Am I a racist because I don't support interracial relationships?

[Anonymous]

I'm black and I don't agree with dating/marrying outside of your race. I've met a lot of half black kids. They're always confused and don't know what they are. Or they wish they were just white. Not a single half bread I've met is proud of their mix. They only want to be black when it's convenient for them.

Black people don't marry outside their outside race because of love. They marry/breed outside their race because they hate being black. They're in love with what the white man/woman represents. Not the person itself.

I'm not saying that all black people have to think like me and marry their own. Everybody has their own opinion. But when I see most of the black population openly admitting they hate their own, and want anyone none-black that's a serious problem. Have you ever noticed a black man has success and wants a white woman on his elbow?

It's a healthier marriage when you marry someone of your own race. I means who's better for an Indian man than a Indian woman? Who's better for Latino man than a Latina? And all the other races.

U marry outside your race it will eventually be a problem in the marriage. Each individual race have their own struggles, and think they have it the worst. Which makes us ignorant to struggles of other races.

For example, you marry a white and u vent black problems to them. Your white spouse most likely won't understand. You can be Black marry a white. He/she will have white race struggles that bother them and you wouldn't understand.

It's just better in the end to stick with your own. As u can see blacks are about to be extinct soon. I have nothing against people who are mixed race. But I don't wanna live in a world were everybody looks Mexican!

Does this make me racist?

Am I Racist?

Not Racist?

I don't understand people who don't support interracial relationships. EVERY HUMAN can be traced back to two, alrighty?
With our cultural background, skin color, eye color, hair color, when it comes down to who we are as people, its not those physical qualities that make us who we are.
Interracial relationships are more diverse, you shouldn't marry a person for their skin color, but who they are.
I especially support a relationship with people from different countries/cultural backgrounds, you're sharing your culture and teaching each other about your different upbringings, its a beautiful thing.
Forcing people to stay with their same race will only cause a separation in human beings, it will cause a hatred towards races, if we all ignore our physical appearance or where we come from, we would get along better, maybe wars would be less of a threat
So yes, I think you're racist.

[Svengodofman]

See, the issue with marriages from backgrounds which are two different can still be problematic. Pairing black, white, and Asian Americans is different than taking a man from Northern Sweden, and pairing him with a woman from the African bush. Culture clash is a very real thing. That's why people get culture shock when they are in new countries. This is coming from me, a guy with black, Asian, and Lebanese cousins. The reason my family works is that we're all still Canadians, and share the same overarching culture, despite small differences.

[JiminsHoe]

So what? There's pro and cons to everything in life?
Separating people by race will cause clashing.
If we all adapt to being open to new cultures and new people, there won't be a clash.
People need to stop being afraid of change and get out of their comfort zone.

[Svengodofman]

Yea, and I agree. But the issue is the idealism required for that to work. Unfortunately, not everyone in the world wants to be our friends. It doesn't matter what people should do, what matters is their actions. Sadly, these actions are usually distrust, and callousness across the board. Every human being on the planet has a terrible ancestor or two, and their descendants will be just as terrible. The nature of Humanity is chaos, and nothing will ever change that.

[lawstudent931]

I'm mixed and proud, I equally love both of my backgrounds, and haven't ever had issues. Because of me being mixed, I can speak multiple languages as well. There hasn't ever been big marital issues or anything between my parents, they're very open minded and incredible people. I wouldn't say you're racist, but that you're stereotyping all mixed people due to your own unique experiences.

[Rissyanne]

You have the right to your opinion. But in the end... it is their choice who to be with.
I dont think you are racist. I will tell you I have been called racist because I dont date outside my race. But that is my preference.

[Asker]

You're the only person with sense who's commented

[ElissaDido]

Most people tend to gravitate around their own race anyways. No race will go instinct smh...
Anyways, I don't support interracial marriage but I'm not against them either. I won't encourage it nor discourage it.

[TripleAce]

But you are against it for you, so that means you are against it. The diplomatic projections towards others is not so relevant when you yourself are against it

[ElissaDido]

@TripleAce I'm not against it :P !

[TripleAce]

For you? lol

[ElissaDido]

@TripleAce Yeah I'm open to it :P

[TripleAce]

That's refreshing, I'm sure the world would love to share your culture and views with you

[JDavid25]

Well... I wouldn't say that you are racist... Ignorant yes.. But I don't know your motives so I can't say if you're racist.. But, onto other things.. "Race" is a social construct.. All we are all just selective breeding in different environments, and melanin more or less.. There's no different genetics between groups.. So, I cannot share your sentiment.. Technically I don't even wanna say the term "interracial".. But, it's almost not possible for it not to be said.. In the end it's culture that makes us the most different.. And too much emphasis on the "Importance" of this make believe barrier we call race.. In a world full of people who claim they want to be progressive.. I'm really disappointed..

[Jan1ssary_]

I don't support it too bruh..

[Cosytoasty]

You last line makes you racist.

The crux of your argument makes it seem like there are some insurmountable struggles based on race, this isn't true. Nobody in the west is oppressed to the point they can't get up and do something about it, spend a day in Aleppo and you'll find out what real struggle is.

[lawstudent931]

Well said.

[Asker]

"Nobody in the west is oppressed to the point they can't get up and do something about it" is what u saying? If that's the case why are innocent black men being executed my cops on a daily basis? and why does It keep getting worse?

Blacks are protesting all the time and thats not helping a thing. U clearly don't know what you're talking about, and don't understand black struggles. Again, another comment that proves people need to stick with their own race!

[Cosytoasty]

I'm not ignorant to struggles, I'm saying they are not insurmountable.

It's funny, in London, black people are not executed by police, in fact many of them work as stock brokers and fashion designers, I personally know 4 who are childhood friends. I know exactly what types of struggles they grew up with, but they overcame them. If they can do it, so can any other black person who tries.

The only person self-hating here is you buddy. You've somehow managed to spin that into a racist rant, which is sad.

[Asker]

I don't care about England this is America

[Zazzz]

I personally find mixed race sexier in general. It is also a proven fact that mixed race have advantages when it comes to health issues. You're just worried that the black population vanishes that's all that's about. No it won't happen and it's fine to make mixed babies they are the cutest.

[Asker]

If every black person makes the extra effort to breed out the black population, then yes we will vanish. Which is exactly what their all doing!

[Zazzz]

We are talking about every single black person breeding out but same would go for any other race. The possibility of that happening is near zero and if that would happen that means technically every black person would mix with another race and that race would be affected too and we would just end up with a entirely knew race. For the sake of argument if that would happen according to this demographic it would place latinos in the most dangerous position and the white and blacks to about same.

Sorry i couldn't upload the link i have to be a xper 2. Hahaha! But anyway you get what i mean.

[raychulj]

Most children have identity and self esteem issues at some point regardless of race. Yes you are racist and your reasons for your opinion are ridiculous. They are doing nothing but elevating hatred. The "stick to your own" mentality is very harmful and hurtful.

[Asker]

I'm sorry I offended you that really wasn't my intention

[raychulj]

You asked if your opinion was racist or not, and I answered. Whether or not I'm offended should be the least of your concerns. I'd be taking a really deep look at myself. I actually do on a regular basis. We all suffer from cognitive dissonance in some area of our lives.

[ADFSDF1996]

It depends, if you force those beliefs onto others, then you are a bigot. If you want to stick to your own; then go ahead, nobody is stopping you. There is nothing wrong with that because it's your preference. Just don't go around telling people who date because humans have the right to date whoever they want regardless of race. I'm part Japanese and part Mexican, I don't need anyone telling me who to date. I don't care who dates who.

[Anonymous]

Yawn. This again. I've never seen a half black person be confused about being half black. If anything people like you are, because it's only people like you who mention any confusion. It's not hard to understand being 2 races.
There's so much to say about everything you wrote, but you're backwards, so I won't even bother, you won't understand. I mean, you're confused about mixed kids, so... ya know...

[Asker]

You won't even bother? U still took the time to comment!

[Izumiblu]

i wouldn't say that makes you a racist, i would say you have no business telling other people what they should do, but if you believe that marrying a black woman is the only right thing for you then i say you should stick by your ideals.

[brycakes]

I don't agree with you, only because it seems that you're generalizing, but I wouldn't say that your way of thinking is "racist".

[TripleAce]

I think that type of ideology fuels and perpetuates racism

[Asker]

The racism is there regardless

[TripleAce]

What I'm saying is - it's throwing gas on the fire

[Asker]

racism will get worse no matter what I do or how I think

[Blitzkrieger]

not its not racist, its ethnocentric. everybody is entitled to their own beliefs. it would only be problematic if you would force what you believe upon other people but i dont think you would do that. you sound like a reasonable person.

[ASEXY]

No, but you would be a racist if you are against it.

[AdamThomas]

Whether it is or not, does it change your opinion at all?

[JCT666]

Well, according to society, black people can't be racist, so... there's your answer I guess.

[Asker]

Your comment just proved my point. People are ignorant to other races and their struggles. Reading your comment shows exactly why you should not marry anyone but a white, or whatever you are!

[Roll_Tide_Roll]

Depends on the IR relationship. Some deserve to be praised and some deserve to be pistol whipped out of existence.

[tayoker]

we meant to be different to know how to live together not to isolate ourselves.

[Anonymous]

Blacks are soon to be extinct? You dont want the world to look Mexican? You sound like Ben Carson.

[reixun]

I disagree with your reasoning and your conclusion

[ShaeNielson]

You're ridiculous at best.

[dev765]

It sounds like you're the one that's confused.

[Asker]

I'm confused? How? Just because I want a woman who understands my struggle?

[dev765]

More like with your assumptions and generalizations.

[BruceTrails]

I guess its just your opinion.

[Dred1614returns]

Not racist.
