump (no matter what one might feel about him). They had no intention of breaking the law and did not ascend the steps. Our country is great because we have basically two points of view and the freedom to choose.

I can segue to... You see interracial and multicultural romances are the thing now and they get stronger every day. It's mother nature taking its course. As my Filipina wife says, halo-halo (mix-mix).

At the same time as the insurrectionists were trying to stop the U.S. government in D.C., in Los Angeles a young black women two blocks from her home, was saved from an angry 'stop the steal'  crowd she wandered thru by a big burly white guy (who was not angry, although part of the crowd). He whispered in her ear to stay calm, he'd protect her, and that they wanted to kill her. The guy lost his job because it looked like he was about to beat her up, but the woman, Berlinda Nibo, called his employer to protect him and explain that he saved her. You'll see something like this in my new novel coming out 1/18 (Cinnamon & Sugar)

What are we to do? Love thy neighbor for starters.

For years, I have complained about ABC not having enough diversity on the Bachelor franchise. Well, they have been steadily getting better at it, to the point that it is obvious to me that race is not a factor for the vast majority of Americans and for ABC they see profit and perhaps doing the right thing. For those who choose hate over love you need not read on.

We had Catherine a Filipina who married Sean (2013 - The Bachelor), a white guy from Texas. They have 3 beautiful children. We had Rachel Lindsey, a brilliant and lovely black attorney who as the first black Bachelorette (2017) married Bryan Abasolo. The flood gates are more than open. The most recent two bachelorettes were multi-racial. Clare Crawley, a statuesque beauty with a Hispanic/white heritage., she engaged a very handsome black man, Dale Moss. Next came the most gorgeous woman the show has ever had as the Bachelorette, Tayshia Adams, a black and white gal chose a white guy, Zac Clark. Does any of this make you want to order a rocky road. Well, it ain't so rocky anymore, unless you stumble into a Klan rally. I'd stay away from such. Bigotry is always a losing argument made by losers. Anybody who chooses hate over love annihilates his/her soul.

Now we have the first and current black Bachelor on ABC's The Bachelor, Matt James has the women swooning. He runs a non-profit to help underprivileged kids. He said a prayer with all the women that the journey would be fulfilling for all as they make friends and perhaps find love. He gave his first impression rose to a deaf gal, not out of pity but because of her spiritual and physical beauty. He's already becoming a big favorite with "bachelor nation" (fans and participants).

There are many other 'halo-halo' couples associated with the show. It seems the more the racists tell us we can't have that, the more we want it, lol.
