Inter-racial relationships...........

Hello everyone

I know this is a touchy subject but i have to ask this anyway. Why do people still oppose inter-raial relationships? I have always dated across my race but just recently I met a weird ex-boyfriend's mother. She got very angry when she found out that I have a different race than her son and even threatened to disown him. Well, it got too crazy anyway I ended the relationship. Now, I am just trying to understand why is this still an issue in year

I could speak VOLUMES on this, but I'll keep it short.

Ignorance is eternal.

I havent dated a black man in years, NOT due to preference, the circles I run in typically do not allow me to meet any. My family looks like the UN so no one cares, but I have had more than a few dates with guys that said, "I really like you... but my mom wouldn't."
wave if theres chemisty and love why does skin color matterconfused
Ignorance and peer pressure I guess
Jeez mother of god..i hate to burst the bubble but someone has to challenge this..even for a discussion purpose and yes its a sensitive issue because people are trying to be pc all the time......

Have i black friends ..sure do

asian friends ..sure do

do i have people and friends i know in inter-racial relationships...yep

now why do i think its not to everyones taste....because for one reason that jumps up at me is when i was growing up i remember the half cast kids not fitting into any particular group...white or black.....they were always taunted and had a hard time...it still goes on...so as i said thats just one reason.
Some people feel that having children with a different race contaminates their gene line and is irresponsible. They don't want to turn their purebred line into a mutt breed.

Others feel sorry for the children in that they are not totally accepted into either side.

And other are just prejudice to different races.
The matter of fear because of Race is still a part of our every days lives and specially in the western part of the world unfortunatily. Rasicm is the pleague of this 21.th century resulted and more strong now on days because of terrible politicians on power in the most strong nations on planet . Greed, unfairness, Lack of respect for human rights, and i beleive not understanding the power of the net to do some thing a bout this disease of Rasicm is the main reason darling. Human beings are unfortunatily so easy to serduce in the wrong way and hate has become a part of many countries laws and therfor the disease of Hate is not cured still. there is a need for a peace movement like it happened in 60,s so peace and care and love taking over a gain. There is a need for making a real peace all over the world so Rasicm will go back the the dark corners of history a gain and people will be ashamed a bout being sick and accepting that sickness of Hate as it is perfectly normal.
confused It is not just with the dating thing, it is in our every day life. I just bought a new car a couple of months ago. The salesman was of dark compextion I asked him where he was from, he said Iraq, a few minutes later the sales manager approuched me and asked If I had a problem with the salesman Asked him why would I? The manager said that he had -had a couple of problems in the past from customers in the and was just checking, Bought the car.
I work for a man from India and manage a hotel for him. One reason that I work for him is he is smart enough, and in his own words people don,t like him because of the color of his skin. ISN'T THAT PITTIFULL. I am 65 and the man from India is one of the best people that I have ever worked with. Just one more comment. When I was in high school my father gave a guy $100.00 that I knew to hurt me because I was dating a girl of greek decent. The guy told me about it, and him and I went out and partied with my girlfriend and his on my dads money had a great time
Well enough said about the racial thing it is here and it will be here until the day comes when we either learn how to accept each other the way we are or we kill each other off

BRENT
I really don't understand why (especially in this day and age) people are still prejudiced and touchy about interracial relationships...I think dating cross-culturally is wonderful in terms of learning about other cultures, and being exposed to different ways of thinking, perceiving and experiencing life, and broadening your mind and soul...I am Indian, and have only dated 2 Indian men in the past...most of my boyfriends have been European (Irish, English, Norwegian, Italian, French), American (White, Latino, Black), and I have had amazing experiences with all of them----travelling, food, cultural practices, family, and a whole lot of FUN....I think inter-racial relationships can be beautiful if you are adventurous and open minded....dancing hug smitten
The ignorant thing that some people say is that skin color is just skin deep.

Skin color says who you are, your heritage, culture, background. Not for ever single person, but generally.


If I painted myself black and went to Africa, there is no way I could fit in. Even If I was accepted, I would know that I was out of place and never feel like I belonged. Skin is just an easy way to identify race, and race is not skin deep.
This is for Tollen

I grew up in Africa. We have black, white, Indian and mixed race Africans. So, I don't get it if you say you would not fit in ? I went to school and made friends with people from different races and no one ever felt out of place or thought of painting themselves black . I think you have a wrong view about Africa then. Africa does not mean black. I hope you got to learn something today.

Blogs ca be very educational.
The two best girls I ever met in my life were Afro American. I think about them constantly and hope they are doing well.

I am an equal opportunity type of guy.

Rigidity concerning relationships causes great pain.

Flexability gives people additional opportunity for growth.

Smile and move forward.
