    I have nothimg against interracial dating. But I hate when a”brother” makes it seem like dating any other race makes them better. ALL women no matter what race are queens. It’s not the color of the woman but the character of the man that makes her treat a man like a KING.

    oh my goodness. i could really smack some of those girls for being such trash and making white girls look bad. if one of those girls came up to me and said i was a s**t for the color of my mans skin she better run for her life. that last black girl though i could just give her a hug. i think my generation is forgetting the HATE STOPS WITH US!!!!

    So where do I fit in this mix and what will people say about me?! I am mixed Hawaiian/Creol Black/American Indian. I was born an raised in Hawaii and I have never dated a black man until I met my ex-husband who is black/white.I have only dated Samoan, Hawaiian, and Asians. There are black people in Hawaii but most black people who are in Hawaii are in the military such as my ex. My whole family is mixed and I think its beautiful. I fell in love with my ex because of his goals and what he wanted to do with himself. I was never raised to look at color.

    Wow…What happen to dating for the right reason?…Shoot what happen to having a relationship for the right reason.

    RELATIONSHIPS HAVE NO COLOR AS LONG AS UR IN LOVE WITH THAT PERSON ITS WHATS INSIDE THAT MAKES PEOPLE AND PEOPLE ARE WHAT MAKE OTHER PEOPLE LOOK UGLY BY LOOKIN AT ONLY THERE OUTSIDE

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blackdiamondfasho_3/ blackdiamondfasho_3

    In side is what makes a person not what color they are. When u look at people u are supose to look at their inner self not what color they are… So it doesnt matter

    At this point in my life. I have pretty much seen and done a bit. Dating outside my race is cool. But, in my heart I know that I need the love of a strong black woman. For the simple reason; That she will know what it is to be black in America. She will know my heart aches and tribulations. Only until all black men on this planet are truely accepted. Will interacial dating not be, such an eye sore for most.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/rocki1/ rocki1

    i think it doesn’t matter what color or what race to chose to date. what’s more important is how family feels about you dating that person and if their happy with who are with then leave the rest of this interracial issue alone. Let people date who they want to date.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Babyphat_73/ Babyphat_73

    Wow, this will always be a never ending touchy subject. I date black men or if you want to be politically correct African-American men. Yes, it is a choice that everyone is blessed with but whatever we as individuals choose we shouldn’t be judged or crucified by it. God already paid that price. Love is a blessing that was given to us and here we go brutalizing it by segrations and ignorance. Racism breathes and exists by every ethnicity. Trust and believe me when I say not one race is excluded when it comes to blindness and ignorance of color.

    i love to date other races cause it shouldn’t matter whatt other people think about ur relationship as long as ur happy

    people are people who cares what color their skin is!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/One2Indulge/ One2Indulge

    First and foremost, ALL that matters is what you feel in your heart and soul. We can’t help who we fall in love with. If you fight it then you are always going to wonder what if? YOU are the only one that can make the decision to date out of your race if you so choose. As long as both people regardless of race are able to become one and work together is all that matters. You need a strong foundation with whom you are dating in order to handle such ignorance. It doesn’t matter what anyone even your family thinks. True love is true love. You are who you are even before you started dating out of your race and if people can’t accept you for you then you DON’T need them in your life. Believe me; I have cut even family members out of my life for judging me for dating out of my race. It takes a STRONG person to be able to do so. I am who I am accept me or not. That’s your choice and if you don’t then it’s your loss. NO ONE is going to dictate my life regardless of who you are. I am where I am today because I have been a fighter all my life and I will be damned if someone is going to influence who I date in a negative way. I don’t keep negative people in my life regardless if you are family or not. Man, I can keep going and going, but I will stop here. Be passionate, strong, love everyone and do it selflessly.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/One2Indulge/ One2Indulge

    One more thing, regardless of what race you date. Always be yourself!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MsSaucey/ MsSaucey

    I also date outside my race. I have dated my race and outside of my race, let me tell you one race hurts you just as much as the next race. I have been hurt by black men and by white men and the feelings are the same no matter what color man it is that hurts you.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/candyapple2sweet/ candyapple2sweet

    I would date outside my race,as long as the person whom I’m dating can look pass my race and see my heart.I love people of all races.I was raised that way,to love people as God loves them.My question to those that would not and are racist,what do you think it is going to be like in Heaven? Especially when there will be every race of people there and every type of creature,big and small.

    I am a spanish, irish, african, native american, and german mixed young lady. Most mistake me for just black, just latin, or even hawaiian. When people ask me what I am I say human, because that is what I am, that is what everyone is…it shouldn’t be about the race or cultural background, besides God isn’t against it why are we? If you really love someone you shouldn’t see anything except the fact that they are human, have blood running through there veins, and love you back. And if you really love the person then why would you care what the ignorant people who probably aren’t with the ones they love anyway say? Shot I would like to know if dating outside your race isn’t right then who am I suppose to date cause technically if they’re not spanish, irish, african, native american, and german mixed I shouldn’t be with them! But I don’t follow behind the belief that outside the race is wrong because love is blind and doesn’t see race or size.

    i date a black man..and i dont see ANYTHING wrong with it. i dont see color i see whats on the inside as should EVERYBODY else. think about it, if god wanted it to be all one color he wouldnt have created black, hispanic, etc. he doesnt see color so y should we???

    i was married to a black man for 17 years and have 5 beautiful kids and 10 grandkids all are mixed w/ black,white and hispanic . i taught my kids 2 love who they are and to be proud.We all bleed red blood and color dont make a person your up bringing is what makes a person .all my kids and grand kids r posted on my page . im very proud of them and wouldnt trade them for the world . thats my oppion on interracial relationship . much love

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Willstheone/ Willstheone

    I feel there is nothing wrong with an inter racial relationship. There are many inter racial couples out there today. Some cases both the man and woman dont care what race the spouse is. Both prefer someone of a different race. Or one doesnt care and the other prefers someone of a different race. I myself prefer to date a black female. I believe the black women have a more attractive body.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/dazleeyez16/ dazleeyez16

    personally i dont think anything is wrong wit interracial relationships a person cant help whom they are attracted to. me only being my age i have dated outside of my race and yes it has been hard because there were times where his parents were like well she’s to dark or her hair’s not long enough but really no of that mattered to him but i dont see why people have this issue we are all the same so people need to get over it

    I DIDN’T EVEN WATCH THE WHOLE VIDEO BECAUSE THIS TOPIC ENRAGES ME TO MUCH….THAT GUY SAID WHITE GIRLS WHO DATE BLACK MEN ARE S**TS?!? WTF IS THAT? HOW DOES THAT EVEN MAKE SENSE??
    I FEEL SORRY FOR NARROW MINDED PEOPLE WHO CAN’T LOOK BEYOND SKIN TONE….LOVE IS NEVER WRONG
    AND FOR THOSE THAT SAY THEY WOULDN’T DATE OUTSIDE THEIR RACE BECAUSE ONLY ANOTHER BLACK PERSON UNDERSTANDS WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE BLACK…PLEASE…THAT’S LIKE SAYING I’M ONLY GONNA DATE A WOMAN BECAUSE ONLY A WOMAN UNDERSTANDS WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE A WOMAN…
    INTERRACIAL DATING ISN’T FOR THE WEAK…IT’S NEVER OKAY TO BOW DOWN TO WHAT IGNORANT RACIST PEOPLE THINK….PEOPLE NEED TO FIGHT FOR WHAT’S RIGHT…SO DON’T DENY YOURSELF OF WHO YOU LOVE BECAUSE OF OTHER PEOPLES IGNORANCE…BECAUSE THEY’RE WINNING IF YOU DO
    WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS WE ALL LOVE THE SAME….WE ALL HAVE EMOTIONS…FEELINGS WE CAN’T CONTROL…EVERYONE DESERVES A CHANCE IT’S NEVER OKAY TO DENY SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE THEIR SKIN LOOKS DIFFERENT THAN YOURS…YOU’RE DEFINATELY MISSING OUT IF YOU DO
    IT’S ABSOLUTELY WHAT’S INSIDE THAT COUNTS

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/DeneiaD/ DeneiaD

    I have never dated outside of my race. I do not have anything against it though. If it happens, it happens but I don’t actively search for someone of a different race. A lot of my friends and family are against it but I’ve sort of put it off as small town/minded people and/or ignorance. My father has been with a white woman for a little over 8 years and I love her to death. My brother also has been with a white young lady for a few years, whom he just recently had a baby with and I love her just as much. This is 2009, people need to just take a look at the world around us and be thankful that the Lord is allowing us to live during this great time. Stop worrying about who is dating who of a different race. Maybe if they would ‘try something new’ they would have a mate instead of being so lonely and wouldn’t have the time to be concerned with other people’s business…I do feel sorry for all the black women who feel like Kaline (that no man, no matter the color, accepts black women). Many black women have been taught that coming up and so many believe it to be true. I am ashamed to say but I also had the same feelings at one point in my life. I believe that it was a combination of not only what I was told but also what I have witnessed. I have learned, however, that there will always be someone who thinks that you are the most beautiful creature in the world. Thank God that all men are not really alike.

    I feel that there is nothing wrong with interracial relationships because regardless of what people may say ” I am a grown ass women”. and no one can tell me who am going to date and who i cant date!! But i want to tell everyone out there who has a problem with it they can kiss my booty!!! I am in an interracial relationship and i have a beautiful little mixed baby who is my world and no one is going to tell her who she can date and who she cant date!!! and if they have a problem with that you can come talk to because by the time im through with you, you have no problem no more!!! And who are you to judge me because who i am with!!! ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME!!!

    I believe interracial dating is okay. All that matters is that two people love eachother. However, people are gonna make things hard for the couples. They just need to stay strong and stick together.

    I am biracial and I have a problem with interracial dating. The lord didn’t invent the race mollato, man did. Temptation of forbidden fruit, enticing- nah. I have dated outside of my race, but my children are one race. The children do suffer. You cannot kill years of ignorance and hatred. I have been hated by the races in me, by all the races that I was created. It would seem that black women are losing out on selection, huh? If easy is what you want as men, go for it. personally, I want something that I have to work for. just my opinion

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/COLLEGECHIK1/ COLLEGECHIK1

    I am in an interracial relationship right now with a white man I don’t see anything wrong with it. We go places, visit his friends my friends and do everything together. But what I have a problem with is people who date outside of there race and they do it for show. They date someone just to show them off, as if saying “I’m not racist see I’m dating someone out of my race!” You have to follow your heart not someone elses.

    I am married to a black man and my mom did not approve of first but now she is fine with it I have never read in the bible where races are not suppose to mix. I have two beautiful little boys and they are great and my oldest son has no problems he just says I’m black and white. And he is cool with it. I have always beleaved that racist people are just ignorant people! Love is whats in your heart not the color of your skin.

    It’s 2009 and the world is changing not for the better but for the worst. I have children and as a parent I want life for them to be better than it was me (condition and attutides of the world) and any parent does/should feel that way. In wanting the best for them I teach them to love and respect everyone no matter race or creed, because no matter what color we are we all are created in the same manner, we all bleed red blood and we all die. For those of you who choose to include GOD’s word in your conversation should know that GOD wants us love to others as we want to be love and to live together in peace and harmony, as far as who you choose as your mate it should be someone that would help bring you closer to GOD and it does matter if he black, white, yellowas long as his ultimate purpose was to abide in God’s word. To sum it all up : “We need resolve the differences that divide us ” STOP the Hate and Ignorance and START growing as a Community(Nation) UNITED not divided. My prayers go out to all that this message may fall upon.

    I feel – to each is own who are we to judge a person because of someone they love. Myself I haven’t dated out side my race and i’m not going to say i’m not. I’ve thought about it. I’ve imagined what it would be like. I’ve always wondered why it’s such a big issue with some people we are all human, we all come from the same creator. I thought the whole purpose of what martin luther king did for the people was to unite and it’s happened now there’s another problem with discrimination. Maybe I’m not understanding to well but I feel that anyone should be with who they are happily in love with. I think it’s beautiful to see two PEOPLE in love and if i see it then it shows. I also feel that when people see these types of relationships and they get upset about it means they have a jealousy issue. If i’m wrong then tell me why would you get mad at two people that are in love?

    I say to each’s own. For myself I am attracted to black men. Sorry nothing else turns my head on the street. I have been like that since the day I discovered boys so to speak. I have 2 friends who have married men of other races & another friend of just started seeing a man of another race. They are my girls & I love them like sisters and all I want for each of them is their happiness. the only thing I hope they did it because they love the person not because they have given up on black men. I guess i just can’t help it. “Chocolate has always been my craving”.

    Honestly, everyone on this panel should of reviewed careful, we can not base anything on their personal opinions it is what you feel within your heart. The shade of the color of a person skin should not reflect upon how you may feel for the person in question. Since I am a mixed breed of two nationalities, I feel that you can date who ever you feel, your heart takes a risk no matter what the race.

    I’m not an ingnorant person nor a racist (people have called me a racist for this before) by saying this but i don’t support interrational relationships. I would perfer to date someone of my own race, but its frustrating when you see many of the limited successful black men date white, latinos, and asians to try something different, because of the sterotypes that people say about black women or sexual reasons (white women). I understand that there’s a mixture in everyone and that a true race wil die out (if it hasn’t already), but i know i’m not the only one who would perfer to date someone in their own race. I’m just probably one of the few who would say it out loud.
    To the people who don’t mind interrational relationships, then that’s you.

    Race crap is retarded. No race is better than the next. No one is perfect everybody, no matter the skin color or environment has faults. I’ll wax some white ass, have before and i would love to do it again. That doesn’t mean i dislike the smooth chocolaty skin of my African American sisters, or a healthy scoop of some butter pecan Rican. I know plenty of LOUD white girls, with stank attitudes. I know plenty of black women who are educated and sophisticated. I just really feel that it’s stupid to miss your chance at to have a person that is compatible enough to be your companoin for life just because she maybe another race

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/YoSeXiPuErToRiCaN/ YoSeXiPuErToRiCaN

    Interracial relationships are beautiful, Its okay to be open and experience different cultures, everyone should be free to date and marry who they want without being judged.I personally am married to an african american man, and i love him to death. it doesnt matter what skin color you are or what shape or size you are, as long as they love each other, because in the end we are all alike.

    Interracial dating is such a wonderful thing, its ok to mix different races, I personally have never really dated outside of my race, but, I totally would!!! I think everything should be based on what you are attracted to and what personality you click with!! If he or she treats me well and I click with them, it’s a match made in heaven!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/kd1402/ kd1402

    I have absolutely no problem with interracial dating. I have a problem when black men say they refuse to date black women. For that matter when someone refuses to date someone of their own race. It’s a type of self hatred in my opinion. I’m sure this happens in other races as well, but my experience has only been with the black men I know.

    I can’t date white chicks. I’ll sleep with them but not date. I love a black woman, an hispanic woman or just a mixed breed wich I prefer anyhow. There is nothing wrong with interracial dating. I’ve done it before plenty of times. Its how I come to a conclusion that white woman are not for me. They’re cool peoples to hang with, but not as my significant other.

    I don’t think there is anything wrong with dating outside your race. I’ve never experience an interracial relationship and if the opportunity occur I would. I haven’t seen anywhere in the bible that says that we have to date within our race. That is something that MAN started not GOD. Love is not suppose to discriminate. That is how a lot of us miss out on our blessings by walking around with a hard heart with so much hatred.

    I like that Tyra put forth a discussion on this. I think it’s actually in reverse when it comes to intelligent Black men. I date interacially because it seems that the ideal archetype in our community is the thug/baller/pretty boy, and if you’re an individual who thinks outside-the-box, you’re “trying to be White”. I don’t talk ghetto, I don’t act/dress ghetto, and I don’t like any kind of sports. This stereotype is so bad that I even have White friends telling me I’m the whitest Black guy they know. It’s a shame that even outside our community, you can only be Lil Wayne, and not Colin Powell or Barack Obama. I refuse to sag my pants (which is a prison sex come-on, by the way), speak English on a 4th-grade level, and have no greater knowledge of the world than the latest Lakers game. So, if that’s what Black women aspire to get out of Black men, I simply go elsewhere. Simple economics – if a particular demographic isn’t producing results, choose a different market. I’m multi-racial myself, and have no inherent loyalty to any group, especially to my disadvantage.

    Not all Black (or semi-Black) men are thugs/players/jocks…or want to be. There are the Benjamin Bannekers, the Barack Obamas, the Henry Browns, the Marie Browns…those of us that aspire for much more than BET and ESPN.

    Tyra always does something that will leave you thinking about the issues. However it was a time that yo couldn’t date outside you race.With that being as a black woman the only race of man that I don’t have to compete with is asian. Black woman have to compete with the black woman,the white woman,the spanish woman, the mixed woman when their men are hardly intrested in black woman. At some point I’m old fashioned we should go back to those days.A matter of fact black women are labeled b***hes or too agressive.Is it that all thesae other races of women more passive.

    I would definitely date outside of my race. Race doesn’t matter as long as he treats me right…That is what it is all about. Does he treat me right. Am i treating him right. forget race.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mldwho/ mldwho

    i don’t really see the race. i like my guy to be educated not some guy who only tink about the latest Jordans and what party they were going to crash tonight.guys there way more to life then that. seriously, its not only black guys who think like that, many white guys does think about life. its not matter of race, its a matter of character and some people are so blind that they cannot see beyond the color of your skin.i’m dating a black guy who have a job, his own place, a college degree, and his own car. thats the kind of guy i want, the ones who have a future and a goal. i am not a golddigger but i gotta think about the future and i sure ain’t dating a guy whos gonna impregnate and then leave me. I’m a black woman and proud to be one. we black woman were raised to be strong and take of ourselves and anything that belong to us. People in general are scared of anybody whos strong. if we weren’t raised that way, we wouldn’t be where we are today. it took strenght to make it through slavery, racism and all the opression we have to go through. we black women were raised to hold things together and thats what we do. just because we have opinions does not mean that we’re loud and agressive. i stand up for what i believe in but i’m not agressive. there are many agressive wite women out there. its just a personality thing. i’m quiet, stay in my room, and take care of my business type. i have goals and i’m not gonna let anything interfere with them but it does not mean that just because i’m quiet that i’m gonna let people walk all over me. black women just won’t stand to take crap because of what they went through.

    Lol~ race/color has nothing to do with it. It’s morales/goals/family/faith/confidence
    etc…
    I don’t discriminate…I love men that end in ~an(AmericAN,ArmeniAN, Puerto RicAN, AfricAN,AustraliAN,etc…) you get my point. A man is wonderful, and with so many males acting like women, to find a good MAN, regardless of race is a BLESSING. Ya never gonna be found by the 1 if you are letting something as trivial as a persons race stand in the way. Recall, God says He looks to the heart of man. Not the outward apperance.
    Don’t get me wrong “black’ love is beautiful, But LOVE in and of it self is gorgeous!

    Sorry i think imma be the real one here and say nope…black is were its at…i may do latino but minority is my priority

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/offdaleash/ offdaleash

    i’m sorry but i gotta put it out there most black women i see with whitedudes is ok looking. i mean i’m sure they pull a few cute ones but for the most part they aint my type at all. so as far as i’m concerned whitey can have you offbrand lookin black broads. plus when a whiteman wants a blackwoman all he has to do is hit the hoe stroll so who cares.

    I don’t have no problem at all dating outside my race…but I only attract black guys so now I just prefer to stick to my own kind

    I have never thought about race. I have only been approached by men of my race. I don’t think I would turn down a man of another race if he treats me right, respects my wishes and my children

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Jadeina/ Jadeina

    When I met my boyfriend he had all those qualities I was looking for that it didn’t matter that he wasn’t the same race or complexion as I. To be honest even to this day I never even thought about his ethnicity. And because of him I now understand what it means to know someone for who they are and not what someone else thinks they are or should be. When you limit your options you limit what could be in your life. And that’s what this is about your life not what someone else thinks. Every race is beautiful and we should not close ourselves off to others.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/courtneyR/ courtneyR

    jadeina ,you are so right.anyone that doesnt want me is fine with me..as for me,i never gave a hoot what someone else thought i should do according to them..that is the most ignorant thing to succomb to..listening to others and not listening to your own heart equals missed opportunities..ive dated everything,,but my man and i have been together for 15 years..it never mattered that he was white..as long as he treated me with proper respect.all that other nonsense is for the birds..i find it funny that the very ones putting others down,are lonely,by themselves,or in a messed up situation of a so called relationship most likely..whatever.

    Hmmm…I would only date outside my race at this point.

    Open your mind and you’ll realize that a persons color is an act of God, as is the gift of a mate. I’m African America and my wife is an Italian American. Our relationship has never had anything to do with our respective race, curiosity or any desire to date outside our race. Friendship, mutual interest and most of all being equally yoked, as the Bible says. Our union has been blessed with 2 beautiful children, whom love both sides of our families and are able to embrace the difference in cultures between the two sides. I was raised by and with strong, upwardly mobile, African American women who encouraged me to think and act independently. Almost 10 years have passed and our relationship continues to grow and has caused many people to re-think how they actually have limited opportunities and possibilities by reducing their associations to only their race. My love, respect and friendship is bigger and more meaningful to all concerned parties when content of character is the only factor being considered.

    It shouldn’t be a big deal but to some people they cannot get past their hatred.. It is unfair to believe that Black men choose white women becuz we are weak or vice versa.. I am a Strong, Independent, White woman that has NO problem speaking my mind to my man. I am not a doormat nor am I weak by any means..My ex-husband was a weak ass man not becuz he married me, a white woman, but becuz he chose to run the streets, be a junkie and treat every woman no matter the color like crap.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/DSBG2006/ DSBG2006

    It’s funny how the one girl was saying it’s ok if you want to date someone out of your race if it’s for the right reasons, LOL… And who says what the right reasons are? So you can date somebody in your race for the wrong reasons, but if you date somebody outside your race and color it has to be for all the right reasons ha ha ha……. FAIL!!!!

    How about you date, screw, and do whatever the hell u wanna do for the right & the wrong reasons and have a good ole time while doin it. And then you Die!!!!! Sounds like a pretty good life to me, cause at the end of all this, ain’t none of this gonna matter. So enjoy people all white, black, brown, yellow all of us….. Let’s just do the damn thing, whatever is whatever. It’s gone be what it’s gone be.

    Only problem I saw on this whole thing was when the one white dude was like, I don’t want kids to have to go through what ya’ll go through, ha ha ha…. Damn dude must think people of color have horrible lives, and wish we could be white so our lives would be great? FAIL!!!!!!! Wrong answer white boy, tell ya redneck parents to u want a refund back on how you were raised cause that s**t is an instant FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I ain’t even gonna say much about the one light skin black chick talkin about black women and white men are on the same level education wise? Really? So that makes it ok? ha ha ha. As I stated, do what you want. But being a hypocrite, well it is what it is.

    As I said once before Black Men are Kings, Black Women are Queens…. But The King & Queen Don’t Always Get Along.

    Peace!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I would date outside my race in a heart beat, since it’s what I’m more comfortable doing. If others don’t, to each its own.
