blacksally Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 I am a black girl and met a white guy on Mixedmingle dot com recently. But I am not sure if interracial marriage can be accepted by my friends and family. What do you think about interracial dating and marriage? Please go to the site to post your comments.
aerogurl87 Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 I love interracial dating, then again most of the guys I date are of another race so maybe I'm biased.
miss_sapphire Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 I see a lot of interracial couples walking around every day. I don't see a problem and neither do most of my friends.
Johnny M Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 Personally, I strongly disapprove of it. For one thing, I want my children to look like me, my parents, my grandparents, etc. I don't want them to be mixed. Also, if everybody intermixed, the entire world would be just one shade of brown....yikes. I think we are much better off having many different cultures and ethniciteis that get along with each other while keeping their separate identities.
runner Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 if everybody intermixed, the entire world would be just one shade of brown this is excessively incorrect and people need to quit repeating this false idea.
Javelin Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 I am not sure if interracial marriage can be accepted by my friends and family. First of all, it's not their life to live. That said, who you choose to befriend, date, and/or marry is your own business and they should respect and honor your final decision. Unless the guy is a jerk or something, but that goes beyond race & religion. Personally, I strongly disapprove of it. For one thing, I want my children to look like me, my parents, my grandparents, etc. I don't want them to be mixed.

I'm all for someone having a different view, but that's just ridiculous.
Barby Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 I'm personally all for it...I'm not partial to dating white guys (within my race) I tend to lean towards the Mexican/Latin men...however I think one shouldn't judge or be judged upon race. Love knows no color. Just my opinion of course!
Johnny M Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 this is excessively incorrect and people need to quit repeating this false idea. How is it incorrect? Please humor me with specifics. I'm all for someone having a different view, but that's just ridiculous. How so?
Chicago_Guy Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 this is excessively incorrect and people need to quit repeating this false idea. If you don't want people to respond honestly, then don't even read the message threads like this.
BWLoca Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 Just chiming in to say that we wouldn't all be one shade of brown. No race is one shade...
BCCA Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 I dont see anything wrong with interacial couples, and neither should anyone that cares about you. Its your life to live, and there are plenty of mixed couples everywhere, so you wouldnt stick out that much lol Its perfectly fine, and you should follow your heart. Personally, I strongly disapprove of it. For one thing, I want my children to look like me, my parents, my grandparents, etc. I don't want them to be mixed I've got unfortunate news for you, the world doesnt revolve around you. If YOU want your kids to be the same race as you, find a girl who is the same race. There is nothing forcing mixed couples, but leave them alone if they love each other. They arent coming to your doorstep to make out, and there is nothing saying you have to date someone of another race, but I dont understand why you feel the need to disaprove of other people's relationships. Its really none of your business.
Stung Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 I'm for it...but then if my grandparents hadn't been hip to it, I wouldn't be alive today. Love is love, IMO, and you're lucky to find it wherever you can get it. Who really cares what color/shape it comes in (as long as it's between consenting adults)? There have been studies btw suggesting that interracial children often seem to enjoy more vigorous immune systems. Just FYI. No, I don't remember where I read them, but I'm sure it's Google-able. As for the specious 'single shade of brown' debate, that poster might want to consider enrolling in a few Genetics courses. Recessives abound, for one thing. And hey, I'm only half Caucasian myself but I'm blue-eyed and probably the palest person on this thread. You never really know how the genetic dice will roll.

Recessives abound, for one thing. And hey, I'm only half Caucasian myself but I'm blue-eyed and probably the palest person on this thread. You never really know how the genetic dice will roll. I think you should take your own advice and study some genetics. Maybe then you wouldn't have to cite non-existing (though no doubt google-able ) 'studies' and specious anecdotal evidence (i.e. you being 'the palest person in this thread'). The fact of the matter is that recessives do NOT abound. If that was the case, there would be no shortage of ivory skinned, blued-eyed, blond haired African Americans (as most African Americans are ethnically mixed and have up to 40% Caucasian admixture). Yet, the only white African American I'm aware of is Michael Jackson. So please cut the BS.
BCCA Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 I also have unfortunate news. You fail at basic reading and comprehension. The OP asked: "What do you think about interracial dating and marriage?" Honest question, do you consider yourself racist?
Johnny M Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 Honest question, do you consider yourself racist? Honest question: do you consider yourself retarded?
BCCA Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 Honest question: do you consider yourself retarded? That pretty much answers my question. You're just a hate-monger, I get it. Enjoy your Klan gathering buddy.
burning 4 revenge Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 More inter-racial dating plus declining caucasion birthrate = death of whitey
Citizen Erased Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 If I bring anyone home that isn't white my grandmother will most likely have a heart attack. I'll make sure to bring him to the funeral. Racist cow.
Johnny M Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 That pretty much answers my question. You're just a hate-monger, I get it. Enjoy your Klan gathering buddy. LOL. I asked you about mental retardation because playing the race card is a strategy that's usually employed by the intellectually weak. You gave me a sanctinomous lecture on how my opinion on interracial dating is irrelevant without realizing that the very purpose of this thread is to solicit people's personal opinions on this subject. You clearly lost an argument, so your only retort is to accuse me of racism. Enjoy your special ed classes, buddy.

You clearly lost an argument, so your only retort is to accuse me of racism. Enjoy your special ed classes, buddy. Listen, your reasons againt inter racial dating were entirely about your wants, while you completely ignored the obvious fact that the world isnt going to run how you want it all the time. People ARE going to date inter racially, get over it. You can say you dont partake, but to say youre trying to perserve skin color and want people to stay to their own kind is ignorant as can be. Also, implying some one is retarded is generally a sign of low intellect. Kind of a projection of personalities, if you will.
burning 4 revenge Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 I dont think racism is necessarily ignorant. Maybe a bit cold, but not necessarily stupid As for me Id gladly procreate with any girl I find attractive irrespective of my own concerns about the death of the west. Im much too much of a sensualist to really maintain any ideals, but I know where Johnny M is coming from and as long as he doesnt denigrate other races and go off on conspiracy theories about the Jews or defend Hitler I can respect his POV
boldjack Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 Personally, I have never dated a "race", in my life. I always date women. The color of their skin may vary , but so does the color of their hair, eyes, etc. Why should the color of one part of a person's body (the skin) make any qualitative difference? The term "interracial dating ", is therefore racist.

God, you are dense. She asked for personal opinions. I stated my personal opinion. Get it through your thick skull, it's MY OPINION. If you don't like, you don't have to agree with me. But don't tell that I'm 'ignorant' because my view is different from yours. Funny that you are the one who brought up the Klan. With your tolerance for opposing opinions, you would fit right in. Also, implying some one is retarded is generally a sign of low intellect. Kind of a projection of personalities, if you will. I wasn't implying that you were retarded. There's nothing to imply here; it's pretty damn obvious.
BCCA Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 Look, relax man, we just don't see eye to eye. Nice try on the projection again, though, you really dodged that one... Whatever. You arent worth my time any more.
