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.
