Since 'interracial' means it can also be viewed from a Caucasian's point of view...
How do African American people in general feel when their adult child turns up with a Caucasian partner?
Because I never have gotten the impressive they in general are going to jump for joy about it.
How open, warm, accepting, welcoming would an Afr. American family be towards a white person?
Can we get that perspective in? I've never heard anyone open up about that.

My parents grew up in a country where 'white's had been very racist, unjust, and discriminatory towards them. And they were raising us in times along side the children of white families who they understandably associated with those previous values and beliefs and that previous treatment. So they were not thrilled when I dated a white male.

However, my family, and it has been my experience with most families ( I mean parents, not the gen pop, which is a different thing) love people easily, whatever race, when they see that they are good people. They always were civil and polite to people, regardless. But they came around to respecting my choice in the men I dated, and caring for them on the level they witnessed the men care about me, regardless, as well.

Thank you for your reply. I really appreciate it, and interesting to also hear about such things as that is rarely addressed.

You are welcome.

Ignorance and blind prejudice defy common sense & logic . Trying to educate those whom embrace such foolishness are a waste of time energy & oxygen

This first paragraph was exactly my and my parents experience when I was a child. The only difference is that they didn't want me to have English friends because you couldn't trust them.

i agree. but maybe that is depends on people may he/she preferences.

I married a Welsh man. I can totally relate.

Would it be fair to say that interracial relationships are relatively new in the global society and with in the past 50 years people have slowly become more appreciative of other races.

Would it be fair to say that people are more open to a interracial relationship because when we look with in our own race (color) were not able to find the personality were searching for, but have found someone of a different race (color).

you are right bro, black is beautiful, white is beautiful also. I think it's an individual thing, like for me am black, I love ladies but that does not stop from marrying a black or any lady I love. it's an individual thing I guess

The love of my life was a much younger black girl. We saw neither color nor age. We had a wonderful relationship for a year. I will never forget her and still can't move on from her. I grieve for her every single day.

LOL No people aren't jealous of you. There are taboos with older women liking younger guys, or a lady having a sugar daddy. It's just not socially acceptable to everyone, or something that not everyone is comfortable with. My advice-- read some articles written by reputable sources. Or... focus on your own happiness and ignore the taboos.

I'm not sure where you are observing this. I.e., it could be your community. What do you mean by "can't?" I like and date men of all ethnicity and where I live, it's not uncommon for white women to date black men. It could be a value or a belief of one's community. A lot of communities feel negatively about interracial dating. I live in a pretty liberal community, so there are no issues.

It don't matter if your black white or whatever, I love to love..

I come from a very diverse family! I’m proud to say I’m happy that we’re able to accept wholeheartedly who we love and wanna be with without judgement. I leave that up to God to judge. I have dated out my race for many of years, and very comfortable with it! No other can say anything about it, because it’s my life , my choice to live with it.
