George Lucas Engaged

Congratulations to the happy couple. He is working on another Indiana Jones film. Other than that, he will make art house films. After Red Tails, he didn't want to do another studio film again. His intended is a smart woman and probably understands him. May the force be with them always.

Check out the comments. It's really interesting to see how positive the comments are. You have to wonder are we turning the corner on IR relationships or is it all good as long as its not a black man and a white woman.

More like any non-black woman.

With that aside good luck to him, I was never a Lucas fan but it's not like I hate the guy.

While I give my congrats to George Lucas and wish him all the best..

There is still most certainly a difference in a reaction when a White Male marries an 'other' female compared to when a black male marries an 'other' female. There following is more of an average attitude in my opinion...

For white males the reaction is usually, "Congrats, you deserve every bit of that happiness!" Other commentary inbetween is with an underline tone of: it is sincere, unquestionable pursuit of a beautiful female with no other strings attached, he is championed for getting the exotic and the different, that is all.

For black males "Congrats, you deserve every bit of that happiness!" Other commentary inbetween is with an underline tone of: Brainwashed by the media, wouldn't expect anything different from him (if he is successful in fame and/or fortune), relationship is built on the female's superficial pursuit of his wealth. And depending on looks, if she isn't all that stunning(in their opinion with a sudden inflation of beauty standards then it is "he's a black male, they take the ones we/they don't want"

The more straight up hateful stuff, mostly on the internet, comes from some butthurt (I'd imagine mostly non-black) guys that did their college internship in the showers of the OZ prison, who rather than go out and prove why they are so "superior" or more deserving; instead waste time tearing down someone they don't know and who will never never ever care about their existence and will always probably remain more successful then they.

Then other such comments usually come from some black females who suffer from that wincing syndrome that Jill Scott suffers from whenever she sees a black male with a white female and who thinks just because you share the same skin tone, she and all black women alike are entitled to have the option to spend the rest of their life with you.

Overall, I would say attitudes as a whole are improving for bm/wf relationships. Most folks that have a genuine problem with such unions have only a few options. Take refuge on the internet or keep their opinion to themselves.
 
I couldn't have said it better myself. In the case of black women who are opposed to ww/bm couples, would also say, "He must hate his mother." Or, "He is lost and confused." And then there is, "He is ashamed to be with his own color and is afraid of a strong black woman." None of these are true.

Most of the time, the non-black guys who say this couldn't pull and probably have never had a woman 1/10 as attractive as the one they are judging.

True, b/c most such comments and the people who make/think them are accustomed to all prerogatives and options being open to white males as the dominant figures in society and are unaccustomed to having their exclusivity of access to all women around the world challenged. Or in the case of the women who think this way, they're accustomed to viewing the men of their race as some sort of natural resource to which they have exclusive access. Hopefully times are changing.
 
I once saw a clip on youtube where a bunch of white men sat down and had an honest chat about IR. The men say they have nothing against it, yet they all agree that if a black man is dating or married to a really hot woman, they become jealous and resent that man because they believe that the woman was made for them and no one else. If she is less attractive, then it is no problem because she is not the woman that they want and is more or less pushed aside.
