Values and beliefs transcend skin color...

Does that automatically make you "good" people despite your personal flaws?

By definition alone, no.

To bring it full circle to the thread topic and why the OP seems to be having trouble finding "good" people....perhaps she needs to define what "good" actually means for her and if her lifestyle and character is actually indicative of what she wants to attract.

All of this was covered earlier in the thread.

I would not consider a racist relative a good person.

Seriously, someone straight out said that they were racist and you continued to date her??? She's a nice person otherwise...
For sure.

She's really hot and has the same hobbies as me. It's rare to find women who actually love hiking, biking and skiing. She's really feminine too which I like. She's never been around black people and grew up in Thailand. I don't think she hates them so much as she's uncomfortable around them. It's a little different upbringing, over time I feel like she'll adjust.

My grandparents are a little racist in the general sense but they get along individuals of all types. We have a mixed family and they are fine with that. It doesn't mean I'm going to cut contact with them because they don't see eye to eye with me. They're good people, just WAY different backgrounds and experiences. Sometimes during family get togethers they say pretty awful things while my BIL (He's Mexican) is around. He understands and kinda winks at us when they start their little political rants. Ha

In which case, it's probably better for bigots to pair off amongst themselves. Saves everyone else the trouble of weeding them out.

Where do you find good ones? How do you know for certain they are good?


I have been spending time with a good friend and he is always right there for me and his actions show me he cares, but how do I know he wont suddenly change?
The Marine Corps has some good men

Yeah, she needs to move to a larger city.

OP, expand your horizon, if you can't move, I suggest the online dating avenue.

Open yourself in dating more than just white men, that could help.

I am a farm raised, cowboy boot wearing country girl that has a very redneck profession. A big city would never be my style. I would rather be single on my 2 1/2 acres surrounded by farms, then move to a larger city.

I'm pretty sure there are men outside my race who share my same value and beliefs. I'm not sure why there wouldn't be?
