Same-Sex and Interracial Marriage Find Common Ground
2008-05-22 09:36:00 In the 1948 case of Perez v. Sharp, the California Supreme Court struck down a ban on interracial marriage.Chief Justice Ronald M. George quoted from the Perez decision three times while the current court was ruling on the legality of a ban on same-sex marriage. It seemed that the chief justice accepted that the struggle for same-sex marriage closely paralleled that of the struggle to legalize interracial marriages, reports the New York Times. When the California Supreme Court majority found Thursday that same-sex couples had a right to marry, they cited Perez.Opponents of same-sex marriage are uncomfortable with the analogy, reports the New York Times. Monte Stewart, president of the Marriage Law Foundation, says the parallel only works on the surface. "Marriage in its deep logic has nothing to do with race and everything to do with the union of a man and a woman," said Stewart.The Perez decision came long before the rest of the nation started desegregation, as another...
Interracial Loving in black and white
2008-05-07 06:23:00 Mildred and Richard Loving, January 26, 1965.On this day when people in Indiana and North Carolina are choosing between the Democratic candidates for president, one of whom is the offspring of an interracial union, it's mind-boggling to think that just over 40 years ago, marriages like that which produced Sen. Barack Obama were illegal in many states, including North Carolina where voters are going to the polls.But all that was changed in 1967 because of two quiet and courageous people who fought for their love by fighting an unjust law, Richard and Mildred Loving of Virginia. Their desire to have their marriage recognized in the eyes of the law in native state led them all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court which struck down all anti-miscegenation laws in the nation.Mildred Jeter Loving, an African-American, died at 68 last week. Her husband was killed in 1975 by a drunken driver. But she and he will forever have a place in history as the Loving family in ironically perfect legal c...
Interracial Couples Today
2008-05-07 06:17:00 Interracial marriage has become more common, but remains relatively rare. Sociologists estimate that 7 percent of the nation's 59 million marriages are mixed-race couplings.And even now, interracial marriage remains a source of quiet debate over questions of identity, assimilation and acceptance.Take Anna Blazer and Bryan Walker, for instance. The white woman and her black husband, with their two young children, live just miles from the Caroline County courthouse. Donald Loving, a grandson of Richard and Mildred Loving, introduced the couple when they were teenagers.Blazer, now 23, says her family was initially wary of her then-boyfriend because of his race."My mom was a little weird with it, because he used to wear this really long — they call it bling-bling — he used to wear a bling-bling cross around his neck and baggy pants. And I don't know, she just kind of looked at him kind of funny when she first met him," Blazer remembers.But over the years her mother has warmed to W...

Challenging Virginia's bigotted laws, they won, opening the door to the destruction of anti-interracial marriage laws that should never have been in place.Mildred passed on to Heaven this week at 68.

Jury should hear coach's claims he was fired for interracial marriage: Cour
2008-04-21 17:38:00 A white former Iona College hoops coach scored big Tuesday in his two-year battle to prove he was fired because his wife is black.The 2nd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in Manhattan said a jury should hear Craig Holcomb's claims that top-ranking officials at the Westchester school allowed racists to oust him from his job as top assistant to axed Iona basketball coach Jeff Ruland.The court said a lower-court judge was wrong to toss out Holcomb's discrimination claim and sent the case back to trial.In a first-of-its-kind decision, the court ruled that even though Holcomb is white, he still can make a claim that he was discriminated against because of his association with a black woman.Holcomb accused Iona Vice President and former Athletic Director Richard Petriccione of repeatedly using the N-word to refer to black players and of calling a Nigerian employee a "jungle bunny."In 2000, Holcomb says, he asked Petriccione if he'd received the invitation for his wedding to Pamela Gauthi...
Interracial Marriages Not Uncommon in Urban Areas
2008-04-21 17:30:00 When it comes to interracial marriage, many Koreans picture farmers marrying women from China in suburban areas. However, a recent government report said the trend is changing fast ― many of the grooms live in urban areas and are marrying for the second time with Vietnamese women.The report said many of these couples suffer from poor-communication and financial problems. They are also reluctant to have children, it said.According to the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs, only 12.4 percent of 30,208 men married to foreign women in 2006 made a living in the agricultural or fishery sector ― a huge decline from 30-40 percent in the past.Many grooms were previously married. In 2001, 66.7 percent were getting married for the first time, but in 2005, the number decreased to 55.4 percent. The portion of males on their second marriage jumped from 32.3 percent to 43.2 percent over the same period.Lee Sam-shik, a researcher at the institute, said in these cases many men who div...

2008-04-21 17:25:00 Divorces between couples involving a Korean and non-Korean surged by 41 percent last year.According to the National Statistical Office (NSO), Monday, the number of divorces between couples composed of Korean and non-Korean spouses recorded 8,828 last year, soaring 40.6 percent from the previous year.Their divorces have been soaring notably each year, growing by 46.8 percent in 2006, 25.8 percent in 2005 and 57.1 percent in 2004.Divorces between Korean-foreign nationals reached 7.1 percent of total divorces last year, up 2.1 percentage points from the previous year.Divorces involving a Korean husband and foreign wife totaled 5,794, taking 65.6 percent of the total. Divorces with a Chinese wife recorded 3,665; Vietnamese wife 895; Filipino wife 220; and Japanese wife 219.Among Korean women who divorced foreign husbands, 3,034 divorced their Japanese husband, 649 their Chinese husband; and 259 their American husband.``The number of divorces between Koreans and Chinese wives or Japanese...
Is interracial dating in Minnesota really one-sided?
2008-04-16 19:33:00 “A black woman wonders: What’s up with the Minnesota dating game?”This was a headline for an article written 3 years ago. And the woman is still wondering…This woman is concerned about couples comprising black men and white women being so predominant. Many black men in Minnesota are not dating or marrying black women. And according to her, men of other races don’t seem interested in black women, either.Here is some census data involving blacks:Among married black men in Minnesota, 44 percent have wives who are not black; among married black women in the state, 14 percent have husbands who are not black. Nationally, the figures are 7 percent for men and 3 percent for women.So this lady asks, “what’s up with this? If 44 percent of married black men in Minnesota are going over to the white side, compared with only 14 percent of married black women, what does this mean?”This lady has nothing against interracial relationships if they are for the right reasons - compatibil...

Interracial marriages forming at unprecedented rates: census
2008-04-09 04:10:00 TORONTO — Four decades after Hollywood's first interracial kiss in "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" shocked mainstream America, Canada's multicultural society is increasingly showing signs that love is colour blind.The latest census figures released Wednesday by Statistics Canada show that, on this side of the border, mixed unions are forming at unprecedented rates.There were 289,420 mixed-race couples, married and common law, in 2006 - one third more than in 2001, the last time the data was collected.Yet there was a time in North America's not-so distant past that marrying someone of a different race wasn't just taboo, it could land someone behind bars.Before a 1967 U.S. Supreme Court decision ruled it unconstitutional, 16 states still had laws banning interracial marriage.Since Sidney Poitier's landmark smooch, Hollywood continued the tradition of big-screen portrayals of interracial romances. Kevin Costner hooked up with Whitney Houston in "The Bodyguard" and Spike Lee brou...
Poll shows interracial dating widely accepted
2008-04-01 05:06:00 Pick a color -- black, white, brown, yellow, red or any color in between.Interracial relationships are now widely accepted by Americans of all races, according to a recent Gallup Poll, with 95 percent of young people, ages 18 to 29, approving. Nearly half of all Americans say they have personally dated a person of a different race."There is no question that people are more tolerant of interracial relationships today than in the past, but unquestionably people are not as tolerant in their hearts as they believe they are in their heads," said Sam Richards, senior lecturer in sociology.Richards said people of different races are dating others who have similar class and cultural backgrounds. They are not just dating anyone across the race line, but people they have a lot in common with, regardless of race, he said.This acceptance of interracial dating is a large change from past generations. According to the Gallup Poll, while 95 percent of the younger generation polled accepted these r...
Interracial love is at heart of 'Shop'
2008-04-01 04:16:00 Romantic comedies typically don't feature Asian leading men and African-American leading ladies, but then again, "Akira's Hip Hop Shop" is not a typical movie.Starring TV's James Kyson Lee (who is best known as Ando on NBC's "Heroes"), the film is centered around the budding interracial romance between a Japanese hip-hop fanatic named Akira (Lee), and an African-American culinary student named Daphne (Emayatzy Corinealdi), and offers a slice of life and love we rarely see.Written, directed and produced by Detroit native Joe Doughrity , "Akira's Hip Hop Shop" is being screened 7 p.m. Thursday in room 1360 of the University of Michigan's East Hall, 530 Church St., in Ann Arbor. The screening, which is free, will be followed by a Q&A on the film and race relations."I was inspired to make 'Akira' following my first trip to Japan in 2005," says Doughrity, who grew up devouring matinee movies at the Northwest Theater on Grand River Avenue. He now lives in Los Angeles."Everywhe...
New generation doesn't blink at interracial relationships
2008-03-22 16:05:00 Ryan Knapick and Josh Baker have been best friends since fifth grade. Colette Gregory entered the picture in high school. She and Josh are dating now. Knapick is white, Gregory is black and Baker is half-Hispanic. To them, race doesn't matter."People are finding people with common interests and common perspectives and are putting race aside," says Knapick, 22, a May graduate of Indiana University who works at a machine shop and lives with his parents in Munster, Ind.He and his friends are among an estimated 46.3 million Americans ages 14 to 24 — the older segment of the most diverse generation in American society. (Most demographers say this "Millennial" generation began in the early 1980s, after Generation X.) These young people have friends of different races and also may date someone of another race.This age group is more tolerant and open-minded than previous generations, according to an analysis of studies released last year by the Center for Information and Research on Civi...
Why Interracial Love Is Still Hard
2008-03-22 15:04:00 Interracial relationships are more common now than in, say, 1950, but the pressure on today's mixed couple is still very real. The miscegenation of our society may seem to be growing at a steady rate based on how often we've been talking about race lately. But let's not kid ourselves. Interracial relationships represent approximately seven percent of couples in the country, which is incredible progress considering they represented just .07 percent in 1960. But for our ever-diversifying nation, these are alarmingly low figures. For the most part, everyone is still sticking to their "own kind." Is this intentional segregation or just cultural tradition? Could be both. But one thing remains certain: Every interracial couple entering into a serious relationship knows what struggles lie ahead. Maybe that 93 percent would just rather avoid them.I can't say I blame them. I'm white, and I lead a very happy life with my black husband. Our families love us and our friends are accepting. ...
Vh1 To Air First Interracial Dating Show
2008-03-20 09:00:00 VH1 has reportedly given a green-light to "Interracial Love," a reality show about a white male looking to find an African American girlfriend. Writer "Lynn" of blackwhitekiss.com says the show will start casting in June for a fall 2008 premiere. The series will follow Tobias White and his two bi-racial sons Marcus and Zachary as they look to add a wife and mother to the family. In an interview with Lynn last July, White explained his preference for black women. "I’m a white male and I’ve always dated only black women. I just always have," he said. "It’s not that I’m prejudiced against my own race, but it just seemed a better fit for me. And now I have two children that are bi-racial. "I’ve seen so many shows like the Bachelor and now Age of Love, The Rock of Love and Joe Millionaire. They always have 19 or 20 white women on the show and they’ll have one black woman. It’s almost like it was set up for the black woman to get voted off. ...
'Interracial Relationships': A Discussion at U of M Dearborn
2008-03-20 08:42:00 Dearborn, Mich. -- How would other people perceive black men dating white women? How would other people perceive interracial relationship? Those are the first of several questions that were thought of at a panel discussion inside the Kochoff Hall at the University Center (UC) at University of Michigan-Dearborn on Friday. “Conservation of Race” continues on campus with “Interracial Relationships”.The students’ thoughts and opinions on this sensitive issue before the discussion was that interracial relationships “should be treated no less than relationships of the same race”. But some stated that information about interracial relationship isn’t “very informed” and people should know more about it, while others agreed that dating someone of a different race is “difficult” due to the reactions of both society and family.According to research, interracial marriages have gone from less than 1% of U.S. marriages in 1970 to nearly 6% in the 2000 U.S. Census Bureau, w...
Modern take on interracial dating
2008-03-02 13:07:00 The year is 2008. People have been through varying times in mankind's history. Yet, there still seems to be a problem with what people define as, quote unquote, interracial dating.Many wars have been fought for all the wrong reasons. Now they have become internal struggles. A struggle against feelings and emotions.Virtues and characteristics change from one to the next. And not one person could help what their favorite color is or a particular food within their palate.So why do some turn away from their distinct feelings and emotions toward another?The question is simple, yet complex at the same time. Your answer might be your friends would not approve of that relationship. The other factor is the approval of your family.There is one determined fault in any of this reasoning; We put too much faith in what others consider to be righteous.But the final truth in "the pursuit of happiness" is finding one's own pleasure, seeking out contentment without the justification of others.This ...
Interracial couples still misunderstood by families, society
2008-03-02 12:44:00 The issue of race, for better or worse, has always been important in American society.The idea of interracial couples in American history has, for the most part, met with rejection."In the United States, it was against the law to marry a black person, and we are still an endogenous society for the most part," sociology Professor Gloria Pimentel said.Laws banning interracial marriage, sex and cohabitation have been termed miscegenation laws or antimiscegenation laws since 1863. Miscegenation comes from the Latin words miscere, "to mix," and genus, "kind."The first laws banning interracial marriages were put in place in the 17th century when the 13 colonies were still subjects of English rule.Segregationists use the Bible to justify antimiscegenation laws, including the stories of Phinehas, who prevented the spread of a plague by killing a fellow Israelite and his Midianite woman (Numbers 25: 1-17), and Noah's curse of Ham, condemning his son to servitude (Genesis 9: 18-27).It was th...
Interracial couple shot at early Friday
2008-02-17 12:59:00 Greenville police officers arrested a white man at Wal-Mart early Friday morning after he shot at a black man in what police say was a racially motivated attack. Police say Donovan Patrick Williams, 23, of 800 River Hills Drive, initiated a confrontation laced with racial slurs after seeing Jovan Hodge, 19, walking with his white girlfriend. Williams reportedly told Hodge it was "unacceptable" for him to date a white girl, police spokesman Cpl. Kip Gaskins reported. Williams was arrested and charged with several gun crimes, Gaskins said, and officers are investigating if his actions constitute a hate crime. "Committing a crime like this against someone just because you don't like what you see is something we can't tolerate. He needs to be incarcerated, the public needs to know and hopefully he'll be there for a long time," Gaskins said. Hodge said he tried to drive away but Williams shot at his Ford Explorer, causing $300 damage, according to police. "I w...

Study Focuses on Interracial Adoption
2008-01-20 10:43:00 Dr. Cardell Jacobson of the Sociology Department is currently researching the varied experiences that occur in interracial adoption cases.Jacobson is working with Darron Smith, a Ph.D. student at the University of Utah. They are focusing their research on white families who have adopted black children.In an age in which many people think racism is a fading phenomenon, Jacobson has found that racial slurs and discrimination are still prevalent."Without exception, whether we've talked to parents, or whether we've talked to the adult children, everyone has experienced discrimination," Jacobson said. "Every parent and almost every child over the age of five has heard the 'N' word."Jacobson has found that parents who research black culture and history may be better equipped to help socialize their black children. According to Jacobson, one of the main questions that parents considering interracial adoption should consider is whether or not they have the skills as a white parent to he...
Interracial Marriages
2008-01-20 10:34:00 South Korean society is smitten with the issue of ``interracial'' or ``mixed'' marriages ― typically rural Korean bachelors marrying (South East) Asian women. Statistics are always cited: percentages, divorce rates, projected percentages of future mixed-marriage offspring and so on.Others speak of mixed-marriage repercussions on Korea's ``ethnic homogeneity'' with some assuming that such homogeneity has always been and others implying that it never has been. Amidst a rocketing divorce rate, others speak of ``saving'' these marriages, most commonly referring to communication differences, both cultural and linguistic.In fact, there's never a shortage of discussion on the various ways an interracial marriage can be undermined: miscommunication, or the inability to communicate at all, deceit on either side, pressure, and cultural dislocation.What is never entertained, however, is the possibility that many of these marriages never had a chance to begin with and what Korean cu...
Exploring interracial couples and dating
2008-01-11 05:58:00 Making it past the racial divide reveals the difficulties all couples ultimately face in their relationshipsWill they understand our table manners? Can they get used to our culture? Are they willing to learn our language? The clash of cultures has a resounding impact on the lives of those involved in interracial dating. Yes, they are aware that they look like “weird” couples on the outside, but the couples themselves don’t see colour, religion or anything else that causes separation. This is what carries over when culturally diverse people interact with one another in their work environments and in their day-to-day lives.Karen is mixed – Caucasian and Chinese. Her boyfriend, Chris, is Jamaican. She said her male friends sometimes made racial comments about black people directed specifically towards her boyfriend that are “so stupid, but really bothered me.” Her friends thought it was funny, but as the two started dating longer, she started to become defensive.She said sh...

Interracial families personify promise of tolerance
2008-01-02 05:59:00 Swiss-born artist Saba Djamila, formerly known as Djamila Lininger Strauss, was born to a German mother and Algerian father. As a result of her travels and extended stays with Rastafarians in Jamaica and the Tuaregs in Timbuktu, she developed a keen interest in interracial bonding.This subject is the theme of her paintings on display through Jan. 31 at the Baobab Cultural Center. She further witnessed the complexity of interracial love when her white daughter married a black Jamaican. Would her grandchildren be black, white, sambo (quarter-white), mulatto (half white), quadroon (three-quarters white), or mestizo (seven-eighths white)? Would Santa be the white or black grandpa?Interracial issues add to the complexity of family dynamics during the holidays. Interracial adoptions have increased the prevalence of such challenges. Close to 2 million children in the United States are of a different race than one or both parents.Nonetheless, interracial coupling remains a thorny issue. Soc...
Interracial SoulMate Relationships
2007-12-24 15:30:00 Interracial relationships have existed for thousands of years, but are just now becoming common. The very first of interracial soulmates was documented thousands of years ago. This interracial relationship was between Moses and his Ethiopian wife. Moses could not find a suitable wife within his own race. In order for him to not feel alone, he had to travel to East Africa. There, he found his mate.Moses’ experience is a classic example that shows three things. First, just because you are of one race does not mean your soulmate will be the same race as you. Second, Moses’ experience shows that your appropriate mate is not necessarily a person from the same town or locale where you reside. Lastly, it shows that while most people will find their soulmates within their own race, others must look beyond their own people.There is a disturbing and re-occurring problem I find with the dating habits of men and women. The problem is that some limit their chances of finding happiness by set...
What do you think of interracial relationship?
2007-12-24 15:13:00 There are two viewpoints about interracial relationship:1.Let's face it. We live in a multicultural society.While in the past, people were more likely to "stick with their own kind," we are seeing a significant growth in interracial relationships. By integrating with different cultures and nationalities, we are doing away with the seeds of hate, racism, and prejudice.Interracial relationships provide individuals with the unique opportunity to learn, experience, and appreciate different cultures and backgrounds. We are given the opportunity to see the beauty in different nationalities and peoples. Most importantly, we are finally learning that the outer shell of a person does not change who they are on the inside. Deep within, we are all one in the same. Interracial relationships strengthen individuals and build harmony between different races. Learning and experiencing different cultures enrich us.Some will argue that interracial couples need to deal with more differences and a gre...

Interracial Relationships — 11 Success Tips
2007-12-24 05:27:00 by Flora Murkett Ours is a wonderful generation for many reasons, but most of all, it’s a generation of acceptance and the celebration of diversity. Today, more than ever before, people of all races and origins can share neighborhoods, workplaces, classrooms and homes without bias. We can freely share our ideas and learn more about other cultures. Ours is a more harmonious world and every day, we’re becoming increasingly tolerant of the cultural diversity that exists all around us. Every couple involved in a romantic union will face challenges from time to time, but mixed race couples can encounter particularly challenging issues. Facing these challenges and finding solutions will ultimately enable the couple to make their relationship even stronger. The confidence to endure the strongest conflicts is made possible by sharing the personal strength found in each other. An interracial relationship is the joining together of two people from different cultural background...
Asymmetric theory on interracial dating and attraction
2007-12-16 00:14:00 An AP news article by Dionne Walker a couple of weeks ago that black women are increasingly dating men of other races reminded me of a theory on interracial dating I developed back in my college days. Since I didn't start Asymmetric until twenty years later, the theory languished in the little corner of my mind I reserve for interesting inconsequentialities until now, when I get to share it with my readers. First, a few caveats. I consider this story and interracial dating in general to be morally neutral- neither bad nor good- and of little consequence to the lives of Americans. Second, Americans get more upset over race than religion and politics put together- more than even dog fighting- but I only intend to make what I feel is an interesting observation so don't get upset. Third, I’m speaking in the broadest of generalities and my own now-shelved proclivities have often contradicted this theory. Finally, I recognize that other factors may be at work, but I'll purpose...

Interracial Dating In Today's Society
2007-12-15 02:47:00 “Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight,” are lyrics from one of the most commonly known children’s church songs.Yet the state of Alabama did not legally endorse the meaning behind this religious tune until 2000 when it became the last state to overturn its anti-amalgamation laws, which had prevented whites and blacks from being married. Although law states that people of different race can now marry, date and procreate with their person of choice, it remains a divided issue today.The Civil Rights Era has come and gone and despite the removal of this unconstitutional law, society still stigmatizes mixed-race couples. The ethical and emotional fence straddling interracial dating remains divided and black and white is not yet an equal opportunity phrase. To some, Bull Connor, who was a member of the Ku Klux Klan and a strong advocate of racial segregation, and white supremacy are more alive than ever. According to the opposition, it is black or white and...
Tips For Online Interracial Dating
2007-12-14 06:47:00 Interracial online dating is popular and successful. A unique challenge in interracial dating is not how the two people of different ethnicities feel about each other, but how others react to the couple. Clearly, introducing a new boyfriend or girlfriend of a different race or ethnicity introduces another dimension. Talk openly and honestly with each other from the beginning about what you may be facing as a couple in terms of friends' and families’ reactions. There is no easy solution to prepare for prejudices. However, an honest and mutually supportive dialogue can help a couple feel they are working together as a team to deal with these challenges. Here are the important tip for interracial dating online.• Guard your identity. Remain anonymous until you feel safe and ready to explore other options. Don't include your real name or city of residence within your email address, username or interracial personals profile.• Go slow. Take your time getting comfortable talking onl...

2007-12-09 14:48:00 Parents who are of different races, such as a white father and an Asian-American mother, spend more time and money on their kids than parents who are both of the same race, new research shows.So-called biracial (aka interracial or multiracial) parents are more likely than their "monoracial" counterparts to provide their children with a home computer, private schooling and educational books and CDs and to make sure they participate in reading activities, dance, music or art lessons outside of school and get trips to the zoo, library and other cultural venues.The "biracial advantage" only holds for comparisons with same-race couples from the two racial groups represented by the parents—for instance, if a Latino and white couple is compared with a Latino-Latino couple or a white-white couple. The finding disappears if all biracial couples, regardless of racial pairing, are compared with the entire pool of same-race couples (combining all couples that are white-white, black-black, Lat...
Interracial Couples May Meet Four Challenge
2007-12-09 14:19:00 The Family Challenge...There is the problem of each one merging with the other's family. After all, one's immediate family and their acceptance (or lack of it) is important. For a mate to be rejected by relatives due to color, it can be devastating and cause a rift in the relationship. Regardless of how much acceptance there might be, the individual prejudices of family members can wear on a relationship and possibly even destroy it. Interracial couples will need to discuss the possible effects that such a situation might have on their relationship.The Societal Challenge..Then there is the tendency of society to disapprove of such relationships. It is a rare workplace where one feels comfortable with introducing a mate who is from another race. Not only that, but there is always that feeling of being noticed by someone when out in public. Interracial couples have to get used to others staring at them and also being able to read lips which obviously disapprove of their presence in ...
Primary Relationship:Interracial Couples
2007-12-09 14:05:00 Love even trancends racial bounds but that doesn't mean that everyone will be acceptingFew caucasians (whites) have a problem with anyone who would marry a native American, Hispanic, Oriental, or Mid-Easterner. The real problem with those who have racial prejudices is their disdain for anyone who mates with someone who is black. That is, unless it is another black person.This attitude stems from racial bigotry that has it's roots in slavery. Blacks are still seriously looked down upon by some in our society who have convinced themselves that they are somehow superior. As a result, the idea of a white being in a romantic relationship with a black is enough to make them go ballistic. Their narrow minds find it impossible to understand that true love knows no bounds.The good news is that younger people are less apt to be as bigoted. Despite the news coverage given those who have been caught up in the Neo-Nazi movement, more young adults than ever accept those in interracial relations...

How Far Have Interracial Couples Come?
2007-12-05 15:19:00 In 1954 in a small town in Western Pennsylvania, a young white man married a young black woman with whom he had two daughters. They were married for 22 years before she died of leukemia. To date, their union has produced three daughters, nine grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. I am the granddaughter of those brave people. Although what my grandparents did in the racially segregated 1950s was illegal and may seem like a risky feat for the time, over four decades of racial healing later, we may not be much better off.As recently as 1967, marrying a person of another race was illegal in at least 16 states. Thanks to The Loving Decision, a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court which overturned the existing laws against interracial marriages, no one can send an interracially married couple to jail today. In the November 2000 elections, Alabama removed the last remaining traces of anti-miscegenation laws in their state when citizens voted to amend their 1901 Constitution to remove a u...
Interracial Marriage:Love can take its toll
2007-12-03 03:13:00 In many cases, interracial families embody a mix of nationalities as well as races. Michelle Cadeau, born in Sweden, and her husband, James, born in Haiti, are raising their two sons as Americans in racially diverse West Orange, N.J., while teaching them about all three cultures.“I think the children of families like ours will be able to make a difference in the world, and do things we weren’t able to do,” Michelle Cadeau said. “It’s really important to put all their cultures together, to be aware of their roots, so they grow up not just as Swedish or Haitian or American, but as global citizens.”Meanwhile, though, there are frustrations — such as school forms for 5-year-old Justin that provide no option for him to be identified as multiracial.“I’m aware there are going to be challenges,” Michelle said. “There’s stuff that’s been working for a very long time in this country that is not going to work anymore.”The boom in interracial marriages forced the fed...
7 percent of couples interracial
2007-12-03 02:11:00 Factoring in all racial combinations, Stanford University sociologist Michael Rosenfeld calculates that more than 7 percent of America’s 59 million married couples in 2005 were interracial, compared to less than 2 percent in 1970.Coupled with a steady flow of immigrants from all parts of the world, the surge of interracial marriages and multiracial children is producing a 21st century America more diverse than ever, with the potential to become less stratified by race.“The racial divide in the U.S. is a fundamental divide. ... but when you have the ’other’ in your own family, it’s hard to think of them as ’other’ anymore,” Rosenfeld said. “We see a blurring of the old lines, and that has to be a good thing, because the lines were artificial in the first place.”
Interracial Story:Boy meets parents
2007-11-27 07:29:00 Meeting the parents is a time-honored tradition that everyone dreads. Will they like me? Will I like them? How will this affect my relationship with my significant other? Even if you're not nervous about the meeting, you still ask yourself these questions. I know I did when I met my boyfriend's parents. Last week it was his turn to bite the bullet.I usually go home for Thanksgiving, but this year, with plane ticket prices at $450 round-trip, my parents decided to drive the 17 hours to visit me instead. They said this gave them an opportunity to take a mini-vacation and see the daughter they have not seen since early May. Of course, the other motive of the trip was to meet Johnathon, the guy I've been dating for 15 months. I met his parents about two months after we began dating. Because we are an interracial couple, I was very nervous about what they would think. But they love me. Once we got to talking, I found myself hanging out at their house, going out for birthday dinners an...
interracial dating and the impact of hip hop music on black women
2007-11-27 07:22:00 Mara Schiavocampo, Digital Correspondent for "Nightly News," will address hot topics on interracial dating in the African American community:An Interracialfriends.com poll found that 81% of participants approved of black women dating non-black men. According to a U.S. Census Bureau report in 2000, 95,000 black women were married to white men. In 2005, that number increased to 134,000. Schiavocampo will talk to experts about the trend and discuss how this defines the "Black family" of the future. . Schiavocampo will convene a panel of leading black men and women from the hip-hop industry for a discussion on whether hip hop lyrics and videos positively or negatively affect black women. The roundtable also will address how these portrayals are affecting relationships between black women and black men. |
