Dating a guy of a different race

Cultural differences was an issue, but often it was racial undertones that resulted in us keeping the relationship on the low.This reared its head dramatically one day when I was at a family member's house for lunch when the subject was casually brought up in conversation.Maybe they suspected something, maybe someone had seen me with Ayanda*...but suddenly I was told that I would be disowned if I "brought a black girl home".
We had known each other for four years and for about a year of that we were inseparable.For 24 years we've been battling with ourselves as a nation but as we try again and again to unite regardless of our race, could our prejudices in the dating game be something that is holding us back?
