Interracial Marriage and the Bible

[Drich]

-or-
Some people who are against interracial marriages are the literal product of one, and speak with 40+ years of experience. Maybe you should be little less quick to judge and not so hasty to assume that everyone not telling what you want to hear is a racist.

Maybe the whole point of this was to get a selfish person to stop thinking about themselves and start thinking about the two families they are leaving and the one they are about to create.

The kids will be race-less mongerals/mutts that while loved, will not truly fit in anywhere because they do not belong to any one race or culture. They will be constantly reminded just by looking at their family let alone friends or school that they are outsiders, unless again they are one side dominate their appearance.

Now couple all of what I said with a difference in theological world view, and you won't last a year with all of those differences in tact. One of you has to give up who they are and what makes them unique and be assimilated by the other or you have to thrive on fights. Other wise you will be called the racist when someone asks you what you think.

You're entitled to your opinion, though you should keep in mind that not every bi or multiracial individual experiences the level of confusion and angst you did as a child; particularly if they are products of interracial parents who come from the background/culture.

I haven't officially studied bi-racial people, but I do tend to seek them out and talk with them if and when time allows. (At parties social gatherings whatever) I think most I have spoken to all say they felt loved, but again really didn't belong to one culture or race or the other. (unless they really looked like one race or the other, or were just out and out the oblivious to everything type.)
Which for the most part we grow out of it effecting our lives, but at the same time across the board (again unless they look like one race or the other) we all share a brutal childhood. Especially if we went to public school, and did not look like one race or the other.

While for the most part the families involved did not shun the kids most of us know we did not get the same treatment as our 'cousins' did.

This is alot to put on a kid if they are not given the tools to deal and cope. It's one thing to be call a racial name if you are all Black or Japanese, because you can go back to a group of people who all share and absorb your pain/experience, your mother is like you your father, your cousins, your friends are all like you and you are and belong to a people.. Their is Heritage, their is tradition.. it's another when you are the only one of your kind, your mom is different, your dad is different and everyone is different.

Again this is asking alot for a kid to figure out for him or her self.. Just because mommy and daddy wanted to be different.
