Is it okay for a white girl to go out with a black guy?

Question

I'm going out with this adorable guy i met at a camp and he is black i was just wondering if it would be a problem? like people don't look down on somthing like this do they? i sure hope not i love him and i don't care what colour he is! i don't understand what the problem is with raciest i mean were all made the same we shouldn't be judged by our colour

Answer 1

Oh don't worry! that is completely fine, in fact I think there should be more people like you who don't care about the 'differences' in a person. Sorry to say, but there will always be people who look down on it..but who cares? it's about what makes you happy, not other people! :)

Answer 2

its a free country and we are free to choose what we like and don't like.  Some people will approve, some will criticize you, some will laugh, some will think you guys are a match made in heaven. You can't worry so much about what others think and just think about what makes you happy.

Answer 3

good on you girlfriend go for it,..

Answer 4

Of course it's ok. I love to see it. Go you!

Answer 5

in my opinion, of course not. the color of your skin does not define who u truly are inside. but some ppl truly care about that. racism sucks but if anyone looks down on you, just let them think it. ignore it. its all u can do

Answer 6

If  you  should  get  married  eventually  and  have  children,  they  will  surely  suffer.  They  will  not  feel  comfortable  with  white  relatives  and  prefer  the  black  side  of  the  family.  Plus,  they  will  come  to  feel  as  they  grow  up  into  adulthood,  that  they  really  don't  fit  with  either  side  of  the  family.  You  probably  have  no  idea  what  pain  and  hurt  this  will  bring  on  them.  If  you  want  to  have  children  then  you  need  to  move  on  and  find  someone  else  to  love.

Answer 7

If u have feelings for him then act upon them. race is irrelevant. As long as u dont live in the south u should be safe from violence

Answer 8

of course it's ok, duh! who cares what other people think if u like the guy? that's just stupid!

Answer 9

Sounds to me like you aren't quit sure yourself.  Either you think it's okay or you don't.  If you are questioning your behavior maybe you need to step back and take a second look.  Black or white, short or tall it's your decision, right?

Answer 10

Sure- why not?

The problem is society in general,

and people's parents in particular.

If you're going to date someone

of a different race, be prepared

to grow a very thick skin.

People can be very mean and

they love to talk, and the two of you

are going to have to learn to just

disregard any ignorant comments that

people may make.

Answer 11

Girl, you shouldn't even be asking this question.  It is up to YOU and HIM.  Whether you want to be together or not.  It is no one else's business.  People who are against interracial relationships will try to get you guys down with their racism/prejudices.  Ignore them, as long as you guys feel like you belong together, no one can ever separate you.  :)

Answer 12

Of course it is! unless you are racist! He is a man the same as the rest of us!

Answer 13

Of course it is. By the way, the word "race" is a misnomer. we are all human. there just happen to be different colours and shapes.

Answer 14

Good for you! I think you're just fine. Just like any relationship watch out for cutural differences. Sometimes those are the biggest hurtles.

Answer 15

Unfortunately some people do look down apon dating outside of your race,but these people were probably raised to be so close-minded!It's sad,but their opinions shouldn't matter to you,If you like him that's all that matters.Times are changing!My hubby is half black,& he worried about what my family would think(& so did I),because they are small town southern babtist people(I'm American,he's an Aussie)...but after they met him they really liked him!Good luck!

Answer 16

Well if you like him go for it...but if you want to take it further and have kids do you really want your kids mixed race? It's fine if you do but yeah just think about that...

Answer 17

Yes of course you can and who cares about the racist bums Lol personally i love black guys YUMM ! LOL

Answer 18

no, why would there be anything wrong with that. only stupied racist people say that!! i mean if you are in love with him and if he is a nice, sweet guy then there should be nothing else to worry about it!! God made all humen being, no matter what color, so if anyone says anything, just ignore them,,there is no room in this world for racist ppl!!

i am asian and i am dating a white guy, i dont see anything wrong with it..it is even better cze you guys learn about each others groups of ppl and their cultures!! so go for it gurl!!

i once saw a blond cute gurl with a big muscled black guy at the six flags once, they were holding hands and they looked so adorable!!

wish you luck gurl!!

Answer 19

If you like him, date him. :)

Answer 20

at the end of the day girl it your life and who am i to tell you who you should or should not go out with..................all the best

Answer 21

Forget other ppl do wat u feel is right!!

x*x

Answer 22

no

Answer 23

Who cares what other people think. If you like each other, then forget about those who have something negative to say. You shouldn't value their opinions.

Answer 24

ABSOLUTELY! Congrats, by the way. I know a lot of people that  would never think that way because they think that other races are beneath them. I hope you have a nice relationship :)

Answer 25

It is absolutely OK for you to date a guy that you are in love with.

I just don't get the whole race issue... we are all humans, we all bleed the same, we all mate the same way, we all give birth the same way and most importantly we all LOVE the same way.

People move on from colour, dating a black guy is no different then dating a Greek, Italian or Chinese guy.  

As for kids who are BLESSED to be bi-racial they do not have any hang ups on which side of the family they love more.   My son who is bi-racial (dad is African and I am Yugoslav bred in Australia)  loves his fairer skinned relatives to pieces and only asked once why we were different colours.  

Love has no boundaries..... ignore the ignorant people and live your life the way you want to.

Answer 26

we all bleed red. colour will always be judged as will bi racial relationships by those who are ignorant and sub educated. this is the new way of the world. i live in sydney australia and my husband is egyptian armenian. we look very different. i dont care what people say. its all envy. wonderful to see a young person doing the morally right thing and going with her heart. good luck.

Answer 27

ok but it could cause friction depending on the views of your families. I can't see anything wrong with it. after all, after a few more generations, everyone will be "mixed" blood

Answer 28

of course its ok....this isn't the 50's..

Answer 29

Many people look down on girls(especially) who date black guys.  Your parents may be very disappointed in you.  If you are down with dating him then that is what should count, but do really want your possible kids to look nothing like you and face racism when they are living.

Answer 30

i dont see anythig wrong with that. go girl!
