Why Interrracial Mixing/marriage May Be Wrong by africandictator(m): 3:31pm On Dec 29, 2014 |
Before I begin, I wish to reiterate that I am not a racial supremacist of any sort. I am a member of a minority ethnic group, and technically, I have a few distant ancestors who are not of my racial background. I do not want to make this conversation into a discussion of racial bigotry; I find any form of supremacist ideology to be quite distasteful, and I do not advocate for the inferiority/superiority of any race. My belief on this particular issue is not based on any fundamental objection to intermarriage between people who are of different races; I am primarily concerned about the well-being of any potential children resulting from interracial unions. Typically, the major ethnic groups in this nation do not get along well, and many parents discourage their children from bringing home an individual of another race. Familial opposition to interracial pairings often means that many mixed race children never get the opportunity to know their grandparents/extended family, and this can lead to a profound sense of alienation. Biracial children must also contend with prejudice/ discrimination from people who stand at all ends of the racial divide; I remember knowing a half black/ half white girl in high school who was throughly mistreated by black students and rejected by most of the white students. Due to the insurmountable social pressures faced by many mixed race kids, they often seem to suffer from deep psychological issues and often fail to find a place in any community. I wish that we lived in a world that was capable of treating all individuals equally, but unfortunately, this is not the case. |
