I think that everyone has a level of comfortability with all things, so why not with people of diffrent races and ethnicity? Is it wrong to have a diverse group of people that you socialize with, work with and even live nearby (or with) but not wanting them to be within' you family via marriage? I personally dont think so. Many films particulary romantic comedy's such as; Guess whos coming to dinner?, the remake Guess who? I ultimatley dont think its wrong cause you dont want to be "the my best friends is black" guy (which usually is the most racist guy/person of em' all lol). Just be truthful with yourself about how you feel or what your comfortable with. Because the bottom line is there is no need to fake it, or force a intimate relationship between yourself and others that isnt a sincere one. We all live by a diffrent Creed. And we have to respect that creed even if we dont like it or necessarily agree with it. Respect is what permits tolerance. Tolerance is what permits peace. Peace begats uderstanding which is the cure for hate, hate crimes and all other B.S. I know plenty of black woman particularly who do not want the men in thier families to date or marry outside of thier race particulary white woman. Is this wrong? No, because they have a right to feel that way. Now I personally hope this isnt based on any kind of hatred towards white people in general, but if it is what can I say or do to change thier minds. Nothing.
I think everyone should acess thier personal levels of comfortability with everything in life. But most relevantly to this class with people of diverse backgrounds. Its good to know yourself. You may be shocked to find out how you really feel about certain things and People. What is your level of intimacy with people of other races?
