Interracial (serious)relationships/marriages

[Spoken Word]

My cousin is having severe problems with his.
Most interracial marriages I know of end up divorced.
On the same page, most same-race marriages divorce also. lol So I'm just curious, don't throw stones at me:hippy:

I've had serious relationships will ALL kinds of races. And I usually get comments from the girl saying her parents love me and have never met someone as well-mannered and respectful. So I've never really had a problem with the parents of the girls dating(in a serious relationship)a latino, I just had to deal with haters in public.

As for marriage, I want my child to have the same values I was raised with. So, for now, I plan on marrying a Colombian girl. But who knows, love's crazy!

this is too hot of a topic for me to get too deep with...do I think black guys should marry white girls? hell no. that's me.

I've honestly seen a lot of hispanics together with white girls and do nothing except get them pregnant over and over..then eventually leave..

It's all a matter of how you feel really..

[not_the_kitty]

I've never been in a serious relationship with anyone of my race and I will probably marry the girl I'm with now who is Mexican. I don't really think interracial relationships are any different, people are people, some are different colors, but whats going on in their head is what counts.....and besides I couldnt give up my Mexican girls beautiful ass :thumbsup:

oh, I agree with you.. I was just being "diplomatic"

but let's not make "broad" statements about any race cause that will just lead to people getting offended.
every race has scumbags and normal, productive people.

My brother is happily married to a woman of another race and they have no problems. Her parents seemed reluctant to accept him at first- likely worried that he and his family would not have the same cultural values- but after meeting all of us they seem to have decided that we all came out all right and their daughter was in good hands, lol.
Come to think of it though, he did mention that when they were in the Carolinas recently, when they went out for meals they got ignored by waitstaff and stared at by other customers... people are so fucking shallow and rude.

[RyanTheCaveman]

yeh shallow, and rude...but also racist pigs.

pity.

I didn't do real well with my first 2 wives, I don't know that I want to get married again. Maybe if I could just lease for a while?? I don't care what the color of somebody's skin is. Its whats on the inside that counts.

[napolitana869]

I think you should marry someone because you love who the person is, not what they are. Theres no denying that those relationships will encounter more problems socially. Some people just cant accept love between two "different" people.

Something I have experience with.............well, I am "white" (I have a hard time with the term, because who really knows ALL what is in their heritage after slavery, with slaves being raped and such) and I know that we also have Cherokee Indian and Portuguese in my family. In the neighborhood we recently moved in, people asked my fiancee if I was Hispanic. It doesn't offend me, that they assume that, it offends me that they care enought to ask what race I am. I mean really, who cares? But I do have darker skin than the average "white" person. It's like I have a tan year-round, with no need for tanning beds, lol. My mother has a very similar complexion, (and she has a pic of her and a "real" native American at the Cherokee reserve, she looks like she could be his daughter) but my father has a very pale skin coloring, and sunburns easily. My fiancee is black, and we have one daughter, 8. I have dated both white and black men, (not in a long time, though, as my fiancee and I have been together for 10 years) I never judged anyone by their race, but this is who I ended up with. We have a good relationship, and you may ask, "if it's so good, why aren't you married" but I am still in college, and our wonderful US gov't. will not give me financial aid if we have to count his income with mine--so when I finish school, we'll do that. I'm kinda like Bill Maher on marriage anyway, I know I'm with him, he knows he's with me, so who needs a piece of paper. But my point is, I've had good white boyfriends and I've had bad white boyfriends. I've had good black boyfriends and I've had bad black boyfriends. People are people. Now I think I would be offended if someone had a relationship with their horse, or cat, or bird. That might be an issue for me, but we're all people, so what's the big deal? I live in NC (the south) so sometimes people will glare at us, but it's really not that common anymore. In fact, I had an elderly white lady approach us the other day at Golden Corral and tell me my daughter was beautiful, I should send her pic to some modeling agency in Greensboro. My parents (well my dad, my mom didn't care, but she didn't back me up either) did not like this idea, and I had some hard teenage years, but eventually they realized it was not a phase, and came around. They love my daughter and my fiancee. He has always held a job since my daughter was born, (even when I didn't) which disrupted his sterotype that "all black people are lazy" And I think even my dad realizes I could have done worse, he only has to look as far as my sister's boyfriend, who is white, and a real sucker.

I've seen lots of happy interracial marriages and about the same amount of unhappy ones. Just like I've seen lost of happy same-race marriages and about the same amount of unhappy ones.

I think people ought to marry who they fall in love with, frankly, and who they feel sympatico with. If it's someone of the same racial origins, great. And if it's not, great. Live and let live.
