what is ur opinion on interracial marriages?

Answer 1

My parents had alot of abuse thrown at them when they were first together 30 yrs+ ago. Many were against the marriage.
But they have come through all of this and maybe it has made them stronger because unlike many marriages they are still together today (25yrs wed).
Society can be cruel. Although not too much fuss is made these days about black/white marriages, it is still a big issue for black/asian and white/asian couples.
As time goes by i think it will be more accepted.
And why not? Love is colour blind (or so i believe).
If you can make the other party happy and build a firm foundation for a family i dont see the problem.
But then I would say that, wouldnt I? lol

Answer 2

I think that the reason why people of all races struggle with the issue of interracial marriages stems from ignorance and complacency. Different races have different cultures and to mix the cultures is to lose some of each culture. That being said, however, human progress occurs through the sharing of information and this sharing can often occur through shared cultural experiences.

Honestly, if my children were to inter-marry I would have perhaps a slight reservation only becasue I would fear the loss of a part of me. I would not stop it nor would I be angry. I would accept it becasue I also understand that happiness is more than simply color.

The last thing I would add to this, however, is that I would be far more troubled with a inter-religious marriage - especially those with differing view points. Christian verses Jew for example. As a Catholic how would you expect me to feel if I teach my children to beleive in jesus and then when they teach their children, one parent beleives in jesus and the other does not?

Answer 3

I wouldn't trade mine for anything...it's because we share so many things with each other that we would not experience otherwise. We are strong and committed and never work for any ones approval. Not to mention the fact that our kids are grounded, understand culture and real, true love at a much younger age and are more excepting of others. We have gotten looks, yes. But an interracial couple who is in it for the long run, will only use other peoples ignorance to better their relationship. God loves us both the same and I have learned to be a lot more patient and loving towards people who are hateful because of my husband and my marriage.

Answer 4

No Problems - I am a white guy happily married to a beautifull West African woman.
Yes there may be a few problems from ignorant people who can only see skin colour - but it is no problem for us as we do not know these people and we have many friends both black and white.
We are all the same -Human Beings-and as soon as the majority of the Worlds Population relaize this then the World will be a better place to live in

Answer 5

Interracial marriages are a true sign we are evolving. Hitler was so wrong when he tried to create a white aryan race. Science has taught us that when there is too much inter breeding there will always be flaws. ie birth defects etc. Life is about change and we should accept it. Imagine if we didn't accept change there would have been nothing invented and we wouldn't be using these computers.

Answer 6

What bugs me is what do you expect to happen? How can you put all kinds of people together and expect for them not to develop something for someone else? I mean if you didnt want people to inter-mingle together than you should have left all the africans in africa or ban any other group from coming into a particular area, because you put a group of people together and they are going to find something they like about someone else......

Answer 7

Takes all kinds to make a world.

It's not for me personally, but each to their own & all the best to them.

I have friends in mixed marriages. There is no difference. They love each other just the same.

Answer 8

it incredibly is unlucky that interracial couples nonetheless face diverse annoying circumstances in some areas of the worldwide, yet i'm going to on no account, ever see something incorrect with 2 human beings loving one yet another....era.

Answer 9

Well, as I'm mixed race, all I can say that it did my parents no harm...but remember some folk in the sixties and seventies who regretted their marriage so much that they took their anger and upset out on their bairns...giving them 'chips on shoulders' (as the old saying goes)- the regret was nothing to do with what colour their partners were, but at how British society as a whole treated them

Answer 10

If two people of different races find a sincere bond with one another that's fine. What I have problems with are "trophy" boy/girl friends. These are people who only want to be seen with someone of a different race just so they can prove something. That's not being fair to them selves or to the one they're with.
