What have you gone through dating outside your race?

ps. please forgive my typos. typing with one hand

 

why did you say , you would never be the country club socialites? he is professional and successful so perhaps one day you will join a country club.

 

I belong to a country club. It wasn't suppose to be taken literally. The term country club crew is a "white thing". It refers to The Cinderella Story. Traditional Biff and Buffy and white picket fence. It is not about money or having things. It is letting go and accepting your own Cinderella Story and accepting that it is not traditional nor made for TV. It is Charlotte from sex and the city.

And remember, the question was about dealing with prejudice from others (which I do not experience).

 

As for stares, looks, and snide comments - I get more when I am with my black female friends than I get when I am with my boyfriend.

??? :roll:

 

that is awesome, i do as well. CH Cricket club, fun stuff.

 

Wow Daphne, I just read your post about what you call your own prejudices...very honest...I like that

For having a sister, a brother and an uncle married to white ppl, I can tell you that biracial kids always face trouble with other kidz...and they live in Europe, where it surely is less racist than it is here...

But if that were to stop you from loving ur man, having his kidz, then it would be the victory for these ppl who can`t understand that the only differenc is melanin in the skin!
The parties, the country club, all that stuff, I believe are smaller issues...much smaller

When I see my mixed-race nieces and nephews, the most beautiful kidz in the world, loved by their parents who made sure they would be color blind and understand that LOVE is the only thing that matters, nothing will even slow me down when it will come to having kidz with the WW I love!!...but I`ve got time for that

 

not less racist, there in Europe, just the pc police make laws against free speech. check out the riots in France last year, the fascist skins in britian, the neo nazis in germany, and racism against africans in Italy, Spain, Russia

 

I honestly DO think it's a hell of a lot worse in another nations as well, tuck.

 

having lived in other countries as well as the US, i dont think the US is worse than others. We just have the honesty to say it, while others fear the law if they tell the truth about how they feel

 

The honesty???
I am not sure where u have lived elsewhere Sardonic and Tucker...my family lives in Paris, u see tons of IR couples in the streets, nobody even blinks.
the riots recently occurred mostly bcoz of the arabs and the history of France mistreating them...colonialism turn out pretty bad between Algeria especially and France...but it didn`t have much to do with purely race...it was poor ppl, even white kidz, destroying cars to protest about their condition!

Racism in the US? lynching...separate bathrooms: Lady-Men-Colored...where else hav u seen that?
HOw many black GIs wanted to stay in France after world war I bcoz over there they were just "MEN" and not "Negroes"???

Here there is a facade...quotas, etc...but it is obvious that the BM is still confined to...well...being just that...a BLACK MAN!!...not just a man!!

I understand ur love for ur country, but it is worse here...even though much more subtile than it was in the past!!!

 

I haven't lived outside of the US, but from what I read in here (and I take your word for it, JREMINATOR and tuck) it doesn't make any difference whatsoever where you are, YOU ARE STILL A (young) BLACK MAN, period. (unsurprisingly)

 

tis true mate, tis true
