[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious - all the AA mothers who woudl not want their sons to marry outside of their race - do you feel the same way about your daughters?  [/quote]

I posted earlier about not wanting my son to marry a white woman. I would not have a problem with my daughter marrying a non-white man, but like another poster said, I would have a problem if she automatically excluded black men from her dating sphere.

Why the different mindset?  [/quote]

Successful black men are not as common in the black race as it is in other races. I plan to equip my son with the tools to be a success and I'd like for a black woman to find a husband in him. [/quote] That doesn't really answer the question - why do you assign different expectations to your kids based on their gender?

Also, maybe it's just me, but I'm much more concerned with my kids' happiness than anything else - I'm uncomfortable using them as pawns in micro-attempts at social engineering, or expecting them to decide who they marry based on my desire to right historic wrongs.  The best thing I can do for them is to be open-minded about who they fall in love with, as long as they treat each other well and love each other.  [/quote]
