I am a Black American female involved in a potentially serious relationship with a white German man. We enjoy being together very much. Our biggest barrier is language. Perhaps, We may be so into our time together that we, or least, I am blind, but I don’t see or feel discrimination when we are together. We haven’t experienced any situations that would fall into the category of being treated in a fashion I would associate with prejudice or discrimination. I was previously married to a white man in 1980′s – that was a totally different story. I lived in Minnesota and now live in Arizona I believe times have changed and perhaps were one lives makes a difference also. I don’t doubt that some couples have and will experience some form of discrimination because a small mind doesn’t understand you love who you love.

Of course the attitudes of society at large toward interracial relationships has changed. It has been slooooow but inexorable progress. Some individuals still have steel traps but they are not in the majority.

people go on so much about race i date whitemen. because i want to not all are my cup of tea. most men cannot handle because of superioty issues . what is the boss going to think ?. my family see i stay away from men who are not well rounded who is scared of taking a chance . i been rejected by blackmen , whitemen. but guess what most did me a favor by getting the hell out of my face. they just make a hole for another man to come into my life that i need not want? there is a difference. i do not go by my wants any more that landed me in jail. of the mind.

so growing over the years and had to put up with a lot of bullshit. when you are a woman who has power and assertive they find it threating. see it takes a strong man to deal with a character like me. i know what is best.

hell to the know interacial relationships does not change see let me tell you something i might be older than most of you on here . at 52 yrs. yes it is more white men. but not that many. are dating black women. i had conversations with so many people on this topic . you are in north america. it is stuck on stupid. people fear what they do not understand. number one a lot of people are spirtually dead when you are spiritually def. as i call it. you are locked into learned behavior. but to put someone down because they have biracial children is wrong.!! plain stupid and wrong.hell i have white in my family my damn grandmother was cherokee and irish mixed. she was lighter than snow. but i love her. god rest her soul..

the northwest?.. where? life is what you make it everyone is hung up on who got what . race look at halle berry. yada yada yada. no wonder our kids is confused. diversity should be taught as a ciruculum in school. because the parents are the ones because they had some bad experience and stuck on stupid they brain wash their kids to hate. and it is a damn shame. you only know what your taught. stupid is as stupid does.. “Forrest Gump”.

I am a mom of 5 mixed children. I am white and my husband is black. My friends all have many mixed children like I do. Including my friend whom she is black and her husband is white. My kids call themselves black; and not white. They said they feel closer to the African American side of their culture rather than the Caucasian side. My little ones say they are brown. I have 4 girls and one son. 16 girl, 12 girl, 7 girl, 5 boy, and 3 girl. My youngest one is as dark as her daddy is. She is a dark caramel color. I see people look my way when I am out and about with all my kids. We live in the Portland/Vancouver area and it is more common here to see bi-racial couples. Where we live mixed children are more common than one race alone. There are quite a few mixed with White and Mexican too. So, here in my home town I feel comfortable. But when we go on vacation, that is when I get the most looks. I will see people nodding their heads counting how many kids I have when they see me. I always have more than just mine too. My god children are all mixed too, my friends kids are all mixed as well, or neighbor kids. Racism is not dead at all. I had a run in with a new neighbor recently. He told me that it is people like me that has made the world come to what it is. I do not know what he meant by that but our President is Mixed and he is going much better than anyone I know personally. So, being mixed I cannot say is so bad. Especially if you live in the Great Northwest!

Well it goes back to topic of dating outside of ones
race,in some cases it’s exceptable in other cases it’s not.That’s the kind of world we live in.The father is a hippocrite too,his wife is korean,I mean
give me a freakin break,he’s Irish/Italian and I
guess he’s forgotten about his ancesters past and what they went through to be excepted in society.My
father is Irish-American himself and if he read this
he’d be pissed,ya see alot of people who are Racist/
prejudiced know about the history of what their
people went through when they came to this country.
However,because they have been excepted into society
they use it as a means to S#&* on other people
who are not of that race or who’m they feel should
NOT be excepted into society.I sucks,but,Irish and
Italians have ALOT of prejudice in them believe me
I know,they act funny towards blacks and in most
cases hispanics(among others)it’s a way of making
themselves feel better because they actually know
about their ancestors past.Many of them stereotype,
but,correct me if I’m wrong,if there’s any group
of people who are stereotyped,it’s the Irish and
Italians.I guess they see it more as a pride thing
then anythingelse,PLEASE give me a freakin break
most of them are a bunch of WANNABES anyway!.

I am a female of mixed ethnicity, African American, English and Scottish, and I am also the second generation of American citizens. I have a boyfriend that I intend to marry one day that is also Multi-racial, he is half Korean and a quarter Italian and Irish. Most recently his father, who is Italian and Irish looked me up online, because I am an athlete and am very involved at my university, and told him to break up with me from the pictures he saw of me online. I do have darker skin than many other people but I do not portray myself in any type of ill manner and have a good head on my shoulders. With that being said my boyfriend was still told to break up with me and if he should not then he will be cut off from his family financially and kicked out of the house. I thought this was cruel and hypocritical because his mother is a korean immigrant; and his mother and father are still together. I never thought that such a thing would ever happen to me because I was raised to be open minded, accepting and tolerant of others. Apparently, times have not changed as much as I thought they had. Apparently it is okay to be multi-racial in the minds of some…but unacceptable to be mixed with Black. That is okay, because my boyfriend has not broken up with me. We are still together and weathering the storm. This is why I love him, because he loves me for me.
