Nigerian girls should come and learn about true love. Not the conditional transactions they parade as love.

Your analysis of the black race is extremely shallow, in as much we have pimps, ho's and gangsters amongst the black race, they are millions of black people doing very well and excelling in their respective fields.

Redbone, pinkbone or blaqbonez bla bla, black is black irrespective of the shade of your black.
Anyways Death to Racism and the racist.

Jeannie Gustavson, 68, and Steve Watts, 71, dated secretly for seven years in the 70s during College days.

They broke up 42 years ago as her family didn't approve of interracial dating.

A mixed-race couple who were college sweethearts and dated each other secretly in the 1970s have recently reunited and discovered they are 'still in love'.

Jeannie Gustavson and Steve Watts met as students at Loyola University in Chicago when she was a freshman, aged 18, and he was a senior, aged 21, and they soon started dating.

However, he was black and she was white and her family disapproved of interracial dating, meaning they had to conduct their relationship in secret for seven years.

Despite ultimately breaking up forty-two years ago, Jeannie, now 68, always regret the decision to end the relationship and has never forgotten about Steve.

Imagine! The horror of discrimination.
Sad tale of two young bloods who should have enjoyed the better part of their lives together, when they were still young and bouncing, but their sweet bond of love was severed by the color of their skins.
What benefit are they to one another, now that their lives are almost expired?
Although son of men say, half cake is better than non. But some half cake can make you shed tears, when you know what the full cake could have looked like. Can we even call this half cake or one quarter cake?
When I scrolled up again to compare the pictures, when they were both young, fresh and looking all smart to now when they're aged, it's such a sad sight, I must say.

Back then, no sane white parents would approve their white daughter dating a Negro. No!
Funny enough this black guy is redbone, not black as such, could be mistaken for white. Yet back then, Black is Black; as long as you're not White, you're Black.

Peak of discrimination and racism.
Black race has come a long way. Gone through a lot of shiit to be where it is today.
Days when you'll have to wait and bow for White to pass on the road before you pass. Days when as a Black, you can't enter the same Bar with Whites.

When I remember the sacrifices of people like Martin Luther Jr., Malcom X, Vivien Thomas, Carl Brashear etc. how they used their lives as ransom for Black freedom, I shake my head for what Blacks are today.

Shame on Blacks. You see these Black Americans with no sense or any memory left, of where they've come from in history.

All they do is lazy around, steal, loot shops, go to gym, eat, smoke, sag, put tattoo on their bodies, wear big chains, rings and oversize cloths; flaunt dollar and expensive possessions, showoff, intimidate others, play all day, speak wrong English, go to party, do gangsterism, listen to hip hop music and above it all sex, sex and sex. No Iota of sense. Black will always be black, whether African or Black American.


U NO THE FUNNY THING?, HERE IN NIGERIA SAME SCENARIO STILL REPEAT ITSELF. I NO OF AN IGBO GUY WHO WANTED TO MARRY YORUBA GAL. BUT THE FAMILY OF THE IGBO GUY REFUSED. AS I SPEAK, BUT THE IGBO GUY N YORUBA GAL STILL SLEEP EACH OTHER EVEN THOUGH BOTH R MARRIED

She said: 'I did a very stupid thing 42 years ago and I've regretted it ever since. And all I can do now is love him as best I can and see to it that he's happy and give him the quality of life that he really deserves and he's missed all these years.'

Something beautiful happened to me as I read this...as a reflex, I would have cried but no, the above dried the tears and I'm like time fixes things, really.

Jeannie wrote to him twice but didn't get response.

Eventually she showed up at the care home facility this summer with their graduation photo in her hand and butterflies in her stomach.

She recalled their reunion, writing: 'The minute he rolled into the visiting room and uttered the sweet nickname he gave me, forty two years melted away.

'He and I were 18 and 21 again.

We cried, we laughed, we held each other and most wonderfully we realized we were still in love.'

Steve had suffered two strokes 15 years ago, leaving him debilitated and Jeannie was his first visitor in ten years.


'I knew at that moment that he still loved me, and this time it was going to be forever.

I just knew it,' .

With the help of a GoFundMe page, and using the rest of her savings, Jeannie has managed to bring Steve out of the nursing home to her home in Portland, Oregan, where she is now his carer.

Although Steve finds it difficult to speak, he can still make Jeannie laugh and they have forgiven each other for the past and rekindled their long-lost love.

She said: 'I did a very stupid thing 42 years ago and I've regretted it ever since. And all I can do now is love him as best I can and see to it that he's happy and give him the quality of life that he really deserves and he's missed all these years.'

White women will always be white women, after 42years, she met him a disable yet she's ready to spend her life savings on him just to apologize and renew their interest in each other.

Beautiful..! The definition of soul mate.


Love can be found anywhere in the world irrespective of culture, race and colour.



Soul mate is a bit smaller, NOTHING can seperate twin flames from reuniting... Yet just a little of us know these things.

The story said the ex girlfriend is the man's first visitor in 10 years and the man has spent about 15 years in care home.

That's what I detest about this Oyinbo people. The parents that took care of you when you were young, feed you, bath you, cloth you, wash your poopoo and so on. When they get old and weak, you then take them to rejected people's home and abandone them there.

Are those ones human beings at all? Even animals fend for each other. It then means that the Oyinbo people are less than animals.
