Title: Why are some parts of our society hung up on interracial dating & marriage?
Post by: cball55 on September 02, 2010, 06:28:36 pm
My spouse & I are white/african american.  We encounter some individuals of the african american persuasion, that are really upset about us being together.  They have gone so far as to state that the "GOOD" black guys always go find them a white woman.  It's like they are jealous or something.

Why do you care what they think? Are you both happy with eachother? That's all that counts.

Probably because it goes against ALL the laws of nature. Proof is in nature itself-----Have you ever seen a blue bird mating with a cardinal ( red bird)?? NO ( They are both birds)......Have you ever seen a tiger mating with a lion?? NO (They are both BIG cats)......Have you ever seen a wolf mating with a Collie??NO (They are both dogs)

It does not matter what others think what makes you happy is whats important. In the end we all turn into dust. So in essence we are all the same.

Wow, you can't predict how all of nature chooses to procreate, there will be deviances along the way, nor can you state that different species mating with eachother is against the laws of nature. You have no Idea what goes on in the wild, especially at the microscopic level. Nature will suprise you one day, I hope you are open-minded..........

Thats just how people think. It doesn't mean they are right. People are cruel. As long as you 2 are happy and content, then screw what anyone else thinks.

Really, I don't care what they think.  We are both very happy with each other.  We always look out for each other, especially when one of us is down or hurting.  And we know we are blessed to  have each other.

Biblically, there's nothing wrong with marrying other races.  Moses married an Ethiopian woman (Black).  

What IS said is that to marry an unbeliever is to be unequally yoked.  There will be problems in the home.  He warned the Hebrew children not to marry the pagan, as they were idol worshippers, and could become a stumbling block unto them.  There were instances though that they did intermarry, when that wasn't an issue.

Marrying outside another race is not forbidden, but you'll have cultural differences, and you should be aware that your children will have to carry on the fusion of both.  Interracial offspring are commonly beautiful in appearance, and highly intelligent.

Many missionaries go into other countries and marry a converted native.  It's very common and acceptable.  I know many interracial families that are happy, and have stable marriages.

Hmm, as will an American marrying someone raised in France. That is just one example, but it can pretty much apply across the board as far as culture, language, customs, holidays, and children will have to carry on that fusion as well don't you think? I have quite a few 'couples' friends who are of different countries and I know this applies to them and their children.

That comes across as very condescending. It sounds like a PSA from the 1960's - "Do Not Fear The White and Negro Relationship".... ???

Well, the statement about so-called "GOOD" black men dating white women is completely wrong, just look at Tiger Woods and O.J Simpson, LOL. There are plenty of "GOOD" black men with black women. The debate is, they're hard to find given the number of eligible black men versus black women ratio...Personally I don't have an issue with interracial relationships, I have a problem with people making up insensitive bogus excuses to why they choose to date or marry outside their race...Rather you are with someone of the opposite race out of love, preference or in many cases convenience, be happy, do you and don't worry what anyone else has to say about it hun.  :peace:

*Sigh* I weep for humanity. Tigers and lions have mated, as have dogs and wolves....  People like you make me want to run through the streets screaming and setting things on fire.

Yeah, tend to agree, but I don't think I would start any fires - not worth the prison time over pure ignorance from anyone. I still don't know if the poster quoted was actually serious or just making a (very) bad joke, but I hope it's the latter of the two..... :(

Chill jordan.  I was being in extreme in expressing my frustration, but it's not something I would actually do.  It annoys me to pieces though that people still think this way.

No problem here, just surprised me for a sec because I don't think you and I have ever had a heated disagreement on anything, but I could be wrong - who knows these days on FC? ;)

Nah, I was just clarifying in case.  You got my Cthulhu joke so I was surprised as well.  May the tentacled one bless you with many fishes.

Condescending?   It was a compliment, and an observation...nothing more!   I see you didn't quote all my post. Like the part......I know many Interracial families that are happy and stable?  

I don't recall breaking out any Interracial couple like black/white.  Those are your words.

When I used the word "fusion", I meant it as culture, language, religion, etc.  These points are discussed in pre-marital counseling.  Every couple that gets married (in our church) goes through pre marital counseling, Interracial or not.

The fact that it is 2010 and we are so hung up on interracial relationships just shows how far we still have to go.

Annella,
Please don't make this more than what it is. Since when do I, or anyone, have to refer to all parts of a post? Asking since you felt the need to go back and add more. I agreed with the 'fusion', I mentioned language, culture also and asked a question about it being the same in your opinion ie "don't you think?" I did not say 'religion' but customs and holidays can fall under that in part. The part I said I felt was condescending was purely my opinion, the last time I checked I was allowed to have one, and I am not going to recant what I said. If you haven't noticed, this entire thread is geared at black/white relationships, so yes I said what I did, but it wasn't off kilter in this thread and I did NOT say YOU broke out black/white.
