I don't think it should matter who you fall in love with. Black, white, purple, whatever as long as you are both happy and respect each other...  |

Personally, color shouldn't matter. Everyone is the same color inside. We all have hearts and minds. That is what love should be based on. -J.D.  |

I think more people need to look past color, religion, etc. and more into the hearts of one another. IMO we are all human regardless of the color of our skin. Our blood is the same color isn't it? I think that racism of any fashion is simply apalling. Love is love period. Great post. :)  |

I don't think there is anything wrong with interracial dating. It really isn't that easy as you said. I have a boyfriend who is another race and I love him the same. I don't care what anyone else says if I end up marrying him. This is what I think. Love In Christ, PRINCESS AMY  |

I agree with all of the above...it should never matter. The color of a person's skin is just a matter of the amount of melanin in the skin....it's just a chemical...so what's the big deal? -Lady Nyx  |

i think it's fine.......it's all a matter of two people that love each other ...race, age, sex, nothing is important as long as the two love each other enough to want to work through life together ( yes, it takes working through sometimes 8-)..~heather  |

Love is blind. That means that love is not restricted by racial barriers. As long as the people have the same beliefs (don't sacrifice morals), and they love each other that is all that matters in a relationship. |

nah....it's not bad to be against it either ..as long as you don't bother other people that choose to date interracially...i think. I wouldn't do it myself..but I do think love is blind...and I believe that age plays a big part...the younger the person the more accepting they are...even from my generation to the one now...BIG difference..~heather |

I am a caucasion female who has a 21 yr old brother. He is dating an African American female and I think they will end up getting married. I have no bad feelings about this but am a little concerned for my brother and his girlfriend because of my brother's temper. There are a lot of ignorant ppl in this world and if someone has the guts to confront my brother on dating a female of a different race I pity that person cause my brother will tear them up, for lack of a better description. I do also have to admit that I am concerned if they ever decide to have children cause of the area of the world we live. We live down south and the south isn't as giving and understanding as say the north or west. But I will do all that is in my power to protect him and her from any racist ppl. God Bless.

I'm with TAC and many of the others above in regards to racism and equality, we're all the same or supposed to be. Nontheless I'm not a big fan of interacial dating, nothing personal more of a cultural thing I guess. Would I discriminate against someone for it-no. Would I jump up and down and applaud it? No also.  |

i agree with everyone. theres nothing wrong with dating ppl of a different skin color or religion, and it shouldnt even matter what sex. if a white male of no religion decided to date a black, muslim male, no1 should get in the way :)  |

absz.......i'm going to play devil's advocate for a moment...I don't think some people (not all) that are against interracial dating are against it because they look down on people of a different race..i think it has many factors involved...one is the stigma that society stills put on it...my sister dated someone of a different race...and was treated very poorly for it...i wouldn't want her dating interracially because i love her..don't want her to be mistreated by society...that's one reason...another is that some people just prefer their own race...like some prefer folks with dark hair over blond...but lots of times it is simply the issue of not wanting someone you love to be mistreated by society..and also not understanding other cultures..and being ignorant..and that bringing fear that the one you love might even be mistreated in the relationship...like i said - it all stems from ignorance...but I don't think it should be automatically assumed that because one might be against interracial dating one is prejudiced..~heather |

I myself have never dated a guy of a differant race.. And no, i'm not racist, i have plenty of friends that are differany races. I have nothing against interracial relationships. I say do whatever makes you happy.  |
| Date: 3/15/2001 12:12:00 PM From Authorid: 28834 I am against it for reasons that are common and just obvious.in my school , your either black or white , and if inbetween , than u dont fit with either group. One of my friends is mixed and he oftin feels like he has no real definate group to turn to. I try to help as much as possible but sometimes its not that easy. He is SO sweet and i just feel really bad and sometimes mad at his parents for making that decision. I know thats being unfair , i mean , love is love. but would u want your child (who u also should love) growing up not knowing where to turn ? |

something relating to that last comment...we had two kids in my high school that were interracial...were' way down south in AR....they were never mistreated...they'd been adopted by white parents...and had everything they wanted....the strange part is (and i noticed it way back then even) that the guy was always VERY sought after by the white girls...dated many of the finest...the girl however never had ANY white guys wanting to date her...and they were both twins and attractive...neither wanted to date blacks (raised by whites iguess..always tried to fit in with the whites)....so the guy had em lined up...the girl never got a date..weird huh..i always thought it was because the white girls wanted to be able to date a 'black' guy and it be acceptable...he wasn't accepted by the parents as well.......but he was 'allowed' so to speak by the community to date whites (respect for the parents) i always thought is sad..and yes, the community does or does not 'allow' such things...they ran off more than 6 people (totally out of town an to another school) because they dated interracially...10 years ago..if an interracial couple showed up at a high school basketball game...he WOULD be getting his a** beat.....quickly...i don't agree with it...but that's how it was..~heather |

I am a product of interracial marriages, and I've been in interracial relationships. From my experience, it is hard. For a black female, your white boyfriend won't understand about why your hair has to be wrapped up every night. It's usually the small things that cause the problems. The issue of the children were never a real concern for me cuz I'm mixed. I say whatever floats your skirt up. True love is true love, when you have it, it's hard to ignore especially over something like skin color.SPEEDRACER  |

Heather you said and I quote "we're way down south in AR...they were never mistreated..." and then I will quote you yet again, "i always thought it was because the white girls wanted to be able to date a 'black' guy and it be acceptable...he wasn't accepted by the parent's as well...but he was 'allowed' so to speak by the community to date whites..." Now, how can you tell me he wasn't mistreated? Today's society is not a forgiving one and if you do something that is out of the Norm than you will be slandered and you will be ridiculed. That's the way it is unfortunately. But don't say that they weren't mistreated cause by the description you gave it sounds like they were. Love, Lollipop |

I dont see anything wrong with interracial dating. I do agree with the fact that it causes problems because of background/culture. My last b/f is jewish and I American all the way. We dated for 2 years and I finaly realized we could never get married because im not jewish. Now Im dating a mexican guy and I love him to death, but there are so many things he does because thats they way he was raised and thats the "mexican way" and it really does cause arguements and fights. True you love who you love, but you have to look at the whole picture. Can you deal with the differences is the true question. Its hard to say. Jamie  |

Oh and another thing about my last comment. I get dirty looks and mexican girls come up to me and say things to me in spanish because they know I dont understand it. I deal with it, but I could understand why people wouldnt want to date out of their race just for stupid reasons like that. People can be so cruel. Jamie |
| Date: 3/16/2001 8:26:00 AM ( From Author ) From Authorid: 29665 Hi Jamie....I know it's hard...that's why I said it's doesn't seem so easy in this day and time. Your situation sounds a little similar to my nieces. She is 19 & her boyfriend is vietnamese. They have a little girl together. All in all, things go well for them. His family treats my niece as if she were their own and vice versa. But her boyfriend's friends make fun of her...they speak in their language so she doesn't understand also. And she bites back because it makes her mad and then it causes problems between her and her boyfriend. You are right...people are cruel. That's why I started this discussion to see how people thought. And just about everyone who has replied has been supportive....and those who don't agree seem to have good reasons....because it is hard. Take care>>>>>Lillieanne72 |

what i meant by not mistreated is that if a pure black had dated a white in my high school hometown he would have been beaten and the white would have been kicked out of school (yes, this actually happened to two girls...both on the cheerleading team...one was going to be homecoming queen...they were literally made to leave the school)....and also, blacks in the town (10 years ago) were NOT treated equally....the two folks in question that were mixed were treated as if they were white...by that i mean they were allowed to date whomever and not given any hard times about it.....it might be that it seems they were mistreated - guess i'm saying they weren't mistreated even 1 25th of a percent as bad as pure blacks in the town were....and it has gotten better since then...but the school is still less than 20% black...and believe it or not...that isn't even one of the more prejudiced towns...~heather |

Lillie, I don't know what brought this up...I am just beginning to learn about your life a little. My 20 y/o daughter (white) is engaged to a black man. He is great and I have never had a pejudice day in my life..all people are equal! Do we not all bleed red and do we not all hurt the same way for the same reasons? The only problem that I have with it is society. Unfortunately, a great deal of society still lives in the past and they are ignorant and still are afraid...living with prejudices of old...which many continue to be fueled. It is truly sad, but nonetheless true. That is the part that scares me..what price will the two of them pay as a result of thier love? Even within the confines of own my family they are suffering due to bigotrey (sp?). My daughter's dad says he never wants to see her again. and My dad says the same thing. So even though she deeply loves this man, she is also suffering greatly and I have to wonder what else she will suffer along the way. Hugs, Pamela Rose  |
