Should Inter-Racial Marriage Be Encouraged? (69)
handsomest: I am African and i love to wed a European. Many people think it won't work, in the long run. I don't think so and they think I am either crazy or not real to myself. But I want to do what i want to do. I think inter racial marriage will reduce racial tension and promote global understanding. Obama of the US is a critical example. However, i want to hear your opinion.
No it shouldnt be encouraged, but if the two parties involved think its ok, its up to them.

Why do you use Obama as a "critical" example?WHO can or cannot "encourage" an inter-racial marriage..?
Sounds like one should go round trying to convince friends to marry certain people because of the colour of their skin or nationality? Surely it`s up to two people to decide if they want to live together .....?There was one famous case where a Swiss girl married a guy from Africa ... that tribe who stand on one leg, wear red blankets, and drink ox blood (cant remember their name).. and she had to learn to live like them... and couldnt manage it - she ran away back to CH with their child, and still lives here. She had expected him to be what to her was a "normal" husband by her western standards, and he had expected her to adapt to the African rural tribal ways ...... Big Failure, sadly.
Extreme cultures is hard to adapt to - but if you both enjoy one type of lifestyle .. then that would work, huh?

skin color does not define love.

Could be wrong,old age an failing eyes an all that,but I could swear that Obama,s wife is just like him,a darker shade of pale.
So you want to marry a nationality rather than someone you can love ? Strange,sounds like you are looking for a marriage of convenience to obtain legal staus in Europe.Can,t think why else anyone would attach such importance to nationality.

Ah yes, Conrad, that`s the tribe! The Masai - a wonderful independent and proud race of people!
The movie that was made about this couple was realy quite sad to watch ....... you could see how this couple were attracted to each other ... but their up-bringings and "cultures" was just too much of a shock when it came down to ordinary day to day life ... especially to the woman who was more used to a gentle way of life.

Strangely enough, an Australian woman did just that a number of years ago. She went on an extended vacation, lived there with the traditional people and fell in love with this tall, strapping Massai man. She married, and had the traditional Massai wedding.
She wrote about living in their small hut, with the ususal meagre surroundings as everyone else. When her husband's male friends visitied, she had to leave the room. She had already grown accostmed to it while she lived in the village before marriage, so it was easy for her. She just happened to accept the package deal and went into marriage with a Massai with her eyes fully open.
Last I read, was that they had opened a tour company in Africa. Success story.

I'm suposed to say no. Since mine failed, but it depends on wich way you enter.
Being married to another race/culture also means uprooting change off friends etc. and it's hard.
In my beleif/experince it works when you do it out off love or respect. When it works it's the most revarding experience you can have, but it springs to mind that in Denmark interacial marriage has much higer change off failure.
So think twice and go ahead

cristina: Smoky, you are definitely absurd! As if you didn't that there are other types in Africa than those traditional Massai type?
Lusciousmile is from Kenya, where the Massai are from, they are extreme to her, totally another world...definitely not her kind of man!
You should be more truth to everybody!

Dear old people, at your ages I will be full of love, more wisdom and intelligence and dedicating my life to catch positive energy for when my grand children come about. Needless to say that I will have my own pension and enjoying it as much as I can, because by then, I will have worked brilliantly. I'm educated, really and I do work as a Jurist...that brings a certain financial relaxation after evolving professionaly (which I will) through the years, you know?
At your ages, I will certainly be even better refined!

Ahhhhh, howdy! So nice of you to feel I am absurd. Absurd is the pinacle I have been attempting to reach for many years - and now you give me encouragement that I may have finally succeeded! Thank you kindly for that.
Now, you know, I definitely did not have ANY influence over that Swiss girl choosing to marry a Masai chap! No, she did it on her own. I did not even have one single share in the film company who made the movie! I only watched the movie.
Now, I don`t blame your friend Lusciouslips for not wanting to marry a nice Masai boy - gosh - not her style at all - hence why she hot-tailed to Europe I guess huh?
You would like me to be more truth to everybody? I am usually more truth than most people can handle - you included! ha ha ha
But, you are wanting more truth! Okay, I like to make people happy - specially with lots of truth! Most especially I cannot resist such a plea from you - your education is very important.
Okay, which truth first? Okay, yes .....plenty of different tribes in Africa. But most people in the world already know that. All the tribes are different - everyone knows that too. But most people only pay attention to the different black tribes - when there are also vast sects of white tribes there.....
You get the Namaqualanders, the East Coasters, the West Coasters, The Kaapies, Free Staters, Vaalies, Durbanites, Southcoast Bums, Hey-Bro-Ganja-ous, Colonial Sugar Barons, Plattelanders, Musgravites, Kloof Potty-Heads, Pointroad Prossies, Parktown Prawns, Karretjiemense (nomads who live in their donkey carts)......
Oooh, then there are all the other colours of people and the way they divide themselves up into their groups by religion or where they come from, or their names, or whatever ....... All the muslims and hindus .....can get awfully complicated if you try and make ethnicitîes a means of colour-coding everyone! So, molstly people just make friends with like-minded people who like each other and have similar interests and hobbies or their kids go to the same school, or they play sport at the same sports club ..... simple daily things that normal people do, ya know?
You see now? ...... I hope I havent bored everyone else with such details, just in trying to enlighten you in your quest for whatever it is you seeking, besides my approval, in your life.
Okay, NEXT QUESTION?
PS. You should try and see that movie .... even the one Venere talks of .... very interesting. Of course it wont apply to you, except in reverse if you marry a white guy from Europe and take him back there. But your family probably live more normal hey? Not all tribal bush-like in mud huts?

Lots of Europeans living in Africa without the stress of sticking on white zones like in your country! Smoky, you really know little about how Europeans love it there and do prefer it there!
Shame on your pathetic bias. This is because you want to get more Europeans supporting you, here? Smoky, where do you come from? You are scaring me even more!
