| How do you feel about interacial dating?
Posted: 7/25/2005 8:23:50 PM | | Mr. Dj, you obviously do not read my posts or are very uneducated and cannot read simple english. I said I see nothing wrong with interracial dating and have done it myself. My opinions are formed from the people I have worked with. You yourself have to refer to the woman I dated as a piece of black azz" and not a woman. That is the attitude I do not like in black males. All women are ****es and ho's. Skin color is no problem for me. I would let my daughter if I had one, date a black man, just not a black american. | |

Posted: 7/25/2005 9:49:35 PM | Ok, RDtoo this will most likely be my last reply regarding one of your uneducated posts. I'm usually not a negative person nor do i usually reply to ignorance, but I can't seem to help myself. As I said before stereo typing is not fair. Saying all black men are the same would be like saying all white men are rednecks, not a fair statement is it? As for Dj calling it "a piece of azz", I think all men refer to it as that at times. Say you haven't.( Although I think he was being more humerous than anything.)
As for opinions being formed by the people you work with, maybe you need to explore outside your work, or even out of state. We are all individuals with our own personalities and out looks on life. I thank God we are all different, if not it would be a boring world.
Oh, DJ i'm going to have to take up for you here. RDtoo, maybe you need to read his profile; he is far from being uneducated or a man that refers to women as "azz". RDtoo reading your posts makes me wonder what kind of place you work in to be around so many closed minded people. Hmmm, makes you wonder.
Oh, and last but not least what is it that is so wrong with a "black american"? I think you need to really check yourself before you try to express yourself. Why don't you do a little homework and see what great things black american men and women have accomplished. | |

Posted: 7/25/2005 10:09:53 PM | | He did call a woman a piece of "azz" so don't say he wouldn't. As far as stereotyping, I know some wonderful african-american people. One of the smartest guys I ever knew was an african-american. If I heard someone calling an african-american the "N" word, I would be the first one up to defend them. I am sure there are many african-american men who are wonderful fathers and husbands. In fact, I know several. The majority of them are trying to imitate Snoop Dawg though, and that would not be tolerable to date my daughter. | |

Posted: 7/25/2005 10:33:57 PM | | I am just so over why any of these race issues that people have should even matter anymore. I see in the near future that we will all be a lovely mix. I am to the point that I don't answer race questions(though I don't mind sharing ansestory) regarding me or my son. I consider myself american, simple as that. So umm, ya, interracial dating is fine in my book. | |

Posted: 7/25/2005 10:35:10 PM | SCORE!!! Oh Yeah SweetieD Thank you. If he had read my profile and most of my post, he'd see my humor but then again, being uneducated or lack there-of would equal RD! But thanx for the Mr.!
BTW, haven't you read about him??? Isn't he like a washed up 49er trying to make a comback but just can't seem to make it to the playoffs. Hmmm... maybe that's why he's the way he is. NOW FOR YOU OTHER 40+ PEOPLE, I don't mean anything bad. Its all humor here. Gssshh.. read with style! He's trying to live a double standard.
Oh and RD, I'm much more respectful to "ALL WOMEN"... me saying blk azz was humor dude and you obviously don't have any or you'd know me by now. But anyway, like others have said, case closed here. Just be honest with yourself. You stated in the begining that you would likely get blasted by your statement. Okay, you did, so don't take offense to the reply/ies you get. If I made a stereotyped statement about white dudes or any other race, it'll be someone who'd hopefully standup for their culture too. It was what it was. It was bias based on nothing. Get a life!
I look at this way, "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything." You quoted us (black men) as being thumbs down from your own co-worker experience. Don't judge a book by its cover without reading or getting to know it yourself. Otherwise, you're bound to be judgemental about something/someone without knowing the true facts. I told you that I totally respect anyone/s comments but in your other post in another forum, you challenged a woman (threaten a woman!). What is up with you dude?? I'm done replying to you because after that comment on a public forum, you're not worth my time and thats it. I hope some day you wake up from your fantasy of false living. I'm like SweetieD, I don't usually promote negative comments because I'm too joyful for that but arrogance brings out some of the needed to say things; not to be rude or belittling but to do like you - voice my opinion like others seems unrewarding with you.
In any case to all of you others, I apologize if I have said anything wrong to be bias or misleading to who my profile say I am. However, I don't think I have. I'm as real as they come. What you read is what you get. If you ever read my post, I'm comic and yet serious with most of my points. Please, don't misunderstand what I say as being rude and/or disrespectful. Oh, as I like to close with most post... Oh Yeah!! | |

Posted: 7/25/2005 10:42:26 PM | | And I did NOT threaten a woman. Like you say, I was saying it in jest, and all it was was an offer to tell me off. I would never hurt a woman that is why I began a thread like that it the first place. | |

Posted: 7/26/2005 6:45:09 PM | | Actually RDtoo, the case isn't closed. Yet again you are jumping to conclusions. You act as if i'm trying to marry DJ or something. Get a grip. Some people on here are looking to make new friends, not just a hook up. Point proven, thank you. | |

Posted: 7/26/2005 8:10:35 PM | Sweetied, I don't care if you do marry him. As I said before I am not against interracial dating. Anything that produces Halle Berry can't be all bad. In fact I have several interracial couples as friends, BM/WF.
I probably have been too harsh. If I let my daughter (if I had one) date an African-american male, he would not be calling himself a DJ but a DR...lol. That would be acceptable. | |

Posted: 7/26/2005 9:30:49 PM | This really touches close to home. You see my mom was born and raised in "white" South Africa. I was born in the UK and grew up in Toronto Canada. Now while growing up in TO I made a lot of friends in school that were African Canadian.
I remember playing at their houses and staying for supper, being treated as part of their family. But to my shame, my friends were never allowed to play at my house. In fact I was fearful to even tell my parents I had black friends.
I'm very grateful to have known those wonderful families that taught me one of life's lessons on love and acceptance at a very impressionable age.
Mixed marriages? You gotta be with the one you love, regardless of what the general population thinks. | |

Posted: 7/26/2005 9:42:17 PM | | Justa, you reminded me of a story I heard once. There was a class at Eastern Michigan University where they were discussing ethnic backgrounds. One white guy piped up that he was an African-american. The class laughed, the African-american Professor did not. The Professor said "you are not an African-american". The guy said "I am too. I was born in South Africa and we migrated to the United States". The Professor would not accept this answer. Who was in the right? | |

Posted: 7/26/2005 9:58:15 PM | I think, and this is just me off the cuff as I've never thought about it like this before; my opinion is that the prof was right.
I assume (thinking again) that "African American" is not so much a term, but in fact is considered a noun and has been coined to identify an specific group of citizens in North America. I'd say the "white dude" was being immature and inconsiderate.
Now I'd bet there are some language PHd's out there that are much better qualified than I to answer this question as I'm just a dumb S**T. | |

Posted: 7/27/2005 6:58:38 AM | I was really through with you but FYI RD, DJing is a talent. What do you know about spinning on 1's and 2's and being a radio personality or club/venue Jock?? NOTHING obviously. Being a Mix Master DJ tells you what I do but you aparantly don't respect the craft of a musician. Also, IT (Information Technology) --- my field of work is my career. Now you do the math buddy! $$$ Good for your wishes with your daughter. Maybe he'll be a Psycholigist DR. to help you deal with your inner self. Maybe you need to get a life of some sort OLD MAN Do you other guys smell that in the forum?? It kinda smells like a HATER!! Ok, back to work now! | |

Posted: 7/27/2005 8:00:40 AM | | No problem with it at all. My children? They can date whoever they want to as long as he or she is a good person. Just a new extension of the family. I have a problem with a certain class of people which unfortunately also includes a large number of non-whites. Not talking about poor or underprivileged here either. Just those that have no desire to better themselves and are leeches on the social system. Their race is beside the point to me. I'm talking about welfare bums, wannabe gangsters, and white trash here. If you were born into that (as I was) it isn't your fault. Doing nothing to make something of yourself IS though. As I said, it's unfortunate that races other than my own are over-represented in this group but , again, their skin colour is not the problem. | |

Posted: 7/27/2005 11:01:44 AM | | Personally, I wouldn't date within my race. Don't ask why, it's too complicated to explain. I used to get a lot of sh*t from my race about acting "white" but that's how I was raised. My mother frowned on embracing stereotypes, so she tried to have us act "educated". I've been on both sides of the field. My father was black, my step-father is white. My preferences are "whites" (caucasian, italians, europeans, whatever you want to call yourself) and hispanics. No clue why, it's more of what appeals to me sexually. As for my children, I can't say that I would be "ecstatic" that they are dating someone of color, but I wouldn't frown on it. If it makes them happy, they should go for it. | |

Posted: 7/27/2005 7:53:06 PM | | DJ, I really do not understand your venom towards me. I have some strong opinions but I gave reasons for them. I said some good things as well about interracial dating. On other threads I have seen you speak of God and unconditional love but you call me names. Hypocritical? | |

Posted: 7/27/2005 8:28:31 PM | People say race doesnt matter - but it does. No I dont mean in the negative way you may think. I just mean you should pay attention to the culture and history and background that goes into the making of a race. Im not talking about the colour of their skin or their appearance. I am talking about their history, beliefs, culture, religion all those things make up a race. You should learn about these things when dating someone I feel. If you were native american and your partner didnt want to know about your culture or background, Could that be viewed as being racially ignorant or disrespectful?? Im not saying it is, Im just asking what others may think
Just a thought to throw into the melting pot ...lol...or do people view that as being a normal part of the package and " goes without saying" ??
Education is what I really believe is the key to a greater world tolerance. Its the first step to acceptance and interracial dating is a great way for people to learn about other cultures. Once one person starts, everyone does you will find
In Australia, everyone goes with out everyone it seems and I like to see that. You see Greeks dating Macedonians, Chinese dating Japanese, caucasian dating everything under the sun. Its just not a huge thing here [ on a grand national scale - there are still older generatiosn with their prejudices but they are slowly fading voice]. But learning about different cultures is and personally if I were to date anyone [ I dated Greek guy so I tried to learn the language] I would want to learn a little about his race/culture and everything
