Interracial relationships

[shotupdeer]

Whats everyones opinion on them? I have no problem with them. After all, we are all people regardless of the color of our skin.

[wtnhunt]

Dont think it is fair to the kids that often are a result.

[shotupdeer]

And why is that?

[wtnhunt]

Because whether people like you like it or not there is racist ideas out there held by both blacks and whites and others as well. There is on all sides still those out there with so much hatred they will resort to violent acts against those who are different from them. These kids often do not fit in and are subjected to hatred from kids who do not accept them.

It is not natural in my opinion and YES I will say it I am against interracial relationships, reason I stated being the primary reason.

So why do you think it is right?

I like that answer. Me myself, I would NEVER enter in an inter-racial relationship and will DO EVERYTHING I CAN, to have my kids not wind up in one either. Now personnaly, I don't care what people do or who they are married to but when it comes to my family, I will do my best not to let it happen. Do I see anything wrong with it, Nope...as long as it has nothing to do with my family

And like wtnhunt says, I think it is often times hard on the children that are so often the result.

I see nothing wrong with inter-racial relationships.
Heck, I'm Irish and married a Dutch girl.

I think kids are more tollerable now days than back when I was a kid,,stone age...actually 60's...I have absolutely NO problem with interrational couples at all. We all are humans and we are all capable of love.

Good call Norm. It may come with hardships at first, but it is much more excepted in other parts of the country. Here in DC it is very common due to the diversity of our schools for many years now. Look at our Nation's history....... it used to not be cool to marry a Native American.....then maybe an Italian.....then a Puerto Rican....etc.

We all bleed the same color.

Actually the...Ra..uh..uh...Mid-Eastern people bleed what seems like a darker red


Also, I wasn't exactly talking about different countries here. I took the post as he meant Black-White-Mexican..etc...not Polish and Dutch or German. Just to clarify that.

Mexico is a Country

My point was just saying that years ago it was considered wrong to marry a "foriegner" and now it is accepted. White and Black is still pretty new in most parts. Still no difference. There are also "difficulties" when people marry someone from a different culture or religion. Overcoming difficulties is what makes us stronger.....Like a Mature Whitetail Buck!

Yeah, I guess Mexico is a country

When I read the post, I was thinking Black and White...that was it. That is the first thing that usually pops into people's minds when you start talking about interracial relationship.

I guess what I am saying is I am not worried about my kids marriying into a different culture ie, swedish, polish, dutch to name a few. What I am saying is that I would never enter a Black and White relationship and would try to sway my children into not doing that either. I do not look down on people that do. Hey..to each is own right? I am just answering the post. I am saying that I never would and hope that my boys dont as well. That's all. Sometimes your fingers don't type exactly what you are trying to say

Why is this in the politics room???? To answer your question, I have no problem with mixed couples. Anyone that does needs to stop living the past. It is past y2k. Time to grow up. What wrong with milado kids or whatever? I know several. They are no different than anyone else.

I think Norm's right. Problem is.........there's still a bunch of old, biggoted ignoramuses out there. I could forsee the difficulties that could arise for children of a mixed racial background. Would I agree that those difficulties warrant staying out of an interracial relationship?? Nope. Not if it's what makes you both happy. I suspect that there would be a whole bunch of us old married folk who would still be single if we would have chickened out over possible strikes against our futures or the opinions of others.

[TreeStandBowHunter]

I could see this coming a mile away...Anyway, LIKE I SAID, I do not have a problem with it either. I would just never do it and I hope my kids dont either. We all know problems in kids and marriages can occur in any marriage but the chances are greater in a mixed relationship. Look, being in the Marine Corps, which is very diverse, there are and I know alot of inter-racial married couples and so many times I have seen them fail and the kids are the middle of it. Again, I know it can happen in ANY family but the statistics are there folks, rather you want to believe them or not.

I have no problem with it, strip off the outer shell and we all look the same. My fiance's older sister is married to a black man and he is one of the best people I know. I personally am not really attracted to African-American girls so I can't really see myself in an interracial relationship, except maybe Halle Berry or Beyonce, thats about the only two, but, you can't control who you fall in love with. I read a report a couple years ago that black women were increasingly dating outside their race because black women are more likely to advance their education or careers wheras black men are more likely to not make anything of themselves. I personally don't have a problem with it, to each his own
