Interracial Relationships: How do you feel?

Question

I am pretty sure this question has been posted before but I am posting this again.

How do you feel about interracial relationships?

I ask this because some decades ago I remember people were against it, and all who were dating outside their race were hiding their love from society because it wasn't the "thing" to do.

But as years have gone by and changed there are more and more relationships of different races.

I personally am for it. People are people and it shouldn't matter about about color, race, or creed!

How do you feel about it?

I am not making this into a racial hate thing and I hope you don't either.

Respect everyones opinions for we don't agree on everything, but also respect each other!

Peace and blessings

Answer 1

Respecting everyones opinions carry the same implications as accepting others. I dont see how you can have the mentality to do one and not the other. Your either for or against. Me personally I think its an amazing thing, we're all the same aren't we...?...

Answer 2

It is a thing that used to bother me more not so much the relationship but that they were bringing mixed race children into a world that they knew would not readily accept them.



  And now it bothers me that always see the mothers with their children to often the father has long gone, so again not fair to the children , that is a big issue for me.  BTW that does seem to be predominantly black fathers that are not supporting or acknowledging their children .  

Answer 3

I agree with you. I think race shouldn't matter in a relationship, if two people love each other why should that matter? People are becoming more acceptable of interracial relationships now because before they were disapproved of. I think if someone loves someone they wouldn't care about the persons race, i know i wouldn't. There will be problems of course because some people are close-minded and still don't agree with them and will disapprove of them, but the two people have to stick together and fight for their love because it's worth it and should just ignore what people say.

Answer 4

love had no color.

Answer 5

People should feel free to do as they wish in this area.

I usually do not recommend it. Not that it is wrong- but that its always hard to make it work. Its hard enough just to keep a marriage together, now factor in her family and his. Thats a lot of feelings that have to be pampered.

Most end tragically. When there are children involved then its really tragic.  They usually wind up dis-associated from one half of their family.

Its not wrong- but it is a tightrope. I believe it is just better to not look in that direction.  

Answer 6

i really really agree with you.thank you

Answer 7

i support interracial relationships. i mean we're all people. i dont even know why its an issue. some ppl act like different races are different species but we're not otherwise we woudln't even be able to make babies together [[haha gettin all technical]] anyways who F****n cares who someone else is datin?? if u dnt wanna date outside ur race then dont and mind your own d**n business. why the fukkk would u give a d**n about what two ppl u dnt even know are doing??? or even if u do know them... its not your life so why do u care?? its not like they're hurting anyone. love has no color and this world needs more love.

Answer 8

I think that everyone that has posted before me has written that love shouldn't be tied down and limited by the race of the two people in that relationship. I don't have to reiterate that. I do think that times have changed and that those that oppose interracial relationships are coming to the conclusion that they're fighting a losing battle. These latter generations--which are over 40 years removed from the Civil Rights Movement--enjoy living life WITHOUT limitations. And for some of us, that means dating someone of another race.  One of the earlier posts stated that Black men aren't around in the lives of their bi-racial children. I think that he needs to look @ the bigger picture and examine why this is. Also, I've seen many black mothers with their bi-racial children with no father around. Furthermore, White men traditionally did not acknowledge their bi-racial children. Just examine the Strom Thurmond story for an example.
