Interracial Relationships

---

I have to say that I've been extremely happy over the past few years with my relationships with black women. I'm a white male and my ex is a black woman and my current love is as well.I'm just wanting to find out how many others on this forum are currently in or have at one time had an interracial relationship, be any two opposite races. Are you or were you happy despite the problems that come along with it?Unfortunately my ex decided she loved white men so much that she wanted more than just me as hers. But now, the woman I'm with and I are so happy, I'm considering popping the question in the future.

I am currently in, and have had past interracial relationships. I can't say it's a big deal to me though. I also can't say I've had problems because of race. People are people, and people fall apart. I've learned to steer clear of guys who only want to be with me because I'm black. Not exactly a lasting reason to be with someone in my book. I'm worth more than that.Congrats on your happy relationship. Keep us posted when/if you pop the question.

Thanks and I'll keep y'all posted on my attempt and outcome.I really despise those guys that are into black women just because of their color, too. I've had to work with a few of them and it's been hard to see their actions. Despite what I say for them to chill out, they continue. Funny thing about it is that the women seem to pick up on this and they are never successful...plus it helps when I drop a bug in their ears about the guys, too.But the problmes I've had have been family, usually. And not from theirs but from mine. Seems that the black families have accepted and respected me more than my family towards her (aside from my parents). This disgusts me but I'm a grown man free to do as I please. If they don't approve then they can kiss my ass. I've lost some contact with family because of it but it's their own ignorance.Anyway, the public here seems to approve. We've had nothing but positive things from others about our white/black relationship in public, especially when holding hands. All kinds from young to old have approached us and told us how wonderful we look together and how happy they are to see we are in love and could care less what negative things people think.

I myself see no problem with interracial relationships, I think it is amazing that people are grown up enough to get over the whole 'color' diffrence. I'm happy to know that you have a great relationship and I hope when you pop the question she'll say yes ^_^ I've dated a hispanic guy before and although some people in my family and some of my friends weren't exactly thrilled for me, they accepted my choice. I mean it's my life and I will choose who I'll date who I wont and it has nothing to do with their skin pigment. I remember going into McDonalds with a friend of mine and there was a black man with a gret sense of humor working as cashier and I whispered to my friend "He's kind of cute, don't you think?" and you know what she did? She turned up her nose and said "I don't do chocolate." It really pissed me off. I told her that just because he wasn't white doesn't mean you she couldn't appreciate his looks or his personality. I hate it when people make judgments based on color instead of the person themselves. Anyways, congrats again on your relationship, I hope you have a long and happy one with her.

well, I'm mixed asian and white...so every relationship is somewhat interracial I know my parents' relationship was rough sometimes because of cultural stuff. Even I've had this problem from time to time. I think, though, that having the same fundamental values outweighs the cultural issues.

I used to have a crush and sometimes went out with this really cute boy who's mother was black and his father was asian (I think Japanese) and his features are sooo sexy. Everything about him was sexy. It's hard to explain though. But some other lucky girl got him. lol

I don't see color! Racism, bigotry and prejudice are my hot buttons. I dated a black girl for about three months and it didn't work out. That was about 5 years ago and she is still one of my best friends. In Martin Luther Kings famous speech he said, "Judge my kids by the content of their soul not the color of their skin." Lot of wisdom in this. Blocking out groups of people because they are not a certain color or ethnic group is a form of racism.

Actually, MLK said: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."But the point is taken.

do you ever stop correcting people? what they say, their spelling etc etc..............jesus anyone would think that each post was a test of sorts, do you give us marks out of ten for content, or grades from A through to F for effort and relevance...........sigh can't you just...............oh i don't know give it a rest????

not till the 8th, are you going anywhere nice in between?????

Or have you found a new fella who won't let you leave the bedroom for a few weeks??? Not that you'd complain...

addicted to this site I can't believe I'm being criticized for posting too much by someone who has almost 6000 posts, so many of which are completely vacuous, and will shortly be the second most prolific poster in this site's history! Life is full of irony! It's full of something, anyway.

~AngelWitch~, in answer to you question, and there is in fact a difference between "soul" and "character". One is a religious and metaphysical concept, and the other defines how good a person you are. While quality of character is a good thing, ignorance is not, and it's not becoming to revel in it, ma'am. Perhaps, if you relax, you might actually learn something.

why should i relax, im fine thanks.............as you said in another post to me, i should feel free to say what i want blah blah blah, so i am, you constantly correct people and its annoying, so i said it was, end of story.........no one said it was good to revel in ignorance, but this is a message board steve, not a classroom, and YOU could do with relaxing just a bit................oh and please don't call me ma'am again its so damn patronising......thanks hon

Honey, I was concerned about a nutty explosion like the one you had when you incorrectly thought that someone called you a liar. You are free to post what you wish. I suppose I am as well. It's a rough world out there.

nutty explosion LOL hey you did piss me off, but, instead of just ignoring you, as i usually do grin i didn't, I blame the big time PMS myself: i was in tears from the minute i woke up on monday, to the time i went to bed, pathetic really.............so now i have your permission to post what i like huh, well bugger me thats ok then eh laffin

I'm just saying that if anyone has a comment about the issue, it shouldn't be you. :wink: Why don't you go back and count how many of your posts were actually useful, if you need something to keep yourself occupied? :wink: I mean, doesn't it seem a bit :blush: hypocritical :blush:? :wink:

wow. lol.

And don't abuse the word "earned". It hasn't harmed you; why do you torure it?

Oh, don't mind Steve, he has just got "post envy". And Steve, no word playing.Continue the hijack, just lets talk about that threesome!
