I am in marriage that some may view as interracial (American/Haitian). I can not be against it. I do have a negative feeling about Caucasians and those of other ethnicities in relationships. I know that this makes me appear as a hypocrite, but I can not help it. I was raised to see interracial relationships as a "bad thing". It is the history that I have learned about Caucasians that makes me feel that they are not fit to be with anyone else except themselves. My blood flows with various traces of caucasians (Irish, Dutch, English, etc.), but my heart feels biased. I will also mention that in my past, I have dated Caucasian males. It is crazy, I know, but I am Pro and Anti.

If u want to discover lots of things, try an interacial relationship. It can teach u more about yourself but it should be never searched, it must be natural feeling. that way...most of the relationships i had with other races were due to hasard...not controlled...just feelings...meeting on campus...etc...
In the other side, some people use to say..."i do not want to date this or that and sometimes their own country fellows"...that's bullshit...love is a matter of feeling not complexes

I don’t have any problem with interracial relationships; to me they are harder to deal with. But as long as the couple is going to stick to it no matter what—more power to them. At the same time other people need to realize that they are just two people who happen to be in love, not trying to change the world view on interracial relationships. Family may not agree, but they will be okay the next day. Or why can’t they just approve since their children are happy? Then again you should have more respect for your family…Phew!... I like to keep things simple!
It's true that interracial relationships can teach you about another person's culture, it can also weaken a person’s background and culture. Do you agree or not?

Karizmua,

How do you feel that an interrational relationship can weaken a person's background or culture? That is very interesting. I have never thought of it in such a way. My culture for my own background may have weakened because of my interest in the Haitian culture. I try to create a balance by educating myself as much as possible, but I do understand what you mean. My marriage has taught me many things about the Haitian culture already and await the many more things that I have to learn.

I guess my retort on this topic is greatly anticipated since everyone knows that I have experienced both ends of the spectrum (Haitian/Haitian and Haitian/Italian), but I will convey my opinion at a later time. I have not been myself lately and the reason for this is that I am with child (4months, I think) and the little scrounger is sucking everything out of me including my faculty to think. By spring, next year, I’ll be MOI again. (lol)

Warning: My answer to this post will be long and I will do it in 2 sets.

I think that it maybe a bit better if you are in an inter-ethnic or and interracial relationship to not live too close to other family members. live at least 10 minutes away unless these family members are really nice and well-educated. Unfortunately, when you marry someone you marry the family members too.
1) I frankly believe that there should be more interaction/relationship(s) between Haitians/African Americans and Also Jamaicans/Haitians Jamaicans/African Americans, etc.
Our cultures are very different, but we have a lot, a lot in common and if love and compatibility are present real strength will be born. We have so much that we can learn from one another. I think that sooner or later black people will realize that we can only win/grow/gain by getting together. I have always said that African Americans/Haitians/Jamaicans etc, we cannot afford to dislike one another. Sooner or later black politicians and sociologists will realize that and will discuss it openly.
To Be continued >>>>>>

2) Now with other races such as white I am pro. I tend to believe that when a white person is a good human being, he/she is a really good H. Being. You will learn a lot too, but do not fool yourself there is a price to pay. And the price to pay can be bigger than other relationships. Your roots, history, your ... views and your "causes" can be so different that there things you may not be able to teach your children. Blacks and Whites have had a lot of "beef" between them since day one.

3) Someone in the family will be a Supremacist, I don't care what you do. And when that someone falls out with you that disease called supremacy will push him/her to tell you that your butt is black or your butt is white.

4) There are many places where your W. partner will fit and you simply will not quite fit and vice-versa. There are places where you will not be sure whether you fit or not. I feel like with Haitians, Jamaicans, African Americans, if they do not like me, chances are I will know on the spot. I feel totally at home among other blacks. The only reason I am a little bit more pro blacks/blacks is an issue of trust or dependability. History and my personal experience tell me that I can rely a bit more on my own people. With other races one day you wake up and they might be gone. 5) Now, for blacks who keep saying that if they were Tiger Woods they would not marry a white woman, to me that is bull (B. S.)!! Never judge people until you walk 5 miles in their shoes.
