[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do other black men and women give you crap over it?  Last week, I listened to a show on 1450 (it was either the Carl Nelson Show, or Andre Eggeletion), and this was the topic.  Almost every single caller was a black man who thought that a black man or woman should not date/marry a non-black.  They all said it was bringing the black race down, and that it was a betrayal of the black race.

They were going on and on about how black women need to find a black man, and stop betraying their race by getting together with white men, etc.

It caught me off-guard.  I really didn't realize that in today's day and age, so many people still have such a problem with interracial relationships. [/quote]

Do you also wonder if white men and white give him crap? Or do you think whites are cool with it?[/quote]

I don't think white men would give him crap about it (even if they weren't cool with it) because they wouldn't want to seem un-PC or be branded as a racist.[/quote]

You're fooling yourself. In fact, I'm amazed you typed that with a straight face. [/quote]

NP here, but all the mixed race couples I know have faced enormous very overt prejudice from blacks (men and women) including having abuse hurled at them in public and not even a hint of disapproval from whites in their day to day life.  I think PPs question is valid.  For some reason some people think it's perfectly acceptable to voice prejudice if you are black but clearly racist if you are white.  The radio program PP quotes is a perfect example of it.  There is no way that a show describing that situation in opposite terms would be on air.[/quote]
