My family could live with it but would rather not. My friends are all the same way. They dislike black people and would probably disown me. I am not sure which way to turn. In order to gain a great husband, I'll probably have to lose some great friends and possibly my family. If we were totget married, how would we be treated by society, and what about our children? Would they be accepted and treated well? Would my family finally come around to truly accepting it? They treat my boyfriend nicely now, but would it all change if I got married to him? S.S.

Dear S.S. and L.G.i In an earlier column I outlined some of the risks and pitfalls of interracial relationships and the dangers of ill conceived motivations which may ? be tinged by the legacies of racism in the psychological makeups of both blacks and whites. The main issue you must come to terms with is whether or not you wish to take the social pressures and potential rejections that will come with such a liaison. Fundamentally, both the law and spirit of our country confer on you the light to select a marriage partner (or boyfriend) regardless of race, creed or color. Public polls indicate that \ Americans, especially whites, are growing more accepting of interracial coupling. Both of you should discuss all the pros and cons of your relationship and, if you concur, then proceed opening with your dating or marriage. You should not hide the relationship from your friends or parents because they will find out sooner or later. As you begin to catch more of a glimpse of their reactions, you will perhaps have more of an opportunity to test your commitment to your boyfriend. However, do not stay together solely because you wish to be defiant. If you and your mate love each other and are mature enough to withstand some social disapproval, you should stick it out and stay together. Remember, even couples of the same race have experienced disapproval from their friends and relatives. flf you have any questions for the doctors, tend voor letter to "Getting Alone* can of this newspaper.] fc] 1979, Summit Pre?
