Topic: Do you think Color should be a limitation? - page 2. (Read 323 times)

When love captures your heart, it comes with different feelings and emotions that you don't understand. It doesn't mind the colour or gender. Love is something no human has control over, it can make you go against your family or friends' wishes.

It surprises me, how some people still use the colour of their skin to decide who they want their friends or family member to get married to. Skin colour is supposed not to be a benchmark to define how happy or successful a human being can be in a marriage when there is love that coexists between the two.

The thing is, it shouldn't be a hindrance for anyone no matter what color he has to pursue his dream no matter how big it is. But he should understand that in order to reach those dreams, he should work harder and dream bigger and be motivated to reach them. Our teacher told us back then that beautiful women are for handsome men and he just stopped right there. I said to myself, I'm not closing the door of the small chance of marrying a beautiful woman one day despite not being handsome but the reality came to me when I'm getting older that thing might not gonna happen for real. so I will just gonna consider looking for someone the same as me and love her as much as I gonna love a beautiful woman and do everything I can to make her the happiest woman in the world.

 Love has several characteristics, and one of which is it's ability to not discriminate. Asides from being "in love", we need to also prove it. It's a verb and not a noun hence it's a doing word.
I see no need for color to be a limitation because whether black or white, it's still blood that flows through our veins.
 
 Limitations are only set when one has to follow a certain pattern or belief in my opinion.

No way it should be a limitation! The life is to short to stick to any kind of limitations.

Love has no limitations.
It doesn't see.
The color.
The cast.
The height.
Or even Gender.

Because love is love.

In our country there is a quotation. First I will write in my country language and then translate it in English.


Its mean Heart is Heart. Heart can fit on Donkey too.

Replacing heart with Love. We(means in our country) get this meaning from that quotation.
Love is love. Love can be with donkey too.

She sacrificed love and he came back and married five more wives... Yoruba love.

When World War II broke out David Oguntoye hid in a ship   and travelled  to Britain  to volunteer  for the Royal Air Force.

He  arrived  in Britain in June 1942,and was selected to train as a navigator in Canada for  four years.  Unfortunately  the time he was returning  to Britain  in 1946, the war had already  ended, which meant couldn't be   deployed  on the battlefield.

Instead   he was posted to Bicester Oxford   as a welfare officer for the Caribbean airmen stationed there.  In June of the same year  a young beautiful white  lady called  Dulcie King , also serving in the Royal Air Force ,  was   posted  to the same station to serve  as an education  instructor.

The two fell in love  and began courting  something  that shocked  the military. Interracial  marriages  were really resented in Britain, and to make it worse this was happening  in the military. Her commanding officer summoned  her and warned  her about going out with a Black person.

Most  of the  officers  disliked the fact that Dulcie had chosen a black boyfriend. Furthemore  it was Ministry  of Defence's   policy  that   interracial  relationships should  nor be allowed  to thrive in the military.  They even transferred her to another station  in an  attempt  to break the relationship, but the love was too strong.

On one occasion a group of airmen tried to attack David, but Dulcie intervened to protect him. The couple who were now  both  holding  the rank  of Flight  Sergeant,  continued to be seen together, and in October 1946 they attended a dance at Royal Air Force  Bicester.

To rub salt in the wound ,  for the first time they decided to hold each other  in public as other airmen  watched. “He sat on the arm of my chair with his arm ostentatiously around me. This, of course, was something we never normally did in public, but we intended to demonstrate unmistakably our relationship,” Dulcie recalled.

One month later the two decided to leave the Royal Air Force  and   got married  immediately  on 16 November  1946 despite the opposition from her parents. They both trained as lawyers  in London   before leaving  for Nigeria  in 1954 where they settled  permanently.   Because  he was considered a chief by  his tribe  Flight  Sergeant  David  went on to marry five other  wives , however,  this did not in anyway  affect their relationship.  She was contented  with being the first wife.

They went on to start  a law firm together  and in  1960,  she denounced  her British  citizenship.  In 1964, David  Oguntoye  was selected as a Court President while Dulcie  Oguntoye  became first a Magistrate and, in 1976, a High Court Judge. She was   the first woman on the Lagos State bench and the second female judge in Nigeria after Modupe Omo-Eboh.

When  David died in June 1997, she  took charge  as a  ‘benevolent matriarch’ to her late husband’s family until  her  death in  2018.

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.
