| | Race or Means: Which is more of a barrier in dating? Page 2 of 2 (1, 2) | Don't take morons seriously.
I don't know why people spend on inordinate amount of time placating idiots.
If I say "I like xxx" and someone complains. Fine....but it's my life and I make
my own decisions. Their opinion is welcome but in the end moot as the final
decision is always mine.
Hell white guys are hot as lava ..you should like them. That's no skin off my teeth
and it doesn't make you a racist "unless" you said supported your preference with prejudicial commentary about other races.

Posted: 7/31/2008 5:36:20 PM | | well... I responded back , trying to support my thoughts, and in Habit of just saying this word , I said yall , I didnt think nothing of it when I said it , though , I didnt know that was considered rude... I was just explaining something , he was offended and I apologized yet he still acted as if I am what he thinks I am . and Im not . I know this situation will probably never cease, there will always be negative remarks and touchy areas between the races. But am I always going to have to apologize , because I worded something wrong ... I never intentionally ever say anything to berate another human ever. I just dont think people of all races.. slow down long enough to understand , especially in the text world of online, you cant possibly understand someone just by the words they type , and in just a few sentences ! | |

The biggest complainers are the ones that would probably have the hardest time defining terms like:
Racism
Prejudice
Discrimination
It's hard to be taken to task and even harder to be taken to task by an idiot that doesn't even understand what they're
trying to say.

Posted: 8/1/2008 12:49:28 PM | I believe a functional good relationship depends on attraction, trust, respect, communication and shared values.
Although a social construct, (but it appears to always have three defined hierarchies lower, middle and ruling - correct me if wrong please) class is invisible to the eye and value led. US meritocracy is maybe a little more transparent, dependent on collateral success achieved via opportunity and exploitation of situations and workers in the last two centuries only rather than the last ten or so, but at the end, the same thing.
Race is a visual social construct as are most other 'isms' - sex and faith ( and quite often sexuality, looks, mental and physical abilities) that people may be discriminated against or for.
The power of class (generally determined by acknowledged genetic descent) then holds sway as it politically creates all the anti legislations yet never applies them to itself.
An incident concerning a financially successful glamour celebrity, horse rider, children's book writer , business woman ( - no, not Madonna who has married 'in' but appears to be finding it problematic) and the UK establishment is perhaps pertinent.

Posted: 9/1/2008 9:11:36 PM | I would date women from any race regardless of means. I realize everyone is gonna be different and have their own choices but I think race is more of a barrier in dating than means. Obviously, you know someone's race as soon as you see him or a picture of him, but have no immediate idea of his/her economic class. A guy may be well-educated, have a good job, be so well-off and most of the positive things we generally desire in men but if he is not a particular race, it's game-over before the game even starts.
Well, it's not my family or friends that would date, marry and live with my lady, it's me. So, it will be my choice, nothing to worry about! | |

Posted: 1/28/2009 10:17:28 PM | I guess I would have to say I was lucky...I grew up in a large diverse family, so I still don't "get" the race issue. I have an Uncle who is black, my Stepmother is Thai as are 3 of my siblings, there is Portuguese, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh in my family. I say G-D blessed me with enough sense to appreciate the beauty in All.
I would date a man regardless of color or means. To me it is what comes from within...the true and beautiful essence of the person in front of me. I know he is out there somewhere.....I just have to be patient and wait for him, regardless of "station in Life" or race. I happen to think we are all beautiful here at POF, Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, right?
Hugs
