I’ve yet to understand why interracial dating/marriages/cohabitation are considered unethical and immoral to some people. Statistics show that as the years pass it’s becoming more widely accepted. 3/10 people say that it’s wrong to mix races. According to consensus in 2005 it’s estimated that seven percent of Americans were in interracial marriages.

Is it or is it not a sin? I’m not the most religious person so I can’t say for sure what the Bible says about it. However, I think the Bible is much like a poem, there are many ways to intemperate it. Miscegenation can cause problems because loved ones may not support the couple, society may frown upon it, and future children will be subject to teasing. Does this make it wrong? I don’t think so! I feel strongly about this subject. I’ve not married or dated out side of my race but that’s probably due to lack of opportunity. I grew up in a pretty much all white community so I’m amazed by my lack of racism.

Regardless of race we all have a heart, feelings, independent thinking, and a personality of our own. So why do some people act as though it’s equal as a human fornicating with an animal? I’m dumbfounded by the amount of disgust some people have over this topic. No matter what color skin we don we are make up of the same things on the inside. We all bleed red. It is true that you can’t help who you love and people are being punished for loving someone that others don’t find acceptable. I’m not sure what we can do to stop this except for education ourselves.

In my opinion I think stereotypes play a huge part in the negative connotations. Some people think black people are “ghetto” so that would make them an unacceptable suitor. I disagree. Because of what you hear about Detroit and New York city does not mean that these crimes and gangs are composed of a race other than whites. New York alone has estimated 2.8 million blacks and 12.5 million whites. Sounds like to me that the majority of violence there has to be from white folks. The majority of serial killers are white men from 20-30 years old. Sounds like to me that whites should be stereotyped as murders if blacks are thugs. Taking a look at some of the most famous serial killers just to prove my point. Jeffrey Dahmer, Ed Gein, Fritz Harrmann, Ted Bundy, Charles Manson, H.H. Holmes, Jack the Ripper, Zodiac killer, Albert Fish, and even one named Michael Swango (yes, I’m some how related).

I just wish that some day all racism would cease and the world could be much happier. Why can’t we learn to accept people for who they are? If a white woman dating a black man is wrong then is a German and American just as wrong? What about a brunette and a blonde? However, when celebrities do it we tend to over look it a little more. Seal married Heidi Klum and Tiger Woods is married to model Elin Nordegren and both couples have children together. If you were blind you would see past the color, sometimes I think our ability becomes our disability. I love people from all ethnic back grounds. I love whites, blacks, Hispanics, Asian, etc. On the inside we are all one person.
