Interracial relationships
Interracial relationships are viewed as a positive step towards smoother race relations by some; as "sellout" behavior and a denial of racial heritage by others.

The couples interviewed for this subject had much to consider before taking the plunge.
They were often wary, and sometimes frightened, but ultimately they said their life decisions were dictated by the simplest, strongest reality.

Title: Interracial Couples Carve Out New Identities for Themselves

"As I explained to my family, this is the woman I love, who just happens to be white," said a black husband.
"What we do is for us--not for what other people judge us by."

marriages are more of a problem for those that see the negative side of culture and religion joining up.
We all have something to offer.
It works if two people really love each other. It stands the same chance, (I think), as those that are from the same culture/religion.
It's hard work to make any relationship work but if you truly are IN LOVE, it works.
I will hoist that up the flag pole and see who salutes it!!
my parents are in an interracial relationship, and so as i am presently in too. its way more complicated than that of the same race for obvious reasons. takes a lot of hard work and sacrifice coz of what people say. i just like to commend that brilliant quotation, "What we do is for us--not for what other people judge us by.".

"Times are a changin"... ALL OVER THE WORLD..
Racism is part and parcel of daily life everywhere.. It would be very naive of us to say otherwise. It is more cultural than religious..
However, looking back at the past two decases, I can see the changes that have come about. Inter racial relationships are becoming commonplace and more acceptable..
I am sure that the same will happen here..

THANKS, britex, for reminding the original subject

lol Brit you are so observant...

HE WHO DARES WINS
Methinks that as your biological clock ticks down, your inner feelings are begining to surface..:)
The original posting did not mention "marriage" , just relationships..
else's partner has? To me, it's like sexual orientation or anything else -- it's their private business so nobody else's opinion or voice really matters.
I have two sisters that are biracial. I have dated black men (I am white). And like PM, I grew up in the south of the US. My sisters would catch a lot of crap from people, and I know that must have been tough for them, but they survived.
I have to say, though, that I was completely flabbergasted when I discovered how racist people are here. I guess I just assumed that the whole "brotherhood of Islam' stuff was the bottom line. And it's not. Here in Qatar at least, culture is a lot stronger than religion in many things, and race is one of them. My (white) Qatari friends would never allow their sisters to marry a black Qatari -- which I find amazing. One friend has a brother who was basically cut off from the family when it was found out he had married a black Qatari divorcee. I mean, she's Muslim, she's Qatari -- not sure really if the main complaint was because she was black, a divorcee, or because his mom didn't get to choose his wife. But how bizarre and sad is that??
I have another Qatari friend whose father had a black slave woman (a concubine basically) that he shared with his brother up until about 20-30 years ago -- and he fathered a child by her, eventually married her and gave the child his name.

I think interracial marriages are wrong and against God. Everyone who "mixes their race" should burn in Hell.

AshwinDork! what are you going on about here? why are you forcing her to choose? Black male/white female or Black female/white male does it make any difference? they are both termed as interracial relationships. Ok option 3 Brown Male with White female :P

Coming from a very mixed family now, I must admit I found it very difficult to find any difference in the photos because I was not looking for anything.
Ash,we speak on our tongue, we speak on our mind but we choose on our heart with the Help of our philosophical knowledge through our Mind....... then tell me now if you dont used it!!!
Why I need to choose wherein there's only two choices and I don't want to pick any....

You can't have a light without a dark to stick it in!
I'm lost..
Why is 1 more acceptable than 2 ?? Our personal perceptions suppose..
Drac does it really matter if He's black and she's white or vice versa? I'm all for any sorta relationship as long as the two people have mutual understanding and respect for each other. I always say life is too short to live it according to what people's expectations are. This your your ONLY life to live make the best of it.
Now for my joke: I'm all for these Salt and Pepper relationships coz they make "chocolate" offspring's
hmmmm ok perhaps i could have re-phrased that better oh well kiss my furry Kat bum!

Overall, Americans are probably the least racist of the peoples I have met - apart from scandanavians.
Having said that, I have worked and lived with a few racist Americans in my time. Perhaps the areas/people you lived in were more accepting and educated.
Religion is only No1 to those who are religious.
Culture becomes an issue in closeknit societies / families.
Attitudes will always be in there somewhere..
It's strange really. Growing up in the 60s I was friends with a Pakistani boy. The only one in our town. Nobody really thought anything of it.
Then the first Black woman turned up with a white husband. She was a great woman to get on with (I used to help the milkman so I knew everyone!). Her daughter is a stunning mocca. Wonder where she is now? :o)

"What we do is for us--not for what other people judge us by."
Over the years I have known many inter racial relationships and couples. The above is becoming more valid now , then a few years ago.
Love is what brings us together and binds us. However, other factors such as religion, culture, family, beliefs, attitudes can have a major affect on the relationship.
I believe that interracial relationships will continue to bcome more acceptable, but may never become the norm.
.

LET'S SEE:
# ISSUE No.1 = RELIGION
.
.
You can't have a light without a dark to stick it in!
I think that the main issue could be about religion.
Drac, you've got me all wrong on this one. I'm all for the great big melting pot. Stick in all the people, stir it around a bit and out pops a new person of indiscrimate race, creed, culture, that everyone else can get along with. No more racism. Every one can only call each other the same - "hey you, muddy!"

geez, baldrick...c'mmon ..:)
