    it's a hard situation...maybe you could make friends with someone black and show to your husband that he's a great person, fun to be around and not going to rob you:)

    Chances are your husband was this way before you married him. I hope you didn't marry him in the hopes that he would change. Sometimes we women think that "our love will change him." Sadly, it doesn't work that way. People only change when they see a need for change and want to change. You,and no one else for that matter, can make your husband change his mind about Black men. You'll just have to deal with it.

    IMO your husband isn't a racist yet he's a bigot. there's a distinction. the version is that he would not bodily or financially harm others because of the fact of his suggestions. Being a racist is a criminal offense yet being a bigot isn't. If he's criticizing your blacker 0.5 then it sort of feels to me he likes the whiter traits which you have. in case you elect for to be black in simple terms %. a series of buddies to circulate out and be black with. once you're with him act whiter. it could sound stupid yet no longer virtually as stupid as giving up on a guy you meant to spend your existence with in simple terms because of the fact he thinks in a various way. it is such as you giving up on him because of the fact he desires to be a Libertarian and you an autonomous. Love him for his stable traits and attempt to enable the "undesirable" ones slide. it is my suggestion.

    you know.. you married him as he was.. why do you want to try to change him ?.. why is it that a lot of woman want to always change their husband despite the fact that they married them the way they are.... 1. you should have asked that to your husband before you married him if it bothers you that much.. 2. it's never too late to ask... ask away and see what he has to say...

    I found that a lot of racism these day has just been thought down the generations... a lot of people don't know why.. they just do....

    you can't change your husband... he's the way he is maybe he's had bad experiences...

    Why is it his responsibility to give anyone a chance?

    Consider the population ratio of the US and then consider the ratio of those of different races that are incarcerated.

    Those people all had the same chance as anyone else..........they made their choices.

    As free People we are free to choose who we like and want to associate with and those who we don't want to associate with.

    Most folks are growing weary of the Victim Game..........

    New Orleans after Katrina is a prime example............It was the governments fault..............BS.......it was the inept mayor of NO that let idle school buses sit while thousands of residents waited for a leader to help them..........

    Yes! It sounds like he is very prejudice. You may start by telling him some stories where people (of different races – not necessarily black) have been mistreated, underestimated or simply misjudged due to the color of their skin.

    Ask him his opinion. Then, ask him how he would feel is he was judge only by the color of his skin or physical appearance.

    Remind him, that, to God, all human being are valuable, no matter what color their skin is.

    You can't change him. Just think if you have children they will grow to be racist. Just like their dad.
