I think you know what I meant.
Nah, I didn't. Your kind is male, I figured. When I write something, I say what I mean. Figured everyone else was the same way.

I am in a mixed marriage. She likes the Steelers, I like the Eagles.

Well at least you didn't marry a Bengals fan. That type of marriage would never work out.

What will you do when you have a mixed race grandchild? Will you love them anyway or make them feel bad about themselves? I have seen many people that have your belief have to change when they have family members that are mixed.

But what is "our own kind"? Am I supposed to have more in common with a white guy who lives in a trailer park and is a high school dropout than with a guy from a different race (whatever that means) who has a similar background and education to me? Which one is my "own kind"?

I don't see why anyone would be uncomfortable about seeing two people in love. I don't give them much thought at all, other than "How nice."

interesting debate i asked because i wondered how people really felt about it and am seeing honest answers, everyone says they have no problem with it but to be honest if you have a daughter i could see why you would want them to bring home or marry someone of her own race.I personally dont have any kids yet but i ask myself being a proud black man if i had a daughter and she brought home a white man how would i feel.To be honest i dont really know, sure the correct thing to say would be it doesnt matter but i really dont know i could go both ways.

Won't happen. I don't have children.

I can guarantee you no one in my family will race mix. Is there something wrong with that?

If the reason they won't is because they feel other races are beneath them, then, yes something is wrong with that. What is the reason you feel that way? Also, how can you guarantee what your family will do? Wouldn't you rather your family members find someone with the same interests and values regardless of race?

Hey, you can do what you want, and I'll do what I want. What do you people not understand about "my own kind"? Yeah, that means sticking with my own race. What is so wrong with that? Just because I don't believe in what you do doesn't mean I should get the third degree.

What was this thread about to begin with? It ask the question, "What do you think about interracial relationships". Well, I was just answering the question! Did you not think no one was going to disagree with it? Geeze...
