Tennessee may be a race of its own! :D :D :D

In Tennessee, it's not so much about dating outside of one's race as it is dating outside one's species.

Digging this thread up from a little while ago, but a recent conversation made me think about it.

 

There were some posts that pointed out that bi-racial children could possibly encounter problems due to that fact sometime in thier life. I'm wondering if possibly that could be overstated due to the growing amount of bi-racial children in some areas of the United States. My bi-racial son happens to go do a day care in Lexington, and inside the infant/toddler room, he is one of 6 bi-racial children. Maybe it's just our area and maybe it's just coincidence, but I have a feeling that this will soon become the norm many places around the country.

I don't know that it's becoming more accepted, but it's just that people realize it's going to happen in Today's world...There are still people to this day that when Im with my mom (who is white), they will give us looks and stare us down. Of course this is mostly older people, but nevertheless, it isn't right.

 

OH, I'm sure when the TV crew points out Andre Woodson's mom in the stands, many are saying "which one ? I don't see her."

Love is not a color, it's an emotion, feeling and passion for another person. I hope someday, we can get by the topic of color, when describing someone or justifying our reasons for being with them.

 

Opinions from others, shouldn't decide your choices.

I think what you're saying is partially true. There are so many bi/multi-racial children today, that they're readily accepted by the public. The one place I still see problems (hopefully not for your son), is within families. Some people still have difficulties accepting other races into their family. Sometimes, the child pays for this on both sides of the family. They're tolerated instead of loved.

I actually seem to be more attracted to those outside my own race, as evidenced by Ms. UKPat.

I couldn't care less what color someone is, what kind of person they are is what matters to me.

Don't bother me one bit what the color of their skin is, now the body type(shape),... well that's a little bit of a different story.:devil:

My grandson is from a bi-racial couple. I couldn't care less what color his mother is. As a matter of fact I told her the other day that I'm so glad that my son has found someone who cares and loves him as much as she does. That is all that matters.

 

They aren't married but I told her the other day that I consider her as my daughter. If anyone makes any trouble for her they will have to deal with me. That includes my family also.

If the girl is hot, I don't care if she is green.

 

Capt Kirk dated a girl that was blue, maybe he was a UK fan.

Dating outside your race is ok with me, the two that choose to live of different culture, race, will of course deal with ignorance of others, my nephew lives with a girl of a different race, and they have a baby, I wouldn't trade the child for the world.

If the couple is happy with each other then that's all that really matters. Otherwise you may miss out on a very nice, bright and great person if you judge them on race.

I think bi-racial children (black/white) have more problems with racial acceptance. They're often shunned by both Blacks and Whites.

 

And that's really a shame, it's who the person is inside not the color of their skin. Sad to say but most people look at it that way.

My dad was raised the old school ways, whites should date only white, and vice versa.

If she cooks, cleans, does the laundry, brings me my beers, and is hot, she would be the perfect woman regardless of race.:sssh:
