Do you think inter-racial dating is okay? I mean, yes, it's getting more and more acceptable, but do you think it should be? Do you think people should stick to their own race? I personally think it shouldn't matter what color skin you have. It only matters what's deep within. I'm in an inter-racial relationship right now, in fact. I've never been with a black guy in all of my 16 years here on Earth actually. My step-dad is white and I guess I just grew up being more attracted to white people. Anyways, that's beside the point. Please respond. I'm interested in what you think.

Love is a powerful thing11% Voted for by xxAlecia18xx, broken leaves, tender-butterfly, looking4realtruth, petethemeat. (7 total)
Love is a very powerful thing between two people. You can’t help who you fall in love with, and you shouldn’t have to. I believe that there is someone out there for everyone, and it doesn’t matter what their color should be, or how they look…True beauty is sitting on the inside within them and that’s all that should matter…And if anyone doesn’t believe that you can’t help who you love…Wow you’re totally wrong…Do you have black/white/mexican friends….Ok so whats so wrong with being in a relationship with them…AS i said beauty’s on the inside and not the out…Love is a powerful thing and if you discriminate on loving someone just because of color you are truly one horrible person….

To each their own8% Voted for by Energizer Bunny, Lstjed, exquisite mind, Lady Soldier, infoterror.
Everyone has their own opinion but I personally am not for it. I do not think either race is above or beneath the other. I believe the Lord created us all equally and loves us with the same forgiving love. But, for me personally, as far as marriage relationships go, I feel people need to stay within their own race. Let me explain a little. If you take crayons individually, they are all beautiful with their vibrant colors. Now, melt them all down and put them into one bowl. You will end up with …blah…, just a bland excuse for a color. Furthermore, you do not see animals doing it either. Blackbirds do not mate with Bluejays. the Black race is a beautiful race and so is the white race too. I just think it’s important to keep all the races the way God made them. If you feel differently then that is your right to do so. Without a doubt there are many opinions on this issue and all are welcome.

mixing up races creates beautiful possibilities and absolutely gorgeous children, it should not matter the color of ones skin…when it comes to relationships act blind and get to know the person inside…cuz everybody is beautiful.

Black, Puerto Rican, and Italian6% Voted for by PoetPrincess, Lady Soldier, NoifUK, infoterror.
I am a person of mixed decent! Yes I love my self and do think I'm beautiful but i wish my mother would have found a cute Italian of my father found a strong black woman! I struggle everday with who I truly am! I identify most with my black side. I feel because my mother is white I have to prove that I am black everyday. I make sure I dress in hip hop attire and rock the most ghetto girl hair styles! Some times I live up to the sterotypes just to prove that I am black! How would it make you feel if you knew that your ancestors at one time beat, murdered, and raped your other ancestors. It's like I cause pain to myself! I hate most of all when ever I feel out a form it says ETHNICITY select one. I am more than just one ethnicity and what really pisses me off is that freakin OTHER!! As though I were an alien. So in all this I do not agree with interracial reletionships. Yeah you may make some pretty babies but they won't know who they are.

not for me5% Voted for by doll4, Lady Soldier, Kei-Aira.
i think its fine but for me personally i couldn't really, i once had a relationship like that. There was many things that he didnt understand about me, my culture my people and it was difficult especailly as he had no interest to undastand aswell. also i felt i was limited in what we talked about, and i think, it would be difficult bringing up the children, but for me this issue to do with culture aswell as colour.

From a half-breed3% Voted for by Scrap, Hybrid Poetista.
I myself am interracial, half-mexican, a fourth cajun-french, and a fourth scottish. Three very different families and three very different cultures. I have grown up knowing and being a part of different cultures and races all at once, and love it. I have never found any problems in it, for me anyway. The only problem I have ever come across is people who don’t like it, that means they don’t like what makes me up. That shit is messed up, nobody ever thinks of what comes of the inter racial relationship, kids like me. I have never seen colors when it comes to people, and I think that it is stupid for other people to. We are all people, and to separate ourselves by race just adds hate and ignorance that we don’t need, it does nothing good for anyone but create reasons to not like someone or something they like. It is wrong to differetiate, that is all that comes down to it. As the product of mixed races, I like it better this way, I look european, my little brother looks mexican, our little sister looks european and mexican, we’re all exceptionally beautiful, and I’m in the advanced classes at school, my brother draws amazingly, and my sister has an awesome voice, we have talents and weaknesses just like anyone else, and we’re inter racial ourselves, so all of our relationships are inter racial you could say, there is nothing wrong with it.

o0oO... touchy...3% Voted for by PoetPrincess, exquisite mind.
wow.. this is a touchy subject seeing that you are in a relationship of this sort. In my opinion the races should not “mingle” ( but who am I to judge) I’m not a “racist” per say (a black racist in Alabama, oh my!), but i do have strong convictions on matters such as these. I think that one should stick with their own “kind”. Yes humans are a “kind” of species different from all others but that is not the trouble here, we are talking about interracial mingling here. I personally would not date outside my race ( my mother would kill me and my father would have a stroke!) No, this has nothing to do with the “old south mentality” just personal feelings. to me, It signifies a lack of respect to my father and every other black man/our ancestors who fought, were raped, beat, and killed by “the white man” for my right to be free. I would never parade around with a white man on my arm, it sickens me to see this display in restaurants, clubs, etc.. (yeaaaa..that sounded a bit racist) but I also believe that the heart has no bouderies and that a person has the right to choose whom they want as a companion. Many “mixed people” that i know are beautiful people, but often times at a young age, struggle to find their identity, they are torn between what “defines” them -if that makes any sense.. this is a major issue that most people dont have to deal with; its an issue i would never want my future kids to deal with. I want them to know that they came from a black woman and black man, they must have a full understand of what it means to be black, what battles were fought (and won) so that they could be free as blacks, and not have to worry about “who to identify with”. I couldnt do the interracial thing, I am a black woman, I love black people (chocolate men especially) and wouldnt cross over for a min. It’s just not happening! but thats me, I agree WHOLLY with Energizer Bunny’s comment, and despite the descrimination or stares you may get (from people like myself) keep you head high, and God bless you and your relationship !!!! Do what feels good!

It's AWESOME3% Voted for by Gosh I Love You, Lady Soldier.
I think it's great! It's just skin colour, ain't nothing wrong with people dating other 'races' because we are all part of the human race. I'm dating a mixed guy who looks all black, but I am Lily White, I don't have a problem with it! I think it's fine to date other races, everyone is mixed with SOMETHING.

Myy opinion3% Voted for by -TheLoneWolf-, infoterror.
If by inter-ratial you mean black and white, I think that the bloods should be kept sepparate. White and Blacks are both beautifull, but together they make people who are somewhere in between, and I don't think it is aaxactly right. If by inter-ratial you mean simply countries, I have nothing wrong with that.

The reason blackbirds do not unite with blue jays is because, well, um, they're of a different species, Energizer Bunny. Black humans and white humans are still humans. A black bird and a blue jay are two different species. A black or white human is still homo sapiens, but but a blackbird is Euphagus cyanocephalus, while the blue jay is Cyanocitta cristata.
While I appreciate that you were very kind and I still have very much respect for you, I also must respectfully think that you're very wrong in your reasoning.
