Posted: 3/3/2005 7:48:54 PM | | you know i actaully struggled with this for a long time. I am white, but was adopted and raised by a black family.....growing up of course all my friends and family were black....but i was dating a girl who pretty much cheated on me, saying she did so to experiment....she had heard things we all i'm sure have heard about black men...and wanted to try it......that tore me up inside emotional..........it was hard to take and know how to handle...there was more to the story that i really won't get into....but i had trouble seeing a black man and a white woman together for a long time because of this problem.......this all happened to me as a teenanger...I am now 26 years old and have matured alot since then. While i have had problems with it in the past...i come to realize that no, color does not matter as long as both people are happy.....my brother(by adoption of course) married a white woman, and everyone in the family was worried about how i would react to the whole thing....i thought it was funny because i guess they all thought i was still hung up on it....but i don't think anybody was happier for my brother that day than me. | |

Is this a made up story?(sorry but the doubting Thomas in me rises up on occassion.) Anyway, happiness is within, and it's great to see that you have found that ability to be happy for other people. Have a great weekend ALL~ | |

Posted: 3/6/2005 11:36:52 PM | I'm American Indian and a lesbian so thats two against me. I fortunately look white so I haven't had a problem getting work because of my skin..... just a problem because of my sexual preference. My partner is white but haven't had comments with her yet. The interesting thing is that I get more comments from my own people because my skin is not as dark as theirs (being from two tribes). I guess this sort of takes it off topic....
I have no problem with people who love each other no matter what culture. That is the key. If you don't like something then look elsewhere. As far as kids..... well, not all children are born from the parents. There is something called adoption so there goes all the disease/genetic issues. What will happen will happen. | |

Posted: 3/10/2005 5:00:21 AM | well i started all this so i guess i should say something. i liked the replies and disliked some . and to the people who have had interacial relationships or knows someone who has and have dealt with it good for you, you are truly someof the enlighten ones. to the ones who sees nothing wrong with it, but they are not for you cool.
and two the ones who have grandchildren or children who are bi-racial and they are having a hard time dealing with it or dont know what to tell them, this is what i told my kids " they are the best and worst of both worlds and it is up to them to change things because not to use a phrase when we are all gone and the bitterness of racisism is not around anymore it is their world and they must correct the mistakes of our parents'grandparents and governments made".
and to the people who still use words like mud people mongrals or s spicks crackers or japs. its you oppions and you have the right to feel like that but think about the word your children will grow up in its not going back to the way it was there are to many of us.. bet hey you have that right and its not your fault so yes i have love for and i have pitty for you i am not mad at ya. so says the BLACKPRINCE.  | |

Posted: 3/10/2005 11:20:31 AM | | This is a heated issue for some so I'll keep my answer short and sweet.....I have had two relationships with black men......to me their skin color was never an issue.....in truth I judge the man for his character not the color of his skin. I know sadly it's not that simple for everyone and I know my dating these gentlemen did cause some issues where others were concerned but my way of thinking was it was THEIR issue not mine. The day we stop seeing people by the color of their skin.....the better off we will all be as a whole, in my opinion. | |

Having been involved with someone who was considered biracial I learned the painful lesson of expectations involving cultural differences. My partner was Hispanic and Native American raised in the Catholic faith with a Baptist Grandmother. I was naive enough to believe the differences would not be difficult.
His Hispanic background was so different than my "American". I was often asked why I didn't go out with someone who was "White". I loved my sweet warrior but could not seem to overcome the cultural expectations and differences. I would love a man no matter the color of his skin but am wise enough to look at the bigger picture now. My children suffered and were constantly asked questions that were racist and plain stupid. For that reason I am cautious in my choices. Have chosen not to date because of the "Redneck" attitudes of the area I live in. Oh for the days when color won't matter!!!!!! But that is a pipe dream that may never happen in my lifetime.
Was told by a very wise Cherokee woman that humanity was the biggest box of Crayons ever opened. So many choices but so few chances. Keep the faith my friend  | |

the wonderful,the good, the bad, the ugly...........and the indifferent.
I respect, and show manners to everyone I meet.......when they mistreat me, I become indifferent to them....when they continue to mistreat me.....I'm done. I don't like anyone bestowing their hatefulness upon me. I can be grouchy enough all by myself!
I do however, when meeting open minded people....kind, and considerate people...."the way people should be"....I am very thankful to meet them. And I have a lot of love for them.
Peace~ to everyone.....especially my friends with positive sensitivity, you all make this world a nicer spot to visit~ (that's a heck of a way to think about it, huh?) | |

I am dating a black girl
and it is awesome
that is what I told my parents
they have not met her so there you go
anyone who has problems with there families or themselves on this issue
needs to give there head a shake
it is 2005.....................being a racist will not be coming back into style
so holding on to it like a old leisure suit is not nessasary and rather
counter productive

Posted: 3/17/2005 1:23:23 PM | This is a really nice thing to come home to---I am proud to be part of this site. I know different strokes for different folks....but to me the point is "all" of us -treating "all" of us with respect, and not living in fear of hatefulness. A world of peace- a work in progress.    
guitarman-I love you...thanks for that post | |

Posted: 3/17/2005 6:32:12 PM | | Reading some of the posts on here is very interesting...It is sad to see though that some people in this world still feel racist...I believe that every person is equal nothing should depend on the color of skin, culture, beliefs or anything...It is just to bad to see it all still happening out there. I do not see anything wrong with interacial relationships, if you look at it we are all the same on the inside and that is what should matter... | |

Posted: 3/21/2005 6:12:31 AM | | I so agree...it is really a manners and respect issue in the deepest sense. If you can't bestow respect and manners to people (without feeling like people had to work magic to "earn" it-or that it's "beyond" you to give it to "certain" people)....well, I'd be willing to bet that this is a type of person that is disrespectful to many people. For some reason, they feel "above" others, or if you really get to the nitty gritty- maybe harbor some other inner unhappiness, and manifest it in types of hatreds. There's a silly saying that I've heard from racially affected people..."I don't discriminate, I hate everyone equally"...kind of puts a little humor and strange honesty in a sensitive subject. One day-we'll all be dead, and a new generation will have a chance to act right to each other- or share the hate. Looking down from another dimension, I wonder what we will all think of our gift of life, and what we did with it, and what we will regret...or be proud of? | |

Posted: 3/26/2005 2:02:18 AM | someone please read tribal supermans response. i had to laugh at (lmao) that was probaly the most ****ed up way i have ever heard on the subject (of interacila dating). he tried hes hardest to sound scientific. ( god bless his soul). but what he left out is the fact that we come from about 3 males and 11 females (yes every last one of us) and the genes that he is trying to explain is dormant inside us all. chances are when you jhve a child it will look like the mom and dad. but there is the 0000000000000000000000000000000.00000000000000000000000000000000000000.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 percent chance that hey you may end up with a darker or lighter child depending on how nature feels. but hey he would be the one who would probaly beat his wife or girlfriend if she had a child that is lighter or darker than what he expects.
but hey gotta love him for trying. and to you tribal superman i only hope that nature does not decide to **** you. lol | |

Posted: 3/29/2005 12:14:13 PM | Hey man, interracial relationship have my vote. There are a hell of a lot more important reasons to hate or be dusgusted by people. Like character, careers, and flabby bodies.
Once, I tried hating women of a different race with my mind, but then my genitals always over-road whatever my mind said. | |

Posted: 3/30/2005 12:30:22 AM | i am of mutliple decents
as are all of you,
i went to a all white school lived in a all black neighborhood
spent most of my youngest years in my grandmothers beautyshop
listening to who knows what kinda stories
all of this
all of my lifes events make me me
not my skin color
or some bullshiot scientific mallarky
about losing some predetermined advantage to being racially "pure"
noone....and i mean noone....is of a pure race
its an oxymoron
its obviously not the only moron around
persons, people, human beings are not seperated my race, or species, go to college
we are seperated by percieved undersatandings an missunderstandings of our multitude of religions, cultures and sub-cultures
we are seperate in mind only
when we are not here
in this place of space and time
we are all one....that is why we feel so seperated and devided
it is becuase of our unknown, unfathomable, conectedness, that we feel so alone here.
we spend very little "time" here....we are asleep in lifes waiting room...waiting for undersatanding so we can be truelly born, awakened.
so wake up to the white light which is the precense of all colors at once. i am colorblind.
