So I really want to get everyone's opinion on this. My current boyfriend and I(who of which I was high school friends with) are quite the happy couple. It appears as though people has issues with us dating though due to racial differences. I for one do not see the problem. We are quite the pair, we never argue, we share the same interests and I for one know that I could trust him with my life. I absolutely adore his family and we get along wonderfully, but it seems my family is not all that keen about us. I love the fact that we are so different, but at the same time so much alike. I'm African American and he is British American (accent and all^_^). I'm frankly tired of people being so judgemental toward us just because of our differing ethnicities. I want to know why is it what people are so hung up in old beliefs that they just cant accept things. Especially when it's really not going to be their problem to deal with anyways? Comments anyone?

I can't see much of a problem with your relationship. The problem is in you. You listen to what others tell you. You said you don't have problems with your boyfriend because you enjoy each other's company. So why do you bother to look outside of your relationship and get some problem from it? In the end, it is you and your boyfriend who will be together if time comes. The other people around you may say their own opinion, but don't allow it to interfere with your working relationship.

it's soceity, and it will probaly always be there about differences in skin color. but it will be the same about culture's as well, mixing. times have changed but many people haven't.
who cares what others think, long as you are both happy together. if you were both the same skin color, but looked a really odd couple people wouldn't care. like if you were a person who liked to be do up to the nines and your partner was laid back and didn't really care what he looked like no one would be caring about it,long as you were both happy.
that make any sense?
have fun

I, personally, could not date someone not white but I'm not racist. I treat all people the same no matter what their color. It's just in dating that I am picky, not that I date because I am already married:). But it sounds like you and the bf get along and have a good relationship. If that's your choice, or if it was one of my kids, then that's okay.
It's unusual for the african american family to object, I think. But unfortunately, as an interracial couple you are going to have to put up with comments and objections. You'll have to ignore them. Or tell them it's your choice and they can express their opinion but you will be making the choice, not them. You do what makes you happy and all will be well.

I myself don't see any problems with your relationship at all. In today's changing society it is becoming increasingly more common for people to have interracial relationships. Yes, both my husband and myself are caucasian. However, many of our friends are from interracial relationships. Our daughter, who is six years old right now, I don't expect to marry a caucasian when her time comes. The world is changing and the caucasian race isn't nearly as prominent as it once was. I see her with either a hispanic or an african american honestly. And, as far as people and areas in this country in general, I can say that my daughter is actually a minority in her school.

Thank you,wether you realize it or not,you just answered the main reason for the hatred for interracial dating and marriage.
The destruction of an entire race.
Your daughter and all other whites are now becoming the minority in our own countries,our entire way of life is being wiped out as the prolific influx and cross breeding that seems to be a way of life in itself.
I just wish people would wake up and see what they are doing.


KeybladeGoddess (5)   ranked 5,907 out of 35,394 in people  2 months ago

Mac I really dont appreciate that train of thought. I went on your profile and found you to be farther up in age so of course I believe you have a more warped view of interracial dating.

You say it like its bad that interracial dating is going on, when its not. And you act as though people are trying to wipe out a race which is once again not the case.

I also dont like the way you stated the "our own country" what is that supposed to mean. Do you think only one race is supposed to rule over a country. Well guess again buddy. Even now the president is interracial. Rules change over time. Apparently you need to get your thoughts in check

It is the way everyone is brought up. If you are happy and
in love then it shouldn't matter what your race is.
They should want you to be happy. If they were to really
get to know your boyfriend and give him a chance they
would see how well he treats you and how much in love the two of
you are I hope that he will give him that chance for you.
I am glad that the two of you are really happy you just don't see
that too much anymore these days.
Good luck to you and keep your head up.

There is nothing wrong about dating a different race. If you too love each other that is really all that matters. Parents and siblings might be an issue, but if they really care about you, they will be happy that you are happy. Your happiness should be all that matters to your parents. I hope this helps you out with your situation. Good Luck!

People talk about others because they can't deal with their own issues and it is better for them to pick on others than look in the mirror and see their own imperfections and shortcomings.

Be happy and thankful that you have a wonderful relationship with your boyfriend. So many women are struggling to find love, you have found yours. Cherish it, nurture it and enjoy every minute of it. You deserve it.

I don't see anything wrong with that. You are both happy together and get along so well. I would try to get your friends and family to get along with your boyfriend. Where I am from, I see lots of inter-racial couples out in public.
