Why do some people have a problem with interrical dating?

i dont make a big deal for it because i believe that every people with differences should gain respect to others,especially in the skin color they should be know them first before they judge them..try to be friends with them...

I think a lot of people are frightened of anything different, I remember in my younger days i dated a fella with a disability I was shocked with the the negativity that was thrown my way, I only know of one person who supported it, I took a lot of flack which even came from people who claimes to be rather religious, went to church every Sunday and yet they couldn't see that this person may have had a physical disability but at least he didn't have a mental one like i think these people had....people like this don't take into consideration of peoples feelings that underneath we are all the same.

I guess I never gave much thought to people making a big deal out of it because I have not been around people who put a whole lot of thought into skin color. I grew up going to school with every ethnicity you can think of. I guess you could say I was color blind. I hung out with people based on their personality, not their skin color. My parents, while they were white, had friends that were interracial couples. I never saw anything wrong with it because it was the norm around me growing up. I know that where you live has alot to do with it. It is unusual where I am now to see that, and some people stare. I would like to add too that I have friends and relatives that are gay. I am a firm believer that you love who you love and that's that. I'm not going to tell people who to love, and I don't think others should tell me how to live my life. I also think that regardless of who you love, you should be afforded the same privledges as the rest of the country.
