This question may never have a real answer but I thought it is worth asking.Why do people have a hard time with black and white relationships? I thought our world can handle anything!?
It seems that throughout history there has always been conflict of mixed race relations. There will always be a black and white conflict.
(This could be greek and french too! I think it is just a difference between people and attitudes) People born in the early 1900's had prejudice against white anglo's and Indians, just as today we are ending an era of prejudice against black and white and now it seems middle easterners are the new black or white. This actually depends on which side of the coin you are on. But as long as we have people segregating themselves in society we will always have conflict in mixed race or nationalities. Examples: Holidays or events that single out a particular culture or offer better circumstances because of ones skin color should be discontinued. This would be the beginning of all living beings wearing blinders and accepting one another for whom they are.
The world can handle only what it has been taught to handle. Most of our prejudices have been taught. Ever notice young children? They do not notice nor care about differences of skin or race. It is only after they have matured and can understand their parents prejudices that the children mold into judgements.Why do people have a hard time with black and white relationships?

It just depends on where you are. I know of many regions or cities where it's nothing to see interracial couples.
That being said, many of the ones who have a problem with it are often either bigoted whites, or jealous blacks. I've heard it said many times that there are so few 'good' black men out there, it angers many black women to see them with white women. On the other hand, white men with black women conjures old images of white masters taking advantage of the female slaves.
I guess we still have a ways to go in this society, but I still think we have come a long way.
I have dated white, black, and hispanic, so obviously it isn't an issue to me.
Mainly because people are bigoted and racist
it is personal for them but not for me. Only friendship with other race for me. Im married to a white man.
It does? Only racist/prejudice f*cks have problems with someone else because of their skin color..so freakin stupid.
