FINE BY ME

I am only reminded of the color of skin by others who label me this or that and that gets tiring! I am "me" and anyone who doesn't take the time to get to know me and prefers to judge me by my skin color is not worth my time or energy. I married out of my race and culture and know that I am all the more richer for it and besides he's the sweetest man on the planet!

Its all depend on the perception of an individual... otherwise skin color does not matter at all and there are many example, which makes us to beleive this. What exactly matter is inner beauty... yes beauty of ur heart

It seem that you must have some very bad experiences on what you are telling here. Its pretty sad to hear that but you need to believe that not all are the same.I hope one day you will find what am saying was true:)

Ignorance comes in many forms.Cruelty is on of them. Because of ignorance we are all judged. In the end God will have the Final say. I am raising my children to be colorblind therefore race isnt an issue. We are all the same race....HUMAN RACE

Too many people once they have formed a judgement will refuse to acknowledge any other pattern of thought, it’s terrible to see. We’re individuals.

It doesn't matter what race group you belong to, first you have to depend on the support you get from your own group. If that's there I think it doesn't matter what others think about you. Like you said it if they are your rivals for any reason, you'll go nuts if you try to get any support from them because that's how things are, most of the time each group tries to make its particular group better than others in many areas. If that's going to get to you, you will end being a mental wreck, and most people that suffer from psychological disorder are people that are asking what they shouldn't. Talk about relationship and if you are easy going, there are dozens who want to jump into your pants, whether you are black or any other race, I'm one for example, because I know myself. But if you build some barrier around you, your own people will find it difficult to pass through it. So, cheer up, things are not as bad as you are trying to paint them, except that don't go for a tall order. If a team sits through a game and lose a game, whose fault is going to be?

I think the majority of people have put racism behind them, there are very few people that still think the color of your skin makes you who you are. You know there are still a few blacks that keep themselves down because they think that they are looked up differently because they are black, I think that's just their excuse for being nobodys in life. Today in age you can make anything of your self if you have the ambition, no matter the color of your skin. Although I believe racism will never completely disappear because there are people who are ignorant and will never get past it.

Exactly. It is what is within that counts.

good

i believe the only color that matters is the color of your personality.anything else is redundant.i believe in the human race only and pity those people who practise racism because they are wasting their lives on something infinitely purposeless and futile

I married outside of my race and have a child with my husband.We have been through a lot of ups and down with it.I would not change my family for anyone elses even though I know now what to expect when going out in public.

you need to wake up to the 21st centry alot of what you are talking about is water under the bridge. majority of blacks have moved on and dont look back. race is not a issue in dating unless your young and parents are in dark ages

sorry i missed the spot about where you live i truly believe the black race is better to deal with east of the mississipi river you show more respect and knowledge than most i have met in arizona and yes i been in your and every state near you and down by georgia area too

FINE BY ME a lot of people have ideas of what is truth and what isn't true. as people we naturally judge people and situations as a means of survival. I am black. and though I haven't officially dated a guy of another race, I have flirted and have friends of different races and nationality as well as family(in-laws i.e cousins, aunts, uncles etc) that are of different races and in the end we are all people. there will always be hate against my race ( why I have yet to know a logical answer) even though we are one of the largest contributors to 20th century technology ( refrigeration, gas mask, traffic lights, modern rotation of crops, the street sweeper,lawn sprinkler,air conditioner, mop, dust pan, and more recently a black man was a major creating force behind the world wide web !) and maybe that's what makes some people mad. that blacks as a race though mistreated , neglected and spit upon never lost their natural creative energy and the haters are reminded everytime they do almost anything. So hey, date and marry anyone you want. cause It's not what's on the outside, it's what's within. Yes your right with it. Fight for your right. We are all created equal by God.

It kind of sounds as though something has personally happened to you that you're looking for someone to verify your thoughts on the matter. There will always be hate that's a human race issue. Not just balck and white. People hate other people for many reasons most of which are unjustified. Date who you want, love who you want, marry who you love and loves you the same. Discrimination on the other hand is completely different. We all are guilty of it and being completely truthful with yourself you can't deny it. It's all good.
