I wonder if the children of the next generation will be in a world that is anymore tolerant than it is today. How fast is change coming about, if any?

 

Interracial dating is a NORM today, our parents are the OLD FASHION type, plus some OLD FASHION type in OUR GENERATION. The society will get used to it and future generation will be ok. I believe INTERRACIAL kids are better looking, when you combine something, mix it, it always comes out better.

IMO

 

I have to agree that usually biracial kids are darned attractive, getting the best of both parents. My wife encountered resistence from her parents when we started dating, but since we were engaged then married, both families have been fine and it's nothing unusual. They like that I understand and speak spanish!
Our boys are gonna have to beat back the girls with a stick when they're older.
We don't really speak about race in our home, since both are under 10 and don't deal with it socially yet. We don't say "see that black man over there?" We say "there's a man in a blue shirt", because in America race is too much on the front burner.
My point about racism is that it's illogical because you can find examples of the same behavior in all races: drunks, druggies, murderers, doctors, lawyers, scientists, wife beaters. Those are not factors of race but usually of intelligence.

 

Well im Black and I love Spanish women ! there i had to say it! lol I live for the senoritas! :cheer:

 

Changes happen over generations. I don't believe it will be too long before IRR's are seen in a better light. Some people who are from my parents' generation are SO stuck in their viewpoints that they won't even consider anything else. I say just ignore them and eat while they rant

Seriously though, some parents are way too involved. Luckily, mine were totally fine with my situation, but my other's weren't, and still have this huge problem. We ignore them and get on with our lives.

 

I am in one .......Her parents are cool with it....However mine have a problem with it ....they have not said anything but i just know....But my babes is wonderful and i love her to death...all thats matter is we both are happy and content...Plus she drives a TL.....

 

Oh that's cool that she drives a TL too!!

 

I can relate with you man. I just started seeing this black girl about a month ago (I'm white). I mentioned her to my mom and my mom looked like she was ready to kick my ass. Then she called my grandma and told her all about it in her angry voice and my grandma called me and said that if I don't stop going out with her that I'm out of the family. I don't think she's serious, because she told my father the same thing when he started dating an Italian and he ended up marrying her and my grandma never cut him off, so I'm not taking her seriously, but I can't believe that this many people even care about something that doesn't have much to do with them. My uncle was "concerned" about me seeing her until he saw her (she has a nice body) and then he told me to "have my fun, but don't let it get serious". Her step mothers cool with it, but when I met her father he didn't even try to hide the fact that he doesn't approve of me. He told me to my face that he doesn't want his daughter dating a white guy. He got even more angry when I kissed her in front of him. On our first date we met up at Starbucks and hung out for awhile before our movie started and these two white dudes were giving us dirty looks the entire time we were there. We also went to see a Nas concert a couple weeks ago and this big ass black dude got in my face talking trash and even asked her what she was thinking dating a white guy. My friends all seem to get along with her, so I know I have a good one, but ever since I mentioned her to my mother not 1 day has gone by without a phone call from a "concerned" family member telling me that I'm better off without her. I'm not going to let any of these people get to me, because it's my decision and it's really none of their business, but I'd like to know what the big deal is. If my mom wanted to date a black dude I'd have no problems as long as he wasn't an asshole, so I don't see why she would care about what race the girl I'm dating is. I think the day that everyone is mixed will probably be the day that no one cares anymore.

 

WOW, that's some of the most bigoted garbage that I've ever heard coming from family members! The next thing to do would be to ask them WHY they think it's a bad idea. What are they going to tell you? Dark skin makes less likely for her to sunburn and you're the one who's gonna get skin cancer and then she'll take all your money when you're dead?

 

That is real craziness. Don't let it affect who you date, or who you marry. That's like sometime telling me not to like ice cream. How the hell can someone tell YOU what you like? If the family members can't get used to the idea, just limit the amount of time you spend exposed to them. When I decided to go an out-of-state-college near my then-GF, my dad refused to help pay for it.....well, it's been 13 years and two kids later, and guess who lost out on a solid relationship not only with me, but my wife and kids. I wouldn't stadn for his intolerance and how it "wouldn't last". Hmm, maybe he meant wouldn't last an eternity....I mean geez we've been married 10 years now, Dad....
