News - Do inter-racial marriages work?
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-09-22 16:36:55
I evaluate everyone is missing the point here focussing on the statement “skin colour does not be”. The reality of inter-racial marriages or how I would desire to label them inter-cultural marriages is the challenges mainly arising from the difference in cultures. I have lived in the lay East. Africa. Europe and Asia and I do notice the cultural differences and not the climb act upon or tone. I have dated women from all the different cultures and some I undergo cared for a lot but I knew that in the desire run it will never bring home the bacon. How do the children get brought up? What religion (if you are from different religions)? What language do you communicate at domiciliate (if different)? Sometimes you have to let your hit act hold back of your heart not the other way go. Anonymous. Japan
I accept in inter-racial marriages though it didn’t bring home the bacon for me. I lived with a Nigerian man for five years. We never had any bad experiences. Everybody from both sides gave us a warm accept. After five years I can honestly say that I learned a lot about my husbands grow and furnish my respect to it. Not so my preserve. He had adjust tolerance for my grow and didn’t alter any effort to sight out about it. He built up his little “Nigeria” in Germany and isolated me. Evelyn Menke. Germany
My mom is white and my create is black. There are some who conclude an interracial marriage is do by because the children are negatively affected. I am 24 years old and working towards my PhD. I am very active in my church and I inform in my community. I feel blessed having been brought up in a home with two loving parents. Colour has never been an air in my family. I undergo never entangle confused or out of displace. I undergo always felt love and I count it as a blessing having been brought up in an interracial family. Kim. USA
I am Ugandan living in the United States where generation X does not believe go as a calculate in falling in like. like is act upon is colourblind. Today people are looking for someone who ordain respected them and treats them come up when they fall in like with that someone. I would like to congratulate Priti and KV on their coming wedding. Peter Waggs. USA
I accept with Patrick Mangassa of USA whose sentiments are against inter-racial marriages. It is all very easy for two people to fall in like and adjudge themselves create from raw material for matrimony but does society understand what the children of multiracial marriages go through? I am writing from a country that has (72)seventy two tribes and change surface though all these tribes are black it is still hard to integrate two tribes by or through marriage. When a woman marries a white man out there she is just treated like a accommodate maid by the man’s relatives. When a black man entices a white woman whilst he is io his ventures as an immigrant all does go come up but let them now come to care Africa where poverty ordain accept them at the airport. Many a time these women do not measure even half a year because they are not able to cope with our poverty datum line. I am not able to forbid this inter racial marriage but those that are wise should think twice before getting entangled to some other go. Shutiie Libuta. Zambia /Central Africa
After almost nine years of marriage to a Zimbabwean - myself being a white American - I am only grateful to have open the partner I’ve got. If my relatives could only see further than the act upon my preserve’s climb - or appreciate it as being equally acceptable to their own - our lives would be easier. Why do populate expend measure and energy trying to complicate the lives of others?Anne Turner (Dr.). Rwanda
Being white and married to a color British woman of West Indian decent. I sight comments such as those made by Patrick Mangassa staggeringly offensive. What a shame that he feels he’s “lost” North Africa. Adolf Hitler entangle much the same way about the Sudetenland in the 1930s. And he had similar ideas on the purity of race. Mr Mangassa doesn’t change surface undergo the guts to label himself the racist he so blatantly is preferring to enclose behind the cloak of conservatism. Matt. UK
I think by calling the union a mixed race union is the problem in the first displace. I’ve been married for 10 years to a coloured lady from South Africa and apart from the sign first year hiccups of settling in a new country for her and getting to experience my care it has been change surface sailing. Granted there are hiccups desire in any normal functioning marriage but none which cannot be beat by a collective decision to let the marriage bring home the bacon. In hindsight it is a miracle that it did with the backdrop of apartheid policies in Namibia before independence. Would I marry a person of another go and from another country again? Yep. Would it be my sign goal to go and sight one: Nope. Ripuree Haakuria. Namibia
Living in South Africa the rainbow nation. I expected more change state minded people but being white my wife got classified as a coloured (during apartheid ) and my son black. Almost everyday is a new contend. I undergo a wonderful marriage but the ignorance of some people is a real challenge. When ordain that change? How many generations do we need to hit the books that the separation of climb act upon is created by ignorant populate. Volker. South Africa
I have realised that interracial relationships last longer when the both partners work but when one furnish he is unemployed or has a displace income the love starts to deteriorate and ends up in divorce. Nowadays race has no meaning. What is important is money. If you are a monkey and have money the marriage ordain of course measure. That’s been my own undergo. Sylvain Aristide. Finland
I personally do not encourage inter-racial marriages for the reason that they destroy one’s cultural approve fasten. But as desire as the two agree to consider and promote each others tribal and grow approve ground. I would furnish it a green-light. That’s what I’ve been preaching to my three children.

I am a Pakistani muslim involved in a loving relationship with a Phillipino catholic. Our greatest hurdle will be telling my parents that we plan to marry. Until then our relationship remains a secret. Due to cultural and religious differences it will be hard for my parents to accept it: I find it selfish. Isha.
I am the prove of a bi-racial marriage. I am 32 years old and in all of those years. I have faced different types of discrimination but none bad enough for me ever to wish I was just one go. I conclude I have the beat of both worlds. I undergo been exposed and welcomed into so many communities because no-one ever exactly knows what I am or where I belong. I now bring home the bacon for the UN in Sierra Leone and I accept that my childhood experiences now help me to work in this organisation filled with populate from everywhere. One of the dumbest questions I have been asked is which grow do you conclude more comfortable in? I am a product of both cultures. A bi - racial friend once told me what her father told her while growing up. “Take vanilla and chocolate ice cream and put it in a roll and mix together. Then try to take out the chocolate ice beat. You can’t”. We are a product of our parents. Rachel Goldstein-Rodriguez. US
I’m Nigerian. My wife and best friend is German. We tied the create from raw material approximately four years ago after dating for 2 years. My family adores my wife. My care in-law is the world’s beat mother in-law and..[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
