So I have a white boyfriend. Now, I'm one of those people that my peers around me would be like, "Are... are they together... I thought..." I've even been called a racist. Anyways. My boyfriend is not only white, but he is a redhead. Yeah, so he was raised on a Indian reservation, and them was a military brat, moving overseas and such, intensifying his sense of diversity. Sometimes we have disagreements over race, but I try to avoid the issue altogether. He hates the fact that I'm going to Spelman; he claims that it's ignorant for me to go to a one race school... while it's fine for him to go to Montana State... I don't even need to get into the demographics for that school. Anyways. If the relationship is strong enough, you should be able to accept the race differences, and grow to understand.. while it's not 100% possible to understand a different race, attempts could be made...

Awww, I wanted to go to Spelman. But I was stupid and listened to my high school counselor. I didn't go. xp

I'm dating a white guy, so of course it can work. However, there are difficulties in our relationship.
Examples:
1)When explaining to him why I don't go swimming, he thought I was vain.
2)He prefers my hair straight to my natural hair and didn't think my natural hair down was attractive when I showed him an old yearbook photo.
3)He called me black instead of African-American because he thinks of African-Americans as more educated. (I was pissed and told him off)
4)His mother was a bit worried about him dating me at first since she thought of the "typical stereotype black"
5)his grandfather is racist.
We've been together for 4 months so far despite these issues and the only way an interracial relationship cannot work is due to ignorance. I admit my boyfriend is very ignorant when it comes to African-American culture and I doubt we'll stay together for years due to it, but we live to learn.

I dunno.
I never thought it would work because white men hate me.
I'm a powerful, young, black woman that knows what she wants and how to do it.
They all hated me for that.
Teachers, peers...
A couple of teachers are scared of me.
I "intimidate" (sp?) them.

I don`t see why it can`t work out. I like black people, white people, hispanics, asians and mixed people. But I`m more into black people and hispanics (I`m black and puerto rican myself).

I think almost any type of relatioship can work, if u base ur relationship off of ur differences, similiarities, and values.
So
He's white. Ur black. BIG ******** DEAL!!!
Whites and whites have problems.
We all know blacks and blacks have probelms.
WE ALL HAVE PROBLEMS!!!
So.
Just cuz ur black and he's white shouldnt mean anything.
If ignorance in your own relationship is what causes the dialogue(white jokes, black jokes, etc.) then, in my opinion, thats sum ol bullshit.
If ur relationship is being plagued with racism, then u better be able to handle it, if u want to stay in. If not, and if its bothering u, get the hell out, with the quickness.
As long as you've got the commitment, and the energy, IT CAN WORK!
wink

PurpleCaptain i had something very interesting happen the other day, this guy i care about made a very bad black joke that made me angry, but it was right after i had made a few white jokes of my own. For some reason, when he made his joke it just stung more because he said it in front of his little friends and crap and it just made me mad. I'm beginning to think that race will always come between us, Any thoughts? Oh, and let me mention that his family has a problem with him trying to date me because i'm black. Tell him how you feel and why it hurt. Tell him you understand that you may come off as hypocritical but if it bothers him you will stop making those jokes, too. Communication is key in all relationships (corny, I know, but true). Who cares what his family thinks? Try not to be bothered by it; you're dating him, not them. If their close-mindedness is bothering him then that might be a problem. And as for your initial question, I think it depends on both individuals: on their compatibility, strength and self-confidence whether the relationship between any two people will work, especially if it's not a societal norm.

I know how that feels. I used to have this half-white friend who continuously made stereotypical black jokes around me. I asked him to stop but he refused on the premise that they were "just jokes." We even dated for awhile and we ended up breaking up because he couldn't get past the black-white thing. (He felt as if everybody was staring at us.) Afterward we tried to be friends but that didn't work out either.
That's why I don't like racial jokes... I never really tolerated them except from this one really close friend of mine but they were light-hearted jokes. I would joke about stuff she's mentioned and she would do the same. We never really went to the extreme with the joking. We had an unspoken mutual agreement that said, "We won't make a big deal about each other's races like everyone else is." But I know not everyone has that kind of agreement with their friends. I think if you don't like hearing it, then you shouldn't make them. At least not around certain company. Tell them that you don't like hearing things like that and you don't want have that type of talk anymore. If you have real friends then they'll respect your request and stop with the jokes. If they don't then make yourself sparse. I think if people can't respect basic things like race, culture, religion, sex, etc. they probably won't respect much else either.
...o_O longer than I intended....
