Maybe I'm just an exception, but mixed-race doesnt bother me in the slightest. In fact, my girlfriend is half-mexican, which would make my kids, if it gets to that point and we actually have any, quarter mexican. And I dont care.

I thought it bothered me...before I realized who I was, and the things that were important to me. The color of one's skin scrapes the bottom of my list. More importantly are the things they believe and the way they behave, etc...
The heart wants what the heart wants...regardless of color, or a lot of other things, at least for me.
I think it would be silly to deny myself something because i'm hung up on something as trivial as a color...

I have a thing for certain races, but not all of them are white. James Bond liked em, so I liked em too. If a partner happens to be black, they must like metal. Or tolerate it. It does, in fact, happen.

Pretty much single rule for dating is: You see this? This is what you will be dating. If you see room for improvement, I will of course engage wiht you in frank but respectful dialogue re: that improvement. On date one, we should be only complimentint one another. or we will be booted from the date. Same goes for several more dates, wherein we pretend to be the most open minded, amaYzing hearts we have ever met. Then we start "dating" dating.

This phase is the last in which you may make improvements to me. Afterwards, you drive off the lot, and I'm yours. Changes can be made OCCasionally to haircut, but not the haircut you saw on Guiding Light. It must be rock like, or able to become that way with minimal effort.

1. No , I won't quit the band.
2. No, I won't move to the town your mothr lives in, unless it's within 100 miles.
3. I'm not going to move in with you until we're married. That's how I was raised, and the only downside is that people will point and laugh. So you gotta be good with that.
4. If that's too hard, we can sneak around for sex occassionally, but we must repent for not giving strong enough effort to our moral desire to be pure.
5. That's only if I luck into a virgin. shhh.

And for the 3rd time, I find myself at the end of a post that I don't remember the content.

But anyway, if they're the right girl/boy for you, you should not be denied love becasue of the pointing and snorting of low class babboons.

Perhaps you want the very best for your grandchildren, and being realistic, know life and success might be easier for white children.

Nothing gained is worth having unless it takes a bit of blood, some sweat and a few tears.

I would be more than happy to have a black grandchild.
You sound like the bigot to me Bud... it is time to move-on.

That goes both ways BTW. I was dating a lovely girl who was told not to because of my race. It is equally a bad, bigoted, racist and everything else people like to call "us"... all races are. It's just ok to say it about Caucasians. I have exactly 0 White guilt and never will. Never owned a slave, "held a brother down" or encouraged it in any way, so I have no reason to own that shit... get over it.

You beat me to it, rzkenrage. The phenomenon goes all ways. Why on earth focus on 'educated white people' and descendants of the British Empire? (Besides, many descendants of the British Empire are not white. ) It's very common that a particular race or ethnic group will not want their children to marry 'out'. Some groups will ostracize or disown children who don't choose a partner from within the group - or will simply choose their child's spouse for them, and you can bet what the spouse's background will be. This is a human tendency, not an 'educated white' tendency.

Bud, perhaps your children will be gay and grandchildren won't be an issue for you. Problem solved.

re: my previous post -- I really must stop posting under the influence. Why doesn't anyone ever warn me?

I don't think there's anything wrong with black grandparents hoping their kids are black, nor for Asian grandparents to hope their grandkids are Asiatic looking, or for <fill in the blank>, etc etc etc. Thanks to the white power/black power/whatever power morons, we have this idea that it's wrong to have a preference for your own race. It's not wrong, and it shouldn't be equated to "racism" in the negative sense.

If you don't care whether or not your kids look like "your people", that's great. Your dating options have widened dramatically. But don't feel guilty, and don't project negative racist intentions on others, if you or they have a different preference.

[ymmv][semi-rant]Not everything deserves or requires a 60s revolution-style backlash. I can't wait for the hippies/self-proclaimed radicals to get old enough to move to Florida and play shuffleboard, and stop making mountains out of molehills. You made your points, and some of them were good ones, but it's now time to feel something other than rebellious selfrighteousness for awhile.[/semi-rant][/ymmv]

Of course it's racism. If your kid is dating someone, getting along with them and there is nothing you don't like about them but their color, you are a dirty bigot, end of story.
