The color of love

I don't think racism will ever go away. I think all love should be treated equal whether its inter-racial, or homosexual, or both.

in this modern world inter-racial should not be an issue anymore; people should learn to accept the matter openly but i guess to some it's still controversial. i believe that if you truly love someone then language, culture, race, religion or any other matters, should not be an issue or barrier. But when in an inter-cultural or inter-racial relationship, the couple must know that they might face problems or that there are people who wouldn't approve of their relationship. they have to work together and stand by each other to try to overcome the problem. if they love each other, then they would not mind the obstacles that they have to go thru. but if only one of them is willing to preserve the relationship, then it could be difficult. i don't have anything against inter-cultural/racial relationship, in fact i admire those who are in that kind of relationship, and how their strength, courage and love for each other made their relationship possible.

no racism has not vanished and it will be on the face of the earth for a very long time, even if interracial couples marry there is still other kinds of racism, jobs, housing, being invited to exclusive clubs, schools etc. My son is biracial he faces these challenges every day of his life.

I am not a racist either. I think all people have a right to choose the life they want to live. I think if people want to date or marry outside of their color, then that is their right. Not all of us are the same in the world. We all make different decisions on who and how we want to live our life.

I think racism is here to stay unfortunately. My husband is hispanic, I am white. I didn't even think about the fact that he was a different race than me until someone else pointed it out. This was months later. I think a neighbor/friend asked what my dad thought of me dating someone who is Mexican. My answer was; "I have no idea. He has never said anything and it never crossed my mind."I don't really care what race you are as long as you have a good heart. We have had a little bit of clashing in the past 5+ years because we were brought up in two entirely different cultures, but we work it out and come to a compromise. I added a pic of us.

I think that if you truly love someone, the color of their skin shouldn't matter. I know that some of my family members, aunts and uncles, don't believe in this type of thing. They always have stuff to say about it. I think that if they had been put in a situation where they could fall in love with a person of a different race, it would be a different story to them, but no, they did't so it's considered wrong. I don't think it's wrong at all. You can't help the way your heart feels for another human being.

well I can tell you two things from personal experience..Racism is alive and well unfortunately and interracial relationships and marriages are STILL frowned upon by many unfortunately...Now I'm a Canadian and have ALWAYS been in interracial relationships, still to this day..I'm now living in the U.S (NY) and let me tell you that there is a HUGE difference to acceptance between here and there...Back home its really not a big deal...Here in the States however..its still a big deal in many areas... Racism to any degree isnt nearly as bad as it was several yrs ago and way back in the day but its still around and like someone else mentioned, it won't be going anywhere sadly..

I like loving others. But not yet started.....

Where I am living now it does not matter! When I was growing up, it was still rare to see mixed couples! It was often thought that the children of mixed races would be ugly, but that is not my experience with the many people I have met since then!

It seems as if race and culture are still considered in dating but that they are not always viewed the way that some would have you believe. There are light skinned people who prefer darker skinned mates and the reverse is also true. And then there are those who prefer people that look like themselves. It is true that, according to statisics, often blond haired blue eyed men prefer to mate with blond haired blue eyed women more often than they prefer to mate with brown haired and brown eyed women but this is not a racial thing but is in fact a result of something as primitive,natural selection as the blond hair and blue eyes trait is a recessive trait and the brown haired, brown eyed trait is a dominant trait... so if they mated outside this there would in fact be no blond haired, blue eyed people left. There are families who are accepting of their children and of whomever their children love and there are those parents who believe that no one is good enough for their daughter whether that person be black, white, pink, yellow or purple. Issues of race are flexible, permiable, and often hidden. And sometimes race is a cover too for other issues that are not being discussed. In areas where there is racism still, it is a certainly that there is along with it ignorance and fear which triggers anger and resentment... If the ignorance is overturned by people actually having the chance to get to know each other not just as White or Black or Mexican or Asian people but as individuals with varied beliefs, feelings, needs and experiences, then we have the ability to root out racism and make the world a much better place for future generations. I praise the interracial and intercultural couples for having the intelligence to understand our commonality as people and the courage to stand firm in loving committments with each other despite perceptions of others who may or may not be as kind as we all would wish.

i can marry a man that's different from our culture if we both love each other. i have a chinese bf and as long as he loves me, i would fight for him i hope he does the same for me i think racism will not be vanished from earth as long as there are many people who follows their tradition like a chinese must marry a chinese and so on. but for me, there's nothing wrong with mixed couples as long as they love each other

Being a parent of biracial children of course I have an opinion on this one. First off I am a white woman involved with a black man. My children (all girls) have foumd their spot in a predominantly white community. By man is well liked because he is polite and very self confident. He genuinely gets along with everyone. I remember when my youngest was just a baby and I was at a grocery store. One older woman came up to me and said "My what a beautiful child are you babysitting?" I said "No she is mine" The woman pressed farther and said "You adopted her how sweet" Again my reply was "No she is mine" the woman lowered her head and walked away. I was not offended rather I was amused. It is ok for people to look at my family and appreciate us. My family always conducts themselves proper and we are polite to others so I do not get dirty looks

I am the product of an interracial marriage, relationship, love, however you want to put it, I am half Asian and half Caucasian. And if you want to put another spin on things, my fiancee is Caucasian, thus our children will be mixed as well. [br]But as for it being a controversy, it's not as big of a "controversy" as say 60 years ago. We live in a more tolerant society despite what people may think. Sure, there are some groups that hold this up to be a bigger controversy than what most find it to be, but there will always be those small pockets of extremism; that's just how the world is. The fact of the matter is the concept of interracial relationships is more widely accepted in today's world, and speaking from experience, it is true: love knows no color.

People should be able to marry any one that chooses. Here in The United State you can do that. The color of your skin means nothing or how you look. Take your skin off and see if your different from a white person or a black person. It's just pigment. It's really sad how we let our differences divided the human race.

I think its true. people are still not able to cpount on the true essensce of love. may be still for taht reasons we are not able to accept love irrespective of race and colour. now the situation is improving a bit.

Love has no colour of its own, or we can say that if God has a colour then that colour will be the colour of love. There can be no second opinion that people should love freely and unconditionally. Geographical boundaries, religion, race, language, colour of skin, life style or any such thing should not a barrier to love. However in case of marriage, both partners should have an arrangement where these elements should not cause any problem, as both partners are going to live as one entity. If such arrangement is possible than there should not be any objection to marriage between people of different races, religions, regions, language or life style. There are laws in some communities which do not allow marriage between people of different religions. For example, in Muslim community, a Muslin can not marry a non-Muslim. I am a Hindu and I have married a Hindu. There is no law against it but I would not have married a non-Hindu.

As the world is getting smaller and smaller due to fast communication ways and working opportunities available around the global, trend of getting marry to someone different from your culture is increasing. But marrying someone who is different from your culture and civilization can be complex depending how different the culture is. For example, if you are a muslim and get marry to a girl who has no problem with drinking, staying out with his friends for long, or eating food that's not allowed in islam can be kind of difficult thing to manage. But if the couple is understanding and very much alike when it comes to life and social issues, I guess, things can be work out. Most of the time very small things like(why can't you cook my food? we have to live with my parents, you can't just go outside like this, what kind of music you are listening? stop that , don't do this etc)cause love to fade out.

interracial marriages have a hard go at it!they suffer not only from teh prejudice of others,but also from inherent problems of differences between their respective cultures which combine with those already present in a marriage.ethnic groups bring variety and richness to a society by introducing their own ideas and customs.interracial marriages introduce such variety.in a perfect world,everyone should celebrate this.love has no color or boundaries its a feeling.i implore to those who feel that it does kindly let it be a feeling and pure emotion!
