People living in Appalachia are as different as day and night. We’re black. We’re white. We’re skinny. We’re fat. It would be like trying to take a large city and generalize all of its inhabitants. All religions are represented. I personally am Catholic. But, we have synagogues, temples, Islamic centers, etc, etc. I’ve never met a hillbilly; I probably never will. But, one thing I do know is that Appalachians are not all the same. Even if you’re talking in terms of history, there is a great difference among the people of Appalachia. In fact, I think the only thing Appalachians can say they have common is the sense of togetherness that comes from constantly having to showcase our differences and reacting against the stereotypes which have been unduly placed upon us.

I’ve dated in my race, and outside my race. Some relationships were good and some bad. But, I never went in having any preconceived notions or expectations. I go out with people who I am attracted to and whom I believe will treat me with respect. I hope someday that my children will do the same. I will not push them in any racial direction. I have noticed (as Joanne mentioned) that many white women who exclusively date black men, do put down black women and disparage the black race. I don’t understand this at all.
