I just received an email from David, who emailed me a picture of his wife of two years. They met in Arkansas. ARKANSAS. They met…on our Facebook fan page.

This is just two examples of how social media and the internet have fueled the explosion of black women dating and marrying interracially. Why? It’s all about proximity, exposure and breaking down barriers.
