Black people who date interracially is suffering from a mental illness caused by lack of knowledge of them self or others. They are unfortunate lost souls and that is why they feel a pinging of guilt. They are part of those who have been culled because of their devious behavior and belong to the same category as gays, prostitutes, drug users, alcoholics and so on. I am saying this not from a personal feeling of vendetta aabut from an inside spirit of truth, for I am a guardian of a biracial 4 yr old child whose father is a white jew. I love that child very much and have deep regards for her black mother, I care about both of them and wish only the best for them, yet the truth is the truth. see www.pyramidoftruth.com The child I am talking about is a beautiful, intelligent, loving child. However that does not negate the facts. see www.pyramidoftruth.com

I have a problem with your comment because you are a fool to believe that just because black women or men enter into an interracial relationship there is something mentally wrong with them.....There is with you I am sorry to say. Alot of black folks haven't forgot about slavery but they are trying to overcome it. I am a white woman married to a black man for 11 years and have two beautiful, intelligent biracial children who will know where their family history comes from both on the white side and on the black side. Believe since being married to a black man and having his children I had to learn about black history. It hurts me to see what my ancestors did back in those days. They were brutal but that doesn't mean all white folks are. That was our ancestors hell we don't even know those fools so in saying how can you raise a biracial child and you have such hate. You may say you aren't hateful but you are because you are categorizing interracial relationships as the black person have a mental and have lack of knowledge about themselves or others. You know if you would open your eyes and let different races in you will see we are all the same but some of us have struggled. I have had to struggle to get where I am. Nothing was handed down to me on a silver platter.

To Taharqa's comment, are you serious with that statement? Just because a person goes outside their race doesn't mean that they have mental issues..and they lack knowledge of their history. It's their choosing whom they want to date or marry regardless of their ethicnity, we all are the same inside, blood, tissue ,and bones. I am 100% asian and born in the U.S. I have been married to a black man for 20 yrs and have 4 beautiful kids whom they all embrace both heritage.I had dated other men of other race,and it just so happen to be that the man I was going
to marry was black, not because of his skin color, because what we had in common.People who think like
you is the reason why there is still racism in this world. Feeling why the black man, women ,white man ,women, hispanic man, women etc,have to date outside their own race and what the other person's quality that they have that you don't. We had experienced racism early in our relationship mostly by black women, giving me the dirty looks and comments. Wondering why is he with that "chink" and not with me?? I view everyone with equal parts regardless what their skin color is. Life is too short to ponder why this why that.

@Tahaquara. U must b joking. U r the one that is stuck in history and you need to come out. What was done back then can not be changed,but we must move on. People can date and love whomever they choose and if you dont like it,you are the problem.

MY BLACK HUSBAND APPRECIATES THE GOOD LAUGH YOU JUST GAVE HIM! I AM WHITE AND HAPPILY MARRIED TO A BLACK MAN WITH A BI-RACIAL CHILD AND WE ARE ALSO RAISING MY BLACK NEPHEW. WE DATED LONG DISTANCE FOR 2 YEARS, SO DONT TELL ME ITS NOT LOVE. WE COULD HAVE CHOSEN DIFFERNET PEOPLE, BUT WE WERE AND ARE VERY MUCH IN LOVE 5 YEARS LATER. I RECENTLY GOT SUCH A WONDERFUL COMMENT FROM MY MOTHER IN LAW, SHE TOLD MY MOTHER THAT SHE RAISED ONE HELL OF A WOMAN! THATS RIGHT A WHITE WOMAN WHO IS STRONG ENOUGH TO RAISE HER SON, AND A NEPHEW WHO LOST HIS MOTHER, AND WHO HAS A HUSBAND WHO ADORES HER FOR IT! SO THAT MENTAL DISEASE, SELF HATE, SUBMISSIVE BS IS TIRED! EDUCATE YOURSELF ON THE WORD IGNORANT, IT SEEMS TO FIT YOU!

I have to concur with your comments! I just viewed an article where they were saying that African American women are 23 times likely to have aids than a white woman, and even far less for other races, i.e. Asian, Latinas, and others.
And, as a caveat African American women also have the highest numbers for the following STD's, gonorrhea, syphilis, cylimidia, and herpes with staggering numbers literally jumping off the charts! Interracial dating isn't what it's cracked up to be! It's dangerous out there! Especially, where African American women factor in.
