I personally have absolutely no problem with it, if a white guy want's to love a black woman and vice versa I say let him or her.

I dont care, i do find it funny and sad that i would get disowned if i was in an interracial relationship

Interracial relationships are fine with me. I happen to be a product of said type of relationship (Black and Hispanic) as are the rest of my siblings my elder younger brother who is all black while the others are Black and Hispanic (Roja Calor and Kage Negra) and my youngest siblings are Black White and Japanese.

Well, here's the thing. I don't want to come by as nagging or naive, but from my perspective I think it's okay in my book. My parents come from completely different races, yet they've loved each other for over twenty years. Sure they get into heated arguments, but they don't let that dictate their decisions or their relationship.

Also, I agree with maguc about the family matters.

Anyways, I think it all comes down to this; if you really do love them, then you'll love every piece of them. That includes everything about, said, person. So, is your love greater towards them, than your fear of facing challenges with them?

I don't see anything wrong with it. I don't think race should be something to be extremely important when starting a relationship. I think is more emotional appeal, honesty, loyalty, respect, communication, mutual understanding, compromising, and all of those things that matter most in a relationship. However, I do understand and respect that some people just won't date a certain race and to me that's perfectly fine, I don't see that as racist but rather preference. I fully understand each side and agree with them. As for me there are cultures, religious views, and perhaps certain races I wouldn't date just because of personal preference. I've dated mostly within my nationality (can't say race because I'm multiracial) but, I'm currently dating a German and there are a lot of things we have in common and a lot we don't. So far, it's been good but, to me the biggest deal breaker would be views on marriage, raising kids, religious views, personal goals, etc. Reason being that if he ends up being someone I am going to spend a lot of my life with I don't want to necessarily go against my beliefs or views but, rather expand them as long as it is within a certain understanding where I don't feel uncomfortable. I think everyone should have the option to choose and not be judged for it.

You made an Awesome post! Well said and very smart

I think of it in the same way I think of a same sex relationship.  There is nothing wrong with loving another person and being in love with them. Regardless of sex, race, religion, a man and a woman have the right to love one another just like a man and a man, or a woman and a woman have the right to love each other.  I think partnership is beautiful when you find it and it means the world to you.  I love my wife with all my heart, and color has nothing to do with that

I don't have an issue with anyone marring to another person of a different race. To me, it doesn't matter if you're white, black, grey, red, blue, yellow, purple, green, or whatever color and race you are, as long you and your love is happy, that is all that matters.

My older brother in fact has an African-American girlfriend and this doesn't affect me at all, as long him and his girl is happy, that is all that matters. People don't have to marry to the same race and different gender, people can mix it up. We are getting to a point that both sides needs to deal with it and move on.

Someone dating a person that is different from their nationality is interesting to the person ,not that it feels it isnt interesting dating some1 of their own kind,but true love does not disqualify some1 else because of where they're from and when it comes to true love ,it doesnt matter if the two people come from different parts of the world,we're all one in this world and share the same feelings when it comes to desiring some1 to care about and being cared for despite differences or whatever. I hope i'm making sense as i say these things and i believe true love accepts you ,appreciates you and never takes you for granted..It takes some time of knowing each other before they actually want to marry the person if they want and start to wear the worlds smallest handcuffs A.K.A (Wedding Rings) but it takes time to get to know each other,understanding 1another ,trusting each other and not being disrespectful .Being in love means more than just appearance,it's about having some1 by your side who feels the same way for you as you feel for them.A love that you wont have to chase but will always walk with you is the best love than trying to impress someone and going through deception and disappointments.True love honors you,respects,and does not spend time with you just to kill time,but to enjoy their time. Love is not just something people feel they want,but something they need ,and if there are people who feel like they do not need it,and prefer to be alone then that's another story.Am i losing track of what this post is about? because i feel like im talking more about love than the difference about race ,but anyway there's my thoughts! True Love has no boundaries, it has a sole intention of bringing two people together.At the right time,If the person is meant for you,he or she will be for you.I'm single thats why i have the time to write this

They beat dating cousin Suzy Mae, I tell you what.

I don't mind them at all, I just very rarely see them. I think people in my school are scared of getting bullied for having that kind of relationship.

Like others have said, it might not work out that well if your cultures are different, and same goes with religious beliefs. My grandma (on my dad's side of the family) is a Christian that's been married to an Atheist for many years. It doesn't seem to be near as close as the relationship my parents have, and they're both Christians.

PacmanandMariofan :

Is atheism some sort of a race to you people then? Is the atheist green on the face and does the passport say Atheist land?

Brigand : For most of my post I was talking about relationships of different cultures and religions since I didn't have much to say about interracial relationships. I don't consider religion to be a race at all.

PacmanandMariofan :

Then don't say anything at all.

As long as the relationship is consensual and loving, who cares? My late father-in-law (whom I never met) was "proud" that his children were White and frowned upon when most of them fell in love with darker-skinned people. To quote my brother-in-law, "You can not stop your heart from loving." Interestingly enough, the only one of his child who married a white person is... my husband.

My opinion?

Being in a relationship with an interracial person is no different than any other person of your "own". There is no problem with this, and there never has been. Sure there will be some obstacles one would have to jump over to compensate for theirs and your own differences, but if it works, then there may be a chance the love ignites with a greater intensity, maybe more so than same skin love!

Now we know of the problems these days, the way how some people are stubborn, frightened, or downright frothing at the mouth at the very notion of a different skin color is saddening. Because apparently the past fifty plus years isnt good enough for us. I dont understand it, and Im happy Im not the kind of white person that just looks at another skin color and wants it away.

So in conclusion? I look at another skin color, and all I see is another human, and because every human is different, beyond skin color and interracial, the effort, time, and determination to get to know somebody and to get that close is as equally triumphant as anybody who, well, isnt interracial.

Well, here is my opinion on interracial couples. As long as they love each other, then why should we judge them? Why should we say they're not allowed to be together? It's their lives, and they can live it as they please, they're not hurting anyone, nor causing a problem for anyone, so leave them alone. Now, I myself, am technically in an interracial relationship, due to my finance being Native American, and I, myself, am white. Though, I wouldn't date anyone outside of the lighter skinned races, not due to racism, but, I am just not attracted to people with a dark complexion.
