Now, an African or Spaniard would be fine, but the American black and hispanic carry way too much baggage.

I would not want to have to share grandchildren with any kind dirtball....white, black or hispanic.
Your children have my sympathy.

I don't carry nearly as much baggage as you do. Your baggage is busting out in this post and most of your posts for that matter. Must be a heavy load to carry.
The load is light.

I feel no guilt.

I know many interracial couples with half breed kids who worry to death whenever their children stay with the lower class grandparents, whether the lower class be black, white or hispanic.

I will not be in that situation.

My "children" are 21 and 26.

They have no intention of getting involved with dirtballs.

Interracial couples do have more difficulties to deal with, and those who choose this way should be prepared

I'm in an interracial relationship and quite frankly, I only have difficulties when I placate attitudes that are dying out quickly.

I agree with Donna-501.

I think people who make a big deal about interracial couples are ignorant and backwards. They might be nice people, but backwards and nice. It's about what kind of person you're with, not about the skin color. Whatever problems people have with an ignorant society, dating is THEIR choice to make. With as many white people who are getting divorced from white people and black people who are getting divorced from black people in this jacked up society, I say give folks the best shot they've got at making it work, and if they believe THE ONE happens to be somebody of another race, then go for it.

People who don't want their children with somebody of another race even if that person is an upstanding, bright, responsible, trustworthy person, and who has the personal traits of somebody who would make a good spouse- that parent is somebody with a bit of an idiocy problem IMO. But many in this country are bass-ackwards like that and proud of it.

Why would you put people of a different race as dirtballs? I guess you don't get out much.

Dirtballs usually accumulate in the corners.

A wise friend of mine gave me a saying that I will never forget: "your life belongs to you." He was a guy who was an engineer for IBM who died from cancer a few years ago.

Daughter should politely but firmly tell dad, you go your way, I'll go mine. In all likelihood dad will eventually come around, though it make take years. If he doesn't, eff him.

Okay everyone. Let's point and laugh at the old fart here. You see, he's just emerged from his cryochamber and well, he's feeling a bit um, confused. He thinks that 2012 is actually 1912...or maybe 1952. I don't know, you'll have to ask him. It really isn't easy being a curmudgeonly old white guy...kind of like a live Archie Bunker who isn't familiar with English terms as "bi-racial" and "multiracial" and (due to his unfamiliarity with the such terms) call fellow humans "half breeds".

Good, now that we've all got that out of our system, let us go on as we were.

You see, this multiracial person really doesn't give a flip about your thoughts on the matter. I have dated whomever I wanted, when I wanted. If the parents have an issue, then that would be their loss..and I guess the guy's too, for that matter. I've achieved enough in life not to allow others to tear me down, and you can take that to the bank

Dirtballs come in all races.
