Interracial Relationships

Hey guys. We had a big discussion today in one of my classes about interracial relationships. I couldn't believe how many people still see a problem with this, it's perfectly normal in today's society and I just didn't realize that there are people who don't agree with it. How about everybody posting their opinions on the matter?

I think people have more of a problem with black and white relationships, native americans, chinese, greek, italian, french, whatever else seems to be ok. I think that is wrong. I don't see a problem with it.

The only problem I have with it is a lot of times it's tough on the kids because they're either not black enough for the other black kids or not white enough for the other white kids.

I dont really like to see any races mixed but cannot find it in the Bible that says it is wrong. I always thought that God made the different races for a reason. But God says we are all his children so if you find someone you really love of a different race then go for it.

Bibically, you can go to the only parts that ask not to be with a person, basically of the same beliefs. Also, in the old testament it was against some laws to marry outside a race. It was kind of a symbolic issue.
Glad to see you back Hunter.

Id say in 200 years 80 pecent of everyone is gonna be the same color....at least it will save on tanning expenses!! [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I really don't know where I stand on this...my self I don't think that it is wrong at all...I think if you find someone that loves you unconditionally it shouldn't matter if they are purple...looks are only skin deep anyway, but the kids like you said, it on;y causes problems for the children because we all know that people can be very cruel sometimes.....

I think it is gross. I am not a racist person, I jsut think that that is wrong!

I had a kind of funny experience with that situation once. I had just started college up in Jackson, KY, and there was this black girl who one day asked me to come up to her room, obviously for a little hanky panky. Well, I don't remember what I told her, but I got out of that situation and made a mad dash over to the dorm to call home and tell somebody about it. That was my first mistake. Nothing like that had ever happened to me before, so I had to tell somebody about it. I know I wasn't going to tell my mother, she would have raised immortal holy hell. So, I called up my aunt, who lived just a few apartments up from my mother. I told her all about it and she laughed....didn't think much of it and I went to my room and was watching some tv when about 15 minutes later, my mother calls (my aunt was a notorious gossip). She was fussing and cussing and threatened to take me out of that school.

that is hilarious!! but if you knew she was a gossip then you must have known that she would've told yo momma!!!!

Well, I didn't think about that when I called her....just wanted to talk to a familiar person and knew if I called my mother all hell would break loose, so my aunt came to mind.

well that worx I would've probablyt done the same thing!!! LOL

Well looking back after all these years, I'd have probably done things differently because that girl was damm fine!!!

then why in the world did you run off..i woulda went to the room with her!!!

Never been propositioned by a black chick before....kinda new to me.

For those who are racist or opposing interracial relationships, which scenario would you prefer:

I dont think that black and whites should be together, not because I am racist but because there is too much of a cultural difference.

the way I see it.. you can't help who you love..... so I can see how some people may .... but me.... I'm not really into that... but I'm definately not racist either...

hmmm .. I dont see how people can say they are not racist but dont agree with interracial relationships. to me that is like judging somebod without even knowing them. I dont see anything wrong with it, skin color should not matter at all.

Yeah, but like was mentioned previously....the covenant of the Old Testament was broken when Christ died on the cross. The new covenant is found in the New Testament.

I'm not positive on what the Bible says on this issue, but I do know that i come from a very religious family, and my parents find nothing wrong with interracial relationships. As a matter of fact, my brother's last two g/f's were of a different race...

ah hes jus tryin to find a wife to help out the ol basketball skills. Maybe his uncle can teach him to shot a "nuckle" basketball. If you could throw a baseball like that you'd be in the pros right now lol...


I had a few black chicks try hit on me before, no biggie. I jus turn to them smile and say sorry I like my women like I like my milk. White and 1% fat. http://images.calorieking.com/brandi...ilk_bottle.jpg

unless there name is ciara or bounce in that case i might have to blind fold my self...lol

personally i don't believe in this stuff but how come more people accept gay marriages which is totally against the bible than they do interacial marriages

I really don't see a problem with it. I think that you can't help who you love and that you should be able to be with that person without being critisized for it. Yes, it may be hard on the children but I think that people are becoming more and more accepting about it.

It doesn't bother me to see an interracial couple. It's just not for me though

I like my women the way i like my coffee.

B-L-A-C-K

But seriously I love all the ladies all kinds of colors don't matter to me a bit.

haha no kiddin....i had the best knuckleball around, too bad it was on the basketball court and not the diamond....

i agree with bid money hustle on this one. it is the kids who suffer alot for this. I know somewhere in the bible it says each should stay to there own kind. dont really know if God is referring to black and white or religious beliefs. I myself know of several people that are married being black and white i do know for a fact there kids do suffer for this.

Yeah, I mean I have no problem with interracial relationships but IMO they need to think about what the kids will have to go thru before they decide to have kids.

Depends on where the couple is raising a family. In some areas mixed-race children aren't uncommon, and therefore don't necessarily feel "out of place."

I have seen rejection in rural areas and urbans as well when it comes to mixed-race children.

your totally right unchained. I dont think it really matter where u live. it happens everywhere.

Interracial relationships doesnt really bother me at all. Shoot if I could find me a girl would treat me right, I wouldn't care about her race. I admitt it would be strange having everyone stare at ya all the time. Hell some of you all on here know me petty well. So let me ask you all what you would say if dated a girl from another race?

If you were both happy - then "congratulations" is what I'd say [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

well i would have to say little bro as long as you are happy then go for it.

I disagree with interracial dating.

Haha I hear ya. Shoot thats how I am. I aint going to judge one of my friends for dating out their race. Like you all if they are happy then that is great. Like my mom always said it's not what's on the outside. It's what is on the inside tha matters.

amen to that shoe. Anymore it seems hard to find someone anyway after u get a certain age anyway. so if u can find love it should not matter the color of ones skin.

I still say that the big problems seem to come more with black and white interracial relationships, other mixed relationships seem to be more accepted.

I have to agree with you on that.
