I had an interesting conversation with my friend not to long ago.
She is a white female. We were discussing children and if they
could be raised normal being mixed(white and black). Can they
take both cultures and embrace both without hesitation. Well
I think anything is possible if the child is taught every aspect
of their heritage whether black, white, Mexican. I think it starts
with the parents if you have loving and understanding parents who
are not afraid to share this information with the child then what's
wrong with it. But my friend also had a very, very good point. The
parents can teach the children all the information there little heads
can consume but when it comes to peers its a bit harder. On this
particular topic I agree. I have seen where white children don't think
your white enough and black children don't think your black enough.
But in the same token isn't this what makes us the people we become.
Isn't this character building no matter what color? I'd like to hear everyone
else's thoughts on this.

Inter racial dating is starting to become more and more apparent. Every day I see a different race/culture come together. There are some many things I wander about in regards
to inter racial dating. Like what about the rest of the family?

You can profess your love to the other person but are our families so quick to like the person you are dating? I would have to say I am sure dating outside your race/culture is a lot easier now then say 30 years ago. I wonder.....I see a lot of the stares now, then I did as a young kid. I would like to pose a question to all who reading.

Is dating outside your race becoming easier or in fact harder now a days?
