Interracial marriage

[spartanfan53]

White male, 56, recently married to the most beautiful black female, 38. Live in what used to be a very conservative city located in MI, but in the last 10 years or so it has become less so.
However even with that it seems the level of attention and comments we as a couple seem to generate has become very much an annoyance. Have any of you been involved or perhaps are currently involved in such a relationship and also have to del with such unwanted scrutiny?
Most of the comments and often associated dirty looks seem to come from white females. As much as you like to think that racism has lessened somewhat the fact is it hasn't at all.

White women get pissy because they're wondering what you're doing with a black girl when a white girl can do just as good of a job just like black women get pissed about black men dating white women.

As for the racism thing, you just gotta let it roll down your back but i know its hard.......i dated a girl that was half Hispanic & half German but didn't get any remarks thrown my way.

I went to an almost 80% black school & I had black girls interested but I never dated any, just not my cup of tea.

Racism will always be here.....its like the elephant in the room, no one talks about it anymore.

This your first day on the forum? :nohead:

we get it from time to time as well. my wife considers herself black but is often mistaken for latino so sometimes people make off color comments not realizing they are directly insulting my wife, kids, family, etc.

i mostly get comments from groups of young black dudes who are jealous that she chose me (she is pretty fine if i do say so myself) and looks from old while dudes who are afraid to say anything

HaHa....not talking about the forum as I see plenty of racist remarks thrown around here but I just observe.

I tell them to get their weight up up not their hate up

 

[MikeB]

many whites on here including loomis have said they opposed interracial relationships on here in the past

Many?
.....hmmm , I find that hard to believe....I'm sure you can back that bold claim up right?

 

[Defying]

Gtc another outlandish claim and you're gone

I'm sure he can justify this assertion.....he must have missed the last time I directly asked him a question, so we will just wait for him to answer this one.

End the thread!

Next time someone says something, just point and say "18 years younger brah...."

I am surprised it causes any reaction at all. In the 1970's it would have turned some heads but I see so many interracial couples on daily basis since moving back to the US that I would not even notice. Heck I see so many gay and lesbian couples nowadays I barely even notice that.

In Eastern Europe an interracial couple would still get a lot of stares and hostilty but in the US it is so common I cant believe anyone even notices at this point.

Every relationship I've been in has been interracial. But I'm the tan one. Haven't heard any comments in public. Surprisingly the first real racists I have met are on this site and they know who they are. Nothing you can do to stop people from saying stupid shit. You can confront them or just ignore it unless they get aggressive. If it's at a bar with drunks that people say things I'd go on with my day but if it's just strolling in the grocery store, definitely confront. Gl either way.

I'm not as old as Spartanfan who started this thread, but my girlfriend is also 18 years younger than I, and it's not always perfect because you have that question in the back of your mind what's going to happen later on as you both age.

As for interracial relationships, my current partner of 2.5 years is Hispanic, the one before her for 5 years was Hispanic (who was same age & went to school with the one I'm with now), the one before her was Puerto Rican, and the wife before than was half caucasian-half Hispanic. So obviously I have no issue with it personally...

Honest opinion?

I think one or more of the following:

A. The girl thinks because she is white, that she will have more power/control over the guy.

B. The girl wants to be different than everyone else and try to stand out.

Of course there's the option that they simply are more attracted to a color other than themselves, kind of like many of us are, but in this case you asked why we always see more white girls with black guys vs black girls with white guys, and I truly believe in SOME cases, option A or B above are those reasons.

As for not as many White guys/black girls combos, and speaking from experience, trust me the majority of black girls like white guys & would be with them if a particular white male also if had interest...
