Interracial dating has been around for many, many years & you would think after all the years that have passed that people wouldn't be so bitter about interracial dating, right!? ...WRONG!! Interracial marriage was made legal in the United States in the 1960's so why in the hell is it still a problem with some (ignorant) people??? Why can't a black woman/man date a White, Asian, Mexican, or even an Indian man/woman? Or why can't a white woman/man do them same? WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? Why is race such an issue when it comes to dating? Damn, it's like people want to stone people for dating outside of their race... grow up!
I believe people should be able to date whatever race they want, if the person they are with makes them happy (regardless of their color), then do what you do!!! What do y'all think???

ReplyDeleteI part closely with this issue. To this day... A lot of minority races have that mentality of " sticking to your own kind".
ReplyDeleteWhat is race? Some believe it is WHO you are and where you come from. Which we are all told by our elders to never forget. A person's race holds the history and struggles their ancestors have gone through to become one of its own. Others may believe there is one race. The " human race". And these labels, are just a form of segregation.
Growing up in a moderately traditional Hindu household I was raised to believe that being with somebody of my own religion and race was the only option I had. If not, I would very well be disowned by the family. When I've asked people of the older generations in my family why... I'm told that somebody of my own religion and race will understand me better. Our upbringings/morals will be similar. We will understand our customs and traditions and give that to the next generation. From what I understand staying within your race and religion is an attempt to conserve the race and keep it from becoming extinct.
Personally, being exposed to life here in a city of a diverse population I cannot agree. Just because a man/woman is of the same race and religion DOES NOT PROVE that he/she will keep you happy, will love you and will support you. What is more important? Conserving your race or your love and happiness? That's a decision one has to make for themselves.
