Who has been in a interracial relationship/has considered it?

I am going to have to agree.
Black men always ask me "Why you ain't with a brother who can treat you right?"

And black women just assume I'm with him cause he's "rich" or "I haven't found a good black man"

It's like... As Jessica Rabbit put it when asked about why she loves Roger "He makes me laugh.""

As long as you two are happy.

HUGS for everyone!

Wow, that's just sad, I'm sorry. That your stepdad is such a racist that he'd rather you be with someone convicted of rape (and therefore possibly putting you in danger) than someone who is kind and caring, yet happens to be half African-American.

I can't believe that people are capable of feeling/saying things like that. I know that I will never say such things to my future children. I'd rather them be with someone they love and that will treat them right (regardless of color/religion/etc) than telling them that pretty much:

"Oh, I'd rather you be possibly raped by a convicted rapist boyfriend, than someone who is [fill in the blank] and will respect you. Because, you know, I'd rather you be possibly in danger and physically, mentally, and emotionally damaged so I can keep up appearances, than for word to get out that my daughter is with someone different."

..... Yeah, lol, you can tell that that kind of stuff doesn't sit well with me, lol but at least you found a good person to be with and didn't listen to your stepdad's foolishness

I know that even though Synthetik and I are just about as white as you can get (though I have a bit of Native American in my lineage, you couldn't ever tell from how I look and how I get sunburned, unfortunately like I am now, lol) I know that my dad's side of the family would flip their lids because:

1) I didn't find a "good ol' southern boy", seeing as Synthetik is from New Jersey, though moved down here at 4 years old.

2) Because of all of his tattoos and piercings. According to them, he'd be considered a freak. Here's an older picture of him when he had most of his facial piercings in:



Though he's taken most of those piercings out ever since he got a manager position, they'd still not like him for it

3) Because he, like me, is Wiccan. My dad's side of the family is not tolerant of other religions and I actually had to keep my religion secret while I lived there. To them, pretty much any other religion that isn't Christianity is "devil-worship" (don't get me wrong, I have no issues with anyone of any religion, as long as they're good people. But, I know for a fact that side of my family is not good people, or Christians)

*Sniff* *Ah.... Don't you just hate the smell of discrimination in the morning*?

(And I mean discrimination of all forms, whether it be towards a faith/race/nationality /sexuality/or just anything else)

/End of Text Wall, lol

Never been in one, so I have to go with other.

Your response made me smirk. I needed a good smirk today.

Ya, spitting on someone just... seems SO disrespectful.

I was in shock, honestly.

Been there done that. My parents were bad about it at first then backed off. His parents were totally cool.

It is depressing. I would think happiness would be all that mattered... not what color skin they have.
Most everyone assumes i'm with him cause he makes good money because he's white... blah.

I was in an interracial relationship and now have a biracial son. My son is beautiful, with hair, curls, and skin models pay large amounts of money for.

That kind of behaviour is fucking disgusting! I hate hate hate closed minded people. I dated a black guy named Echer for about 5 months during high school and he was a great guy. The only person that ever said anything racist or judgemental about our relationship was my dad. I have since forgiven him. He's 76 right now and comes from a completely different generation than us. I was still pretty pissed at the time though.
