Black Man Gets Locked Up Because Of Letter To President Obama

Not everyone expects a response when they write a letter to the president of the United States. But Caroline Jamieson got much more than she expected when her husband ended up in jail and afraid he would be deported. Jamieson, vice president of marketing at a new-media advertising company, wrote President Barack Obama in January because her husband, Hervé Fonkou Takoulo, was facing deportation to his native Cameroon. Takoulo failed in a bid before political asylum almost a decade ago, and a judge issued a deportation order after they were married. After he and Jamieson married on 2005, Takoulo applied for a green card based on his marriage to a U.S. citizen. But immigration law requires that the deportation order be lifted before the couple can appear before immigration officials to argue their case that the marriage is legitimate and not a ploy to legalize Takoulo's presence in the United States. More after the jump...

OK, let me get this straight, they went against the deportation laws but the wife felt a "kinship" with the President and because the process was "difficult to do" she writes a personal letter to him which gets her husband locked up?

Caroline Jamieson you win DWB's first Vuvuzelas Award. I salute you!

International & Interracial Meetup Groups

The Flavor Tribe: Flavor Tribe is a new social club that brings people together who are interested and involved in cross-cultural / ethnic/racial relations and relationships. Our gatherings offer a fusion of community connection and open discussion on the experiences, issues, benefits and challenges of those in the mixed couples/dating scene- Stacy


Flavor Tribe, a relatively new group, is organized and operated by a cute guy name Stacy. Stacy is serious about his club and he can be Twittered, Youtubed, emailed and found on three different websites. Flavor Tribe is also coming to Facebook. I told ya'll Chicago ain't playing lol

Women in Interracial Marriages To White Men Group: The purpose of this group is to bring together vibrant, successful, classy, sophisticated non-white women who are married or want to be married to white men.  There are numerous obstacles that women must overcome to make interracial relationships last and flourish, and we would love to share and learn from each other’s experiences to take our relationship to new heights. We would love to empower and enrich each other’s lives to move forward in a positive direction toward our goals, ambitions, and vision for our future. 

This group is also new.  They haven't had their first meetup yet. So if you happen to be in the San Francisco area, give it a go!

Boulder Swirl: Our membership includes parents, children, and interracial couples of multi-racial, trans-racial, and interracial identities in the Boulder and Denver area who share experiences, support one another, have fun, learn and come together to build a strong nurturing community.

They say Colorado is the place to be for interracial families. Let's prove them right!

Interracial Singles- Tired of all those old-timers afraid of "mongrelizing" the race? Want to join a singles group but one is either black or the other has only white people in it? Well, this world is too big to let our minds remain so small.- Cori

This group is in my neck of the woods. Interracial Singles is organized and ran by cutie-pie Cori. I must say that I'm really impressed with what she's done in such a short period of time.  Interracial Singles is VERY active and it's pretty common to see events fill up rather quickly.  Cori's group comes nothing close to what I've experienced in the past with other IR Meetup groups.  I signed up for the Indoor Skydiving trip and I can't wait!
