White Man Recalls Threats When He Started Dating Black Woman

Raleigh Ceasar remembers the taunts and threats when he, a white man, began dating Carla, a black woman in Brooklyn in the early 1990s.

"People said things on the street. My family disapproved immensely, even though I grew up in an extremely diverse, international suburb of Washington, D.C. ," said Ceasar, 44, whose parents didn’t attend the wedding when he married Carla 15 years ago.
