I do not want a mixed race kid - is that racist?

Not quite. You have a valid point, but it's not exactly what's going on here. He noted a preference, not an intention to refuse to have sex with any woman who wasn't white (which if you're willing to have sex with them...) The comparable store scenario would be, "dang, I really wish those expletives wouldn't come into my store," but you don't do anything about it.

But you make a valid point.

 

Sex partner was just another scenario of preferences i added. All three are basically just his preferences.

 

It's still your bloodline even if you have it with a black or mexican woman. Theirs too obviously, but still also yours. Are you saying it will be more your bloodline if you have it with a white woman? Doesnt make any sense.

Not all non-white people are from the third world, nor are they all poor.

 

Wow I heard those same statements being made by folks who didn't want integration.

 

What kind of integration....forced? White kids forced into low preforming schools? Or black kids forced into white schools that focus less on the black experience and more on George Washington? I've seen arguments from whites and blacks on why forced integration is not a good thing---and none of the arguments were racist.

 

So you think the black kids should be forced to stay in the low performing schools and why are they low performing?

Why do they need to focus on the black experience? We live that everyday.

 

Nope. They should be able to choose where to send their kids. And the schools are low performing because the majority of the students come from chaotic backgrounds---fathers, uncles and brothers in prison, no father in the home etc. Its fine to have a small proportion of kids dealing with chaos...but its detrimental to the school's performance and discipline when its the majority of the kids.

In black majority schools---there are different priorities when it comes to history, preformances.... A couple of years ago they merged schools here in an attempt to save money by filling a building instead of having several buildings half full. The black parents were not wanting to send their kids to a "white" school. They were worried that their kids would not get the same black history perspective.

 

How about this, lets bring the low performing schools up to par with the schools that are not low performing.

That wasn't the case when schools were first integrated.

That changed after integration.

Really, how do you know that?

That's true to a certain degree, because in most majority white schools the only black history that is really taught is slavery. Black kids and white kids don't hear all the inventions and discoveries made by blacks, so they grow up believing that black folks have never contributed anything to the society.

 

The problem goes well beyond schools. Parental involvement, family stability and support from the family--as well as the emotional health of the child does a lot in regards to a learning environment.

I agree. I think the black community was much healthier back in the 60's when integration was pushed.

These schools aren't integrated....the problems schools with notable exceptions---are majority black. We have a stellar black majority black high school---but it demands parental involvement and will not accept problems.

It was my kid's school that was going to accept the black students. The parents were very vocal about wanting their kids educated on black culture. The parents were given leeway to have their kids bused to another, black majority school.

Well that's another issue perhaps for another thread.

 

Yes, we are all made of DNA. The very concept of micro-organism is an idiocy. You are the kind of person that would discriminate against amoebae: stop the hatred and bigotry. There is only one organism: the organism.

 

Well the definition is difficult to pin down since nowadays you are considered a racist only if you don't like people of African-American bloodlines. You are considered a bigot, on the other hand, if you do not like -- say -- people of mixed Spanish and Native-American/Indigenous population bloodlines who evince brown skin tones. Then there is regional ethnic bigotry. Do you feel the same way about people of Greek or Italian ancestry with brown skin tones? So it gets complicated. Thus technically you are both a racist and a bigot with some possible category exceptions. But what does it really matter? What you are or what you might be in regards to racism or bigotry is hardly going to affect the rest of the world in any significant way . . . and I write that as a fellow with a distinctive brown skin-toned Italian ancestry.

Most likely you pretty much treat human beings on an individual basis. In other words you are -- perhaps -- more likely to befriend a really decent Black guy than a total rump-hole of a Lilly-White fellow who personally sets your teeth on edge. Regardless of skin color you treat people like people even if inside you might prefer to associate with people of a certain melanin count or even of a certain type of facial features.

So -- aside from all this being no skin off my nose -- I have far more problems with people who go out of their way to treat people in social situations with skin tones or ethnic features different from their own badly simply because they look different. But then again . . . perhaps that's just me.

 

It is actually a deep natural survival instinct to avoid different. As far as having sex, my GF says men will screw anything that moves so that is besides the point.

 

I could never marry a fat lady. I would never marry a tall lady. I would never marry a tom boy. I would never marry a dark-skinned lady. I choose by visual characteristics that I prefer. Anyone who denies doing the same is lying. I don't fault anyone who has preferences. Call me any name you wish, It changes nothing.

 

Whatever floats your boat, dude. I personally don't care what a person's preferences are. If you don't like dark-skinned women that's your business. I'm more concerned with how you treat people than what you prefer.

 

No, it's not. Good grief, how ridiculous.The things that pass for racism these days, borders on insanity.

 

Well said.

 

No, technically is an expression [by superior thought through language] of a human psychological characteristic ... group membership or if you want group competition. Stronger is this sense of membership and we will feel less interest for persons not member of our own "group" [just not to use the word "race"].

It's just a matter of likes and dislikes.

In fact it would be against human rights the other way round: a state forcing [by law!] persons to have mixed race children ...

 

whats not?

 

Can't you link back and read your own posts?

 

thats why we call you what we do.

you want me to read the entirety of this dumbass thread?

 

There is nothing wrong with not wanting to date a black woman or marry one and have kids. What is wrong is disliking someone because of the color of the skin, or the shape of the nose, or the size of the mouth, etc. Now that makes you a racist.

 

no it isnt. its retarded behavior. as in less advanced in mental, physical, or social development than is usual for one's age

 

I think humans have been around so long that we all are a mixture.......

Why is this an issue for you? Just have a baby with another white person....

 

What do deep instincts have to do with 'advanced' anything?

 

There is nothing racist for wanting an adopted kid to look as much like you as possible. It makes it easier for the kid to blend in with the family and feel accepted. It also minimizes the number of times his friends bring up the "adoption" subject. Why would a kid. that stands out and screams "I'm adopted", be more suitable for a family? Aren't we looking for a home that suits the kid?

I realize their are unequal numbers of kids and same race homes available and mixed race homes will happen and that's fine, but it's not racist to try to provide a home where the kid feels just like his new siblings. The kid may not even know they are adopted for a while. I have friends who have adopted 2 kids and didn't tell them they were adopted until they were 9 and 11. It's working out great for the whole family. I have other friends who adopted a Chinese girl with a cleft pallete and she is about 7 now and beautiful. It's kind of strange hearing a deep TX accent coming from a Chinese girl, but she has a great home.
