| I think Black-White is the hardest, due to the American history of slavery. I think the mixed religion is fine, as most families are not even church/mosque/synagogue attending families these days - article in post a few months ago about this. Judaism is NOT a race, it is a religion, just an FYI as a previous poster said it was a race - it isn't! In the end, love does not know race, religion, or ethnicity. At least, everlasting, REAL love. |

| Black Mom here. Wouldn't mind if my daughters married non-black men, but will be deeply disappointed if my son married a white woman. |

| Honestly if my AA son dated or married a white woman Id feel like I failed as a mother. He is in a majority white school though so on some level it is a recipe for disaster. I don't want him growing up believing that "white" is best. I also do not believe he would ever truly be accepted or respected by his in laws. Only tolerated. |

| I'm the second AA mom and a NP. Though I wholeheartedly agree with the first AA mom poster. I didn't want to answer for her. My "failure as a mom" opinion is my own. |

#1- I plan for my son to be a success in life and I'd like a black woman to find an equitable mate in him. #2-I doubt if a white woman would feel comfortable in our family. I was raised poor and while not uncouth, we are "black". LOL In family settings, we can get loud, we love to tell jokes and just have a good old time. It's highly likely that a white woman would feel like a fish out of water around us and I'd rather have a DIL that I gel with instead of forcing something with someone who is not naturally at ease with us. |

I'm the first AA Mom and I agree with your viewpoint as well. I also believe that my son will be tolerated, not truly accepted and I don't want him having to jump through hoops for acceptance. |

Me three. I'm an AA mom and would also feel as a failure and that my son is rejecting me. |

White Mom of an only son.
I would care only if my son dated someone who was bigoted or ultra religious. It does not matter what race or religion she is. I want him to find someone who can roll with the punches and let him be his true self. For all of you Muslim haters- educate yoursef. Muslims are by and large very peaceful people. |

Well the good news is, the statistics show that your kids don't give a flying crap what you think and will date who they like. Get ready to accept your mixed-race grandkids.
