It is an interesting non fictional story, segregation, balkanization, and racism was very high and strong as of that time. And I also know that what happened to those two young people, happened to all families, village and communities. Disliking someone is not necessarily a racism. It also happened rich and poor so tagging it to black and white dating is... Marrying a beautiful girl or a boy comes with very strong resistance fru om all angle, those who likes the girl will not want you to come close to the girl and marry. Now from the story. If the girl was very ugly would they still resisted the boy to date or marry her? Racism is not all about colour but thinking. In the first why did they accept the boy in the air force known well that he is a black boy. So you can see that it has nothing to do with color but the thinking the men.
Do you think Color should be a limitation?
Depends on what color it is.

I felt bad reading that part where he had to marry 5 more wives. I feel it is betrayal of love. But that she did not find it bad showed her love for him was stronger than his. Whoever says a chief must marry more than one wife in the first place? It is just an African thing to have an excuse of having many women around them. And because women love power and success, they do not mind when packed in one successful man's home.
No, colour should not be a limitation. But to let you know that till the end of this world there can never exist a time that man will live without certain kinds of limitations, whether in marriages or with jobs. If it is not colour as limitation, it is tribe and ethnicity like we have in Africa. Racism and tribalism will never go away.
We evolved a lot from the time the incident happened and now there is no limitations to make love with anyone if both individuals mutually like each other. Still there are racists and they hate people who commit interacial relationship or anything but the numbers were reduced a lot and with the time it will reach out null at some point.
We evolved a lot regarding racism, backward and forward, is certain. If you look back in history, over the last thousands of years, you will find that racism existed among groups, back and forth throughout all those years. Racism and the lack of it are nothing new. Rather, it is kinda natural that it happens both ways at different times.
However, 'birds of a feather flock together'. And generally speaking, schools of fish are made up of all the same kind of fish.

People can think and make choices. But regarding nationalities, be careful that you know what you are getting into in your choice of a life partner of a different color. Apply the old saying, "Birds of a feather flock together."
I admit this your point as a strong one, in addition to it, we are actually not against the combination here but rather compactibility, unity and understanding that could come aftermath, abiding by an entire different culture away from yours means turning a new life itself and could be somewhat difficult to adjust to, i will say this in contrary that if the two have been together for a long relationship or courtship and have a good understanding of each without minding their differences in culture and ways of live, then they are good to go, what we are after is the peace and joy after the marriage which is a lifetime journey.
I read a science fiction book one time, where the aliens had eyesight that was very accurate. They could detect minute differences in colors. They based their alphabet and numbering system on colors and shades and hues of color. Color wasn't a limiting factor for them, but it would be for us. 
Color shouldn't be a barrier on loving,since you don't know who is the right woman for you. I am happy that this generation have understood this unlike the previous generation that believe in color and where you are from. I mean back in the days even in the year 2000 some persons still think color makes people different not knowing that we are all one.
Our parents especially where the ones more serious about color because of what they have experienced or heard about in their past,but as the year keeps moving forward we ourselves now begin to see that its not true,that color means nothing in falling in love or in settling down with a lady. For the both air officers they understood this way back 1946, they were destined to be together for greatness. Love have no limitations.
that is correct - in my life all the good things and images are black and white Our parents especially where the ones more serious about color because of what they have experienced or heard about in their past,but as the year keeps moving forward we ourselves now begin to see that its not true,that color means nothing in falling in love or in settling down with a lady.

To me colour is not the limitation - the real bound of life is the love that is not dependent on colous

Obviously color shouldn't be a limitation. The idea of separating anyone based on the color of their skin is outrageous to me. This is why I think the current liberal movement is to me extremely racist. They keep wanting to divide and have special rights or access to college, etc. I understand the black community has been wronged and the financial damage is lasting, but I think the way forward should not be to continue dividing with special privileges for any race. Instead of this woke movement where everyone should learn to treat people differently, I'd prefer a sleep movement where anyone who mentions race is branded a racist while those who want an even playing ground for everyone going forward should be considered the "good" people.

Regarding love, what is the difference between love and infatuation? Infatuationis something easy. True love can be difficult.
When a person has a crush on someone, the person is really looking at things that the other person remind him/her of. Take time to find out if the other person is really the way you like. Don't be tricked by your own imagination into thinking the other person is the way you think he/she is.
In the OP, it seems to have worked out well. Many similar get-togethers don't work so well. Takes grounding in life to make a good relationship.

Love is a mysterious feeling, there are hardly any choices we can make when it comes to loving someone I guess, just like we can't control our heart beats. Color of skin can be directly related to some chemicals and pigments present in the skin layers, morphological difference it is, not something that might stand as a hindrance when someone is falling in love with somebody I guess
everyone has weaknesses and strengths and that is a gift from the almighty God, so people who like to insult because different races have different skin colors are people who lack tolerance because different skin colors or different races are not an obstacle, especially in matters of love is clear there are no obstacles whatsoever.

do you think color should be a limitation to whom we love or choose to be with in life?
No and i mean it when i say no, colour should not be a barrier to choosing a partner, compactibility should be the major concern, are the two intending couple compactible enough with each other? Have they try to sit down and make individual discoveries about themselves? Do they even go on a courtship to enjoy both the sweet and bitter experience of a relationship, some have ended up marrying their ethnicity colour but the marriage fails all because they were not compactible, love is a practical thing that must exist and regardless of colour, it can be found with a partner whom you're free and compactible with, while culture, parents and colour shouldn't be a barrier to a perfect match.
There is a huge difference between 1946 and 2022. My calculator gives me over 58 years difference and that's almost as old as Republic of Algeria and older than the Republic of Burundi.
Times have changed my friend and so has the people. In the days past, people acted this way because they didn't know any better. Sadly, we still have some of them in our world today. Those who believe in a far superior race and the truth is, the changes will get to them one day or to there generations.
Colour is genetic and depends on the place yiu are found in time. As much as your environment affects your being, it doesn't make you any less a human. There is nothing wrong between men of interracial relations.

Color absolutely should NOT be a limiting factor. But we kinda have it backwards.
In the visible-light area of the electromagnetic spectrum, white has all the colors, while black is absence of color.

My question is, do you think color should be a limitation to whom we love or choose to be with in life?
Please I need a straight forward answer without being biased over the situation.
What kind of answer do you expect to get, many people replying to this will not be too inclined to tell you how they fell but will tell you what you want to hear which is "love should have no limitation", when they know in their heart that they are still selective about who they love, and not just romantically but who they choose to show love to. Please I need a straight forward answer without being biased over the situation.
My question is, do you think color should be a limitation to whom we love or choose to be with in life?
of course not ,, we can love anyone regardless of what color he is .. life will be very short if we continue to worry about the color of our partner's skin ... regardless of what people comment on our choices ,, just let them comment, because who lives life is us not them
