I dont know why there is so much racism but it is true that it still exist however it is not pin pointed to only black people anymore it is directed to every race. I am a white female, my husband is a black man, and we have 2 bi racial daughters... I get the racism from my own race for " crossing over" and then from the black people ( females mostly ) for being with " their men." Why is this? Have any of you experienced this same racism, if so by what race. Why cant we just be happy without having to deal with the mean muggin.

We all have been through something that unites us all.

My husband is black, I am white. I have heard it all. Why are people like that? I guess because they want to feel better than other people. I always say try to talk to people and see where they are coming from, and try to get them to here your side. If that doesn't work, just ignore them. It isn't worth it to get upset over. And there are some people that there's just no talking to.

I totally agree with June and I could even understand someone of ignorance trying to persuade you to think things out when you first get involved, but after 2 children??? A little late for comments, isn't it?

O dont get me wrong... I find there ignornce amuzing .... I think that it is funny that people in this time could be so close minded but I was wondering if it was just the white / black thing or if it was in all races.

Yes, I've experienced it from both sides. But, to answer the above question...I don't think it's just the black/white couples that experience this. I think it's all races...I've seen people whisper, snicker, stare, etc. at white/hispanic couples...white/asian couples...I've seen it happen to everybody. You just gotta brush it off...don't let it get to you...just focus on your relationship...it always works for me! :)

As Long As There Are Interracial Couples - There Will Be Things Said. Some Good And Some Bad. Its All On How You Deal With It.

My Husband And I Really Dont Care What Others Think. You Cant Help Who You Fall In Love With.

I Am Proud To Say That I Have A Wonderful Husband Who Is A Great Father. He Respects Me, Encourages Me, Dreams With Me, Loves Me And Makes Me Complete. It Doesn't Matter What Color He Is - Im With Others When They Say - That Shouldnt Even Matter, But To Some It Does, Its On How They Treat You.

Hi, my husband is puerto rican and I'm white. I went to visit him recently and a lady standing in back of me was talking to me and she said that the guards there don't like it that the white men are in here they should do better for thier race. Well I guess she was assuming that my husband was white but he is not. This is my second marriage and my first husband was white and was a total jerk. I love the fact that my husband is puerto rican it gave me an insight on a different culture. A lot of people think that interracial relationships shouldn't happen.

My fiance is black, and I am white. I used to hate going out because of the stares and whispers, but he told me that we must be something special because we turn alot of heads. My son has had a hard time fitting in with white children because their mothers don't want them playing with the "black kid". That crushes me more than anything, I love my man and I wish everyone would just accpet that. We are no different than any other couple, we just happen to be different races. Thank you for addressing this topic.

I can definantly feel you on the kids issue. Like I said I have 2 daughters and my oldest couldnt look any more black if she tried. She doesnt look like she has a lick of white in her so when she tells kids that she wants them to come over and play then that is all cool until they realize that I am white. Same issue once again... She cant play with the white kids because the parents dont want there child playing with the " black kid" and the on the reverse side she cant play with the black kids because once the parents realize she is mixed and I am white then that is a big NO NO!!!

I love the comment that yall must be somethin special .... I love when people stare.... Actually when we b in public we put on a show.... Hey they wanna stare , give them somethin to look at.

But on some real stuff... were do bi racial kids fit in. Who are they suposta relate with? I have found for some reason that my daughter seems to have mostly black friends and I asked her why she only has black friends and she told me because the white kids wont play with her because she plays with the black girls too...

What are these parents teaching there kids?
It is 2006 and gay people are more excepted than we are!!!!

I have been lucky when it comes to my child having lots of people to play with, most of my friends also have bi-racial children so that has been a blessing. The white parents don't know how bad it hurts both children when they don't allow the kids to play together, and most of the black parents love my child, only some have a problem with me being white. I just tell my child that not everyone in the world is going to love you(no matter how good of a person you are) just be the best person you can be. All other people will get what's coming to them, what goes around comes around.

From what I know, racism is all races, and even within a single race, and, it's not just an american problem but that it's an international problem. In the same way we have our racism here along with our no racism going on here, because everybody ain't racist, that's how it is in other countries too -- they have their racism but that everyone in the country is not racist.

I agree with you... not everyone is racist however it is the several that are that make it hard. And not nessesarly on us as adults but our children. As adults we know that the actions of racism is pure ignorance but our children just feel left out. I think that it is a shame that there are parents out there that teach there children to hate but it is very real....

I understand that with our children my lil girl. i am so glad ai was raised in avery mixed house hold my grandma is blk a rican she instilled in me a very latin and blk background my other family is native american and white some other things but takes to long I know that no matter what iw ill be able to teach her from all aspects
