Few things in America still generate looks of disgust quicker than the sight of a black man with a white woman. Even the most liberal among us have to search our tolerance levels at times to resist the urge to frown upon or condemn couples that don't "match." While we tell ourselves that true love knows no color and respects no ethnic boundaries, there's a little voice in us that invariably asks the question, " but what about the children?"

:(
Oh god...I've met those I'm-the-victim types before. "Boohoo, we get seated last at restaurants...boohoo we get stared at when we visit cities in the South...Boohoo, one time I went to the store and a Mexican stabbed me."

Get over it

I'm white, and my GF is black (her parents have Jamaican roots)

We've been together 19 months, and not got/had any problems at all.

Ignorant for not reading your grammar book, sure. ;) Questions end in a question mark.

:p

weee!!


Doh!

:frown:

I'm serious guys. You or your parents wouldn't be pissed if your sister walked in with a black male?



My parents and I would be pissed if my sister brought a black guy home. I would disown her. I'm guessing by you asking a question like this that you yourself don't like it. Its just not right in my opinion. You don't see red birds and blue birds together, or grey squirrels and fox squirrels together.

That's great confused. I've seen a few Jamaican women and they usually are very good looking.

So what. Who the hell are you to judge? Let her have the man she wants and live your own life the way you want it instead of forcing your life on everyone else. mkay? kthnxbye.

I said "wow" because it's just such a marvel of psychology that the simple actions involved in me living my own life are enough to offend. I mean, I don't really even know what to say here. It disgusts me so much to hear stuff like this.

Maybe I'll figure out this post later, but as of right now, I don't even know where to start. I will say this, though: I'm really glad that most people either don't care about skin tone, or can at least accept the color difference. I'm well aware that the older generation is clinging to those prejudices, but thankfully all of that is on the way out, and I guess I just didn't need to be reminded of it on ATOT.

I'd like to say that "I'm sorry." It's obvious that I offended you.

Group hug? :)

Actually, my parents just had a talk with this about my sister yesterday. They would be pretty damn angry.

My stepsister is engaged to a black guy & they have two kids. If my stepfather had/has any reservations about it he hasn't made them known to me. My mother I think finds it a bit odd but has never said anything or shown anything but support for them.

If your ex-gf or ex wife started dating an African American male would it eat you up? Although we have made great strides in concern towards race it's still taboo to see a black male with a white female. I feel most Caucasian males still can't deal with black/white relationships.

Also, has it happened to you?

I dont care what any of my ex-gf's do and I dont care who they date. They can hang out with any spear chucker they wish to.
Further proof that you really are an idiot. I knew it the first time I read your gun control thread. Thanks for reaffirming in my mind what a jackass you are.

I don't care about any of my ex-gf's or my ex wife, but i have children, that changes the situation, as long as he is a good man he can be any color.

Sometimes i just have to shake my head, people still have problems with races, even after all this time, and then they say that affirmative action is not needed anymore. :roll:
