    All clear signal given to you.  Congratulations.


    P.S. Make sure you have a job to support your family though.

    The colour of skin is a non issue.  Live and let live. :)


    Be Happy!

    We are in the 21st century not the 18th century and we are all equal :-)


     

    Only for the bigots. There's a lot of black mixed into my white family. We all get along as a family should. No problems here. 

    Not here!

    No, not at all. I wish you the best.

    It is legal for mixed races to marry but be prepared to receive a lot of flack.....

    Not here either!

    Maybe 30 years ago in parts of the USA and else where , but from what I understand all man/women were created equal..

    All the very best to you both! :) 


    Ignore the small-minded people who


    look at a person and only see skin colour.

    LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE!;-)....Anyone who has problems with it aren`t worth the time of day imo!!:-)....Why should skin colour/gender etc  come into it!!...LIVE A HAPPY AND LOVING LIFE!!:-)..


    my VERY best wishes to you!! XX

    No , as long as they are happy and in love :)..


    Get married and show us the pictures :)

    Thats true, but money doesn't make you happy either ...

    Next time you go to the video store rent an old movie called "Guess who's coming to dinner".


    About a white girl marrying a black man.


    Spencer Tracey,Sidney Poitier & Katie Hepburn at their best.


    All the best if/when you do marry.

    Good movie, but outdated and not applicable anymore.

    MCM, don't put any money on that thinking, you'll lose, unfortunately.

    I guess the point I'm making is that this was happening back in the sixties.Why not now? Why outdated?

    Great movie, Tommy. Sidney Poitier is a superb actor. I love most of his work.

    We're not talking about bloody ants Ed!! We're talking about people!

    Nothing wrong with it in my thinking. But don't kid yourself and think that all people are accepting of an interracial marriage. Your children will have to deal with it as well. I grew up in the city and a few kids in school were the product of a black and white relationship. They were forced to basically take sides. "You black or white"? Either way they were alienated by the other race. Most people here are accepting of this union. In a perfect world you would never have to ask this question. The worlds not perfect is it?

    Here's a snippet on those statistics you queried below ed shank>>>Recent increases in the rate of interracial marriage point to increased social acceptance of these relationships (Joyner & Kao, 2005; Lee & Edmonston, 2005). As of 2000, nearly 6% of all married couples were interracial compared to fewer than 1% in 1970. However, a growing literature describing the challenges faced by interracial couples (e.g., Chito Childs, 2005; Dalmage, 2000; Killian, 2003; Lewis & Yancey, 1995; Root, 2001) suggests that crossing racial lines still violates enduring norms of who should and should not marry whom (Killian). Demographic evidence further supports this hypothesis. For example, Bramlett and Mosher (2002) found that 41% of interracial couples divorced by the 10th year of marriage compared to only 31% of same-race couples. Their findings imply that, although entering an interracial marriage tends to carry less social stigma, these relationships are less likely to remain intact.>http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1741-3729.2008.00491.x/full>

    Absolutely not!

    I'm not aware of it being illegal somewhere, so there shouldn't BE any problem. Most people are accepting, or at least tolerant, of mixed race unions.  There are probably parts of the world where people could be hateful, ostracizing, and prejudiced. Hopefully, if this question is about yourself, you are in a place where people have put the issue of skin color to bed. 

    Can't see any problem with that myself, If you love each other the colour of your skin or religion or anything else should make no difference. Good luck have a good life.

    i married a black man.36 years ago. we had our ups and downs. there were times we couldnt get served at a restaurant, ignored for service, like at a filling station. i been called n****r lover more than once. iour kids seemed to do well. they have been teased and harrased. all thats done now. we hardly hear any thing. so yeah, you can do it. i hope you have a long and beautiful life with your chosen one!!

    Only problem I see is that weddings are expensive buddy so be prepared...have you seen the price of a wedding dress lately? Caterers? Tuxedos? Your poor wallet will suffer the most!!!

    happens all the time. But , marriage is hard enough without adding a huge amount of stress to it.

    How about a huge amount of love? My sister married a black man and the had 3 children. She never spoke of any negative comments are problems and they lived all through the southern states. This was 20 years ago too. I think times have changed more than people know.
    ed shank

    MCM, two people in love don't and shouldn't see the consequences of their relationship. But in reality there are still enough narrow minded people out there to remind them daily that they are not the norm. It would be interesting to see what the statistics are for divorces between interracial couples and couples of the same race.

    Very interesting! In the black community, it's apparently much more acceptable than a black woman marrying a white man. Maybe a person of color can explain this.

    ed shank

    That has been my impression as well. Why? I've lived in the city of hate where everyone hates someone for something. If your black, white, Jewish, latino, or drive a Ford, someone will be hating you.

    No problem around here!  Lot's of inter-racial couples.  I wish you both a lifetime together of Love- through all that life brings to you!

    There are no problems at all for it until the divorce.

    lol!..i LOVE the OPTIMIST!!!:-(

    NO, nope, nada, nyat....


     

    If you live in Mississippi better move further north. ( 'strange fruit'? )

    ed shank

    millie111

    ???move..to be "Accepted"???...a bit drastic I`d say!:-¬...(Sexism/racism..problems of all sorts wherever you go in this strange world);--¬It`s ALL WAY too crazy for me!!!:-)

    My white niece says she wants to marry her black boyfriend.  Well i got his name , did a background check. Bad credit history, aggravated assault on female. theft. She is still in love though and wont change her mind. So i dont feel a damn bit sorry for the problems she is about to have in her life.  Doesnt matter black or white. Find out the history before you commit yourself .


     

    millie111

    YEP...A lot of white men have bad credit checks too..and are wife beaters etc etc...it`s not to do with skin colour!!
