writes:How many people are really against Interracial couples, especially those of which consist of a white female, and a black male.I (hear) many white males became completely unattractive to the woman, or would never want to have anything to do with the female, if he knew she was dating a black man. Basically in disgust with her, whether the white male had a crush or was just friends with the white female beforehand. However, I have never witnessed this.I have noticed black females being angry with the black male in the interracial relationship. Knowing the black male is in a relationship with the white female, supposedly the black female "nags", and continuously asks why he is with a white female. I have never seen it directed toward the white females. Do black females have secretive anger against the white female in the relationship?Would you be mad/disturbed if your friend, daughter or son, or even a complete stranger was involved with another race. Specifically black male/white female?I am currently in Georgia, and despite all the comments everyone hears about the south, the south is actually pretty open to races, and interracial couples.I say pretty good, considering other places I have been.As a whole I believe black people (and other races )are more opened to black/white couples vs white people. Well, whites are not necessarily against, but black people come across more friendly towards the interracial couples. What are your thoughts? Does it makes it "better" if both black male, and white female are attractive. Is it ok in society for them to be interracial if they are both considered ugly?Is it most hated if one person in the relationship is much more attractive than their partner?I hear all the time how people "target" interracial couples (hate crimes.) Can't be in 2010,? Is it? Because I never see this on the news/media.I also would love to hear if you agree/disagree with black+white/interracial couples, and why. What you think about them, and what you "have heard" regarding them.Thank you very much.

In the USA we talk purely about race and tend to avoid the underlying social class issues involved.

What colour is LOVE??? Is love limitted to a skin type, or gender? Have you heard the saying "LOVE is BLIND". If people actually believe that, there would be no need to call a relationship Interracial. It would just be a relationship.
Some men believe that if a white woman has been with a black man, then they can not measure up sexually. Because for some reason, all black men have a big penis. Spread this around to stupid people and you have a stereotype.
I believe we need to mix up the races. Then there will be no need to have white or black.
Here is a question to think about, and the way people's minds work. If a so call white person gets a good tan, why are they still considered white??? Hmmmm.
If you limit your heart based on skin colour alone, then you are missing a world full of love love.

 Demanding question.
I lived 15 years in the States : 5 in West L.A and 10 in Manhattan. Both places where people are very busy, self-absorbed,and used to diversity. I can't say I saw many arched
eyebrows at the sight of interracial couples.
I've heard it is different in other parts of the country.
I think though that the attitude of American toward this issue is either very naive or very callous. They pretend to think it's about race, when it's in fact about social class.
Since the black community is way behind compared to the white one in terms of income, work opportunities, education, and social status ( and hey don't get angry at me, this is not an opinion , it's a fact with which I, as a white European , have absolutely nothing to do ) - since, in other words, there are less rich , stable and
educated people among the blacks than among the whites,-
any attempt of interracial dating is seen,more or less consciously, as an attempt to jump ship from one side , or
to go one step down from the other.
When I was in L.A. my son's pediatrician was a young,Jaguar -driving black doctor. I never asked him but I don't think he had many troubles in getting white dates
and I don't think his white dates parents would have been
against him dating their daughters.
Change the successful preppy doctor with an UPS guy, or, worse, a rapper from the projects and we have a whole different scenario.
I have never heard any American admitting that basically it all boils down to that : money and "marrying up " or " marrying down ". Apparently they prefer to believe it's about tradition, "culture " and liking or disliking watermelon.
