Quote From: nonajtI am black and born in America but my family is from Jamaica. I feel that some black Americans have a chip on their shoulders and have too many hangups regarding race and where we are from. We are all from the human race and should leave it at that. If a person thinks they are less than another race because of what happened in the past and what continues to happen in the present, then the racist still wins. I applaude interracial relationships because that brings us closer together as human beings, not black, white, etc.
Hi there,
I am a single (white) Australian mother of 4 beautiful girls. aged 10,6,5 and 1 years old.....I have to say that I think there is nothing wrong with interracial relationships. My 1 year old daughter is the product of one and she is the most wonderful blessing and addition to our family.
Although I am no longer with her father due to abusive behaviour patterns that my partner displayed while I was with him....it was a choice of stay and take the abuse and possibly loose my child or flee back to my own country to continue with the pregnancy, well all is well that ends well they say.....I do find it surprising that even in todays society where I believed we had come such a long way what with the acceptance of interracial relationships that I have been taken aback at how many times I have had a women in the shops ask me if the little girl that I was holding was mine or was she adopted..?????
I might be able to see why u might "ask yourself" such a question when she is the only dark skinned child amongst my 2 blondes and one brunnette with fair skin. But to have the courage to just come out and ask a mother such a question in this day and age is just plain silly.... At least you could have the intelligence to assume that the possiblity was that the "new father" was black (African American) and that she wasn't something that I purchased over the counter!!!!
What do people think? That black is the new fashion must have....thanks to Angelina Jolie and Madonna!!!!!!!
Mistified.....
