| How do you feel about interacial dating? Posted: 7/30/2008 9:49:47 PM | I think interracial couples are awesome, my last ex was infact a white girl around my age, it was good while it lasted and didn't work out since she moved, wouldn't mind dating outside my race again though. | |

| How do you feel about interacial dating? Posted: 9/10/2008 12:08:50 PM | As both of my parents are biracial, with no overlap in ethnicity between the two of them to create me...every single time I date I do it "interracially".
What's the big ole deal?

| How do you feel about interacial dating? Posted: 9/13/2008 12:16:14 PM | I have not read all posts , but here are my 3 cents ... if you are asking me if I would date another human , I sure as hell hope so ... I dont see color never have never will,, its the human that counts , all else is BS . now I do draw a line on green or blue... for my kids I raised them the same way ... matter of fact mt 12 year old has a little black flame,, she is a cute as a button , nice and totaly sweet ..... he totaly adores her ...... he still young , but my family never goes by what the norm is ...... but what the normal is for us ... and seeing no color for us is normal JMO | |

Okay, here we go....
Live your life!! The rules of engagement go as follows:
If you see her, be with her! Whether she looks like Whoopi Goldberg, Paz Vega, Roseanne or Lucy Liu...enjoy her! | |

| How do you feel about interacial dating? Posted: 9/13/2008 6:09:10 PM | | As long as 2 people treat each other well I don't see a problem with a partner be it same color or same sex. As far as allowing our children - well that's just silly - they will do what they want and what their heart tells them. I think we do a severe disservice to ourselves and others by being prejudice. It's not only sad but ignorant to judge someone by race or color but, unfortunately, prejudice is alive and well all over the world. | |

There is never a reason to date outside your race.
Ever.
Dare I ask....
What do you mean by this? Just curious, if you mean we shouldn't date outside the "human race"? | |

| How do you feel about interacial dating? Posted: 9/16/2008 3:26:59 PM | | I personally don't date outside my race for various reasons. I would never tell someone else who to date/marry/fall in love with though. | |

| How do you feel about interacial dating? Posted: 9/16/2008 6:42:43 PM | I think interracial dating is awesome! I think mixed babies are so beautiful.. I've dated white ,yellow, mixed & hispanic.. never been with my own race, no idea why.. | |

| How do you feel about interacial dating? Posted: 9/16/2008 6:54:00 PM | Yes, I love mixed couples, whatever they might be. I love contrast. Seeing a light skinned girl with a pixie hair cut and a brown boy with long dreads epitomizes my point. David Bowie and Iman (is there a more beautiful couple?). And any other possible mix out there, Native and Blond, Chinese and European, etc etc.
It looks exotic and androgynous, a fickle game of God in which, despite readily apparent differences, it is at the end, just a man and a woman. | |

| How do you feel about interacial dating? Posted: 9/20/2008 2:27:09 AM | | I will date whoever strikes my fancy. Race has nothing to do with it. I'm of mixed race myself, but you can't tell. My only fear is how my extended family would treat this guy. I recently moved closer to family and have met some people that I'm ashamed to be related to when it comes to the race issue. I'm not saying I would need their approval, I'd be worried about how they would treat this guy. But if we could work through it and he could see that I am not these people and I was able to keep them in check, why the hell not. | |

There is never a reason to date outside your race. Ever. ^^^ Said by a true closed-minded bigot...but, you have a right to your opinion, just as I do for mine. However, you could have left the fiery emoticon off your post because it just made you even less attractive. It's discouraging to know that, in 2008, there are still people who feel this way. A person's heart and soul are colorblind...it's the mind and eyes for people with this thought process that are not. I'm sure I'll get flack for my post too, but I am OK with that. I just think it's sad that so many still feel this way. This is why I am SO thankful my parents raised me in a non-prejudice way  | |

| How do you feel about interacial dating? Posted: 9/20/2008 12:35:00 PM | Lori, some people have no reason to smile. Or, make other people's reasons less and less...for the sake of being prejudicial and unhappy.
Opinions, like advice, are for free. I'd let him have his opinion. All it does is show people who are looking carefully enough, that he may be not be the right person for them.
Being close-minded without true knowledge, is the means to losing your way home. | |

Being close-minded without true knowledge, is the means to losing your way home[/quote} Very eloquently said and how right you are!! I am so glad I do not share the mind set of the racists! BTW Danz...now under Hockeyman? You threw me off for a second or two! | |

| How do you feel about interacial dating? Posted: 9/20/2008 8:40:04 PM | Yes, my closest friends call me that. So, I thought it would be cool to change it...but, I'm still Danz.
I won't take credit for taking the knowledge God gave me, and returning it to the world. Ignorance is formed through word of mouth. But, so is advertising...see a pattern??
Truth and respect are their own standard. Nothing can change that. We do belong to the human race. So the only differences come from our locations on the map, and the languages we speak.
Nonetheless, I do know that if love comes before me (as a man) in any female form, who am I to say "no"? | |

| How do you feel about interacial dating? Posted: 9/20/2008 9:18:35 PM | | Like I always say, we are all part of one race, the human race. I have dated black men and white men but I find I am mostly attracted to black men and it's not something I can control, I can't help who I am attracted to and I don't think anyone can. Speaking from my own experiences only, the black men have treated me better on an emotional, mental and physical level than the white men I have dated. Frankly black men seem to get a bad rap generally yet I find they treat me with way more respect than white guys. That being said I would still date a white guy if I connected with one or a guy of any race for that matter. | |
|
| How do you feel about interacial dating? Posted: 9/21/2008 7:54:02 AM | | I have never dated anything but black men. Don't ask why, its just a thing I have. I don't see color, and have been asked out by other races, I have been disowned by my father, but the rest of my family excepts it, life has not always been easy, but when you are with someone you love, you really don't think about what color they are. I believe that God put us all on this earth together, and if he didn't want us to mix, we would be all one color, I say as long as that person makes you happy, then go for it. I have not seen my father in a long time because of this, but I want to be happy, and if it is with a black man, white man, or whatever race he may be, as long as I am happy I don't care. I think black men are sexy, this is my opinion, and everyone has that, and to me you should do what you feel. everyone has a heart, reguardless of what color they are. People need to get passed race and look inside, they might find, a caring, loving person there. sorry but this is what I believe. | |

| How do you feel about interacial dating? Posted: 9/21/2008 8:13:35 AM | I've dated outside of my ethnicity and would let my children make their own choices about doing so. As long as the person has similar values than mine, what does colour matter? It's compatibility that counts the most, in the end.
The problem with mixed ethnic couples normally stems from outside the couple itself, family member or friends that are not so open-minded can tear the couple apart with undertones of or blantant racism. Some couples might find the stares and comments they encounter on the streets to be difficult to handle as well.
Personally, I think we should all mix humanity up, so that coulour, race or ethnicity, no longer shows, we'd all be different shades of ... thus no cause for racism to exist anymore. | |

| How do you feel about interracial dating? Posted: 9/21/2008 11:53:57 AM | | I did dated outside my race a few times and honestly if you feel a connection you really dont see no color love has no color so its best to follow your heart not what other people say. They are some people out there that we think are our friends and want the best for us but in reality would want to see you miserable if you happy dating someone you can judge by a race judge on thier character personality wise. | |

| How do you feel about interracial dating? Posted: 10/2/2008 7:49:34 PM | Dating, finding your life and sole mate is deeply personal matter and everybody should have the right to decide what suits them best without stigmatization from those who think differently. As for me I have eaten only white meat...so far.
