[Sarah Weber]

As an African American woman married for 18 years to a white male, I have found myself around white people, men and women all the time. White males, especially blue collor white males, seem to cling to the myth that they are superior. I have never found one that was actually as great as he thinks he is. Being married to a white male has given me access where many black women would not have it. I feel good about myself, not because I married white, but because I have built and maintained a life I am proud of. My white husband joined my life. I did not marry up, I married for love. Why is the first instinct of many whites males one of superiority? Habit. Superority is built on myths and dreams. It is easier to pretend you are better than someone, that to face your own ordinariness and weakness.
