What do you think about Interracial relationships?

in my opinion, interracial couples always make the cutest babies :happy:

I wouldn't go that far.

I think all babies should be born equal. Doesn't mean they are all born cute! :noway:

My boyfriend is black and ofcourse, I am white.. And to make us even more "different" I am from Canada and he is from the US. I feel like so many people are judgemental of us. And assume, I am a trashy white girl and he is a ghetto black guy. This is not the case. He is educated and may dress a certain way, but is far from what people perceive him to be. I'm so tired of people judging our relationship based on our difference in cultures. I see him as a person, I don't think of the color of his skin everyday. What do you all feel about interracial relationships? Have you ever been in one or are you in one? And by interracial, I obviously don't just mean black and white relationships.

I guess there will always be idiots out there, and I'm sorry that they affect you. There is nothing wrong with being in an "interracial relationship". (Put that in quotes because you shouldn't even have to use that term! You are in a relationship...period.) If you are committed to each other, love each other, and are good to each other why does it matter?

I don't care who anyone loves. It's love, let it be.

Didn't even know it was an issue anymore...certainly, as a society weve come further than that! Good luck and God bless. BE HAPPY and treat each other well and it's all good!

Yea...I think it really depends on what area you're in. Some areas are filled with people who are intolerant of such things as interracial relationships among other things, while other areas are full of all sorts of "differences" and the people there embrace every last one.

I, personally, don't have an issue with it at all...I've been in an interracial relationship myself. I'm white, he's black. I haven't noticed any off behavior towards us.

However, I have a friend who is white and she is married to a black man, and I've witnessed racism towards him, but not to them as a couple.

I know, sadly, racism still exists in this country.

I am going to dip my toe into this. I know I will probably get shunned, but so be it.

I do not have an issue with interracial relationships. What ever makes you happy. But I am a hypocrite when it comes down to 1 thing. At this point in time ( My daughter is 2) I would not approve of her dating someone that their race was something other than white. I know I am a bad person. I just would be very disappointed in my daughter. I will not tell her as she is growing up that it is wrong, or that I would be mad at her. If someone makes her happy, that is fine, it would just take time for me to adjust to it. I was raised in a house that I was NEVER to bring a boyfriend who was anything other than white home. My parent's are NOT racist. They have black friends, but they were raised that way as well.

This is just my 2 cents.

You my dear are a racist. And the worst kind. The one who doesn't know they are. I am African American. I have quite a few white friends whose daughters are dating black men and they truly have no issue with it. To say you have black friends proves the old sterotype. Ill socialize but you aren't welcome to date my child. That is so awful. I feel bad for you. There are many many good men of other races that you may never get to know. Let me leave you with this. My father in law who is white was a racist. Both of his sons married out of their race... One daughter in law is black (me) and the other is hispanic... God does have a sense of humor.

Yes, you are so dead on with your post.

I am white and married to a black man.

The whole saying I have black friends is the most racist thing a person can say, especially a white person.

I also feel bad for people like this because there is no changing them because they will vehemently deny who and what they are.

Let's say your daughter is being pursued by two men:

One has no education, a dead-end job and while he's a nice enough person, he drinks a little too much.

The other is Harvard-educated, makes a six-figure income and treats your daughter like gold.

Guy #1 is white. Guy #2 is black.

Which do you hope she chooses?

Exaggerate much?

And I have used that sentence several times before, and I am most certainly not a racist.

It's a context thing, which was explained in the parts you didn't quote.

I'm sure its the black guy. It will be like the OJ Simpson case. Everyone knew he was beating Nicole. But it was apparently okay because he had money and was supporting the family. Then when he killed her they all suddenly had issue with the abuse. Releasing the pics of Nicole battered and bruised. Money will help some overlook many things. Race being one of them. Abuse being another

Let me also claify. I believe that they were ok with the abuse because they knew about it and continued to take his money and allow him to be apart of their family

So you can have black friends, but you're not allowed to fall in love with them.....nice. I find it amazing that people say things like this, and then always feel the need to shout, "But I'm not racist!!!" lol. Sorry, hon, you're not convincing anyone. We're either all equal or we're not. You CAN'T have it both ways.

ignore ignore ignore and do what makes YOU happy. I am white, married to a Mexican Korean who has tattoos everywhere, even on the back of his head. do people judge? aahhh hell yah - but they are not the ones who know him, wake up to him, fall asleep to him or see and know him on the inside. its hard, but you just need to ignore all the racist people out there - if he makes your heart sing, then you found the one, regardless of his color (or yours).

I am Caucasian and my fiance is Cantonese. Surprisingly we do get a lot of people that make comments or give us weird looks. Normally it is other Asian people. My family was very accepting of our relationship, his was not. I can't believe race is still an issue any more.

I've never been in one but that is only because the opportunity has never really presented itself. I live in a predominately white area, so most dating opportunites are with whites of course.

The one time I almost became involved with a black woman, we decided that we didn't want to risk losing our friendship.

I have no problem with it myself. Love is colorblind.
