Posted: 3/24/2006 11:12:51 AM | Yeah yeah... I feel you dude. Nonetheless, let me ask you this; so, do you find the black guys that date only white/hispanic women, change their personality as well? Not saying I'm watching dudes or nothing like that... I'm straight as it comes, but I've noticed dudes personalities change as well and then I hear the same thing with black women saying, "girl, he aint even right no more... SELL OUT!" So, what do you call those women who allow there personality to be affected?

Posted: 3/24/2006 6:52:12 PM | | ^^^^Are you implying we are sinners for dating outside of our race and accepting all men as equal - if you are then I am a sinner in your eyes because I do accept all human kind as equal! God will forgive me because I love and care for human kind. | |

Posted: 3/25/2006 1:52:45 AM | | I have been in relationships with Asian, African American, Hispanics; to me, it was the person to whom I was attracted to, not their skin color; it was their character and not their hertiage; and besides that , are hearts are all the same color. | |

Posted: 3/25/2006 2:07:07 AM | I don't really see anything wrong with what hes saying.. I mean everything he said is right. When you hang out with black people you tend to pick up characteristics of how their majority acts and vice versa. When a white girl tends to start getting gangsta I tend to avoid them because I personally hate when white people try to act ghetto it doesnt work in 80% of the cases.
Which is weird for me to say because I only date black girls but I have a line where I take my personality and how I let someone affect me. | |

Posted: 3/25/2006 3:35:56 PM | My last post was in response to a deleted posting!!!! Just to clarify because it is now out of context and I seem insane.
@ airtight31 - It was a preacher - who posted a sermon - not the place for it.
@rocky541 - don't generalize it just makes for more ignorant remarks from rasist people. | |

Subject: How do you feel about interacial dating?
Message: What if your race was nearly gone. Like native americans. Would it still be cool to mix race? Or would it be better to find someone of your own race and culture?
ANSWER:
Funny, "thebestguy", but last time I looked around it looked like my race... the Human race... was doing quite well (at least numbers-wise) on planet Earth -- the only race and planet I'm concerned with right now!!!
Then again, the way things are going right now, the Human race might end up gone pretty soon (*BOOM*!!!) if we don't stop worrying about the differences among us and start looking more at that which we all have in common. | |

Posted: 3/25/2006 6:06:50 PM | Wow...this issue is so foreign to me...it's not an issue at all in Canada
I 100% agree with that ... I live in the most multicultural city in Canada (Toronto), and it's the norm to see interracial couples up here. I think it's fantastic! I myself have never had the pleasure of dating a man outside of my "race" (whatever that may be ... what person can truly trace their roots back to only one "race" these days??) ... but it certainly isn't out of the question. While looks may be the first thing that grabs your attention, skin colour should not be included in that. All "races" have gorgeous people ... take a look at the Ms. Universe pageant as a prime example of that.
As for the gentleman who suggested that black men see white women as a "trophy" ... and that "they" all leave their wives to raise the kids on their own ... one of my dearest friends is a black man, happily married, with 2 of the most adorable kids you could ever meet. Not all of "them" are like that. Damn shame this guy is married, one of the sweetest & most generous people I have ever met.
It's a damn shame there are still people in today's society who are so incredibly closed-minded. | |

Posted: 3/25/2006 9:48:56 PM | I think it looks odd when people immerse themselves in a culture they weren't brought up in. Like whites acting 'ghetto' or braiding their hair and lving on a reserve. At times I think its nice that they care to try to understand the other culture but usually I think that they look silly 'playing tourist' and can never understand being born with it. The guy that wrote "Black Like Me' did it well.
That said, it isn't the colour but the culture that seems to be the issue for most. In Canada, there aren't really strong, exclusive enclaves, IMHO. White, Asian, East Indian, black are all pretty much neighbours and just people. I wouldn't give it a thought except I don't really like Chinese food. | |

Dear Kiddingme,
I wish you were here only so I could prove you wrong  , knowing from personal experience that I would respect again in genuine love a woman of different race just as I respected such a woman before... our parting more her idea than mine (not race, but lack of common interests that lead to us not seeing each other again).
Then again, as someone else said here, here in Canada that's a total non-issue (Hamilton, 0ntario where I live likewise a multi-cultural city).

Posted: 3/27/2006 6:41:37 AM | Hey everyone! I was just catching back up to the postings and I see I missed the preacher post. Good looking out on the forum, for whomever reported him. I think I've ran across him before.
Nonetheless, Kiddingme, I don't think just because a guy is white that he couldn't/wouldn't respect a black woman. Why do you assume that?

Posted: 3/28/2006 12:01:29 AM | I date outside my "race" but refuse to change who I am. I've never changed the way I talk, dress, act, my hair or anything else. I'm just me and who i'm dating isn't going to change that.
Although I do know several people that have changed their ways, it's not cute or sexy!!!! | |

What a perceptive observation, Limbo. i've often wondered why race is such a huge issue in the US, when it is such a non-issue in Canada. I think you've nailed it. It's more about culture that genetics. And, for good or ill, Canadians don't really have a strong cultural identity.
It's interesting that Canadians embrace a "cultural mosaic" ideal, while Americans advocate the "melting pot", but there is more racial tension in a country where everyone is supposedly the same.
But I guess this is off-topic... | |

I don't know what Canada you live in, but the one I know is no idyllic racial harmonious place everyone thinks it is. Canada is as racist or moreso than the US, with the exception that racism here is much more systemic than overt. No burning crosses or racist graffiti, just exclusion by the system. Whether financial, educational, or employment, racism is still alive in well in the great white north. | |

Posted: 4/7/2006 11:57:47 AM | Brotha, I didn't mean to imply that there is no racism in Canada. I live in Nova Scotia, where a well known black athlete was a victim of overt racial profiling by the police not very long ago. I'm not naive about the existence of racism. But I stand by my assertion that it's not nearly as virulent as it is in the US. The fact that many Americans even ask the question "is interracial dating OK?" is indicative of a cultural acceptance of racism. I don't think racism is socially acceptable at all in Canada, with the exception of a few redneck enclaves. Sysemic, yes. I totally agree with that. But I am wondering now if that systemic racism also has more to do with culture than skin colour. Nova Scotian Blacks have a very rich cultural heritage, but it's a culture that is pretty foreign to people of european descent. Maybe the "system" is geared to my culture to the exclusion of yours, and that's why it's oppressive. Not because the people in power consciously want to oppress a particular group.
Or maybe I'm just idealistic... | |

Posted: 4/7/2006 1:22:03 PM | (being a black woman) I think that the typical black woman and the typical white male are brought up so differently that it doesn't allow for either to be truly comfortable. Love, for the most part, blossoms from a certain level of comfort. Communicating smoothly makes me comfortable.
For instance, in a club once, I told a guy (white) that he was "clownin". That's basic hood slang, cuz it can get much more complicated than that! Anyway, he said, "Huh?", about 5 more times before I gave up and said, "You dance really well."
I couldn't imagine speaking proper English 24/7. Work is enough. I understand them, but they don't understand me. When I get to my personal life, I want me to shine thru........Some white people deem a lot of African American mannerisms and such ignorant, but hell, we understand each other.
I appreciate communication.....as you can see. And if I can't communicate my feelings or even a regular thought in a way that I see fit, a relationship is a no go. No fair to either of us.
I am 100% sure that I will not lose my roots, so I would have to say that I could not date outside my race unless the individual had some "hood" in 'em. Not just able to live with the "hood" in me.
Now, I understand that some guys out there loath that element, I don't disagree. We all deserve what we settle for. To each his own. Smooches. | |

It's not just Canada. I'm not sure where the people are that have problems with interracial dating are from. I'm from Idaho, which for some reason has gotten a reputation for being a racist state (it's not...there were like 5 neo-nazis in northern Idaho once...and we pretty much ran them out of the state.)
There are plenty of interracial couples around here, and I don't know anyone that cares. Granted, there isn't a ton of diversity here, most people are either white or hispanic, so that is the majority of interracial couples (two of my closest friends are hispanic and married to caucasian women.) But I've seen couples from just about every type of ethnic background and at least once around here.
I think it's great, myself. I want to marry one woman from every race! Polygamy OK with you?  | |

It may not be virulent because I don't think people in Canada are honest about it. In the US you at least know where you stand. Here in Canada, people are nice to your face, but in secret are out to do you in.
Just this week someone burned down the Black Loyalist center, that doesn't speak of a culture that has done a good job in combating racism.
The only culture I see promoted in NS is the British/Scottish culture. With the exception of the multicultural festival, Greek festival, and African Heritage month when they invite a few people to entertain the masses. | |
