Now, RJR, you know Adam & Eve were a nice Jewish couple, so don't be a schmuck. :-)
My beliefs about these things arise more from cultural distinctions than racial concerns . . . in any relationship, the more a couple has in common, the better.
Still, sometimes love DOES conquer all . . . even if I'm suspicious that that's what's *really* going on when everytime a black man makes a million dollars, the first thing he wants is a white girlfriend. You tell me!
ADDED: Aaaah, gotcha, RJR. Believe me, as a Heathen in the Buybull Belt I face similar difficulties . . . finding ANY Heathen female's hard enough . . . finding one under 200 lbs. is well nigh impossible (hey, most Northern European immigrants were "farm stock" . . . we're big people). But as someone who's had many cross-cultural relationships himself, my perception has been that it was the cultural differences, and not the racial ones, that were the biggest problem.

I personally don't think it's wrong to marry someone of a different race; if someone tells you otherwise, don't listen.
I've met incredibly kind and intelligent white people. But I've also met incredibly kind and intelligent people of other races--obviously, it's what's inside that matters. I think it is less likely that I will marry someone of another race, not because I wouldn't, but because there are more caucasians in my area than people of other races. However, if I met and fell in love with someone of another race, I'd have no problem marrying them--black, pink, orange, neon yellow, glow in the dark--it doesn't matter, as long as I love them. (Although, a glow in the dark spouse would most certainly make for a rather interesting marriage, no doubt, lol.)
I'm atheist; I don't believe that there is a God. However, if there were, I don't think he would've foreseen the development of other races; if you don't know something exists or that it has the potential to, it's hard to create. Either way, it shouldn't matter--if you love them, marry them, if you don't, keep searching--find someone you DO love.

Adam and Eve were white? I thought they were neither white nor black but somewhere in between with a limited potential for variation of the genetic code. But you started out with Black and Asian. Why did you have to bring in white?
In my opinion, it is best to marry someone of the same race, religion, social standing, educational achievement, and culture. But if one has to take precedence, religion should be the most important factor.

What a load of hogwash! Where did you get the idea that Adam and Eve were Caucasian? Depictions of them as such have been produced by European artists, but kindly do not confuse artistic license with historic fact. Moreover, kindly do not confuse the Book of Genesis with historic fact. It ought to be clear to anyone with a shred of common sense that the stories in Genesis were written in such a manner as to make the complicated business of generating the universe de novo more accessible to people who hadn't the foggiest clue what an atom is.
I thank God every day for the blessing of the love I share with my fiance, who is not of the same race as me. If his skin were purple with green spots, it wouldn't matter a fig to me. In fact, I rejoice in our differences - makes life ever so much more interesting than if we were cut from the same tired old mold. You may take your pathetic, outmoded racial prejudice and stuff it, if you please. I can't believe that God would give my fiance and I the gift of twelve years of love and commitment if there were anything wrong with it.

Adam and Eve were most likely dark complected. Many have thought that the garden of Eden was located aproximately around Ethiopia.

If God wanted to prevent this from happening, inter-breeding would not be possible.
There are plenty of examples of inter-racial breeding. In Genesis 6:1-4, the Sons of God are mating with the Daughters of Man - so there's your biblical endorsement for interracialism.

If God didnt want interracial marriages, He would have included it in the Law... and He didnt. Solomon, David and Moses all married outside their races.

I don't particularly know that Adam and Eve were white.
Moses' wife was black, so much for your proof.

Who gave you the right to stipulate that Adam and Eve are white names? You are racist...
