Need advice on interracial dating (and my family don't approve of it). PLEASE help?

I'm a college sr. %26amp; graduate in May. I'm a white, 22 yr. old man. I grew up around tons of diff. people %26amp; cultures.But was NEVER SEEN AS A BAD ';DIFFERENT.'; I want to date interracially(mainly African Americans), but my parents don't agree with it. They are kinda racist, bc they think that white men %26amp; white women should only date each other (everyone with their own race). I TOTALLY DISAGREE because I am not attracted by color nor do I stop liking someone/being attracted to someone because she just happens to be of another skin tone. I'm heavily attracted to black and latin girls,whites don't do much for me. My mom says she don't care really if I dated interracially. She even told a black girl than wanted to go with me tha My stepdad is total opposite. He puts it down %26amp; we have had arguments about it in the past. The thing is, I still live with them (until May), but I want to start living my life my way now. What should I do? Go with my heart or wait a couple of more months? I'm tornNeed advice on interracial dating (and my family don't approve of it). PLEASE help?
Go with your heart. Its time for your family to move into this century and become a little more open-minded.Need advice on interracial dating (and my family don't approve of it). PLEASE help?
Your parents are from another planet. WE ARE all equal, and they have no right telling you who you should marry!


If you like someone and want to pursue something of the opposite race, then do it!


Im hispanic and my husband is white, I think we are perfect together!


Your old enough to make your own choices. If your parents dont approve ever, then thats THEIR fault. Not yours! Pursue your dreams and your life.
Oh my gosh sweetie! That is the sweetest thing ever. I think you should go with your heart. SCREW what anyone has 2 say about who you want to be with. Nobody has the right to be so closeminded and tell you that you shouldn't date anyone because of their color. I think you should tell your mom if she wants to be apart of your life that she needs to accept that you might be with a girl of another race and your stepdad needs to just shut up because he sounds like a real dumbazz! No disrespect to him, though. I am a black girl and I would be proud to have u az my boyfriend if i was in the situation. Because u want ur family to like your future girl or whatever. You need to keep your head up and do what you think is right. Don't let anyone tell you what is right for you, only you know that.





keep ur head up baby boy


xoxo


good luck
youre old enough to do what u want to do..ur not always going to make ur parents see eye to eye with u, but they should accept what u want to do with ur life.
if i were you i would wait until you live on your own. no need to cause issues with your parents.
How will they know who you're dating if you don't bring your date around? If they ask just tell them there is nobody special and that you're dating lots of girls.
so basically it's one of your parents .. in this case i would say go with heart cuz your mom doesnt care and your step father is just racist he's not taking the time to get to know these people for whether they are kind and caring and all that, if this were different i'd say listen to your parents cuz they always knows whats right even when you dont wanna believe them but they've been there and done that before. so if i were you i'd date who ever i wanted to date but if your parents tell you well i should say your mom tells you that the girl is bad news or whatever listen to her she's more than likely right.
go with your heart. its you that you need to make happy. your old enough to be your own man. if they can't be happy for you and what you want, then its time for you to move on and find what makes you happy and fulfills your life.you know how society is today, stand and hold fast to what you want and believe, all the best to ya.
out of sight,out of mind,i think you have to date whomever you like,just don't take em home.variety has alway's been the spice of life,no matter what color you are,we all bleed RED!every race has bad people as well as good ones.good luck!
Remember - The genetic difference between African Americans and Whites is only about a diference of 2-5% ( I don't recall the exact numbers). While raising mixed-racial children may be difficult, many interracial marriages find a way to teach their children about both parts of their heritage. Consider how well you get on with the other person, regardless of other's (even mine) opinion. Good luck....follow your heart, not other people's desires. (Ugh - I just read all the other answers, many agree - follow the heart)
GROW UP!!!!! Your're 22 years old! Do what feels right for YOU!
you are an adult now and have to do what is right for you.. that is part of becoming your own person and knowing yourself.





however, it would be a little different to me if you said you found a girl that you were in love with and she just happend to be black. that is when your love sees no color. when you say i want to date someone BECAUSE they are black or asian or latin-- whatever. then you ARE choosing them specifically for the color of there skin! therefore you DO see color.





don't take this the wrong way. I think that interracial relationships are very much accepted and almost the ';norm'; these days and you should do what makes you happy. but you should look for a woman that has qualities that you love. not just a skin complexion that you like.
To keep the peace at home, I'd say wait a few months. Your parents are your parents and they'll love you no matter what, but living with them is a totally different story. Keep the peace until you're out on your own, then as long as you're TRULY happy with your relationship(s), they'll eventually get over themselves and be happy for you.
sounds like you are doing just because it is a fad and not because you like black women.
Do what you feel is right in your heart. God loves us regardless of race, color, or gender. So, if you love God you must love others. Do what makes you happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your in a tough situation...torn between your heart and your parents.





My advice is: Life is to short to try and please everyone and if you find someone that treats you right and makes you happy...then who cares what color their skin is.


Hopefully in time your parents will see that you are truly happy and accept this, but until then and while you are living in their house you should probably avoid bringing that person to their house just out of respect to them and to her.





Good Luck in whatever you do...just make sure that YOU are happy :)
Lots of good advice for you. Leave you parents in the dark ages if that's were they want to stay.
i kno wat u mean my family is like that %26amp; i hate it very much i think its jus wrong but everyone has their own minds ya kno but i say go wit ur heart now life goes on they should jus want u to be happy if they don't want u to date sumone jus cuz of the skin tone than they don't want u to be happy ya kno...but yea
you just answered your own qustions. You graduate in may, concentrate on your school work until then. Also I can see that you dont want to make things difficult at home. Just dont bring these girls to your parents homes. If your dad says somthing about it just ignore him, dont let him get to you, he feels he is superior when you give into him by fighting. Dont worry about it and concentrate on school for a few more months!!!!
Go with your heart, dude! If you like someone, you like someone no matter what color they are. People are just people. If you are planning to leave their home in a few months anyway, they really cannot tell you what to do. You're an adult now. And a college graduate (congrats, btw!!). Live you life as you wish.


Good luck! :-)
Follow your heart. It's your life. You decide who you want to be with. You're on the right track.
Follow your heart. I would respect my parents also, because family is important. If your relationships fail you will always have family. You are young, and I think that you are in a phase right now......but follow your heart.
(Numbers 12:1) And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.





People often refer to the Bible for support that interracial relationship is wrong. Well, if Moses married a Ethiopian (Black) woman and God Blessed it, then why do people today have a problem with it?
