Usually the ones against a certain interracial couple have had somebody they were dating or married to stolen away by someone of that race, or something along those lines and now they harbor a grudge. There's always some deep rooted reason.

That was in the Street Sweeper speech if I rememebr correctly. But he wasn't talking about interacial relationships, so stop mis-quoting MLK for your argument.

Should we be impressed by your position on this like you are ours ?

We have the right to think what is best for society as you do . If one of my grandkids marries a different race guess I'd have to accept the inocent child but i wouldn't have to agree with the decision .

I suspect that the people on here who post bitterly against something that ultimately boils down to skin color and appearance are much less understanding of real love and healthy relationships than my two friends, one who happens to be white and the other who happens to be black.

Your not talking about people on here , just white people on here .

But I can tell you that there are millions of black women here who don't like being rejected by their own race for another one .

I have no problem with interracial relationships, but I'm curious if most of the public still does have a problem. So I want to know people of City-Data, how do you feel? Please let me see your opinions.. White men with Black Women, Black Men with White Women. Asian Men with White Women/vice versa.. Hispanic Men and Black Women ... you get my point.. let me know how you feel?
Only if it's you. Please don't procreate.

I'm not talking about any people on here. I'm talking about real people I know in real life. My point is that there are very decent people of all races, and there is nothing wrong if they fall in love and have a relationship together. The people who have a problem with it are generally racists who just have this irrational problem with non-white people.

My first husband was from Honduras. I am white. So, no I don't have a problem with it.

However, I would caution anyone thinking about to think long and hard.

The cultural difference is very hard to deal with.

Unlike most who call others racist , I have helped the fight for equal rights , preserving a rce is not being racist, neither is being proud of who and what you are includign but , not limited to race .

I like familiarity and very proud of my ancesters . I also will fight to stop abuse of other races . Or I did , I'm too old to fight anymore or too tired .

I love seeing mixed-race couples, the more I see the more I feel it is a good, liberal place to live.

And there are millions of black women that don't care if they are rejected by black men, because they would rather be with a white man.
