| Interracial Dating.... Posted: 7/5/2005 7:50:03 PM | marathonman... this statement is a fine example of why people have a very hard time understanding anything you say "In many countries interracial dating is more common that intraracial dating." can't you speak without trying to make yourself look more intelligent than we know you are? you'd get further in trying to get your point accross if you just typed as you'd speak to someone instead of trying to use big words that don't exist and all those annoying little smiley face things. it's really hard to take someone seriously when the majority of your posts are riddled with that sort of crap.
"intraracial" is not a proper word or at least not that i could find anywhere. it's like trying to have a conversation with don king... you don't get to just make up words as you go along, although it might be kind of fun, it does nothing to get your point accross and kind of helps you to lose credibility, if there's any to lose.
now, there is such thing as the "intranet" but unfortunately, that word doesn't apply to this topic. | |

Too bad,you couldn't find it. Still,it exist Here is a breakedown for ya the prefix intra means within(inside). Intraracial means within a "race"/"racial" grouping. It is a sociological term used more in recent years sice interracial dating,adoptions ect. has come under study.Interracial means between/across racial grouping,intraracial means within racial grouping. You are welcome for this lesson as well.
Oh, I did make another typo.....I typed "that" instead of "than" oh well. | |

Some of the biggest bigots in history had sex with someone of another race at some point. The key to dating ANYONE regardless of "race" is to learn as much about them and their group(s) as possible.This allows for a greater understanding.Understanding adds to communication and communication is 1 of the biggest most important keys to dating. Remember there is much more variation within the groupings called races than BETWEEN them
Yeah, I agree. I do a lot of research on the extreme right in Canada. I've talked to people in these groups (self-declared neo-nazis, and their actions prove it). One dated a Jewish woman for a while. Another married a native Canadian. Another married a Chinese woman. I met one who loved their experience living in Africa. I spent a lot of time talking with one about where they should move-China, Korea, or somewhere in Africa. | |

Drug,tobacco and alcohol free here. Your profile list you as a smoker. That crack has has really affected your thinking. No wonder your post lack substance and simply are personal. Your attempts to hijack this thread will fail.Your bitterness is obvious.
I was told once that you shouldn't throw stones if you live in a glass house.
Have you ever heard of that saying? I imagine you know the definition of the word hypocrite. You accuse whosyourbadkitty of hijacking this thread when you yourself have more posts, count them.
On another note I can tell you are proud of your posting abilities - but seriously, you do realize that a person doesn't have to use big words to prove his point or his intelligence? While I am at it, you just personally attacked whosyourbadkitty in the above paragraph. Do you really think that makes your opinions any more correct?
Perhaps now I am throwing the stones, anyways...
Remember there is much more variation within the groupings called races than BETWEEN them.
I see, so what you are really confirming is that there is differences amongst the races. Is that correct? That seems to go hand in hand with this article on a recent scientific study which claims a certain race is prone to high IQ's. Read it for yourself:

Does this have anything to do with inter-racial dating? Well, thats up to each of you individually - to each his own. | |

Iam "dating" a wonderful guy,,he is muzlim(sorry about the spelling),,anyway iam white,,i have NO problem with his back ground,,but his mom does,,she doesnt want him dating anyone outside his race,,he has kept me a "secret"which bugs me,,he says he doesnt want his mom "nagging"at him about me being white..am i wasting my time?
No. My ex stopped our relationship due to heavy influence from her dad (he didn't want her to see anyone, not just me). Then the two of them stopped talking. He just passed away a couple months ago. I was willing to see her, despite what her father thought. Things ended so badly between us, it's definately over for good. At the time, it was the most amazing relationship I had ever had. I hate the fact that we don't even keep in touch. | |

Let me see......the threads title says "Interracial Dating...." not bitter racist lies. I have NEVER been banned nor have I EVER had another screen name on POF. Now, YOUR statement seems to be grounds of a suspension if not banning. Its 1)a LIE
2)WAAY off topic
3)Slander
I don't know what your problem is. You have clearly been anti AfricanAmerican on EVERY thread that has anything to do with race. Is there a question as to why an AfricanAmerican kid would have issues when his mother is clearly anti AfricanAmerican and bitter for NO reason? Another interesting thing is that when you've been confronted with the illogic and misinformation of your brand of racism and bias,you begin to do nothing more than take pot shots and and lies instead of facing your issues. If this is what you wish fine. I have enjoyed laughing at your bitter and misinformed post. There I believe are rules against posting off topic slanderous lies. YOU HAVE VIOLATED THOSE RULES!
On topic,interracial dating is actually a reality that is based upon a concept of "race" that is rooted in racism. In other words there is no reason for "race"(or rather racial groupings) outside of the sociological contsruct of racist. | |

| Interracial Dating.... Posted: 7/8/2005 6:05:21 PM | that's totally my mistake marathon... i thought you had changed your screen name. not a cool assumption on my part, i apologize for that mistake.
i'd also appreciate it if you refrained from calling me a "racist" or "anti AfricanAmerican" as that's just a big a "lie", "way off topic", "slanderous" and defamatory in nature. it may not have been nice of me to assume you had been banned but that doesn't hold a candle to being accused of being a racist and including my son in that comment. | |

| Interracial Dating.... Posted: 7/8/2005 7:45:52 PM |
that's totally my mistake marathon
Now, come on....was it a "mistake"? How could it be? I've ALWAYS used the same screen name.
i'd also appreciate it if you refrained from calling me a "racist" or "anti AfricanAmerican" as that's just a big a "lie", "way off topic", "slanderous" and defamatory in nature. Hmmmm I never called you a racist. I said your POST reflect a brand of racism. I said your post on ALL topics in which the remote issue of race has been introduced have ALWAYS presented 1 "race" in a negative light,this is what I call being "anti AfircanAmerican the term and the "group".This is MY opinion based upon OBSERVATION of your POST. If I stated that you killed someone or prostituted THAT would be a lie if I had no evidence or based it upon heresay or made it up. HUGE difference. You seeing them as being the same,similar or close makes it impossible to accept an appology as being sincere,instead as something you thought you'd do to avoid what SHOULD(again in my opinion) occur which is YOU being banned or suspended. If you make no antiAfricanAmerican post I won't call you out on them. Also, your last 3 or 4 (maybe 4 out of 5) post have been directly or indirectly directed towards me without a direct comment ON TOPIC. Simple snaps.Clearly, this is not the sign of maturity and responsiblity. If the RULES are to be obeyed by ALL. You MUST be banned or suspended. As I understand the rules posters may direct comments towards POST and the nature of them. By stating the illogical and anitAfricanAmerican nature of your POST from current events(particularly) to here,I believe it is possible to point them out.I have. Understand the difference or NOT,your presence on POF by RULE is predicated on your ablity to follow them. Therefore it would seem order on POF would be predicated on the moderators enforcing them by the nature of the rules impartially.
Now,Back to the TOPIC.......I'd estimate that 20% of the households in my neighborhood are "interracial". There simply is no problem with it in my nieghborhood nor in the public schools in this area.95% of those in my neighborhood are home owners/buyers.The property value is 200% of the city's mean. My point? There is no problem to dating interracially UNLESS one ALLOWS there to be.Interracial relationships are like ANY relationship; 2 people must WANT to learn about eachother,embrace and celebrate commonality and differences communicate OPENLY and honestly and WORK for a future if desired.People should NEVER date BECAUSE of "race",nor exclude because of "race",but acknowledge it,embrace it,study it and move forward if it is there. | |

| Interracial Dating.... Posted: 7/8/2005 8:34:40 PM | Marathon, I used to assume that all arguments are a means to the same noble end of furthering the truth. Some use them as a way to manipulate others into eliciting an emotional response.
How can you tell which is which? Well you pointed out the holes early on. So if it walks and talks like it, you call it what it is, a glorified rope-a-dope.
Which would be cool if it wasn't so unoriginal.
Save your time on this one, the only argument needed here is of the "I'm rubber and you're glue" kind. | |

| Interracial Dating.... Posted: 7/9/2005 2:48:55 PM | | I dont see anything wrong with interaccial dating, hell I've been doing it for the past couple of years......I LIKE IT......Sometimes you have to date someone "different" to find the one who is the "same" as you.... | |
|
| Interracial Dating.... Posted: 7/9/2005 3:23:00 PM | I don't see anything wrong with it as I would expect most people in this day and age. However, sometimes I go to lunch with a female friend who is African American, in a busy downtown area. We are well dressed and it looks like we're together as a couple. The ONLY people to say anything... yell something, or give us dirty looks are African American men. | |
|
| Interracial Dating.... Posted: 7/9/2005 5:44:38 PM | | That's because they're jealous, and I wouldnt stress it one bit.........So dont even think or dwell on it....I don't and I live in NC, where so many people are against interaccial dating, but I do it anyway | |
|
| Interracial Dating.... Posted: 7/9/2005 6:16:03 PM | | I was just cruising through the forums, stumbled on this one, read a number of the posts and I am left wondering why the issue of race is still such a topic of debate... Seems to me, in my humble opinion, that the color is second to the character. And another thing (not directed at any one person), why is that the smaller the brain, the bigger the mouth? Just my two cents. | |
|
| Interracial Dating.... Posted: 7/9/2005 6:33:55 PM | One thing....
Worried about the folks Ill say lol. Old School and they are immigrants from Cambodia during the slaughter :S | |

| Interracial Dating....nothing uncommon, lots of understanding and respect needed.. Posted: 7/9/2005 8:06:26 PM | | In a cosmopolitan society, it's just so common. There is nothing wrong with this, it's a fact of life, there would more interracial dating and mixed marriages due to crossing borders and exposures to different cultures. It could be an interesting way of life, what you can't find in your own culture - you'll get to see in others. I see it as learning something new all the time. I don't mind dating a caucasian but not others especially one who respects and genuinely appreciates my culture. | |

| Interracial Dating....nothing uncommon, lots of understanding and respect needed.. Posted: 7/9/2005 8:36:43 PM | | Why is it men tend to date people from certain backgrounds (races), while women tend not to as common? For example, white guys are more likely to date asian women, but white women don't date asian men as much. White women are more likely to date black guys, while white guys don't date black women as commonly. | |
