i call bull$hit on all this...

say you're one race, and your 'friend' is another..YOU may not have a problem with his/her race..but your family/friends might..

if that happens, you know darn good and well that will influence your decision on being with that person fully

yes we're all the same on the inside..but c'mon..be honest with youself..don't just say "oh race ain't no thing with me" cuz you know that if you fall from grace from your loved ones..you more than likely won't do it



Well number 1....I'm glad my family isn't like that and number 2....I'm glad my friends aren't like that either and if a friend WAS like that and couldn't respect the girl I was dating because she was the wrong race or color.....Not much of a friend would he/she be....

Maybe for some people...

But let's face it, if your friends/family has a problem with it, then thats really too bad...so are you saying that you should get approval from family and friends on who you can date or not date?

No one makes decisions about my life, but myself...

and if my friends/family had issues with it, then they have issues that they need to correct....

BUT that's just me...

so are you saying that you should get approval from family and friends on who you can date or not date?


no ..i make my decisions, i live with my decisions, plain and simple.

if i allowed my friends and family to approve of who i date, i'd never date...at all lol

fact is..most would allow that approval or disapproval to influence them..that's just how it is


everyone on this thread was saying "race isn't an issue with me"

bull$hit..it is with everyone...it always will til we see blind..

I can't speak for anybody else, but I have no family, and only a few friends whose opinions would ever even be offered, let alone listened to.

Those who know me, know that my standards regarding who I get involved with, are not "typical." They accept that.

I've had girlfriends of other races. They didn't last long -- but none of mine ever do, regardless of race, and race was never the cause of a breakup for me.

Call bull$hit all you want, and you may be accurate with the call on everyone else, for all I know or care.

Totally wrong on mine, though.

in the mean time, you're here on a dating site...are you still with the guy?

if not..maybe they saw something in him that had nothing to do with his race??

just a thought

it's good you have a fiend like that then..

the point is, those friends that didn't approve...may have had a point in not approving..

my family did't approve of my X hubs...but they didn't approve for a reason, and he's the X hubs for that reason, i had to see it for myself tho..

had i listened to them in the first place, i wouldn't have my duaghter, or the lesson learned

She said, "Rhonnie I have never been nor never will be prejudice you know that ."
And I said," Mumby I know that but you are a political snob..

My irish grandmother replied without missing a beat

Honestly if you all want to know the truth .. no one will ever make the cut in my families eyes for me and this has nothing to do with race, religon or political background it just has to do with family.. I come from a huge irish family and I am the baby girl --- BADDDDD COMBINATION ..

I must disagree with you...I don't think race is an issue for ALL, perhaps some...if we get can't look past the color, than there is a problem...

I would, however, agree with you that some people allow others to influence their decisions...pretty sad if you ask me, but those kinds of people have no back bone, so they allow that to happen...it's all good.

Your point is not lost, I understand what you were saying...I just don't it's that big of a deal now days...but, good point that you brought up.
