Posted: 4/6/2005 10:14:49 AM | | I've seen in my past experiences- no one take offense either....ppl with health problems do have an irritation with healthy zestful people. There is a jealousy there whether they realize it or not. As well, ppl that are healthy, may not even realize how many ppl around them even have health problems...and are not sensitive or compassionate to them(even if they do know).... This may or may not coincide with some aspect of racial tensions- but it is a point to realize. For the healthy, as well as the sick. Lets not hate each other, or irritate each other for things we cannot control healthwise. That's just wrong. Keeping this in the back of our minds might help us to become more kind to one another, you never know. | |

Posted: 5/5/2005 12:33:12 PM | ...raceism is taught in subliminal ways. As children we often taught recism by our own parents...I recall my own father... a British upper middle class RAF type (my own childhood was in no way a loving nurturing environment) who used to say to us kids... "go on down to the chinaman and get me a packge of cigarettes...or I'm gonna cash a cheque at the chinamans this afternoon ...of course referring to the Chinese grocery at the end of the street. Yet we could buy " babies" at that very same same grocery... little licorice candies in the form of...yup, you guesssed it! And people from India were often referred to as "navvies" by the so called upper class British aristocracy who went "colonial".
Pure bunk... but as children we learned that kind of racism... and it's that sublimial racism still lurks in the corners of our minds.. | |

Posted: 5/5/2005 12:47:07 PM | | I am puerto rican, and happen to like white guys... i think it all depends on the person. If they are each willing to accept each others culture then it can definately work. It's all personal preference. We don't live in a time where it should matter anymore. People are people, we all bleed the same color, have emotions and a heart. If you find someone who will love you more then life itself who just happens to be of another race/ethnicity, why risk that? It makes no sense. | |

Posted: 6/19/2005 7:03:03 PM | Well I dont know much about nothing but heres my take...If we stop talking about the differences in ppl maybe, and this is just a guess, maybe we can finally end the BS there shouldnt be even a thread about this and that makes me a perpetrator of this crap too...Why are we entertaining a question of interacial relations...? Date who you want to...if they happen to be black or yellow or red or green or brown oh well...tell ppl to **** off...I dated a milado girl and ill tell you what WHOA  lol anyway all **** is pink inside if it isnt come see me ans ill suck it till it is swollen and PINK peace...o and just cuz i got no hair dont make me a skin so relax with the bs... | |

Posted: 6/20/2005 12:20:54 PM | You are right my friend. Latin or Hispanics are not a race. Take for example me a Puerto Rican
i am part European, Part African and part Native. Is that interacial or what? Fact Puerto Rico
has 4 Miss Universes. That's the beauty of been mixed. Ricky Martin, Benicio del Toro and Jennifer Lopez are also Ricans. | |

Posted: 6/25/2005 8:03:55 PM | | I don't see it as races. To me everyone is the same no matter the skin colour, or where they are from. There is nothing wrong with Interracial relationships. Although, just last year I fell in love with an east indian girl who's parents would not accept me because I was white. There normally isn't a problem with the people INVOLVED in the relationships...the problem it seems, are those outside of it. | |

Posted: 6/25/2005 8:31:47 PM | | Well, I would be lying if I said that race isn't important to me. I was brought up in a prejudiced family, and it would cause a lot of trouble if I was to date someone outside my race. It's just not worth the aggrevation I would have to go through both being accepted in the family unit, and turning my own views around. I don't see anything wrong with mixed relationships for other people, but for myself it just doesn't feel right. | |

Posted: 6/25/2005 8:44:52 PM | | Yes you are right...in a lot of cases parents have been brought up with only thier own races around, and so they pass these views onto thier children. | |

Posted: 6/25/2005 9:20:53 PM | I agree with you Angel......It shouldn't matter, but to some it does.
I have come to the conclusion in my life, that I can't worry about what others are thinking when they see me with ....well, whoever. I don't have a preference. If you were pink with purple dots on you, I wouldn't care, as long as I was treated right. Its others that seem to have a problem with it....I have experienced this especially with white men. Occassionally, I will be asked out by a white guy. I have to be really up front with some of the men I have met. Once they have found out that I have dated, or had a relationship with someone that was not white, they wanted nothing more to do with me.....(oh well, didnt need them anyway lol )
No matter how wrong it is......its going to be a long time before everyones attitude changes. As long as close minded mothers and fathers are teaching their children that same close minded attitude....then we will continue to have people on this earth that think that interacial relationships are wrong.
But you know what I find intresting.....is that here in the south its still a HUGE deal in some places....and they are all about going by what the Bible says....but if they would actually read ALL of it, instead of the parts that they agree with they will see a nice little relationship of Moses and his wife who was an Ethiopian. (If you want to look it up its Number 12:1)....Anway, the jist of the story is that Aaron and Miriam were speaking against Moses bc of his new wife and God came and gave Miriam leprocy!......
Now if that doesn't speak volumes! Anyway...my mom pointed that story out to me one day when I was feeling bad bc somone treated me badly because of the color of the skin of the man I was seeing.
Just thought I would share that little story with you. Hope I didn't offend anyone. That was not my intention...just giving my $.02 again!

Posted: 6/26/2005 12:28:07 AM | | I thought it was funny when I dated non-caucasian men that caucasians did not seem to notice or care but that others of their (my date's) own race did and seemed perturbed by it to the point to staring at us. I think we've been so focused on the big bad caucasian racists, we've forgotten that racism is just as prevalent with non caucasians. My former partner was religious, I tried it. The politics of the congregrations left a bad taste in my mouth. I prefer fellow agnostics and athestists, at least they do not try to convert me. | |

Posted: 6/26/2005 6:36:38 AM | | There's nothing wrong with interracial dating. You're dating the person and not the color of their skin. If you peel away the skin we're all the same underneath. This world would be quite boring if we all looked the same. Had the same personalities .... Variety is the spice of life. The reason some of these relationships don't work is due to different cultures and not the color the person's skin. If the couple can work out the differences in their upbringing and backgrounds then more power to them. The relationship will probably work. Don't let other people who are racist in nature get to you. If you're interested in someone of another culture on here on in the real world then go for it. Good luck on your search !!! | |

Posted: 6/27/2005 2:46:58 PM | | Goodness, I've been dating whomever I was attracted to all my life. Don't think of the color, only how good the person is. There are too many other things to work on than to worry about color. My philosophy in life is not to pass up ANYTHING (food, people, music, etc) just because it's "different" from what I've known all along. I've made some great discoveries in all those area because I didn't "stick to my own kind". What a loss when we limit ourselves. If anyone outside the relationship has a problem with it, it's just that: THEIR problem..................... | |

Posted: 8/10/2005 5:17:42 PM | You know, the only thing that should matter when dating is if you and the person you are going out with, or considering going out with, have commonalities. Things that fit. Dating and relationships should never hinge upon color, religion or looks.
Too many times I see, and have experienced, people passing up what could be a good date, or more, because the person wasn't their 'type'. I'd like to know who thought up that type thing in the first place. How can anyone possibly know if they won't like a person unless they actually take the time to get to know that person?
To judge a person solely on their skin color, their outward features or any other number of things is shorting yourself of what could be a wonderful time. It also shows a modicum of vanity in my opinion. | |

Posted: 9/27/2005 11:02:47 PM | my 2 cents.....
if ur white and like only whites, cool.
if ur blakc and like only blacks cool.
if ur asian, idian, etc... if u prefer sumone of ur own race, then fine!! im black and i dont have a preference for a certain race...jus the way i grew up. the only thing tha bugs me is when u wont be FRIENDS with sumone BECAUSE of colour. that to me is racist. if u prefer datin in ur race, then thats ok its only when u disrespect, make fun of, or simply not talk to sumone bc of their race. if ur white and like only whites, buh dont have a problem having an asian friend, then u cant be considered a racist...thats ignorance.
k, i told myself i would never go to one of these forums and now look wat y'all made me do!! LOL | |

Posted: 9/9/2006 5:14:52 PM | | I've personally never been attracted to black women but that's just me I guess I don't see any problems with it though. I was with a korean girl for a couple years when I was younger and the only problem we had was that her parents friggen hated me :) | |

Posted: 10/4/2006 2:24:11 PM | Most people are waking up to the fact that no race is Superior to another. I have 2 children who are mixed as in Mexican/American, they are beautiful ,smart children. I myself am pretty close to 100% German as far back as I can trace my roots. I don't know the German language, have never been to Germany, and don't want to do either, don't care about it period.
There is beauty in ever race as well as ugliness, and I apologize for any individual here who has posted any hate amongst this subject.
Ignorance will appear, but intelligent knowlegeable people will always prevail. | |
