what do you think of mixed race marriages?

I think it is good to see people commit to a marriage, it really doesn't matter what race or color. When it comes down to it, we all came from the same place-right? If you are really in live with your mate, then marriage is honorable. After all, you won't be spending the rest of your life with dear old mom and dad, so you've got to follow your heart on this issue.

Yes, I believe if two people are in love, they should be able to wed. If they want to make that kind of a commitment and are that secure in their relationship, which I doubt I will EVER be that secure, let them have at it!! I do have a problem with them raising kids though. And I would hate to see a divorce between 2 gay men. That would be one hell of a cat fight!! I think a lot of people are coming around to this point of view since a lot of states have legalized same sex marriages. It was a very good thing indeed!! Thank you for asking!!

If marrying outside your race was wrong, then Abraham, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, Esther, Samson to name the majors would all be found guilty. God so loved the "world" that He gave His only Son. It didn't say God so loved the whites only, the chinese only, or what have you. God created blacks and other nationalities in His image and likeness and God said it was good. It's not the color of your skin you should be concerned with, it's the contents and issues in your heart coming out of your mouth. So we might as well get over any inner racist feelings that are rooted down in there because you will have a big problem in God's kingdom where there are multicultures and mixed babies and people all in Christ, made in His image.

there's nothing wrong with interracial relationships... if people don't like it..tough... just remember the culture and religion are issues among people...and remember to just ignore the people that stare... people only hate what they don't understand... remember that... people got to learn that the worlds changing... they need to learn to accept that there are going to be gay marriages and interracial marriages

To some families race is important.  If you read the bible, you will see why some families believe that races should not mix.  He is not the one with the problem.  It seems to be his family.  If he is not strong enough to break it to his family...he is not strong enough to be in an interracial relationship.

I think intercultural relationships have pros and cons.  One big pro being the excitingness of the situation..two different people from different worlds and backgrounds...sharing new ideas and experiences which add spark and makes things new fresh and interesting!  On the flip side... especially when things may turn serious in the long run, ie marriage...marriage in itself is hard enough, add to that two conflicting cultures...makes for alot of different viewpoints and colorful arguements (speaking from experience here!)  On the other hand...personalties play a big part...regardless of culture, religion, or any other difference, if both parties are mature and both personalities compliment each other...I think the success rate is high and this last is probably the best recipe for a lasting and exciting relationship.

Not any more or less than interracial marriage has

Nope not at all.  As long as the couple is good together and happy w/ each other it shouldn't matter what colour their skin tone is.  I'm completely happy with my other half and he is black/ puerto rican.  If I would have stuck to 'my own kind' as people have phrased it I wouldn't have gotten with and fell in love with my bf.  And that would have been my loss.  When you limit yourself to just your own race you risk potentionally missing out on alot of good people and possibly love too.

I don't think having multiple ethnicity is at all a problem. People nowadays have mixed racial origins. No one is every racially pure. The problem is that we still have racism plaguing our society. There is no racial superiority or anything. No race is above another. None is more or less superior than the other. I think having an Asian-African American child is acceptable. There is no reason why it shouldn't be. I would love to see an individual with such a wonderful blend of ethnicity. Having such a person brought to this world would make it more interesting and for some reason, he/she might even help people of different races love and accept one another. For the parents of such a child, I say 'thank you' for adding to the world's diversity of people and for not making something as little as racial differences get in the way of a good relationship.

I understand your dilemma; however I thinks cultural differences are good for a marriage.  I am African American and my husband is of Yemen descent.  He was raised in Tanzania.  I think he has chosen to follow his heart and look at people for people.  We sit and create our own world and not let family, culture or society dictate the love we have for one another.  I love him with all my heart and despite the approval of my mother and sister, because of his Arab background.  He stands by me and I will for him. If you stop looking at her as a Hungarian and start looking at her as the women Allah gave you; then everything will work itself out.

I think it is an age and time thing.  Remember years before us, the people didn't like Indians marrying their white women.  Now no one cares if they have Indian in them or not.  I got Cherokee in me and am proud of it.  Course I'm blonde/blue eyed too so no one really sees that part of me.  As for the black and white dating, I think it is the same thing, people from in the 40's, 50's and 60's especially in the South, are so against it but you have to remember where they came from too.  Some had slaves way back.  It's a part of history we can not change.  But, we can go forward and make changes, which is happening, little by little.  Out west you see different races dating everywhere.  It's just a matter of time before it is not a big issue down south.  I do not have a problem with people dating different races, black, white, mexican, chinese, Indians, etc...It's what's in the heart/soul that counts anyway, not the color of your skin.  There are good and bad in all races not just a certain one.  You do have to give the black race credit, they have come a long long way in a short period of time.  Look at the Indians, they  are still poor poor people and many didn't go to school or finish school.  You don't see many in the American workforce do you?  We can't go back and change all the wrong things that happened to all the races and who caused what, but, we all can make a differnce now and love everyone as a person not a race.  Be proud of who you are, be proud of your race, but don't push it on anyone else.  Sorry this was so long.  BTW, I am a white 'older' generation speaking out (52 yrs old)  :)

My hippie, liberal,peace loving, tree hugging, new age, pagan, mystic, self  has been happily married for 26 years to a conservative, Christian, Hawk, Policeman, rationalist etc.\nWe do well together, makes for some interesting conversations.\n\nMy first spouse shared my politics and religion but the marriage was hell. Nope  mixed marriages in that sense are not inheirantly more prone to failure.

I think it's natural we are attracted by people who are different from ourselves. \nYou're not a hypocrite!!! Not at all. Many of us find other races attractive but only some of us are ready to talk about it directly. Those who hide the truth are hypocrites. The problem is that former generations rarely allowed the couples to mix. I think it was the matter of identity and fear of being judged by other people.  \nFortunately, world has changed now and people have changed as well. We are used to a view of 'mixed pairs' and I love the view! I dream I will also be in such relationship someday...

I think that we as humans should be indifferent to race. If you find true love with a person you should be able to look past their skin color and just be with that person.

Some people interpret parts of the Bible to mean that 1 race shouldn't marry into another. Whether that is true or not,there are some social implications to such course of actions. Dependent on how enlightened or not the society is in which they live,that couple could live happily or miserably ever after, there could also be some medical and physial complications for the offsprings.Then there's the obvious cultural adjustments each of them may have to make.
