How do you guys feel about interracial dating?

I'm dating a black guy and I'm a 16 year old white girl. I always love to see interracial couples cause I think it's so sweet. I've been getting a lot of crap about dating a black guy. I've usually heard a lot of negative stuff said about when a white girl dates a black guy but now it's gotten pretty bad. Black girls give me the dirtiest look when I'm out in public with my boyfriend and I heard them call me white trash which I'm not at all. It's been getting bad lately. I love my boyfriend so much and I'm not gonna brake up with him just cause people hate to see whites dating blacks. How do you guys feel about interracial dating and how should I handle all of this criticism?

    People stare and make comments because interracial dating is relatively new. As late at the 1960's, it was illegal to date outside your race in some places. After the 1960's it took a long time before people even allowed interracial dating in public. A black man could be killed for dating a white woman in some places.

    Anything new & different will get stares and comments. Just ignore them and focus on your boyfriend. Getting to know him (and him getting to know you) is the important thing.

    Ignore them. They'll get over it.

    Here is the thing:

    If two people are genuinely in love, then they are in love. I am a big fan of love.

    But are most interracial relationships built on love? Is it built on equality? Are you really "in love" with your boyfriend? I have a hard time believing you are. Number one, you are 16. Number two, you omit all of the racism your black boyfriend is experiencing (you and I both know he is experiencing it) and only describe mistreatment YOU are experiencing at the hand of black girls. Why are you keeping silent about that? That speaks VOLUMES about you and how you view your boyfriend.

    White women in interracial relationships are reluctant to speak out against racism whites are committing against blacks. They don't mind telling people about the "dirty looks" THEY get and all the things they magnify in order to give the impression blacks are "practicing racism" against them. But do they say anything when their black SO experiences it? Do they help their black SO by telling them what whites talk about when no black people are around? Probably not. Why?

    Because white women in those relationships practice racism themselves. They are also racists. This 16 year old girl is also a racist. Deep down, she will defend her whiteness and white people over her boyfriend. We see this by the way she acts as if she is the ONLY one catching flack for being in the relationship she is in. She stays because of some misguided teenage rebellion, but once the element of rebellion fades, she'll leave. Now she will have that relationship under her belt to use as a TOOL whenever a black person correctly calls her a racist. She'll just say "hey, I'm not racist because I once dated a black person". It is ALL part of the white supremacist deception.

    In a white supremacist society, interracial relationships are risky because the relationships will never be looked at with respect and both spouses are not on an equal basis. I know they are not all like that but it seems like the majority are. Am I speaking crazy talk? I hope so. Nobody would want me to be wrong more than myself.

    But I don't think I am.

    It's your life, live it however you want to, nobody has the right to tell you how to live it, if you love a black guy, then so be it, and if you love a white man or even an asian man then so be it, and if black girls are giving you dirty looks, then give them the "I don't care look", and if they call you "white trash", then call them "black hoes", it's as simple as that. I'm a black guy, and I love what I love and I hate what I hate. I don't care what other people think of me. I will date a black girl or a white girl if I want to, I will even date a mexican girl or a mixed girl if I want to, it's my life, and I will live it however I want to.

    Source(s): I hate all kinds of racists.

    Just ignore them. I got dirty looks from Chinese guys when I was dating a hot Chinese girl lol. At first I was uncomfortable but later I realized they were jealous. I got death looks from blk girls too but I really didnt care. Eventually me and the girl broke up because of cultural differences. Interracial dating is cool but there are a lot of jealous folks that will give you a hard time. Good luck and e strong

    Some are into it and some are not. Then there are the ones where it takes that oh-so-special someone to date out of their race. Me, personally, I don't care. There are attractive girls in every race and ethnicity.

    It's like any other dating. It's not better, it's not worth... BUT I DO feel as if it HAS shown a positive edge considering how society was a while back. It's very accepted now.

    Personally I think mixing is good, I'm mixed between a few myself maybe that's why but yo... in the end date who you feel love you know?

    I really don't care as long as men don't use it as a way to try to annoy men of another race. That's just sad. Date a girl because you love her, not because you hate her brother/father.

    Just ignore them. Being happy while losers get upset about how happy you are is really enjoyable.

    I'm perfectly fine with it if its anyone else other than a Mexican girl doing it.

    I don't dislike any group of people. (Gay, black, Jewish w/e)

    However I'm not big on the idea of a beautiful Mexican woman with a black boy or a white boy (or any race) When they can preserve their culture & be with a strong Mexican warrior. BlackS & whites are pretty hypocritical coz they will sit back & bash mexican men but will have no problems having sex with Mexicana. To me that's wrong.

    So all In all I have no problems.

    Well, I like Interracial dating.. Those people probably do that because they feel that he should stick with the race.. Or you're stealing their man.. It could be probably because he's attractive.. Still it's pretty petty..

    I don't like to see white girls with black guys. But as a white guy I would like to be with an attractive black or Indian or asian woman. Is that prejudicial? Why yes it is. Same as why the black girls are giving you the snake eye. They want to keep their men to themselves and we white guys like to keep our white girls to ourselves. But looking at the big picture I think in the long run, 300 years if we all last that long blending of the races is a good thing.
