Black/white, Asian/Hispanic, etc etc....what is your position on interracial relationships? And what do you think about the children that are products of those relationships?

sniffy dog and others who think this question is innappropriate....I am all for people excersizing their right to free speech and their freedom of opinion....I am white and married to a black man.....i have mixed kids....and we are happy! So, no, i am not trying to start a "Yahoo! Answers fight" as lame as that even sounds....I am just curous as to how people think! SO if i could get jesse jackson and the grand master of the Klu Klux Klan to answer then I have just deepened my own knowledge of just how different a culture can be within the same country!

I also find it fascinating when people want to point he finger like i am racist.
White woman married to a white man saying a white woman married to a black man is part of racism "problem" in america...yeah ok!

The children are usually beautiful! And I think that in 100 years interracial dating/marriage and the wonderful children produced will end the racial divide!
Just my opinion but I think it is good for our society!

I don't think there is anything wrong with it as long as cultures don't clash. I don't think there is anything wrong with inter-racial children. Just make sure that with the different races there aren't also cultural differences that you can't accept. Make sure that you are not getting married simply to prove a point. Ask yourself, if this person was the same race as I am, and had the same qualities, would I still want to get married? People who are from other countries could be a hard situation in the case of a divorce and children. Just be very careful. Overall I think that interacial marriages are not a problem.
I don't have the same attitude about inter-faith marriages though. I don't advise inter-faith marriages at all. You both need to have the same beliefs and faith to make a marriage work.

There is nothing in the Bible against interracial marriage or dating. God's people were instructed not to mingle with other peoples not because of their race, but because of their anti-God religions. The New Testament says that there is neither Jew nor Greek, male or female in God's eyes. There are cultural differences that interracial couples need to address, but if they are willing to deal with that and marry, by all means they can and should.

I have nothing against interracial relationships, but Prejudice will never end and people will continue hating. Both people have to be extremely mature. As for children - It would be even harder for them because they haven't lived in this world long enough to understand other people's hatred. When you think about it, aren't the majority of people really interracial? Just because a person looks white or black, doesn't mean that their entire family is the same race.

Although I do believe that people should be with those who make them happy, I have a suspicion that it may harm the gene pools to have interracial children. It is possible that this is why there are so many new diseases sprouting up all the time. Though it is not apparent except for the skin coloring ,people of different races are quite different in deed.

I think it's great when any two people fall in love, no matter what race/religion/ethnicity. In my opinion, it shows how far we've come in society with acceptance and love of the human race as a whole. As long as you raise your children with good morals, love and guidance, it shouldn't matter what race/religion/ethnicity the children are either. Instill them with respect for themselves so they can teach other children as well who may not be as open-minded (because of what they've learned from their parents). It's usually the older generations that need some help with tolerance and acceptance and the more interracial and interreligious couples there are, the better (I think).

well, i don't think about it.
and about the comment above that is a stereotype (about the kids always being beautiful) they are regular kids. some will be cute, some will be fugly. i've seen all kinds of mixed kids.
they are no different than normal kids. anyone who says different is just tryna kiss-up because they fear sounding racist.
would i interracial date? no, i really love black guys. maybe a biracial boy. does that count? besides i would never add to the hate. so i won't do it.
see the whole interracial/biracial things is hurting the image of some because ppl stereotype "pretty" in my race. pretty is light skin and long hair. so i would not interracial date because my kids would be stereotype "pretty" having light skin and long hair. and the other kids in my race, the darker ones with normal hair, would feel bad about themselves. i'm a dark-skinned girl with regular hair, and i would not want anyone to feel bad about being a black person.
its a self-hate thing in my race. we love ourselves also. it is confusing. only someone actually apart of the race can understand.

Well - it is about time that the world realized that there is no such thing as "interracial" anything. Words like, mixed,
,bi-racial,etc, etc. When is this world going to "wake-up", the DNA code was broken 15-years ago, proving that WE ALL CAME FROM ONE SEED! So how do I feel, the children fair quite well, it is society that has a problem and your question is one of them.

I'm probably biased since nearly everyone I've ever dated has been a different race than myself but I think it's refreshing to meet someone who has a completely different outlook and set of experiences than me. I don't have children but I can't recall seeing a child and thinking "they're interracial" so I would say I think of them as any other child.
