Re: Interracial relationships *DELETED*

Let's get back to the original post!

It doesn't make one bit of difference what a persons skin color is. It is the character that counts.

My son is married to a "white" gal and she is the most dispecable person on the face of the earth! Do I say anything! NO! He married her, I didn't and he is going to have to live with it!

Is it so impossible for us as human beings to accept anyone as long as they don't do anything to harm you? If a person treats me right, I will treat them right. If a person steps on me, I will step back! Simple, but I don't turn my back on someone just because their skin is a different color, their religion is different or because they vote different from what I do or am.

Re: Interracial relationships

Ok, unfortunately the highway kept me from reading toolman's original post before "the fastest delete key in the west" got ahold of him (you know I love ya, Buckee), but I have read some of the other caveman nonsense that toolman has posted before and I feel comfortable in saying that he is NOT the representitive of the great state of Georgia. This is the NEW SOUTH, son. If anyone wishes to find someone to use as a representitive for Georgia, look to me, I think most of you know me well enough to know what I'm about.

Anyway. I have zero problem with interracial relationships. My sister was married to one of the biggest pieces of white trash you will ever stumble upon. Luckily, she got smart and dumped his sorry posterior last July. She dated a Mexican guy after that. One of the nicest most genuine humans I have EVER been lucky enough to know, unfortunately, it didn't work out. Sure, in the past, milado children may have had problems, well, people had problems with them, the children didn't have the problem, but I think that has been almost eliminated from society because the dinosaurs are dying off thankfully.

Anybody who has problems with interracial relationships has deeper problems than that. My advice, get over yourself. It'd be different if they were doing it on your sofa and making you watch, but they have as much right to be happy as you do. Too bad for you that it's not 1905 anymore.

I will stand by what I said, and guess you are suggesting I have a problem Racksie. I do not think so, but hey maybe I do. I have never viewed myself as a racist, have had several good friends that were not white over the years.

I still say it is not fair to the kids, for the reasons I stated in my last post. If a couple, interracial, is together that is their decision and that, I dont guess I really have a problem with. When they have a kid is where I see a problem begins.

You asked my thoughts, I gave my honest opinion. If my honesty makes me out to be viewed as something I am not then, well I guess I really could careless what you think.

Re: Interracial relationships

I am white, and would have no problem dating a person who is a different color then I am, but Maine is a very 'white' state (oh yeah, and I am engaged so all done with the dating scene!)

If two people love each other than that is all that matters. Other people's opinions on them having children or being together is there own problem that they need to work through.

There probably isn't a person alive who didn't suffer some amount of teasing during their childhood. If they aren't of a mixed descent, then they will be teased because of their name, hair, freckles, clothes, or anything else kids can find to make fun of.

My father told my sister and I that we were to only date people from our own "tribe", but he didn't have a racist view of others. I think it is a bunch of B.S.. When you have no racist views that means you can look at another person and see past whatever is on the outside and see the person they really are.

It is sad that people are still so hung up on what amounts to differing levels of pigment in one's skin cells!!!

Untill Bukee goes down to Georgia and pulls out a can of woop a$$ he's not a forigner. BTW opinions are not necessarily truth. So here is my opinion.

I have taught in 3 different racial situations.

1. 95% White 2% Laocian 3% hispanic

2. 65% White 30% Black 5% hispanic

3. 80% Black 15% White 5% hispanic

Here is what I have decided about interacial relationships.

There is nothing in the bible that says it's wrong. Therefor it is not a sin. However, there are lots of problems inhearent with these relationships. Most of them have nothing to do with the relationship itself, but other people's reactions to it.

Like it or not, there are biggots and small minded people all over the place.

A lot of the older generation truely believes that it is wrong and no one will change thier minds.

Reguardless of what you hear on tv kids are mean to biracial children. They don't belong to either race and are not generally accepted by either one. I see it every day. Most black kids where I teach are nicer to the white kids and socialize whith them more than they do the mixed kids.

Most of them (the mixed kids) segrigate themselves according to how black or how white they look. Why would they do this if they belonged?

My point- There will be a time when a black man and white girl can walk hand in hand with thier pretty little mixed babies down the middle of the mall and no one will notice. There will be a time when thier children can go to school and be firends with whoever they want and "belong" to any group. But it's not going to happen in our lifetime.

Is this right? No, I don't think so. But I belive that's the way it is.

It is happening in DC. And you get used to it. The first time might be weird....But....it is also weird to see a 6 foot 300 pound woman married to a 5 foot 125 pound man! shocked.gifFirst time would be weird but you would accept them as you got to know them and saw the love they had for eachother.

Thekids should learn to be secure in themselves and who God says they are. (do those kids fit in with the fat or thin crowd? grin.gif)This should be taught to all of our children. I wasn't always accepted due to my christian beliefs. It isn't about fitting in...it's about being the best you you can be.

Actually I would prefer an inter-racial marriage over my example above!!! YUCK!!!

Re: Interracial relationships *DELETED*

Wow, looks like this thread has kept buckee busy! I have no problem with interracial relationships as long as both parties get the respect and kindness they deserve. In one case i have seen a woman enter a relationship with a man of a different race only to find after marriage his true beliefs about a woman's place came out. His religious views suddenly led to a very bad situation for the woman. Luckily her father(who didn't like the guy from the start) stepped in and promptly persuaded the guy to get a divorce. In a normal situation i think an interracial relationship is no different than any other. I will agree with some above and say that in some cases i think resulting children can end up feeling like they do not belong to either group. On a whole though i do not think it is really an issue. Any realtionship can turn bad, and any child could be born into a bad situation that has nothing to do with mixed race.

Re: Interracial relationships *DELETED*

Just in case anyone was wondering, my last post in this thread was modified by Buckee because most of it was directed at toolman, and when it was modified it made it seem like I was directing whatever comments were left to the whole group. I just wanted to clear it up in case anyone was wondering.

As for Parrothead, I learn something new about you every day lately it seems. Dang...... I think I am starting to like you. Such a new and strange feeling, I am not quite exactly sure how to handle these feelings. crazy.gif
