People should not see color but just the person they are with and what they feel for each other am i right or not????? tell me

i wasent brought up to be racist. my parents were married for 21yrs and it never made any sense. my dad is racist against mexcians and yea blacks... thats his freaken problem.. my dad was hardly ever there for us so my mom was both parents...

i see the person of who they are.

I WAS BROUGHT UP IN AN ALL WHITE TOWN IN NORTHERN NY AND MY FAMILY ALWAYS TOLD ME AND BELIEVED BLACKS SHOULD BE WITH BLACKS AND WHITES SHOULD BE WITH WHITES! ON THE OTHER HAND THAT MADE ME WONDER AND WANT TO EXPLORE! LETS JUST SAY I CHANGED MY MOMS OPINION ON IT WHEN I STARTED DATING BLACK MEN! LOL I HAVE DATED WHITE GUYS AND BLACK AND REALLY U R TOTALLY RIGHT ITS JUST SKIN IN MY EYES WE ALL HAVE HEARTS AND WE ALL HAVE NEEDS NO MATTER WHAT COLOR WE ARE! IF YOUR IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE SKIN COLOR IS NOT SOMETHING YOU LOOK AT YOU! ITS WHATS INSIDE NOT OUTSIDE!

^^ *takes cotton out of his hears*...

Anyway!...

I think feeling and connection are more important... although, a mixed race couple (any race(s)) should be prepared for some bumps that same race couples do not face... unfortunately this often comes from one of the families - which makes it doubly difficult...

P.S. good question!...

You are right, if chemistry is there or not, we should not be afraid of the color of our skin.

My first sweety was a black girl from school; we were in second grade, my Mother and Brandy's organized play dates where we would just play in the sandbox while our Moms would talk and have coffee.

This was also my first broken heart, Brandy's Father did not approve of his daughter "cavorting with a Honky" (those were his words). I cried that day as my Mother pulled me to the car and Brandy's Mother yelled at her husband, that Memory will always be burned in my mind.

Brandy and I stayed friends till High School, secretly hanging out... sort of funny, in the 80s I was a Rocker Hood and she was very much the Hip Hop Cheerleader and yet we managed to get our friends together to have a good time. I lost touch with Brandy after I dropped out but she showed me so much about being non-judgmental and seeing through to the people whom stand before us.

I don't see anything wrong with people dating other cultures or colors.

But there's some people who have no interest in it, and shouldn't be labeled rascist because they wouldn't date a black or Mexican.

The other aspect of it is you are physically attracted to whoever you are physically attracted to bottom line. Whether that is a Black, Asian, white, Martian, etc...The racial aspect is secondary to that deciding factor. We tend to gravitate to what we want from an aesthetic standpoint.

Race,colour or culture dosent bother me..what i find attractive about a person is the kind of heart they have..im colour bliind..

This might sounds a bit weird, especially in USA, but since i wasn't grown up here, I only saw black people on TV, until i was like 15yrs old. So after that, it fascinated me why and how racism developed where there are more than one type of people living among.
So after a while I understood, that racism really comes not from isolation ( I could call myself isolated), but lack of interest, fear and lack of empathy, lack of understanding.
We can go to the other spectrum, of having someone coming from an all-black background, never seen a white person, this black guy or woman simply wouldn't be pre-programmed what to think, perhaps fear first, then curiosity.
I believe that the biggest culprit still are the government and various organizations and agencies who continue to group people, based on their skin color, stuff like "black vote" and "white vote" and so on, to make people feel like they belong to a specific group instead of let them choose whatever way they want to be seen or known, because everyone is an individual and there are no same thinking person, regardless of color or origin.

I'm what is commonly refered to as a "half-breed" (half-Asian, half-Caucasian), and I've had to deal with my own share of racism growing up.

I've gotten it from the Blacks. I've gotten it from the Latinos. I've gotten it from Whites. Heck- I've even gotten it from Asians as well.

The bottom line here is that everyone's racist to some degree, whether they want to admit it or not. Just be prepared for whatever consequences you might need to deal with should you start popping out offspring of mixed-race, as they won't have much in the way of support or understanding from ANY ethnicity.

It doesn't matter... similar values but race? that is really not an issue. I don't see how that would matter at all.

I agree

However, the moment I read your post, I immediately noticed the colour of your skin.

If you hadn't said what you did, I probably wouldn't have paid any attention to it at all.

The very fact of mentioning something which was in the background, brings it to the forefront, at least for me.

Asking people not to see skin color is like asking them not to see fat. Some men like fat chicks, others don't. But, you wouldn't expect a man that found fat women unattractive to date one would you?

Focus on the girls that are into you and forget about the others.

There are people out there with different skin colours? Well, I'll be damned. Never ever noticed that B4. My father is, jokingly, a bigot. He has a name for just about every race out there. My mom on the other hand always pointed out that everyone is the same deep down inside. I took my moms way of thinking, I dont see race, creed or colour I just see the person.

While I'm on the subject, Sterotyping is also unacceptable. Wouldn't ya think?
