It is not wrong for any reason. God doesnt say we cant do that. God says not to be unequally yoked with another, meaning dont be linking a believer with a non believer, or two that are supposedly believers, but dont share conviction about Bible truths. ITs not about race. God says WE are all created equal, and He loves us all the same, not one over the other. The only difference God sees is those that are His from those that arent, otherwise we are the same. God doesnt care about race , or any of that. Many ppl think it is wrong tho, and even a horrible sin. But doesnt matter what they think. All that matters is what God says, and God has no problem with it at all.
But, when a person chooses to do that , interacially marry, they must know how ppl in this world can be so mean and hateful. not all, but many. And they will be treated awful sometimes because of it. You must know that it will come, and know if you are strong enough in the Lord to be able to take the abuse and stand up to it. My daughter was engaged to a black man for awhile, and it was harder than she thought it would be. Not only from comments, but often in places like restaurants, etc, either no room, or sat clear in the back. it was so obvious and it was harder for her than she thought, tho thats not the reason they deceided not to marry. He was a great guy and I would welcome him, but not many in my family feel that way.
Whats odd is this, if you read the Biblical descirption of Jesus, He was not lily white. So for those supposed Chrsitians that cant stand blacks, I tell you, they dont know God at all.
Just know what you are getting into and that your kdis will go thru a lot too. I do admire those that have gone thru with this in the past, no matter what hell they went thru, becuase as hard as it is, its way better than it used to be. Someone had to take stands to start opening the doors.
Its nothing more than ugly, vile racism, that God just simply hates. So do I. and No I am not black. It just doesnt matter. What we are we are, and its all good. What matters to God is our heart. Are we His or not????? If you are Christian, just be sure you marry someone that is on the same spiritual page as you are with God. Pray for your famlily and otehrs to see truth and learn to accept it. My first husband was white and I am white, he about destroyed me and our kids. God would rather I married a good black man, or a good green man, whatever, than to have married the evil I married. But thats all past and its all forgiven.
BUt color just isnt an issue to God. We must learn to not let it be an issue with us. But I see it is , in all the races. I have a black gal as a neighbor that i really like, but she has hatred of whites for all they have done to the blacks Thats also racism, and she doesnt believe there is no such thing as a white person thats not racist. WEll, not only am I not there are many that arent. We must begin to put the past behind us, and think as God tells us to think, and have our eyes opened to such total stupidity, no matter which side of the fense we are on. My black friend said you tell me you dont see black when you see me?? Sure I do, It just doesnt matter. I see my white friend as white too. Just doesnt matter. I dont say I am color blind and cant see, I just say it doesnt matter.
IF you do marry someone outside your race, I pray things will go smooth for you all.
Remember this: There is no such thing as a pure race any longer, they have been mixing from all the way back to adam and eve. THere is only ONE race, the human race, and if we all would just get that one thing, this world would be a much better place. We must tell them what God says , so they will KNOW, and pray that some will receive these truths.
God bless you . Remember too that God says we are not to let anyone, even family, come between us and God, and He says when we marry, we cling to Him and to our spouse. No family is to come between us. If they do, we can love and forgive them, but GO. just let God deal with them, and live your own lives and let them know you do love and forgive, but that you wont stand for any nonsense. God doesnt require His ppl to be doormats to anyone.
Bless you to overflow.....

It was extremely ignorant of Wesley Snipes, as a public figure, to say something like that. If he doesn't prefer to date black women, then that is his business, but he doesn't have to bash any one group of people just because he isn't attracted to them. The fact that he belongs to the same race that he is bashing makes him sound arrogant, as though he is somehow "too good" to date black women. And considering how short Wesley Snipes is (and let's not forget about his financial issues or the fact that he hasn't worked in a while), most black women really haven't cared about him one way or the other. If anyone wants to bash men or women from another race simply because they aren't attracted to them, then the bashees are better off without the attentions of someone so ignorant.

there is nothing wrong with loving someone that's is a different color than yourself, some people are just racist and can't see past color. if you love someone, you stay with that person, love=happiness, and with such little love in the world today, we have no right to suppress it when we find it. and their family will just have to get used to it. i'm white and my sister married a black man, and my mom was a little upset about it when they first started dating because thats the way she was raised, but eventually after she got to know what a good person he was and she saw how happy they were together she let those feelings go and we all love him very much, i feel like my mom learned a lesson after that and she is no longer racist in any aspect that i can tell, she never disliked people of other colors before she just didn't want my sister to marry him, but now she is different and she says that all that matters is the person not the color, so i'm glad she came around, and i think if given the time, other parents would possibly do the same.

WHO says it's wrong?
We are all the same species! God did not make it that the babies by such unions were sterile! (Such as a union between a donkey and a horse makes a mule or jenny - the mule/jenny is sterile and can not reproduce).
God made us all.
God loves us all.
The reason for remaining within one's race would be more for comfort of a common community. You have more in common with people you grow up with than others. It's a natural "comfort zone" to stay within a particular group. But it doesn't say to not have friends that are different or date someone who is different. Life is for experience, too, and learning about others outside of our social circle. It's when someone has unsubstantiated distrust or hatred toward others that aren't from inside the circle that problems arise. And you can't change people, most times because we just grow up and develop our own "rut" to view the world from. Children can be taught to have tolerance and can grow up to be more open minded. It's the folks who grow up having a mind-set of what people are like and they are not flexible into learning about others that creates problems.
So, it is NOT wrong to date outside of your race or culture, but bear in mind that you do want as many things in common as possible, should marriage result. If race is not a commonality, then look for other things in common such as faith, education, goals, friends, hobbies and such. So long as the couple can walk along the same pathway and see life thru the "same eyes", then it is a match!

I know it's not wrong because I do. Black people like to say that we as black women should stick to our own because we"have to preserve our race" which I think is total bullsh!t! So in essence it is not wrong, black people want us to think it's wrong because of their personal hang ups over race and what makes one "authentically black" as oppose to a sell-out. I do not prescribe to any of these beliefs. I, as a black woman feel that you get love where you receive love. I have received love in the arms and heart of a white man not a black one and if anyone including my family has a problem w/ that, then that is their problem, not mine.

It is not wrong to love, period! Love doesn't care about skin color, beauty, money, etc. You can't help who your soul loves (the hearts only function is to pump blood). It is wrong to go out and pick only certain people that you will "love", or to eliminate certain groups of people from your "love". But you love who you love, whether they are black, white or polka dot!

Many people think it is "wrong" for me and my husband to be together...but we have been for nearly 20 years (nearly 17 of them married).
Do what YOU want and don't worry about what anyone else thinks. I've never understood the "big deal" about this anyway. People are people.
