When you can state an objective,and logical reason for disapproving of

interracial intercourse,then I will consider answering your question.

LOL, yes, I suppose that you could say that I support it. If a white woman didn't fall in love with a black man, I wouldn't exist.

I understand that some people have issues with interracial marriage and I respect that. For me, that type of thinking is foreign but then so are a lot of concepts. I can understand how a person would find a person who looks similar to them more attractive than someone who is quite different. From experience, I can understand how a person can be shunned by family, friends and the community for being with a person of a different race. Interracial couples need to be extra committed because they will have some built-in obstacles.

As to why I support it (other than my parents were mixed), it is because I was raised in a family that was probably a bit different than the average family. Since we have skin colors that range from paper-white to coal-black, skin color was never important. I know that many other people find it an interesting subject and like to talk about it but in my family, it just isn't relevant to anything other than the likelihood of getting a sunburn. To me, it is similar to talking about the color of a person's eyes or hair.

It isn't something that I think about much (except when others bring it up). The first interracial marriage in my family that I've traced in the US was in 1740 and my family has been marrying blacks, whites, native americans and other mulattoes ever since. I grew up in a large community of mulattoes. It really isn't a big deal.

At least you almost acknowledge that tolerance is merely putting up with something you hate. Some people try to pretend that tolerance is a good thing. It even has a nice fluffy dictionary definition. But in reality it all comes down to putting up with something. I can't agree that any parent should be teaching hate. Sorry, but that's the bottom line.

People who treat us as "wrong" and "different" -- by disapproving of us you've already made that clear -- only extend a hate that should have died out long ago. Try to see past a little skin contrast. You might see a couple in love. Or loving parents and their happy children. I can promise you we're really no different from you, except that we don't teach our kids just to "tolerate" others.

Yes, I tolerate it.

It's not 'wrong' in my opinion.

Can you tell me what's so *wrong* about it?

They're all PEOPLE and should all be treated as such. By disapproving of interracial relationships you are being racist. And so you do not love everyone equally because you feel as though other races are, what, not worthy of being dated?

Edit:

To the answerer above me: Are you implying that other races are different species? But you're agreeing with what was always said to you, no? Thereby admitting that you believe that races are of different species?

I believe that one does not "choose" who they fall in love with. Love is blind. I would hate for one of your kids to grow up...go to college and fall in love with a very lovely girl...only for you to tell them No because of their race.

You may not be racist..but it sure comes off that way. Yes, raising children who are mixed can be more difficult than raising one that's not. But it isn't wrong in any way shape or form. People will do what they want and hopefully follow their hearts.

Maybe if you actually get to know them.. you will look past their skin color..like you should be doing already. Toleration of all colors should be taught... but the 'wrong' thing.. Maybe in your eyes but they need to develope their own morals.

I've never understood why people like you think interacial relationships are wrong. Do you have some sort of ethnocentric or xenophobic view that causes you to fear other races outnumbering or interbreeding with your own? Were you traumatized by a negative experience involving someone of a different race? Enlighten me.

Personally, I find that attraction and love is basically color blind. Sexy is sexy and a good match is a good match regardless of race.

If your family from way back when all had brown eyes and you'd been raised to believe that those with blue eyes were inferior and your bloodline would be tainted if you ever married one, you'd feel the same way about intercourse with a blue-eyed person.

The color of one's skin is caused by genetics, the same thing that causes the color of one's hair or eyes, as well as thousands of other inherited traits. If nature (God if you prefer) did not intend for the races to mix they would not be able to produce offspring, yet we do. This fact alone proves that, not only is it acceptable, but that it is meant to be.

You say you love everyone, but you are lying to yourself. You look down on those who are different for no true reason other that that's what you've always been told. That is not love. That is discrimination born of unjust hate and fear. I can't blame you, that's how you were raised to think, but I do pity you for that same reason.

Some other tall tales: Never marry outside of your religion (they're all going to hell), or anyone of Irish descent (they're all drunks), or Russian descent (commies & spies), or French (promiscuous), or Belgian (their all thieves), with green eyes (a witch), with red hair (marked by the devil), with blond hair (they're all dumb), with epilepsy (possessed), and any other number of ridiculous nonsense.

So, do I support it? Yes, I do.

I believe that God created us all to be equal, but there is no biblical reference saying to be selective, but I think that interracial marriages that brought on by intercourse may have problems in the future. I only say that because there are many cultural differences between whites and blacks and it would wind up interfering with the relationship. However, if your kids think that it is the absolute person that they want to be with, and God has led the two together, then I think that there is no problem, but I personally would avoid interracial dating. Hope this helps :)

I support it because we are all humans. Race is just a mere illusion created to separate people. People may look different on the outside, but we all have the same anatomy, it's just the different environments we are all exposed to that make us look different.

So what you are saying is, it is wrong for a french person to marry an english person, or wrong for a chinese person to marry a filipino person, or wrong for a mexican to marry a puerto rican.

but when it comes down to it, i would like to know why YOU think it's wrong in the Best Answer, what is your reasoning as to why it's wrong.

people like to mix with people who seem to have the most in common with them in terms of personality and identity

there is nothing wrong with wanting to marry within your own race. However, there is nothing wrong with interracial marriage, as long as the 2 people in it are happy.

You love everyone, but you don't approve the mixing of different "races"? There's only one race, the human race. If i cut everyone open, we would all bleed the same colored blood. I'm not surprised you're ignorant considering you spelled "course" wrong!
