What other truths are there about IR?

 

The biggest truth about IRRs that too many people don't get is that we're no different than any other relationship. Honestly I hate sometimes that people choose to segregate our relationships just because they're interracial. As if we love/behave/act/react differently than a same race couple. Love is love. Period.

 

Exactly....no different than others bit becausr of this world it is treated diffrrent due to the rynamics. I think it makes others feel uncomfortable too

 

I pity these folks. Their point of view on IR was shaped by family members who were prejudiced in the first place. The disapproval is especially directed at black men moreso than any other man of another race.

 

Because we are some bad mofos

 

In a good or bad way?

 

I think good. When nobody is hating on you, you're doing something wrong.

 

Thats true....i see the fact that there are more articles talking IR then the more common its becoming....i think thats that people are fearing...

 

You know its uncomfortable for them. They have to look at it with a microscope.

 

Because our relationships aren't viewed as relationships. They're viewed as outward expressions of some inner sexual perversion, unnatural, abnormal, freaks of nature.

 

As well as societal insurrection and rebellion. People who are really and truly in love do flaunt that fact. It's them against the world. IRRs do face many challenges and society unintentionally and intentionally reacts to those in IRRs.

 

Exactly. It's disrespectful at a minimum.

God that's so sad It'll be a lovely day when our love is viewed no different than anyone else's. Same goes for every other love that falls outside the societal "norm". You'd think in 2014 we'd be further along.

 

I've never understood why some choose to make such a big deal out of IR. I can say that in the past (and I regret my decision)... I was interested in IR, but avoided them (except hispanic women) because I just didn't want to deal with the problems (from others) that could show up with IR. The truth is that I ended up dealing with those same issues when I was dating hispanic women.

I guess I just needed to mature some more. Nowadays... I have no problem with setting folks straight if necessary. While I'll ignore ignorant statements from random people, but I'm more than ready for any friends or family members who are close-minded enough to cross that line. My position has always been that my friends/family will never influence my relationships, and vice-versa.

 

like i stated there are a lot of dynamics on it.
i was listening to npr and they were discussing yhe racial messages in the movie "annie"

 

The more things change...
