    Absolutely. People are people, are people.
    *edit- I also felt the need to add song lyrics from Gwen Stefani and Andre 3000 called "Long way to go"

    We've got a long way to go
    When snow hits the asphalt, cold looks and bad talk come
    We've got a long way to go
    It's beyond Martin Luther, upgrade computer

    His/Her skin wasn't the same color as mine but he/she was fine,
    he/she was fine
    If all men are made equal then he/she was fine, he/she was fine
    Up until the time we went out on a date, I was fine, I was fine
    Now I'm getting dirty looks I wonder what they'd say if we were
    blind,we were blind people
    We've got a long way to go
    When snow hits the asphalt, cold looks and bad talk come
    We've got a long way to go
    It's beyond Martin Luther, upgrade computer
    We've got a long way to go
    When snow hits the asphalt, cold looks and bad talk come
    We've got a long way to go
    It's beyond Martin Luther, upgrade computer

    Beauty is beauty, whether it's black or white
    Yellow or green baby, you know what I mean
    What if Picasso only used one color?
    There shouldn't be a rule how to choose your lover

    Lovers in love such a wonderful thing
    Maybe in time we'll get together and sing
    I really hope so, there's nothing wrong with this picture
    We got a long way to go, we gotta get there quicker

    We've got a long way to go
    When snow hits the asphalt, cold looks and bad talk come
    We've got a long way to go
    It's beyond Martin Luther, upgrade computer
    We've got a long way to go
    When snow hits the asphalt, cold looks and bad talk come
    We've got a long way to go
    It's beyond Martin Luther, upgrade computer

    What color is love? [x3]
    We've got a long way to go
    When snow hits the asphalt, cold looks and bad talk come
    We've got a long way to go
    It's beyond Martin Luther, upgrade computer
    We've got a long way to go
    When snow hits the asphalt, cold looks and bad talk come
    We've got a long way to go
    It's beyond Martin Luther, upgrade computer

    ... the all men are created equal...
    ... children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by...
    ... the color of their skin...
    ... but by the content of their character...
    ... this will be the day when all of God's children...
    ... will be able to sign with a new meaning....
    ... not only that.....

    To suggest that there is a black or white race is biologically false.

    Inter-ethnic dating is a personal choice, I don't think there is anything to agree or disagree with.

    Yes, of course. People are people. You date who you like/love and who feels the same about you. Why "stay in you own race" with someone you don't care about or treats you badly? Just for the sake of what?

    I don't disagree with it.
    You can date whomever you want, and there's no reason why race should be any barrior againts it.

    In the words of M.L.K., "Judge not a man by the colour of his skin, but by the content of his heart".
    and that's what matters in relationships, the content of your heart.
    And anyone who tries to tell you different isn't worth listening to.

    I agree that it exists, and I agree that there's nothing wrong with it. The color of one's skin is just another physical feature, like weight. People don't look weirdly at a couple where the man is fat and the woman isn't.

    Love is love. It doesn't matter what colour your skin is, where you come from or what your religion is. I see absolutely nothing wrong with a black man dating a white woman. What purpose does dating exclusively within your own skin colour serve? Non, as far as I can see. I don't believe in any of that 'keeping the race alive' rubbish.

    They're no worse than uni-racial relationships. ;-)

    But, sometimes, depending on the family and/or friends that one or both people in a biracial couple might have, they can be stressful, and difficult to maintain. Most couples (biracial or not) can't survive in the long term if there is strong disapproval from family or long-time friends, unless ties to those other people aren't so strong.

    If a biracial couple doesn't have prejudiced families or friends, however, it's just the same as any other couple.

    Then the question becomes - why would you want to tie yourself down to just one person? But that's the cynical misanthrope in me talking...

    depends on where you live.
    Being raised in a big city and then coming to live in a small city,WOW it took me a long time to not start yelling at everybody when they said something racist,which was often. Thankgoodness they know how I feel about it and have taken it upon themselves to curb their tongue when I am around(and any children. Sometimes you are raised saying something and never realize what you are saying. But once you know the error of your ways it is time to stop,and the good folks have.
    SO,
    if you are in a small comunity expect the second looks,the whispers behind hands,the dirty eyes.
    But true love will win!

    I have yet to see any color of skin that is either literally black or literally white. As Nevets correctly points out, what we refer to sociologically as races, really are not in the biological sense. They are ethnicities.

    I agree with people dating those who are good matches for them. This has nothing whatsoever to do with skin color. What I object to is people who find it odd or wrong.

    My son's father was half white, half black. My son is married to a Hispanic woman and they have 2 children together, who are gorgeous. What difference does being bi-racial make in the real scheme of things? People are people. Skin color or race should not make a relationship "good" or "bad." What kind of people they are inside is what should matter.

    I look at it this way..If God did not intend for us to date different races, we would not be able to have babies with each other..I dont think it's a coincidence that any 2 races of people can come together and have a baby, wether its black/white asian/indian etc..That is why a dog and a cat cant reproduce with each other it was not supposed to be that way. I have biracial children and their the most beautiful things on earth..of course I think that because their my kids but they really are :)

    Bi-racial children are beautiful. My son is 1/4 black and he's very handsome. His daughter, whose mother is Hispanic, is a gorgeous little girl with long curly hair that I envy. My grandson, however, looks more like my skintone than the others in the family, and he is SO DARN CUTE!

    The color of someone's skin doesn't matter to me, their attitude and how they present themselves is what's most important.

    Generally inter-racial relationships produce very beautiful children. Of course same-race relationships also produce very beautiful children. Let's see, why is this? Oh, because we all come from the same place...the beginnings of "mankind"..we're all the same race, actually! :)

    "Black man/White woman"

    This is not "interracial" dating since humans are a one race species.
    The concept of human races is a social concept and a biological fallacy.

    What do I care about the colour of someone's skin? You might as well ask me if I agree with people dating if they have different coloured eyes.

    No problem with skin color. People are all the same race really, we're just different colors because we come from different places where those colors might have had some biological importance. The only real objection I'd have is what I would for any kind of intercultural/interreligious dating: are the differences between this black man's culture and this white woman's culture so different as to be incompatible?

    All relationships work just the same. Just like everybody comes from different backgrounds and must work around each other, and accept oneanother for what they are and who they are.
    Certain family members or friends may not be in agreement, but don't worry about what they think. If this is the case, a person should seperate themselves from this type of behavior. Don't let your date be mixed up in all this confusion.

    I believe that interacial dating has exsisted since way back when. people just didn;t talk about it or hid it from other people because they didn't want to become outcast. People are intergrated anyway and if you think that you're not you are strongly mistaken. I am a Mexican-American and I also have some Portuguese in me as well, and I just found that out a couple of years ago (due to my last name). This country is just full of hate and discrimination and the only way to stop it is to begin with ourselves. let's throw away the hate, the barriers and the racial profiling because love comes in every shape size and color.

    singwell-is off researching a lot

    I hate the term biracial. There is only one race amongst humans. The differences are cultural and skin colour.
    ANy cross cultural marriage has its own special difficulties. I know. I am in one. But they can work, provided the couple have things in common and are willing to back each other against cultural intrusions. eg My husband is a Protestant by conviction, but his father is traditional Italian catholic. His father wanted a catholic wedding. Neither of us did. So we stood together on that.
    However, I love my husband's culture and have made great efforts to maintain as much of it as possible in our childrens' lives, including the ability to speak Italian (which I could even before I met my husband. It's a long story). However, that put MY parents' noses out of joint, because they don't speak Italian and were afraid that the girls wouldn't be able to speak to them in English. I assured them that the girls would be quite bilingual, and they are, to this day.
    We have had some difficult times over the years, but we have been married 28 years now. I think we have got through very well. Common faith, common goals, sticking together.

    it depends on where you live and how inter-racial relationships are viewed. Where I'm from (a carribean, mainly black country) whites and blacks that are in a relationship are often seen as a mockery.

    But I have no qualms against inter-racial relationships for I find that when i venture off to the U.S I am more attracted to the caucasian men than the afican ameriacan men.
