Usain Bolt's Interracial Relationship Causes Criticism That Is Undeserved



Lubica Slovak and Usain Bolt

There has been a bit of controversy over the past week, regarding black Jamaican Olympic gold medalist, Usain Bolt, 24, dating white fashion designer, Lubica Slovak, 28. The couple have been seeing each other for the past six months and some do not like it, due to the two coming from different races.

At the end of the day, it is their business whom they date and no one should meddle in that on the basis of color. People need to look at a person's heart and how they treat others, not their skin color or country of origin. That is what's most important - finding an honest, decent human being you are happy and comfortable with.

One of my friends in Jamaica met Usain and had nothing but good things to say about him. He has done work for charity to benefit the less fortunate. He has also dated dark skinned black women, light skinned black women and a mixed raced woman. He has not shunned his culture or race. If he chooses to date a white woman, that's his business. Leave him and others alone that choose to date or marry outside their race. God doesn't care about color and neither should we.

Congrats to Usain, well done, but I have a question. Does this mean we have to pay Usain a toll when we get on the Highway. Just kidding.

Tue Sep 15, 2009 7:55pm EDT - KINGSTON (Reuters) - Jamaica will grant diplomatic privileges to triple Olympic and world champion sprinter Usain Bolt and name a highway after him, Prime Minister Bruce Golding said on Tuesday.

Golding said Bolt's extraordinary performance for Jamaica had earned him the right to be called "ambassador" with full diplomatic privileges, including a diplomatic passport.

Highway 2000, linking several of the Caribbean island's key cities, will be renamed the Usain Bolt Highway and the runner will be given Jamaica's fourth highest national award, Golding announced in Parliament.

"I have advised the governor general to confer on Mr. Bolt the Order of Jamaica for his outstanding achievements for Jamaica at the highest level of athletic competition," Golding said...
