Interracial marriages don't bother me at all. I grew up in an area where they have become quite common, so to me they're nothing new.

Wisdom has reached my head, finally
That didn't work out so well for [URL="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0433416/"]Gogol[/URL].

Even better the Supreme Court approves of them. Having lived through several years of """States Rights""" where my marriage was legal in one state and illegal in another these threads about who has the right to marry who sicken me

Probably a Stormfront member. A lot of these people come up with various excuses to discourage others from marrying out.

I quickly went on to okcupid, match and catholicmatch. Suddenly I was on dates with diverse women, all of whom look great, dress great putting their cleavages on my face and it would be fun to play every one of them.

Then I paused and asked myself, "I just got out of a mentally cathartic interracial relationship, and I am signing up for another?". What got me thinking was the movie wall street. The film opens and Shia says a line, "What is insanity? Doing the same thing again and expecting a different result"

My peer asked me to come to his second kid's birthday party. So I went to Jersey, after the party, late, as usual, coz I was lost. He's an immigrant as I am. 4 bedroom house in Jersey, two garages, adorable kids, wife brings me snacks, biscuits and coffee and implores me to stay for dinner and leave in the morning. He lives a royal life and the ticker - he makes less money than I do, and his family wasn't at the same social level as mine was. We're from the same town.

Like putting salt on my wounds, while I was leaving the family was packing the car to go to some theme park in Jersey the following morning. Now why am I not having that life when I am more than capable of having it. So what did I do wrong that he did right? Poor life choices. Bad judgement.

For me I'll lay blame squarely where it belongs, on the bullies and their parents.
Like the other responders you're missing the point, but I see the lay of the land here so I'll withdraw.

I knew a guy who grew up in Alabama. He was mixed race and he often got bullied by both Blacks and Whites.

I'm a pretty metro-sexual dude myself. I'd be happy if she adopts American culture and takes care of herself in fashion and beauty. But at the core, inherently, once a musketeer always a musketeer

American women are great. They are hot. They are nice. They are sweet. I just don't think I want to put myself into the risk of marrying one, and divorce her in 20 years losing half of what I painfully accumulated. Becoz trust me, my accumulation has already begun.

Things have improved dramatically in a half century as far as attitudes regarding race are concerned. When I was in high school in the 60's it was still illegal in about 19 states for a black and white partner to get married. I also live in the South and it's common in the bigger cities like Nashville where I am so see interracial couples and no one seems to pay any attention at all. I've even seen gay couples in the downtown area of Nashville where all of the clubs are located and nobody batted an eye. As far as the children of mixed race parents are concerned they are becoming very common and don't forget, our own President happens to be one of them and it's not even an issue.
