I received the following article (via BlackAmericaWeb.com) from Alicia at Reality Life magazine regarding a new reality show titled, Interracial Love that will air on VH1 this fall. Some of you may have already heard of it by now...for those who haven't or are interested in becoming a potential contestant/cast mate, peep the info below.
VH1 has reportedly given a green-light to Interracial Love, a reality show about a white male looking to find an African American girlfriend. Writer "Lynn" of VH1realityworld.com says the show will start casting in June for a fall 2008 premiere. The series will follow Tobias White (shown in the middle of the photo above) and his two bi-racial sons 14-year old Marcus (shown on the far left in the photo above) and 15-year-old Zachary (shown on the far right in the photo above) as they look to add a wife and mother to the family. In an interview with Lynn last July, White explained his preference for black women. "I’m a white male and I’ve always dated only black women. I just always have," he said. "It’s not that I’m prejudiced against my own race, but it just seemed a better fit for me. And now I have two children that are bi-racial. I’ve seen so many shows like the Bachelor and now Age of Love, The Rock of Love and Joe Millionaire. They always have 19 or 20 white women on the show and they’ll have one black woman. It’s almost like it was set up for the black woman to get voted off.
"To me, with the mother of my kids being black, I think it’s a disrespectful thing. And I was just thinking one day about a year ago that this would be a good reality show. Me and my sons want a good woman in our lives, and who better to help me find my Queen, than my sons? Who knows me better than my sons?"
