How is it self-hating to suggest that interracial kids look better than everyone else? Biracial kids are better than everyone else. Better than White people, Black people, Asian people, Arab people, Aliens, everyone. How could they not be? We make them.
If I am certain of one thing, it is that my kids will be better looking, smarter, more talented and more accomplished than anyone who has ever gone before them in either family. They will be superhuman beings, loved beyond any reason, and I can't wait to meet them.
Well said, would add rep if I could, more people need to read this link. http://www.pbs.org/race/000_General/000_00-Home.htm
In a sense it is. Bi racial children are less likely to get diseases that plague either race like sickle cell or melanoma. They are likely to be better looking, its rare when I see a little half and half that's not, and they are more likely to have a better understanding of both cultural worlds.
Come on, guys. This "bi-racial is better" thing smacks of self-hate, and I don't throw that term around loosely. This suggests to me that you think less of yourself today if your future bi-racial kids are gonna be so much better than boring, old mono-racial you, and it will take the genes of your partner outside your own race to do it. These are products of love we are talking about, not a Eugenics experiment. You sound like dark-skinned sistas who want a white man just so they can have "good-hair babies."
Tell me Karma, - If that is selfhatred, then dating ww is also self-hatred.. I fail to see the difference.. its simply just a preference, a taste of sort. I just dont see the self-hatred in it, I fail. I simply dont get that. If I think another woman is better looking than me, do I hate myself?
We're not talking about a preference in mate, we're talking about the notion that somehow your offspring will be "superior" if your partner/mate is of another race. If a white man had a kid with an Asian woman and proclaimed their child would be superior strictly on the basis of their genes together (and we know how good Asians are in math and science...stereotype) there would be an uproar.
I agree with you fg. I think being able to recognize strength in others don't make you weak. Karma in a sense I do think a multi racial offspring will be better because it has more to bring to the table genetically. If anything but for the mere fact they'll have understanding of both races that I personally don't posess. PHP: [LEFT][CENTER][/CENTER][/LEFT]
:smt023 I think this all goes back to what you find attractive. I don't think that bi-racial children are necessarily more beautiful than non-biracial children. I've seen some beautiful children who were and some who weren't.
I dont know... for me, it seems any mixing between different ethinicities bring offspring that in average are better etc That may not nessesarily be true but it just seems like that to me, any mix. I always thought of it as a typical genetic issue. Its is better for the offspring to have parents with as less similarities in their DNA as possible. I never thought of it as specifically bm/ww but as a general statement any mix. So no, I wouldnt be offended if that happend as I am looking at the mix per so, not what mix. Im going out on a limb here and will rant (just thinking out loud - doing the Petty devils advocate thingy): Maybe certain mixes bring better looking, or more intelligent or whatever?? That is what they do with cats and dogs, figuring out what breeds mated with what breed will bring the best guard dog, best familydog, certain body traits, looks etc... what say you can not do the same in humans. In reality, we are just another animal. Ok, devils advocate off: I am not suggesting experiments should be done in humans and I dont nessesarily subscribe to that thought - its just an argument to ponder in this. If it works in other animals, why not humans? Now, I dont know of any study that has looked at biracial kids of any mix, and if they have traits of X and Y, I doubt that would be very well recieved. It would be a bit odd. Now, breeding people like that to bring out certain traiss would be a horrible nightmarish thing that scares me to death (although you today with artificial insemination/fertility clinics is pretty close to that). But for arguments sake, I thought it be an interresting discussion point.
I have seen two ugly-ass black and white people make a beautiful bi-racial kid, but I wouldn't go around suggesting that somehow the kid is "superior," that sounds like Nazi Master Race talk to me. If a white guy were to suggest such a thing the PC Police would come down on him like the Feds into Waco. PS: Also Rain Pryor shows that a bi-racial union doesn't always produce pretty kids :smt043
That is the scary part. I thought about it and before someone jumps down my throat. I wnated to explain where I was going. No I dont believe in what I wrote - I just think its an interesting discussion point. Fact is that humans have not been around long enough to have developed subspecies such as cats and dogs e.g. Diversity in your parents gense are an advantage but back in the day, all you had to do, is to leave your village before procreating. Maybe is just more visible in mixed people, its more aparent?. Fact is that two wp or two bp can achive the same, providing a wider variety of a genepool (we do come from all corners of the world) to their offspring that a mixed couple can.... I just think its more visible, its an illusion of sorts... But I think its a very interresting discussion point.
Oooh her Mama was a Jewish woman. That scares me! Somewhat off, yet on topic: I'd like to also add that you can see two ugly ass people of the same race make a beautiful baby. Makes you wonder how the hell did they produce that?
We were never meant to segregate ourselves. Humanity thrives when we mate with people of differing features. Look what happens when you mate a brother and sister. You put together two people with heritage that hasn't crossed before, and you get a far greater result. It's not my husband's genes or mine that will make our kids better than we. It's combining two awesomes to make a superawesome.
