No, I wouldn't be "ok" with it, not at all.....I am white and no, I would not want my daughter to marry a black man.
They would have nothing in common.
They come from two different cultures, two different worlds.
I know it is much more common than it used to be, but I think there is still a great divide between white and black cultures.
I think white people should marry their own kind, and I think black people should marry their own people. I'm not in charge of the universe, though; so when I see a mixed couple, it doesn't unduly concern me.
But honestly, no, I would not want my daughter to marry a black man.
If I was black, I wouldn't want her to marry a white man, either.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to be with your own people, many black people feel the same way...
I would not disown her for it, however. She would be an adult by then, and capable of making her own choices.
I think I might feel a little bit differently than so many others. I don't mind if my daughter dates (she not old enough to date yet) a man of another race. I have always taught her to treat all people with respect and not base friendships on the color of a person's skin. Some say that people of two different races would not have anything in common and come from different worlds. As far as I am concerned there must have been some type of connection, and some things in common for two people, different culture or not, to start a relationship with each other.
Gay, or straight, tan or black, white, blue, green or purple skin. Why should I care as long as someone treats my daughter right and that she also treats them right?
I would hope that all of the values that I have been teaching and still continue to teach my child will stick with her when she is old enough to date.
I agree that religious beliefs are alot more important than the color of our skin! I'm pretty sure that GOD (yes GOD) put us all here equally! But, that's just my opinion! I would have a really hard time if my Daughter's wanted to date someone that didn't believe at all! It is ultimately their deicision though, and at some point regardless of what 'we' (parents) want for them, they will choose for themselves!
I have 2 biracial children. They are half black, part Puerto Rican, and part Italian. They've never had any identity problems. I've taught them from an early age that we all bleed the same blood, and that there are good and bad in ANY race.Their friends are made of of Polish, Spanish, black, Asian, Albanian, etc.
I find it quite interesting that several people have a problem if your child dated someone of a different religion. As an agnostic (leaning toward atheist) parent, why should I (or you) care what religion my potential daughter/son in law is? It doesn't affect ME in any way, and clearly my child doesn't care. I'm curious as to why this in an issue (other than how it relates to actual treatment of your child).

I guess they're thinking of their childs (and grandkids) souls.
This question can be very difficult for many people. One woman I worked with dated a black fellow when she was 15. Her whole family was against her relationship with this guy. The more they objected the more she saw this fellow. When she got pregnant at 15 with his baby, they turned their backs on her. She told me that when she tired to see some of her uncles, aunts and cousins, they all told her she was dead to them. They never spoke to her again. Many minds have not changed their attitudes about interracial marriages and when some one tires to break those boundaries they will often find them selves alone.
