What do you think of black & white people being together?

I am engaged to the most amazing man i have ever met and i love him a lot, we have known one another for years as we grew up together. He treats me like a queen and i really cant stop thinking about him. When we where growing up he got involved with drug dealers and he became one also. He was very deep in that life and wanted us to get together but i refused to get involved with that life. He has now left that life behind to be with me and i cant believe how i lived without him. He is half black half Caucasian and i am Caucasian. Some of my 'friends' say we don't fit together and don't like him & think we should not be together. I just want to ask, do a lot of people think blacks and whites don't fit together and what do you think? Should it matter if you love someone so much? Thanks

I am half white and black also and my husband is white. We "fit together" perfectly. Some people stare but, it's not that uncommon these days to be in an interracial relationship. As long as your happy, who cares, and your friends should be happy for you! You might need new friends, it's hard for a relationship to last at all especially if the people around you are telling you it's no good. Congrats on your engagement!

His color is of no concern.
But, his colored past is of some concern.

I'd scrutinize hard about "who" he hangs out with to ensure that his colored past is really behind him.

No it should not matter, love has no color. I came to realize that in my last relationship. I am black and he is white. I just absolutely feel in love with him.

If you love somebody it shouldn't matter what colour they are, your friends are idiots to think you are not suited just because you have different skin colours. There is nothing at all wrong with it.

Race doesn't matter. I wouldn't be concerned about race. There are still some racist people out there, but you can easily choose not to associate with them. Most people accept interracial marriage, and don't even acknowledge a difference between same-race marriages. For those that don't, you don't need to associate with them or listen to their opinions on it. However, I'd still be very concerned about his past. It's easy to slip back into that sort of lifestyle. That may be the real reason why your friends have issues with the relationship, not simply because of race.

i am in a black and white relationship he is half black and half white but he's black side shows more so then his white I am full white. We have been together for five years and had to fight society the whole way through and still are fighting to be together. So only be with him if you're really in love with him. It is a fight even though people say they except it deep down inside most of them don't.


I tell it like it is

why are you even listening to other people commenting on such a trivial issue as his and your skin color?

sounds like you need new friends.

I'm glad he stopped living that lifestyle, and that you did not date him while he was running the streets. I don't care what race anyone dates. It is the business not mines. We people should be more concerned about is how we treat one another.

Girl, love your man, that's all that matters is that you love each other. Maybe you should get new friends that fit if they can't except that you are happy.

The only legitimate concerns are about the drug dealing and that former life. I could see them being skeptical about your being with him because of that.

As far as the interracial thing goes, it doesn't matter what others think fit, it's whether you fit with him on the levels necessary to sustain a healthy relationship.

I married the most wonderful woman in the world, and she's white. My family couldn't accept the fact that she treated me as if I could do no wrong, she loved me through all of my flaws and did me the honor of marrying me.

You do what is right for YOU, nothing else matters in the end, because when it boils down to it...it's just you two in the end anyway right?

I think maybe your friends don't think you and him are a good fit because of the type of person he is, not because of the color of his skin.

My question would be whether he is far enough away from the drug business that there is no danger to you from any of his past associates. Second, is his mind out of the drug business and culture. What kind of future is he planning for himself and for you?

Is it his skin color that your friends don't like, or something else about him? Or do your friends have their own skin problem?

I'd say if your believe he is a good man, you trust him, and you love him....then have a good life.

1.Leave the past in the past
2.Race doesn't matter,respect & love each other.
3.Keep your friends & family members out of your relationship!
4.If blacks & white doesn't fit then do any race fit? Yes, all
do belong together. Love the person & stop making race a issue 5. Enjoy your relationship stop questioning if you should continue to
love this man. Man first then African American.

why do you care what people think


Funkymae
They have gorgeous babiesssssssssssss :)

Ain't nobody's bidness but yours and his. I would be very concerned about his drug-dealing background - but not his skin color...but only you can decide where that lodges in your relationship...


Foxy Diva
Its no big deal to me! No it should not matter if you love someone. I think your friends have more of a problem with the lifestyle he once lived. I can understand why they are concerned.


teenie
That whole drug thing is scary and your crazy for being with him not because he is half black or white that shouldn't have anything to do with it but it does sorry to say. The people he use to associate himself with he is still friends with them i presume. They are all bad news and he will drag you down with him before you even know what's happening i seen it many times.

I think innerracial mixing brings on a host of other unforseen issue's that the children unfortunately will have to deal with. A great deal of it has to do with the region you live in but many people both black and white have an issue with mixing even if they are not honest enough to admit it to your face. For me it's like preference, not a hate thing or a racist thing where I think my race is superior to anothers, I just prefer white women and find them attractive so I stick to my race. Its ok if black women dont find me attractive I wouldnt call them or anyone who prefers blacks over whites a racist. Its your choice.


LaLALALA
I don't think you should mix race obviously there is a reason why there is white men and white women, black men and black women asian women and men and so forth.


roopa
I had an affair for 5 years and now we are getting engaged but he is whit and i am black will he stop loving me if i am married to him because of colour difference he he keeps on teasing me for colour so i am bit worried
