Would YOU let your KIDS date someone OUTSIDE YOUR RACE???

Question

If you white would you let your kids date someone black or vice versa?

Answer 1

Why not? Love is love no matter what package it comes in.

Answer 2

Frankly I don't care, I have an attraction to white guys now myself, I know how my parents feel about interracial stuff and they may not like it, but as how I look at it, I have to live for me. I mean why just be with your own race because its the politically correct thing to do? I mean just because I'm black, why should I stay with a black man that may not make me happy down the road. But I'm just doing it to make others happy? I mean that is really f*cked up when you stop and think about it. Because you aren't living for yourself your living for the world. I know my mom would pitch a huge b**** over that, and say that why make things more difficult for yourself, but I want to be happy at the end of the day, screw what society says is the right way to be, because society started hating change the moment time went past the 1950's. I'm sorry if it displeases people if I say I like white people. I don't care, cuz I know there are some that are going to hate me or like me. Its the way of the world. And freaking be a individual and quit trying to control people. That is the bottom line.

Answer 3

first you will have to spend a long time determining what your race is when the dna from the latest test on neandertals comes in we will learn a bit there and if every person on the globe had their dna history done we would find that those peole who think of themselves as pure in one ethnic background will have a great surprise coming. Dating someone of a different skin color isn't the same as immediately making babies with them In a society that is far less tolerant than it should be it is sometimes hard for bi-racial couples and their kids but like everyone else here answered it all depends on the person. a parent trying to direct exactly who your kids become close to is in many ways a recipe for extremely hard feelings and rebellion if yu raised them right they should be able to make good choices on their own

Answer 4

I would let my children date over cultural boundaries. I don't believe we are different races. We are all a part of the HUMAN RACE! There is only a minute percentage of physical differences between us. After all, we all came from Adam and Eve. As long as the person is of good character, why should it matter? I think it would be harder to cross religious lines.

Answer 5

Interesting question Mike, why do you ask?
Here is my experience as a mother of three teenagers. We live in a very small 99.9% white community. My son asked a girl from another town to his school prom. When I met her at the door was when I found out she was not "white".
I have raised my children that color is on the outside so my son never thought it was an issue to explain to me that his date was black. Good for him, gold star for me.
However, I wish I could have had time to explain to him that Small town ND is not as accepting as he is and I wish I had been able to explain to him that some people will say nasty things.
When he proudly escorted his date out for Grand March there was nasty whispers, and gasps. Both him and his date handled it well, but it must have hurt feelings.But he kept his good friends close by and ignored the others.
So date who you like, but educated yourself to the harsh reality that there will always be nasty people.

Answer 6

Absolutely! Race is only an issue because we continue to make it one. I have a 10 year old son who, I can already tell is going to be into white girls.
I'm not thrilled about it, but at the same time, it's what he likes and I have more important things to worry about.

Answer 7

Absolutely. I think it's very healthy for the genes to get a little mixed up sometimes, get some fresh stuff in there. The kids are betterlooking, smarter, healthier. They have more access to more cultures.
There are definitely some challenges, culturally, but I would think that nowadays you get that no matter what.

Answer 8

I would rather them date a person of another race who treats them well than them be with a person of our race who doesn't.
Actually, my children are of mixed races. My husband is Caucasion and I am Pacific Islander. The differences in our cultural backgrounds make a wonderful mix of the best of both worlds.
I would always take my children's feelings into consideration. It is all about who they choose to love as long as the person, in return, loves them.

Answer 9

Yeah! You've just insulted millons of people on this site! Who cares what color they are, I wouldn't care if the kid is green! I'd just see his pesonality is like. What if your girls/boys true love is colored, and the white guy/girl you wanted your children to date was a jerk! You are one raced, wacked out, old hag witch! I hope you and this person they like get married in the future, without feeling sorry for mommy kins!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 10

Teach my child to treat others as you would wish to be treated - with respect ...... civially...........friends...
but when it comes to dating and being in relationships, there is always the potential for lifetime unions.......
mixed race unions generally do not last altho has been tried thru out the years...........
also should there be children from these unions, they bare the biggest burden in this because are never really accepted by either race and its families.

Answer 11

I have two of the most beautiful grandchildren. Some say they are 'mixed', some say they are 'bi-racial', etc...I say they are two of the most beautiful grandchildren. Why? Because they are mine and I don't care if they are green and purple. God blessed my daughter and son-in-law with a son and daughter.
Aren't we all bi-racial? Or are you talking the color of one's skin? I, for instance, am Indian and Scilian. Does that make me one of those "Outside Your Race"? You better get used to it! It's the next generation!!
I'm curious to know why "andertwinsens" said no
