interracial couples

Recently I’ve been searching out photos on Flickr for Interracial Couples. The one thing that stuck out was HOW happy they were. In my opinion these people had figured it out. They know how to be happy or at least they know that life is too short to be unhappy. These people are a testament that there’s someone for everyone. If you been searching for years and haven’t found someone you can be happy with unless the circumstance are extreme, YOU’RE NOT TRYING HARD ENOUGH! People who are in interracial relationships ARE special because it takes a brave heart,strong mind and a strong stomach ... Read Full Story

As a white woman whose partner is a black man, I wanted to touch briefly on this subject.  I can say that our relationship is well accepted in my family and his, and in the small city where we live.  There was a time, not so long ago, that dating between the races was seen as improper.  Marriage between black and whites was against the law.  Dating was looked down upon by many.  And interracial couples themselves feared how society would treat any children that came of their relationship.   These relationships were criticized with threats, badgering from families (both black and white), and some ...

Some interesting info over at Yahoo Personals in regard to racial preference in dating. Did you know that until 1967, it was illegal in many states to marry outside one's race? Also according to 2006 statistics, there were 530,000 married couples in which the husband was white and the wife was Asian; yet only 174,000 Asian husband/ white wife couples. That'd be no suprise to many. In Australia I'm sure it follows a similar pattern, at least judging by the couples I see on the street. I myself am a product of such a union, so I can vouch that it's totally rockin'. However, ... Read Full Story

Interracial dating – white/black? by Ken Wilson We have a lot to say about the subject of interracial dating. People meet people from other races all the time as there are multi-racial communities in almost every city of the world. This can be seen only as a good thing because it means that racism is not as powerful as it used to be. The question is “what does a person from another race have to offer”? The answer is simple. It does not matter the skin color but the person in particular. We want someone suitable to be with us and most of us ... Read Full Story

The issue of race, for better or worse, has always been important in American society. The idea of interracial couples in American history has, for the most part, met with rejection. "In the United States, it was against the law to marry a black person, and we are still an endogenous society for the most part," sociology Professor Gloria Pimentel said. Laws banning interracial marriage , sex and cohabitation have been termed miscegenation laws or antimiscegenation laws since 1863. Miscegenation comes from the Latin words miscere, "to mix," and genus, "kind." The first laws banning interracial marriages were put in place in the 17th ... Read Full Story
