I saw a reply to a question about interacial children, that the children arn't the problem, it's not their fault. The message said the problem is black and white people shouldn't date each other. I want to know the reasoning that people have for this.

I think it's ok, I want to hear from the rednecks who think it isn't. I'm a white guy who's about to marry a black woman in a few weeks. Our families are more than supportive; they're excited for us and have been pushing for marriage and children for the last couple years. I just want that guy who said blacks and whites shouldn't date to give me the rationale behind his statement... PLEASE!

Wouldn't it be nice if the world was open and accepting? It's not!I worked as a teacher for several years, and we all know that kids are mean,mean mean! School can be difficult for all kids, but for kids that don't have a group to "belong" to -its even worse. I've seen some kids who left school because the black kids didn't accept them because they were too light and the white kids thought they were too dark! The bi-racial girls would have it even worse if their moms were white and didn't know how to style their hair!Growing up is hard enough. I wouldn't intentionally make it more difficult for my child.The word selfish comes to mind when I hear people say, "those people against it are ignorant." Get back to reality! All is not equal and fair!

This is why we live in America, FREEDOM, of choice!!!! I am a 47 yr old white woman and married a 40 yr old black man!! He is my BEST friend!! We have alot in common as well. I don't live to please everybody else, I live to please me and what makes ME happy!! I found him & we got married after dating for 2 1/2 yrs this past March. I have 4 grown children and he has 3 grown children. As long as we are happy and we do pay our own bills, then who has a right to say differently?? LOVE has no color!!

There is no reasoning. It is old behaviors in play. If you are attracted to a midget from outer space, all power to you.
You will find people hold to antiquated moralities of skin color, mostly from fear and prejudice.
My kids say they are the blood of a thousand tribes. We never check a specific box. How could anyone, nowadays?

Such trains of thought are taught as part of a racist and separatist agenda.Unlike species cannot produce offspring.Each time people from different races produce children,it exposes all lies of any races superiority over another. Peace.

When I was young, my mother told me it was because of the children.
White+White = White children.
Black+Black = Black children.
White+Black = An Oreo! (No offense intended. ;)
I personally support interratial couples 110%.
I was in one. I'm white, and I was dating a Japanese man.

I believe someone already mentioned ignorance? Well, that is correct. You can marry, or date whatever race you want.

if it's cool with them it's cool with me, I really don't care, but what does irk me is when someone is 100% against dating inside their own race. There is nothing wrong with interracial dating, but don't hate and discriminate against your own people, that's jacked up...

You should marry whoever you fall in love with. Race doesn't matter.
