The racism is strong with this one.

LA, here's a more level-headed response from another poster. Hopefully everyone here is able to understand the concept that he articulates.

It is more about class and education than race. Mixed relationships are far less objectionable when the African-American half is not "Ghetto" and has clear communication skills and career objectives. I know mixed couples whom make a wonderful couple; mutually supportive and respectful of each other. However, when you bring a strong urban hip-hop, or ghetto element into the mix it turns my stomach sour. For the record if my sister was seeing a hard-core redneck, camo wearing bigot I would also object.

Clearly this person equates "urban hip hop elements" as being "thuggish & gangsta". I know plenty of people of all races who can be considered urban /hip hop and they don't articulate or present themselves in an ignorant ghetto/thuggish fashion.
 
He isn't black, he's mixed.

I have a white mother and black father. I consider myself mixed. Saying a guy like him or me is black is denying the white blood in us. This isn't Jim Crow, we don't have separate water fountains in 2011. I think the white females would be annoyed at the blacks on here always saying every mixed race person is black.

And this is why they publish these kinds of articles involving these kinds of couples.

They know the readers will go nuts (as well as the fact that the story might go viral) and it generates a lot of traffic to their website.

People like drama.

I consider you simply human, since all humans have a common source whether it is Adam and Eve, or the evolutionary model, we are all part of one race which is the human race. All peoples on earth is just variations of the original model. Needless to say, i understand your political point.

If your ass can get lynched right next to me in the early 1900's, you're black.

But, i'll say this, if that brotha looked like Wesley Snipes, the Yahoo server would crash under all the racism. Remember Miss Ireland?
 
Always bugs the hell out of me how some white people and some mixed individuals will act like Blacks are the ones who came up with and enforce the one drop rule in society.

Exactly. Also keep in mind, the reason black people have always been quick to accept people of mixed parentage as one of our own was that back in the day the only place mulattos (illegitimate children of slave owners) could live were with black slaves on the plantation unless they could pass and even then it wouldn't be long before their true heritage gets sussed out. So to see mixed act offended if they're considered black annoys me. Because if they need support from any group, they always turn to black folk i.e Barack Obama, Halle Berry, Tiger Woods, Mariah Carey
etc

But the remarks are as telling about how they view ww as they are about their views on bm. That's the core of the opposition in my view, a desire to control others.

I hear and agree with what you are saying. However, I think when people say that on this forum, it's more about acknowledging the social reality in this country, not about subscribing to the one-drop rule or something. And a large part of the opposition to IR in society is based on these ridiculous antebellum-era ideas.

My thoughts exactly. We're not here arguing about relative percentages of DNA, but simply acknowledging a social (read: NOT biological or scientific) reality.

i consider myself human as well, but if were going to box people up, the correct classification to box someone like myself up would be mixed race. for a mixed person to claim only one part of themselves and run with that is stupid and foolish imo.

at the end of the day, im as much white as i am black. what annoys me is the blacks on here who say i can only be black, and that i have to dismiss my whiteness. hypocritical you would see that type of message on a site with white females.

This isnt the early 1900's, this is 2011. Wake up. The world isn't out to get you, and things arnt as simple as black and white anymore.

There is no one drop rule in society in 2011. That's a mental block in your head. I haven't had a white come up to me and ask if I'm black in years. If they ask what I am, I tell them I'm mixed.

Just remember this though. You want to marry a white woman. Your going to have kids. Those kids are going to be mixed like me. You can pretend there black and deny any whiteness they have, or you can wake up and understand just how large the mixed community is in 2011 and introduce him to other mixed kids, instead of forcing him to only identify his blackness.

Your mindset is an insult to white women. Yea, lets just not even recognize the kids whiteness. One drop society, your black son. What idiotic logic.

Back in the day. 2011 my friend. It's not back in the day. Things change. You have this back in the day mindset. That's a mental block, that doesn't allow you to recognize that 2011 is not the same as back in the day.

Then what are you doing on this site then? Since according to yourself, you aren't black. Maybe you should go to Mulatto Men White Women.com
