Posted: 8/23/2005 7:43:04 PM | It's all about ignorance my friend. Somewhere out there is "the love of my life"...and I for one would never let "race" keep me from finding that "once in a lifetime!" | |

Posted: 8/23/2005 7:45:03 PM | To be completely honest, I would think race isn't an issue. I have experienced some what of a culture clash when I dated years ago. Sometimes the two people involved can see past all the cultural and racial differences but their friends and family can't.
Things have changed considerably since then and I love the way people are being accepted any way they want to marry or date.
For myself, race isn't an issue. I don't think of people as having color.. they're just people inside some skin. Some have black skin, some brown, some have blonde hair, some have black. SKin color is just a feature. | |

But dating out of MY race yesa I would date out of my race. Like a few others have said on here if I like the guy than I like him. BUT also there is a difference between dating & having a serious reltionnship. | |

Posted: 8/24/2005 5:17:10 PM | ...here's an eye opener...Dr.Spencer Wells has a book called The Journey of Man...
...he has geneticaly traced the path of man throught the new world...since the continental drift...and the origin of all man started in Africa...then they migrated to what is now Australia , then to Central Asia , some stayed others moved on to the tip of Russia...from there he figures no more than fifteen made it to the North American Continant , them migrated south from there...he estimated forty thousand years for the journey and two thousand generations is what makes us different from one another...
...the show was on last night...might be more info about the book at PBS.org...but I have not looked yet...
...so again I stand beside the human race theory...but that said , if you do date outside of your culture {race} , be ready for those people that just can't accept the fact that you can be happy with someone not the same as you... | |

Posted: 8/26/2005 2:01:09 AM | I do not care about race either, its just skin deep. What really bothered me was dating a Chinese man and having others who were Chinese give me these looks as though I was stealing one of their boys. I detest racism. The more blended we are racially the better.

Posted: 8/26/2005 6:32:20 AM | There is nothing wrong with dating outside of your race. In fact. There is only one race.
The human race. There is nothing wrong with the color of a persons skin ;)
A peins is a peins, and a vagina is a vagina, It dosn't mater if it's black, white, yellow, brown, or purple with pink pokadots. | |

..people in this world can be so closed minded , when it comes to others from differnt regions of the world...
..nothing against the Americans , but there are some pretty f....ed up people down there...Canada has there share of them too , but we tend to be a little more open to cultural diversity , same sex marriage , or the legalization of marry jane...I don't know what it is about the states...maybe too many take thier religion or race to serious , believing they have the right to ridicule , or prosecute , those with different values... | |

I do believe it is all a matter of personal beliefs. Our country is pretty big on that. Like everyone else, our country is still evolving, and not everyone is going to like the evolution.
For me, no , I do not care to date outside of my race. I have nothing against others that do, but it is not for me. Each to their own. Does that make me prejudiced, because I will not date a black women just to prove I'm tolerant? Does it make me intolerant because I believe marriage is between a man and a woman? Does it make me intolerant because I believe an illegal substance would serve no useful purpose if it were made legal? Hardly. I do NOT care what others do with their lives. That is THEIR business, unless it infringes upon MY right to follow my own convictions and exercise my own personal rights. However, do not attempt to shove YOUR values down my throat, as it is not appreciated, nor desired.
You despise our 'fuxxed up' people, and are exhibiting the same prejudice you state you abhorre. You cannot stand those that are intolerant of 'your' way of thinking, and as a result state they are guilty of being "intolerant, ridicule and prosecute those with different values." Of course, you preface your comments with "Nothing against Americans". Oh really? Me thinks thou doth protest too much.
Your own prejudices and intolerance shine through your comments. | |

...you are right...to each there own...and I do not think because you want stay within your own culture that it makes you prejudice or intolerant of others...but the ones who hide there faces and burn the cross...and believe those that are not light of skin are inferior to them , do have some issues...If you are to hate or dislike someone , it should be based on how that person has treated you , not the colour of thier shell...
...and I do not mean to point fingures...we have some pretty screwed up people up here also
, but I still don't think you should beat someone over the head with a hickory axe handle , because they are different... | |

Posted: 8/27/2005 2:33:56 AM | | I myself have always supported the idea that we should all fvck eachother till we are all one color anyway. (The sad truth of this, is that we would still find something to hate eachother over.) | |

Posted: 8/27/2005 8:42:04 AM | I have dated Asian (China, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia), Black (Africa, Barbados, Jamaica), Native Indian, East Indian and White women and I can honestly say that all of them were beautiful and wonderful in their own way.
Variety is the spice of life...
We are all looking for love...no matter the colour of your skin or place of birth. | |

Posted: 8/27/2005 9:35:21 AM | Sundown- that is a funny (yet strangely eloquent, appropriate, and utterly supportable) statement! Let's get it over with for pete's sake! We'll all just merge into a nice "bronze-ish" caste of well rounded beings- and finally free up enought time to kill each other strictly over land, natural resources, and religion!!
From my experiences- I've learned that the sad truth is; the issue isn't necessarily with our own personal feelings towards dating "outside of our race" - but is infact more closely related to our concerns and apprehensions in regards to the opinions of our peers.
A man can fall in love with a woman, and a woman can fall in love with a man- and they can be of different cultures- and have the most beautiful, loving relationship possible. However- (again, from my experiences) the direct application of pressure upon that relationship from members of their immediate peer group(s) or family(s) - or even the perception of said pressure- can often be enough to cause that relationship to deteriorate.
I also like to refer to this theory as the "Racist redneck father formula" or the "Closet segregationalist grandmother phenomenon." Other forms include the "Black panther parents threatening to dis-own maneuver" and the "Our love is shameful before my God theory".
Pardon my sarcasm. Bottom line- if it feels like love, looks like love, tastes like love, smells like love- it's love. And that's that. Anyone that would sacrifice love because of the colour of someone's skin, or because of "the problems" that being with someone "outside of their race" would create- is missing the big picture. Anyone that has a problem with another person finding happiness- for any reason- isn't worth knowing.
Wow- what a rant huh? I'll just....um....... pack up my soap box now. | |
