THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRERWednesday, December 10, 1980 PEOPLE TODAY G-9 Mixed Couple Seek 'Open-Minded' City are only approximately 25,000 black women In America married to white men; this represents far below 1 of married black women. It's understandable that black men become angry at both whites and blacks who constantly criticize and demean them. But black men and black women can become trapped Into supporting stereotypes; they will often blame each other for their own frustrations and Black men and women must accentuate the positive in thelc relationships, and "allow" each other to date and marry whom choose. Such advice may be hard swallow for some, but If we are com-' mltted to the principle of freedom' of choice, this is the fair position to assume. Alvin F.

I say this to show that black men are the great sufferers of the world. Black women act as though white women who go with black men are tramps. Whatever the black man does is wrong he is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't Milwaukee ANSWER: You seem to be involved In the irrational battle-of-the-sexes in its black-American version.
The reader you are criticizing was prejudiced in the negative generalizations she made about black men. You, too, have been just as unfair.

I am a young black man and consider myself to be pretty hip and attuned to the American mainstream and mentality. I am writing concerning the possibility of interracial marriage.
We met at a large Midwestern university seven years ago. As lovers, friends and people, we are quite happy at times; we have the usual ups and downs of any other typical couple living together. We both are earning good Incomes as professionals in our respective fields of photography and naturalist education. Lately, we have been considering the future: an open-minded city to live in in America. Could you tell me what 10 American cities are known for having the best interracial harmony, In terms of liberalism and acceptance of new lifestyles, particularly Statistics Indicate that in 1977, there were 125,000 black-white couples In the U.S., an increase of 60,000 or 02 more than the 1970 figure Three-fourths of the black-white couples had a black husband and a white wife.

They say they are around white men so much In their careers, that they don't have contact with ANY PURCHASE OVER $25.00 We have managed, but are tired -of the usual public stares. The stares are something I have learned to live with, but my mate Is beginning to question things. Are there any recent studies on mixed marriages in the United States? T.B., Cincinnati ANSWER: The cities in which interracial couples report they feel "less-noticed" and more comfortable tend to be the large, urban and cosmopolitan cities where citizens have some degree of anonymity.
Such cities would include New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia, Mlnneapolis-St. Paul and Washington, D.C. However, interracial couples have been known to make their homes in many small towns, particularly in the Northern states.
