      WOW! You liberals sure are sensitive. Where's your tolerance, acceptance and understanding of others who don't think like you? There was a group of people in Germany in the 30's and 40's who were intolerant and unaccepting. So sad that we have people like that in America in 2009.

    It seems that if I ask a question that proves your logic to be incorrect, then you just don't answer the question. I am not taking it personally. I'm just trying to understand how someone who has dated someone of another race, been in love with that person, and felt that love, believes that it is wrong for other couples to experience that.

    Your statement that my boyfriend is only with me because I'm white does not offend me. I know that this isn't the truth.

    Sometimes I wish people could just see the truth for themselves, rather than come up with untrue stories in their heads.

            You can look through my previous posts in this forum. There is no post that I have ever made that hasn't been based on the truth in my life, or my education. I think everyone here would back me up on that. I don't choose to defend my position on a matter to change someone, just to understand them. And I'm sorry, but I don't think I will get anywhere with you, because I still don't understand. When you avoid my questions you avoid admitting truth.

    I think, in general, not too many people think it's a big deal when there's a mixed-race couple.  Within the last year or so, though, I did watch a good program that addressed some of the issues that can arise for the children of mixed-race couples.  It was an intelligent, objective, look at some of the issues children of mixed race can (don't always) run into; but it also offered some of the things perceived as advantages by grown kids of mixed-race parents.  There were also, though, things perceived as disadvantages.  My point is, even if nobody thinks much about mixed-race marriages any more, there are apparently some issues parents need to be prepared to help children address (if they arise).  As with all other possible issues kids can run into having to deal with, I would assume good, solid, parents would know how to help their children deal with any issues that may arise from being of mixed race.

    Urias,
    Everyone has been trying to be civil and discussing your beliefs , you also have to listen to others without being condescending. I am in a interracial relationship and have been for 15 years neither one of us have a low self-esteem and both of us are quite educated. I do not have a low self-esteem whatsoever and I look at people for who they are not the color of their skin, nor there nationality. Here are my own personal thoughts on you. As you explained you dated a woman who was part puerto-rican and part-white you are condemning white women for dating outstide of there race, but you have not mentioned white men, whatsoever. Are you dating for love, or looking for a arm trophy? How would she have felt if she knew you were having this conversation? What was your purpose when it came to dating her? I am certain there is something about her that attracted you to her, and it certainly was not her nationality or skin color. I believe that somewhere a white woman has left you for another man outside of the white race, you were in love and she broker your heart. I understand your agitation however you do not have to take it our on others, mere listening and understanding would work, as it is simple education that plays a part. I do not see how it is wrong for a white woman, however it is right for a white man, this certainly does not make any sense. Read Galatians 3:28, Numbers Chapter 12, Moses second wife was Ethiopian and Romans 2:11 There is no partiality with God. There isn't anything written in the Bible that it is wrong to be married outside of your race. Many Christians have taken out of context in the old testament they are referencing marrying family members. The bottom line is if two people love the Lord with all of there hears, mind, body and soul and provided there are no other biblical issues that the two of you have to deal with, no where absolutely no where is it written that a couple cannot get married. smile

      LOL...I actually agree with much of what you are saying, AE.  You could see a lot written between the lines--all of them--with this guy.  Maybe I should have said something...I dunno. smile The dialogue may not have turned so stupid (though more longwinded, lol), for one, though I was trying not to be 'subjective.'  I guess... 

      But yeah, I think a woman must have left him for a guy of another race--just very recently.  Probably hurt more than he'd ever let on..and he really liked her. And from what you can see, he has a tendency to objectify and get a bit narcissistic as a defense.   

      And I don't know, but when I lived there, I found the East Coast pretty competitive in quite a few ways.  There is also a racial milieu that is at once more integrated, but also more separate in weird ways.  Especially in the city--Jewish neighborhoods, Italian neighborhoods, black neighborhoods. In NYC, when I lived there, I actually ran into people who said stuff in this century like "all the races mix together in the Village," and were serious, which is soooo old school.  But I found the East Coast was like that--New/Old and hyper competitive....  Also a lot of poor people--an inner city thing--and it isn't RIGHT, but given the way things are, 'nice' white people sorta have a tendency to separate themselves.  I somewhat know about this--I interviewed in several inner city black schools.  Cannot say I felt I totally belonged.

      I also actually had a relationship with a guy from the former Soviet Union's Georgia.  One of the reasons we broke up (despite the fact he was failing as an MD, which was the real reason) was the fact he wanted not just white, but full-blood Georgian kids.  Christ.  For real...and Georgia is about the size of Rhode Island. I'm telling you--Old School racial and nationalism stuff dies hard.

      And...I don't know if anyone else noticed, but this person was doing an online 'troll' version of a Spike Lee routine.  Anybody see Barber Shop?  Lee gets in trouble for bringing up these very issues all the time in his movies--and with his own race, even though those issues are more carefully drawn.  ....The troll guy crossed the line, though, with insulting people's significant others, directly, absolutely.  Like I said, these are not issues to be handled with sound bytes.

    My children are black and hispanic as well as have my white genes. My spouse, who is white, has had a lot of conflict with his church members since marrying me 7 years ago because the churches we preached at didn't like me being divorced and the stepkids of mixed heritage. It has been very hurtful. Most people judge me whether my kids are mixed or white (I have a little of each)not because of my kids' skin but because I have been divorced. You can never make everyone happy. People will judge no matter what!

    In general, if you care, you're missing out on better things to think about.

      Could be you don't know the history, GM, wink. Maybe it was before your time.

      And maybe I just like hearing myself write!  I'm very uppity like that.  But thanks for your opinion, smile

          Well said, "lxxy"!  If he's sitting around worrying about "who's dating who, who'se being true, and who don't even care anymore," he's NOT paying attention to bigger problems in the world.  Police Officers are being shot over breakfast, nut-jobs are blowing holes in their underwear (and not from the beans), and I think I heard today that the current administration has been releasing terrorists from Guantanamo Bay to Yemen and they are being recycled from Yemen back into the U.S. as shoe and underwear suicide terrorists.

          So, congratulations Mr.mdawson17, you must have a good job, money in the bank, and maybe your 401K bounced back, which leaves you with plenty of time on your hands to ponder such interesting sociological questions.

    NP.

    I know the history.

    But...it is as you say, history. wink

    I can see why it may seem fascinating...the very idea...that someone of one skin color to another couldn't get married in the land of the free without having a molative cocktail thrown at their house and all.

    I don't see anything wrong with dating outside of your race as long as they are good to you.  My boyfriend is chinese and he treats me wonderful.  So what he has a better tan than me.  Of course this is not how many folks look at it.  Me well I am not giving up my fellow over a racial issue.

    My family is very culterely rich

    My grand mother was American Indian,
    aunt-Panamanian/Korean,
    Brother-in-law /Syrian
    Step nephew Indian (India)
    Step father Black
    Sister-in-law Italian
    I myself an Irish , American Indian and German

    sometimes they are accepting, sometimes no, it is ok. We have our own prejudices, stereotypes. Much as we can we should try to be fair always. Goes with stereotyping. Unless they do things which will harm the couple and their children, then it becomes bad.

    We can't do anything with it, love conquers all for multi racial couple.

    My baby is a product of a multi racial love and the only thing I heard so far, was they asked me if she is my daughter. The color of my skin is less dominant. I just thought that maybe they meant no harm in asking.

    If you live life based on every random social norm out there, that's the life worth regretting for.

    America is so crazy to me sometimes, when I travel around the nation it's like visiting different countries. Racism just doesn't exist around here like it does around some areas  of the country.

    Plus all of you talk funny big_smile

    Many people don't realize, most Americans are bi-racial. Caucasians and Native American, or farther back with the Welsh who considered themselves a pure race and the Anglo Saxons. I would bet we all have some form of bi-racial blood coursing through our veins but the older generations seem to scoff at those marriages where one spouse is either black or hispanic and the other is white. I believe cultural differences can be overcome and the way the children are affected is not due to the parents but the way society perceives a bi-racial child. I am from the South, and despite the stereotype, there is not as much racism here as you would think.

    Advanced society should have no problem at all. Obviously, those who are from homogenous states or smaller countries may have issues.  Overall it is a moot point to society. and when it does come up, it creates interesting conversation

    I am in a interracial relationship.  My fiance and I recently had a beautiful baby girl who only lived 10 days.  The day she died we were at the doctors office and we were separated and interrogated being accused of abuse, when the doctors told them that this death was a SIDS death and there was no abuse shown.  We loved our daughter with every bone in our bodies and would have done anything for her.  I have never felt like i was being racially profiled until that day.. The WORST day of my life and I had to defend myself and my fiance for hours that we weren't bad parents.
