it's good as long as the two parties involve learn to understand and tolerate each other.

But u could be digging your own grave cos divorce is just a step away if u allow cultural differences to drift u apart

Interracial marriage is a good thing
It shows one race loves another race
I'm not the product of interracial Union
I'm a 100% latino, My mother married my Step-Father who is a Nigerian
and they enjoy each other's company

Used to be bad but since we have entered the twenty-first century it has gotten better. Not all that great yet,  There are still prejudices in the world that we live in. Why do we have redundant thread. Didn't I replied to this before somewhere else?

Its good, but both parties have to do their home work. For instance, they have to be aware of the difference in their cultures to avoid shock down the line.

I am in total agreement with you because I was in a relationship with a caucasian before and it wasn't pretty. For the caucasian side they dislike me when we kissed publicly or at work when she drops me off and for the black side they think you are better than then - that is in their minds,

@segun

Exactly !  So, as long as both parties don't mind having to go through this for this rest of their lives,
then interracial marriage is okay !

Do i have to be mixed to learn from both worlds.
You only learn more about the country you live in,
Most mixed kids here are lost they know nothing about their other half sometimes not even the langauge.

there are really so many things to consider. i know many people like to come back to their home country after their sojourn abroad, if that is the case in a mixed marriage where do the couple finally stay?? what if one partner is unwilling to relocate??

@Topic, both.  One has to take a good look at what one is getting in for/into.  Cultural difference, willingness to compromise, society's effect.  Take into consideration too, how society will affect your kids.  Naija is not bad in terms of raising mixed kids, but that is not so for other countries.  It's usually the 'not white enough to be a white person' or 'not black enough to be a black person', thats not easy on the child.  Thankfully sha, the world is getting more accepting of interracial couples/marriages than before.

Being in one, I can definately say it's good.
You must be aware of the fact that interracial marriages on average are probably harder than non-interracial marriages. Those difficulties are more related to culture than to race though. Both partners must be willing to understand and respect each other's culture and show a willingness to compromise on that issue. This will become especially important when children are involved

My brother you have said it all. just like i have earlier said on a topic in this forum "Culture" contribute majorly to failure in most interracial marriages until this is identified as a Key weapon unity will be difficult to attain in this kind of relationship.

its hard to find ugly offsprings from interracial marriages. No matter how ugly the interracial parents might be, the kids always turn out to be cute.

what the hell with interracial marraiges anyway, human blood is always red, whether ure black, white or yellow or whateva.

You dont have to be mixed to learn form both worlds, but mixed peeps usually have a nice view of things in general.

There is not always a superiority complex.  Sure some races have a superiority complex.  If both of your races are considered for lack of a better word 'lesser' races, is your marriage not interracial then?  What if your parent's have the superiority complex, will you not date/marry your girlfriend?

Some individuals have a superiority complex. You'll definitely find more whites with a superiority complex, but that doesn't mean that all whites feel superior or that some blacks cannot have a superiority complex.

@nferyn, i actually meant to say that sorry for being unclear but thank your for the correction.  You are right, the superiority complex is not exclusive to any race but to individuals and no matter if they make up the popular opinion it still is not the whole race. ok no more serious talks for today for me.

The good thing about interracial marriages is that the mixed children turn out more beautiful than both black and white.

That's your own opinion. You're entitled to it, but it's not a categorical fact.
