Interracial Couples

I hate the word in the first place, but for people to know what I am talking about and for them to know what they are coming into when they read the topic, I had to put it up there. The word itself already separtes us. I say us because I am a 17 year old white female dating a 17 year old black male. We have been together for 3 years and we are still going. I love him. I would let the whole world know and it wouldnt bother me. What I feel for him is beyond anything I have felt before. When people look at different races being together as a bad thing, I don't think that those people truely understand the meaning of love. The looks that you get and the comments that are made about two different races being together are pretty disgusting if you ask me. Sometimes it can be a shock or whatever people would like to call it, but they should never be judged about who they feel for. I admit that sometimes teh way that people are with eachother can be annoying. I know for me when I see white girls acting black just because they are with a black guy, i think that is so annoying. I have never been like that nor will I ever. I dont need to chnage how I talk or how I dress just because of the person I am with. I think just because someone has a different color skin, does not mean that they are not allowed to date anyone but their own race. I love being with him =) I just wanted people to know lol.

i understand what you mean, i have a best friend that loves black people and i do too but i have a boyfriend so i dont get bothered but her shes single she broke up with her boyfriend like a month ago and well people at school are always fussing because she likes black people... its not fair because shes aloud, im aloud... anybodys aloud to love black people they are the same as white people just the skin color is diferent. they have the same heart as white people.... at my point of you i give a thumbs up to anyone who loves or/and has a black soulmate!

they are great people too!

black, brown, white...they are all just colors. never judge a book by its cover, especially not solely its color!!! the only reason i think interracial couples could have difficulty is if the two people are greatly affected by what others think and let it skrew with their love for eachother

I agree with everyone...I'm a white girl deeply in love with a part black, part hispanic, part native american guy. My father is the most racist person on the face of the earth and he outrightly told me he hates my b/f because he's part black...but I just told him that I love him and he's just going to have to deal with it...It's not what's on the outside that counts...It's what's on the inside.

man that sucks about your dad, no offense but he needs to start living in the present. Black, white...these are just colors. Racism is ignorance.

My son is married to a black girl.I had concerns about how they would be treated at first but now I see that my son is strong enough to deal with any ignorant people he comes across. they have a four year old who completely owns my heart and who has taught me why racism is so wrong,It hurts people who have done nothing wrong.Now I am color blind and glad to be that way.

Colorblind is the way to go!

As long as you like the person, who's to judge?

Do what makes you happy, there's no point to life if you don't.

My parents are very racial. Of course I'm not that way because I've lived with my grandmother. My grandmother said it doesnt matter about the color it matters about how the person is inside.

When I was at my daddys house for a few weeks in the summer while i was seeing my mom i said that 50 Cent was cute. My dad blew out on me. He said that blacks are guys who just want to make white people puke. IT'S NOT TRUE. I won't even repeat the other things he said. He even said I COULD NOT be friends with black. Screw that. I asked my mom and she said that I could be friends but not date.

Well I met this guy, he's brown and his name is Chris. ((Chris Brown,, I WISH lol jk))

When I was talking to my mom on messenger a while back I told her. She got mad but I told her that it doesnt matter what color person is it matters on what they are inside. And how the treat you and make you feel. I told her shes gotta get over it because not everything can go 'their' way. Even though we wish it could. I even asked my grandma and she said she didnt care at all of who i date's raiciest(CANT SPELL IT RIGHT). Just as long as she approves of him and he treats me right and doesnt pressure me. And Chris doesnt do that. She approves so what if hes brown. If ppl dont like it they just need to get packed and moved on because not everything can go their way/

Guess What,
EVERYONE IS A COLOR
white people are white
the general sterotype for african americans
is black
white people sometimes tan
and turn brown
so LIKE OMGAH they're a different
color lets hate them.
grow up the world needs
to stop being so racist

for our choir concert last year
we did an african american section,
jewish section, and 1st nations people section
(native americans)
and when you sit there and listen
to their stories it makes you
SO ashamed to be part of the
caucasian race because its pathetic
how they get treated and
how certian people act like
they own the world.

i DONT see ANYTHING wrong
with interracial relationships
its what it means to you
that matters, people are just ignorant.

What is the big deal about dating someone of a different race? My new boyfriend is black and I really like him. He's also really likes me (I'm white). We just didn't look at how we look. Then my mom told me that she didn't believe it was right. She never thought it was but she is letting us go out..after saying no at first in shock...but now we are not even telling my dad until we have gone out a little more. then my mom is going to tell him because he is going to be so mad. It doesn't help that he is from a bad city with a stero type of black guys. But he is the most sweetest guy I ever met. He's the greatest guy ever!!

I told my friends about him and they had no problem with it. Some were a little surprised with me liking a black guy but then they were like whatever. One friend said that if I like this guy then it doesn't matter. I shoulndn't. I was even telling them about him and they were like it sounds like you have the perfect guy. He is and no one is going to stop us from being together. It's our lives so why should other people care?

This will probably spark a lot of anger, but my personal view is against interracial relationships.
I have nothing against people of different races or cultures, I get on with everyone regardless.
The thing is; they say that one day everyone will be a mixture of all races and I can't decide if I think that's a good thing.
From my experiences and upbringing, I've learnt not to trust a lot of males from other races as they seem to have less respect for women than white males.
Though, this said, white males can be just as bad.
I'm not sure where I stand on this, I know my fiancee doesn't agree with it, and personally I don't find men from other races actractive at all, but that's my opinion.
I would never prevent someone being involved with someone else of any other race and neither would I try to hurt them or insite prejudice against them.
It doesn't really effect me, but I know that I wont become involved with a male from another race.

i feel love is love.
it doesnt depend on color, religion, hair color, skin color, ethnic backgroud. and i believe gender.

if i fall in love with some one i do not care their race or religion or gender. if i lvoe them. i love them. (i know many do not agree with me.. too bad. i do not care. =])

Take asians for example then my dear. They don't allow women to do anything of their own accord.
From what I've learned, it's just that the women are too afraid to speak out of fear of being hurt again.

i feel love doenst have a color or sexual preference if the person your with makes u feel good then let it be...i know its hard to deal wit ppl talkin about it alot b/c my own parents dont like that fact ALL three of my sisters inculding me have dated outside our race...i see no problem wit it...yea i may attract to them but i dont judge them cuz they are black...they are the same as everyone else....just remeber love is a color its a feelin and if u have it wit sumone let it b...who cares wat the world thinks love is between and and sumone else not the world!!

Pretty T

"Take asians for example then my dear. They don't allow women to do anything of their own accord.

That's a pretty damn big generalization.

As for women being afraid to speak; well where the hell are all these women afraid to do so? I'd like to know, because the women I know have opinions bigger than my jimbo (That's a damn large opinion).

^ Lol.

No offense, I know that was your opinion, but here's mine about what you had to say about Asians.

Saying that one race is more obusive than the other, is stupid. It's like saying that all Muslims are terrorists because a couple of them set off a bomb. It's not right. Just because one person of that race does something bad, it doesn't mean that they are all the same.

Sorry but I’m confused I’m a white Aboriginal and before white people came here all Aboriginals were black so any relationship that I’m in its interracial ??? little kids just see other kids as a new friend no matter what colour skin so why can’t the rest of us ? I’m only 13 so I still have a lot to learn about how white adults see black adults and other way round but to me its just all so stupid
As humans we are created in gods image, is god black or white?

So why do we care so much?

Few caucasians (whites) have a problem with anyone who would marry a native American, Hispanic, Oriental, or Mid-Easterner. The real problem with those who have racial prejudices is their disdain for anyone who mates with someone who is black. That is, unless it is another black person.

This attitude stems from racial bigotry that has it's roots in slavery. Blacks are still seriously looked down upon by some in our society who have convinced themselves that they are somehow superior. As a result, the idea of a white being in a romantic relationship with a black is enough to make them go ballistic. Their narrow minds find it impossible to understand that true love knows no bounds.

The good news is that younger people are less apt to be as bigoted. Despite the news coverage given those who have been caught up in the Neo-Nazi movement, more young adults than ever accept those in interracial relationships and may even be involved in one themselves. Not only that, but the old argument that the offspring of such relationships will not be accepted by either race has been disproven. Those who have multiracial heritages are accepted and some have gone on to become well known sports figures, politicians, actors, major music personalities, and successful business people.

I completely agree with Millsy!!
