HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION:
If your parents did not approve of your fiance because he or she was of a different race or religion, would you still marry that person?? Would you fight for your fiance or would you give up because of your parents??

Just one thing to say.... love knows no color.... if you love that person then you fight for it. Your parents will eventually get over it if they want to keep their relationship with you strong and healthy. You can't help who your heart falls in love with and you shouldn't have to worry about what other people think.

Of course I would. I love my parents to death, but when they are wrong, they're wrong. Period. End of story. If this were the case, there wouldn't be a fight, she's my fiance because I love her, accept it or nice knowing ya!

i agree...jbeal...

Been there, done that. Not because of race/religion, but because of socio-economic background. Made them change their minds, they ended up loving him, and yep, I ended up leaving him.....go figure.....

Your parents don't have to live with him..you do..make your own choices

It sucks, I and I am disabled and noone seems to like that idea.

I was going to post my view on this, but then I read Tomokun's post, and realized I couldn't agree more with how he put it. That's my feeling exactly.

HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION: The truth is out there and my responce is " It doesn't matter what is on the outside, or what a person is, but what is on the inside and I don't care what people would say about my lady. Sorry, can't ask my parents, as they are with the lord.

Funny how our parents raise us to be independent and make choices on our own. They want to see you be happy in life and do good have a family and pass on the things you have learned as well.

But when we make our choices that make us happy regardless of what theya are for in the long run the only one that must live with our choices are us. I be damn if they don't step in and act like your 5 and want it there way or no way. And actually make you question your own choices. Go figure.

I raised my kids to be independent and to think on there own. With the knowledge your choices are yours and only yours you and no one else must live with the choices you make. If you need me I will always be here if you ask my opinion I don't have a problem giving it to you. BUT............. I will not judge you on your choices or what you do or who you chose to do it with. My love will always remain. I might not agree with what you did or gonna do but then that works both ways I have made choices in my life I was not proud of my self but we all must be able to make those choice and not be looked down upon by the ones that mean the most to us in our lives. Both of my kids know very well how I feel about this and they know I will not say I TOLD YOU SO! Instead I usually say humm yep it sucks but it was a leason you learned that is if it did not work out and you will know better next time lmao Now I will tell them at first what could go wrong and all but still there choice. Besides it don't matter what they do in life I will always love them the same might not understand them but the love is still there.

hey does that mean yer only a little over half evil

I'd still marry them..its MY happiness that matters..why should a child live to please their parents..as long as the guy/girl is good for you and you are good for them..skin color doesn't matter!

I'd still marry them. Nobody (not even parents) have a right to tell you whom you should be with. Too many people have racial hang ups and well, to me that is just stupid. Its 2007 not the mid 1800's people need to get a life and worry about more important things.

There are so many "hang ups" that people have it's just totally ridiculous..race..religion..if the person has a disability or whatever..etc. I had a boyfriend once that I was going to marry until his racist mother talked him out of it because he's a mama's boy..lol. Now the big "hang up" people have with me is my "DIFFERENT-ability"..Seems that most guys are SO scared that they might have to do a little something for me that they don't talk to me long enough to find out just what I can and CAN'T do! Ok..I'm done..I won't rant..yet!

why would i care if someone didnt like her. its thier problen. not mine or hers. yup. that how i roll.

My parents don't dictate who I date...NOR who I marry...They would either be tolerant and polite to him...even if they didn't like him...OR I just would stay away from them...That's one thing I can't stand is people who are like that!!!!!!!!

it's my life i'll marry my choice

Everyone does agree then...prejudice sucks...even when it comes from your own parents....just amazes me that people can be ignorant like that to other people...i have seen a lot of prejudice in my life too..but i do have to say that i live on an island where it is a "melting pot" of different races...so we dont have TOO much of that here...we DO HAVE IT...but not as bad as I have heard in the other states....thanks for everyones replies....just wannted to hear...

prejudice does suck and there will always be people on earth that feel that way for no reason but don't lose hope. segregation in the united states didn't happen til the mid 50's and the battle was still being fought in the mid 60's. it takes time for an ideal to die but with each passing generation it doesn't seem to make as much sense as it used to. hopefully the best has yet to come.
