Interracial Relationships

I don't see what some peoples problem is. If you love someone then thats it. It doesn't matter what they look like, what race they are or anything else for that matter!

In my opinion race has no bearing on the success of a relationship and therefore there is absolutely no reason why different race relationships should be considered "wrong". I have had relationships with people from a different race and it makes no difference as long as you care for each other.

I just checked out your myspace...you're awful.

my thoughts exactly

Just because I have an opinion that isn't necessarily politically correct, or the same view you yourself believe in, doesn't make it invalid or untrue. I'm still entitled to it, and judge people on an individual basis. I've said before, I personally don't have a problem with interracial relationships - but there are a lot of people where I live who do. The post being referred to was not a statement of my personal opinion, it was an observation of what I see happening around me every day (therefore, me stating other people's opinions).

Basically, a lot of people think things that aren't socially acceptable, they just don't have the balls to say it out loud the way I do - I couldn't care less what other people think of me, at least I'm not lying to myself or anybody else - everybody knows where they stand where I'm concerned because, unlike every other politically-correct, liberal-minded drone out there who's scared of getting called out for their beliefs, I'm honest.

"Politically Correct" is usually just a term bigots throw out there to shield themselves from criticism. It means nothing.

If you're so honest and ballsy, just admit that you're a racist. You already did on your myspace. Black scum and white scum...what about just plain old "scum"?

"Coon dole"? Coon? Do you think that word is joke? Just something to lightly throw around? I don't care how non-pc and free-thinking you are. A bigot is a bigot, no matter what buzzwords they try to hide behind.

what I was pointing out was that I don't hate people just because they're black. I hate them if they have a crappy attitude towards life, and in my personal experience, the majority of ethnic people do. What I was pointing out by my use of 'black scum' and 'white scum' was that to me, it doesn't matter what skin colour you have or what your ancestry is, if you're a useless bum, you're a useless bum. I've met white people who refuse to work to feed their families, who take drugs, who are generally not people I'd want to associate with, and I lump them in exactly the same category as I lump the alcoholic, petrol-sniffing, unemployed and uneducated black people I know. Ethnicity doesn't make a difference.
And as for 'coon dole' (because, to be honest, I don't know what the actual term for it is - I know what I get for being unemployed is Newstart Allowance, and it's a pittance compared to what Aborigines get), well, don't try and lie to me and say it's totally fair that black people get automatic welfare money for life, without having to do things like participate in 'Work for the Dole' programs or prove to the government that they're seeking full-time emplyment the way white people do - I just don't think that's fair. In fact, I think that's racist against white people. I'm as Australian as any black person - I was born here, raised here, and have never left this country. I have never embraced my Danish heritage, because as far as I'm concerned, I'm Australian. What makes an Aborigine any more Australian than me? The fact that their ancestors came over here and wiped out the race that was living here before they were? Yeah, you head me - at least the English settlers let the Aborigines live, instead of killing them all off the way Aborigines did to the previous race that resided here.
To that effect, why does the government cry 'equal rights for all' when the fact is that the Aborigines have far more rights than I do, simply because they're black and I'm white? Like I said, they get welfare without having to prove why they need it, they get practically free housing, they get all kinds of privileges and benefits, including being let off when they've committed a crime with a simple slap on the wrist, whereas a white person would get sent to jail or get a hefty fine, because the judge is scared of being labelled racist, and scared that the criminal's family will come after them (which they do).

If wanting EQUAL rights for everyone makes me racist, then yes, I'm a raving bigot, and proud of it.

^ Why is an Aboriginal 11 times mroe likely to be thrown into jail than a white? Umm, maybe because a huge number of them are raised in dysfunctional families and grow up to be thugs. The stereotype wouldn't exist without a reason.
And yeah, I know 'coon' is a highly offensive term. It's not like I go around saying it to random people - I call one of my best friends 'coon' all the time and he doesn't give a rats', because he knows I'm saying it in jest. It's like Americans not being allowed to call African-Americans the 'n' word - people still use the term, they just don't admit to it. I do.

To me, it's not about winning or losing - although obviously, even with all the extra benefits and special treatment Aborigines get, they're not taking advantage of the opportunities and are just wasting their lives. It's not about winning orlosing, it's about being equal, and what I see around me every day is by no means equal, everything is biased in favour of the natives. Which I don't think is fair, that's all I'm saying.

Then it's all about the environment they are set in. Being Aboriginal has nothing to do with why some of them are messed up. Put anyone of any race in that type of situation and there is going to be a high chance the results won't be so nice. Whatever problem you guys have over there I'm pretty sure both groups have a huge hand in why everything is fucked up. According to Wikipedia, Aboriginal Australians make up 2.5% of Australia's population. Is that true? If that is true I feel sorry for them. Jeez... 2.5 %!?

Is your friend a Aboriginal? If he is does he have any self respect? Some words just are dis-respectful no matter who says it or the way it's being used. God forbid I let ANYONE call me a ni**er. I'm trying to think of a way where 'coon' could be used in any type of funny or friendly way. But I've got nothing. And good for you for that you have the balls to say what ignorant people are thinking out loud because we really need to hear that. That's just wonderful.

End on End.:

If your daughter wanted to marry a black man, would you, deep in your heart of hearts, would you be 100% okay with that? Forget society, forget what your friends or anyone else would think. How would YOU feel?

If my daughter brought home a black man who had finished high school, had a job, didn't take drugs or use alcohol excessively, and treated her with the respect she deserved, then no, I would have no problem with her marrying someone like that.
However, if he was unemployed, living off welfare, used drugs or drank too much, gambled his money and ran with 'unsavoury' company, then yes, I don't care if he were black, white, purple or green, I'd lock her in her bedroom until she grew a brain. Her father, however... well, let's just say if you think I'm such a bigot, be glad you'll never hear his opinion on the issue.

And yes, the friend that I referred to is half-black, half-white, and he has the utmost respect for himself - but he's admitted himself that he would never touch a black girl as far as relationships go, because he thinks most people of his race are pathetic, whining slobs with no ambition. He's said it himself, and recently fathered a child with *gasp* a white girl. He doesn't have a problem with his friends calling him 'coon' or 'nigga', but if a stranger did it, he'd bust their ass, same as I don't care if he calls me 'cracker' in jest - but I get violent towards any other ethnic person who dares to speak to me that way. I don't go around calling every Aboriginal a 'coon' or other derogatory names - and you see African-Americans calling each other 'nigga' all the time like it's something to be proud of, so I don't see why anybody would care if it's a friend doing the same, knowing it's not serious at all.

And Sowing Season, I'd have to assume that the 2.5% of the population quoted would be solely counting the 'full-blooded' (of which there truthfully are none, the last full-blooded Aborigine died in the late 1800's, so everyone around here today has some white blood in them somewhere along the line) Aborigines - half-castes (for lack of a better word, I can't think of anything else to call it off the top of my head, forgive me for any offense), quarter-castes and the rest actually make up a relatively large part of the nation's population. Either that, or the statistics are incorrect because a lot of these people have never filled out a Census form so the government basically isn't aware of their existence. Fact is, people who have 1/16th Aboriginal blood (so, in my opinion, white by definition, I mean who cares if your great-grandfather on your dad's side was half-Aboriginal, it doesn't make you black) can still claim welfare and other benefits, so it's not like there's only a tiny, tiny percentage of people claiming unnecessary welfare and other benefits.

--Sure. I almost am. My boyfriend wasnts to be black. -idk. my bff jill?

I'm mixed race (Indo-Fijian) but I don't look it.

This topic is close to my heart becauseone of my exes dumped me after a dinner with her parents didn't go well because of my race.

Different racerealtionships are fine. There's nothing wrong with them; we are all human, after all. So it is not 'wrong' to be with a person of a differet reace. If you love each other, that's what really counts. And of course, the owrld is full of inconsiderate jerks, so yes, there probably are people who make fun of different race realtionships. And yes, I would date someone of a different race..if they were what I was looking for. =]

I'm honestly surprised this is even an issue. I don't think its wrong at all. The only thing that matters when people are dating is if they like each other. It shouldn't matter.

everyone wants to do that to their daughter. but despite what you think there are some black people who are pefectly fine. my boyfriend is puerto rician and domician and hes fine. he listens to rap and rock and hes one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet in your life.

you're being really racist even if you dont mean to be, you are. you're making it sound like every black person is a drug addict, and one welfare, but some people arent.you cant judge someone from where they come from intill you actually get to know them.

really, it shouldn't matter if you date someone who's a different race.
all that should matter is the amount of love in the relationship.
that's all that should ever matter.
having children isn't unsafe, they're just going to be of mixed race.
there is really no problem in having a mixed relationship.

and sowing season, I really agree with everything you said!

my best friend is half black, and I would never in a million years think of calling her the names that so many people used in hatred and ignorance for years.
It's disrespectful and not something anyone would use in a "friendly" way if they had any self-respect.
