Yes, I'm against discrimination, and most people with brains in their heads are too. I'd really like to know WHERE in the Bible it says anything whatsoever about interracial dating? I spent a lot of years studying the Bible, formally, and never heard or read anything like that. Not in the Bible I used in either the Lutheran or the Catholic church (which, btw, was the same Bible).
A lot of people are mean--people of every color. And a lot of people are nice--of any color. You just need to stop looking for the bad in everyone, and start looking for the good. A good beginning might be to look for 'good' people--crackheads of any color are generally not what most would call 'good people'.

I like your question. It's neutral, balanced on both sides of the fence, so I can't decide if you're for one race or the other!
Why would I be for discrimination? It's stupid. Just because some black men are in jail doesn't mean all black men are in or have been to jail, or all black boys are going to go to jail anyway. (Really, that's why some teacher's in "black" schools don't do their job: they think they're gonna go 2 jail anyway.) Additionally, just because some blondes are stupid doesn't mean all blonde white ladies are stupid.
Stereotypes are the dumbest things ever though of by man.
P.S. That bible thing is total BS. Whoever told you that needs to get their facts straight. Big tyme.

i don't like it when people discriminate. People should have open minds and accept those for who they are. if somebody doesn't like another, then ignore them. I have friends of every color, many nationalities and i think it is because people who know me know that i don't judge people by their look. I know people in gangs, i know people who are arrogant jocks, i know those pagent queen like people, i know every type of person and they all accept me and i accept them.
For those haters out there, have fun being lonely. Im never lonely because i accept everyone from all walks of life. As for the bible thing and the whites and blacks never marryinging, IF THAT'S SO (im not saying the bible does state this), that's just ignorant. My view is: if people love eachother, then they should be together regarless of race, religion, financial situation, and so forth.
I like to live by Bruce Lee's quote about water: Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.
to me, that quote isn't just martial arts, it's a way of life, just go with the flow, if something gets in your way, go through it or around it, don't stop.

Yes i total see where you are coming from. But i don't think that in the bible it says that. hey i could be wrong but i highly doubt it. i don't get why people think just because the color of their skin makes them better. Or why do we judge people. Yes i do wish it would all just stop and every one could just get along but it isn't that easy. The problem is every one says how wrong it is but no one does any thing any more. it is like they just don't care, when there where people risking their life for us all to have equal rights and now no one even cares it feels like every one still acts like they are better than one another

Perhaps you'd have a better idea what the Bible says if you actually read it. Nowhere does the Bible contain a prohibition against whites dating blacks.
That said, I'm afraid I do discriminate, though not on the basis of skin color. I discriminate against thieves, rapists, arsonists, murderers, liars and others who misbehave.

I'm pretty familiar with scripture and I haven't come across anything saying blacks and whites cannot date. There are churches out there that get into what is termed 'legalism'. Meaning they require more from their members than what the Bible actually says. Pretty doggone stupid to me.

I think you should date a black person. You need to realize that they are cool and wonderful people. Put religious belief aside and realize that each and every person in the world has some great beauty inside of them. You only need to look for it.

A lot of people misunderstand the Bible.It said not to date people outside of your religion .The reason for that was so the Israelites would not be turning to paganism where people sacrificed their babies alive in the fire to their heathen gods.
A lot of the people they were told NOT to marry were the same skin color.So it was never about skin color, but about not being pulled away from the ONE TRUE GOD.

yes totally against any sort of discrimination.
we all are children of God so should not be treated in this manner. Love one Love all. Just try to be little far from the one who smells stinky or give them some good guidance.
Instead buy good fragrance/perfumes for them.
If someone dislike you because of colour, caste, creed than you should forgive them as they are less educated, ignorant.
