Posted: 7/27/2005 9:26:48 PM | RD I've moved on past that now. Thanks for your input. You did give some strong opinons and I respect that. Sorry, if I came down a bit hard or took your statment wrong. I just have a problem with you labeling "black men" as "they" - speaking as a whole, without saying some respectfully. Nonetheless dude, I'm a bigger man than that. No venom here. I'll be the bigger one to stand up say sorry RD. No hard feelings guy. Sometimes one has to play devils advocate just see how far he/she can take the conversation/debate. Its mere psychology. You're cool with me RD. Again, thanks for your input! | |

Posted: 7/27/2005 10:12:39 PM | | I appreciate that DJ. To be honest I tried to write you and say I was too harsh with what I said. Your mail settings would not accept mail from a male. I don't blame you. I apologise as well. Sometimes I take a grain of truth and get caught up in debate and end up arguing something I don't even believe. I guess all I meant to say was that if my fictional daughter brought home Snoop Dawg, I would have a heart attack. | |

We're a real mix here of races, and I am an "equal opportunity dater".
I agree with the poster saying Canada is quite different from the States. Much more accepting and relaxed about race, etc.
Was at the Caribbean Festival on the weekend, the mixed babies are the cutest!!!!
...and it was boiling hot here today!
Vancouver & Victoria, both in BC, have the mildest climate in Canada. | |

Posted: 7/28/2005 9:10:20 PM | | All of us are prejudiced to one degree or another, maybe just because of the history of American race relations. I personally find it preferable to marry an asian if you are gonna marry outside your race, because they are the beautiful woman in the world, second only to strawberry blonde. I sometimes wonder why I feel so strongly that babies from African/Caucasian marriage are not good looking, but I do. I would marry an asian if she was true and not a gold digger. | |

Posted: 7/29/2005 1:20:30 AM | Hey DJdodat, where's that thread you promised? I can't wait to piss somebody off in it.
lmao!
Seriously though, I'd like to see what you've cooked up there.
Toodles.
And just so I have an excuse for saying that and being here to say it: Interracial relationships are fine. Nobody gets hurt so do what you please. Besides, having looked into the matter as much as I have been able to, anthropologically, we're all mixed already anyway. Sure, most of us don't realize it but we are. There are about 1.1 billion mixed race people in India alone. Caucasian and Dravidian.
The middle East and North Africa are technically Caucasian but there are heavy elements of Negroid and Asiatic. European blood is about %35 percent Asian. Sub-Saharan Africa is Bantu, Pygmy, and Khoisan. Very distinct races if you know what you're looking for but once you read some human migration history you realize that that part of the world is completely mixed as well. Native Americans? Turkic people originally (central Asia). Very likely that there were two waves of immigration in pre-Columbian America the other being Polynesian. Just look at pictures of North American aborigines and South American aborigines to see the difference. Also likely that the first Turkic wave of Native North Americans supplanted a caucasoid race as well. Japanese? Ainu. Definitely mongoloid but there is a clear caucasoid influence in them. First "Japanese" actually. Supplanted themselves by southern peninsular Koreans (the people you think of as Japanese today) That's why the Japanese are hairier than most other far Eastern Asians. If you see an aboriginal American with any hair on his face he's mixed somewhere down the line. Fact is, there are very few pure blood Natives in North America today although it's the dominant trait in contemporary aboriginal heredity obviously.
I could go on but you get the picture. We're all mixed already. Nobody is pure unless you want to pick an arbitrary point in time and call that the original race you want to identify yourself as. A couple thousand years before that your race quite possibly didn't exist. A few thousand years from now we may not have any races save one although that's unlikely. Just be content if people are good to each other. That's all that matters in the long term. You do want civilization to continue right? | |

Posted: 8/6/2005 3:53:53 PM | | I have never dated outside my race..Not for lack of wanting to but simply because of the area I live in...There are not many blacks here in Montana...I have tried meeting them online and I get alot of the same questions from all of them..They always want to know why I want to date a black man...Im more attracted to darker skin...To me it's just very sexy and attractive...I don't think there's anything wrong with it...Neither one of my kids are racist and would date outside of their race if given the chance..In fact my daughter takes after me!! | |

Posted: 8/7/2005 9:40:14 AM | To the Original Post:
Would I 'let' my son/daughter date a person of another race?
Hmmm....I have no choice in that, but I will tell you this. We all know the stupid media sterotype of the gangsta black, totally not indicative of blacks and in my opinion, it is offensive to them. My uncle is black and I love him. My neice is half and while I don't care for her mother, she is my blood and in my family and here for a reason.
I was strictly NOT allowed to date anyone but a white catholic boy growing up. My family has relaxed on the religion thing, but I'd hear it from relatives to this day, just like my brother did.
Back to the 'stereotype'. THIS is where I draw that line. If some young punk came to my door or I overheard a message with some little idiot talking gangsta to my daughter, I'd have a huge problem with that. He wouldn't be dating my kid for long.
In short, it's the attitude. Come to my house and be respectful. If you try to act like a badass and Snoop-Dog your way around my kid, you're going to have problems. My daughter isn't going to be anyone's 'ho' or '****'.
I wish the media would lose that stupid portrayal. All the young kids are trying to act like badasses and it's degrading to themselves and their culture. | |

Posted: 8/8/2005 10:17:26 PM | | I dont see anything wrong with it at all.although at one point and time in highschool I never wanted to date outside of my race at all.I only dated black guys.but thats changed as I got alittle older.I really dont think a person should go into detail about there preference.Ive seen many a times people carry on and say Im not dating this nationality or that nationality and sometimes they do end up dating that nationality.if you have a preference I think its cool to just keep it to yourself and not advertise it.Ive been in one interracial relationship and thats with my son father and he is latino.it didnt work out though because he end up being racist himself.all I have to say is make sure youre going into the relationship for the right reasons and not the wrong.Ive seen and heard a few people say they want to date outside the race to have mixed kids.I think thats not a good reason to date outside the race,and alot of them date the guy or girl for a short period of time and then dump them,or sometimes they have a kid with them and stopped talking to them after they have there child.I didnt plan to have a mixed child it just happened and thats a difference.some people have it all planned out.you shouldnt have to plan on stuff like that.God has who he wants for you.I love my son so much and he is my world and he is a blessing to me. | |
