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

nope

Agreed. Race is a purely social construct, there is nothing "biological" about it whatsoever. I am of Mexican descent and if a blind person met me they would have no idea what my ethnic heritage was. These differences we ascribe to someone's "race" are due to CULTURE and society.

So much ditto to this.

Oh, that's so sad. I'm so sorry to hear that this happened to you.

Good Lord! Where do you live?

I was in two different interracial relationships. I'm not sure I would do it again though. Not really looking for any poly partners right now.

Both of my parents are multiracial/cultural. My mom was black (African-American), Native American (Powhatan), and white (Irish/English). Her parents were biracial. My father is black (Afro-Cuban/African-Am erican), Native American (Huron) and White (French Canadian/Spanish). In their time period, a black person was black, a biracial person was black, a quadroon was black, and so on and so forth. So while I was raised within my plethora of cultures (took Irish step dancing, spent summers with Native American family learning our ways, etc,) and learned Spanish and even Gaelic, my parents raised me to know that no matter how light, bright, and nice I was I'd be black before I was anything else and that I should be absolutely proud of that. And I have been. I understood where they were coming from.

They never had an issue with me dating outside of my race though. Well, my father did, but since he looks like a walking United Nation as does my mother, I told him to shut up. LOL. My first high school boyfriends were white. I wound up going to a predominantly white school in Philly from middle to high school and the five black guys that were there involved or gay. Then I got to college and had one major relationship and it was with a white guy who was completely amazing. But my mom passed away and being 19 and having that happen made me stop and thing about what I wanted for the future. I realized that while I had no problem at all with interracial dating, obviously, but I didn't want my children to be as mixed up as I was. I wanted them to be have a clearer and stronger black identity with a strong black male as their role model. I wanted them to preserve the legacy I loved and identified the most with and wanted my children to embrace it in a way I felt I never could (I mean it's kind of had to be like "black power" when clearly someone else's power is running through your veins LOL). So I made the pledge to only date black guys. I didn't care about where they came from globally speaking, but they had to be black.

Let me tell you how God was like, "Bitch please! You're gonna like who I give you and you're gonna deal with it. I met Cillian one day while at a family function on my maternal grandmother's Irish side. He was a friend of friend of a cousin of mine and we were all in a circle talking about pop culture and there was a connection there right away. We bonded over Dave Matthews and The Roots and he admitted to secretly watching Buffy, my favorite show of all time so we were automatic friends. I fought it in the beginning but he did pursue me relentlessly and I finally caved. Cillian was Irish as they came. I don't think his family has ever procreated with anyone that was not at the very least 95% Irish. LOL And we had two beautiful children together Liam Patrick and Eion-Matthew, and I don't regret it a bit. He passed away before our second son was born, but I'm so glad I got to know him and that I didn't let my idiotic notions keep me from loving him. I was so blessed to have him in my life.

Yeah I noticed.

I have to agree.
He told me his family was scammed by a black guy pretending to be a lawyer when they came to the States. And there's a lot of crime, (black people, a majority)
And I think the culture is frightening.
Not all of us are like that. Most people think I'm a young white woman or something like that, so I know it can be fixed.
As a black woman, I'm cordial to everybody, everywhere. I'm trying to repair damage pace by pace.

I have never been in an interracial dating relationship but I did have sex one afternoon with a black guy I went to high school with. I have also had one purly sexual encounter with a black man a few years ago in my open marriage.
