Racism

[Jitters]

Let me just start this by saying that I am completely opposed to racism and discrimination of any kind.

I recently met this girl who I believe is black but might have some white in her since she is very light skinned. She is smart, nice and great to talk to, so naturally over time I've started to like her.

My father told me once that "If I ever brought home a black girl he will kick me out of the house."

Since my family wouldn't care if I dated(for example) a spanish or asian girl this makes them racist against black people and it really upsets me. If I started to truly care and love a girl why should her skin color matter?

This brings me to my point.

What I wanted to know is how you all feel about interacial dating and if you could share any experiences you have had with it and or racism.

i went out with a korean chick. she was a total nymph. TOTAL. she was only 4'11 yet she loved being fisted and fucked very hard in the butt.

go figure.

[Jitters]

Ummmmmm.... not really the response I was looking for but okay

[mikizee]

if u like the girl, then go for it!!!! its not your problem, its your dad's. and he will just have to deal with his bigotry.

when i was with the korean chick we got lots of weird looks. maybe thats cos in australia interratial dating is far more rare. mainly cuz most of us are white. my parents were glad when we broke up, my mum said 'i didnt want any asian grandchildren'.

My parents aren't bothered about interacial dating, and years ago my mum told me she reckoned I would end up marrying a non-white person. It doesn't bother them or me at all. In terms of racism, I remember once when I was about 11 being holiday and made friends with this girl of a similar age and we were swimming in the hotel pool and then she asked me if I wanted to go and beat up the 'paki' on the other side of the pool. I looked at where she was pointing and she was pointing at my brother. My mum is spanish so we all go quite dark skinned in the sun. All I remember doing is saying 'that's my brother', splashing her in the face and swimming off.

u shoulda drowned the gay racist

I've been on the other end of a couple of those...:(

Still I say go head first. If you like each other, do it.

my last girlfriend was Jewish and I dreaded bringing her around my grandfather cuz he'd always manage to work in some fucking biggot type remark about Jews. And only when she was around.

It was fucking ridiculous.

i used to go out with a girl from Finland who was of caucasian decent. i mean like the caucasus area eg Georgia, chechnya etc so she was fairly dark. anyway my parents didn't mind, but my dad said never bring her to grandad's house coz he's go a bit nuts. but he lives 1000km's away and is a deadshit so i never had the problem of him meeting her

If you love your father and aren't willing to stand up to him/deal with the reprocussions of him being a stubborn ass, DON'T DO IT.

My experience is pretty well-known by the people who have been here a while; I dated a Jew for 5 years and was deeply in love with him. His father didn't approve of me, and said he'd disown him if he married me or whatever...I wasn't allowed in their house when his father was there, my boyfriend always snuck around behind his back to be with me, I hid around the corner of his house until his parents were gone to see him - really crappy stuff that made ME feel terrible, but it was worth it because I loved him so much.

I always thought he'd have the balls to tell his dad that he loved me and wanted to be with me, but his grandfather went into the hospital in January and when he was there, he realized that he needed a girlfriend who could support him and be with him AND his family. I could support him and be there for him all the time - just not when he was around his family. It killed him (or so he told me), but he had to break up with me. It was choosing between the girl he loved, and the only family he's ever known.

It was REALLY shitty of his father to do that to him, and I feel bad for him in a way - he's always going to have to deal with a racist father. And yes, it IS racist because he wouldn't accept me if I had converted, which his RABBI told me was against Jewish law...so it was more of a race thing rather than a religious thing. His father once asked him how he would like it if "he had a daughter who brought home a black man." I guess his father never knew that it wouldn't bother my ex-boyfriend...he had made out with a black chick only a few years earlier.

ANYWAYS - if your father is set in his ways and unwilling to see things any differently and you're not willing to stand up to him (for ANY girl), just say no.

I've started to take a real liking to her and I'm pretty sure she likes me back.

My sister is engaged to a mostly Native American man and my dad threatened to throw her out back when they started dating but now doesn't seem to have a problem with it, he's a nice guy so I never saw the problem with my sister dating him.

I live in the south and as much as I hate to stereotype I really think old people down here are racist. My grandmother is and isn't afraid to say it, she's terrible, she puts all people of other races in a group and judges them based on color. My dad is 45 now and grew up in a time where it was "okay" to be racist. I'm guessing he never had that much contact with people of other races but when I was growing up I didn't really have any white friends, most of them were black so I never got the "racist syndrome" that so many people have.

I learned today that she is half spanish and half black. The thing that really bugs me is that if she was completely spanish it wouldn't bother my family, they just don't want me with anyone of African descent(n)

Oh yeah, thanks for listening and giving feedback everybody, I know it's kind of my rant thread but it's making me feel better so thanks :)

I'm Mexican. My girlfriend is white. Never had any problems with family, thankfully.

[The Notorious LOL]

maybe hes one of those Al Jolson racists that doesnt realize the error in his ways. Just be like "lol"

[vickista]

my mum says that to me all the time, kinda. she says she doesn't really care who i married but she would 'PREFER' a greek guy, so that i could pass on the greek language etc. onto my kids.

I dont mind black girls at all. In fact the last chick at my apartment was black:rolleyes:

They all seem to wear the same perfume, which i HATE smelling!!! It smells like it should be used by their grandma.

Other than that, I LOVE black women
