My opinion

Quote From: harmony_1

I am a mother of a 17 very soon to be 18 year old girl.  She is beautiful usually makes good choices never has gave us any trouble of any kind. Makes good grades in school,we attend church in which she is very involved.  My question is she is in a interacial dating relationship. I like this other person very well really have no problems with him but the issue is one is black one is white.  My worry is that if they would get married and have children how will these children survive? I mean in the since how will society treat them?  That worries me and bothers me. They decide their future but the children have no say. Recently I was filling out a form for my daughter and the question was a typical question every form asks, you are supposed to mark the box that applies to you,white,black or other? It just hit me,will her baby be mark "other"? I don't know I want the best for her and her future. He is wonderful to her and has a great future ahead of him. This would be the first interacial marriage if it came to that for our family and we do have family members that would not accept that. I would never do anything that would destroy the relationship my daughter and I have .  What do others think about this? I would appreciate your comments.  Thanks
In my opinion, if this person treats your daughter w/ dignity and respect, and show's her love and affection, and is caring towards her, and she's happy w/ him, then who cares what color he is! It is the year 2005, and we as Americans should be able to see beyond the color of someone's skin. I understand that you want the best for your daughter and her future, and the best thing you can do for her, is show her support, and let her know that you stand by her no matter what. Race will always be a factor to some people, and hey, you can't please everyone, but the important thing is that your daughter is happy. And since she is only 18, who knows, this might not even be the man she marries! She still has a lot of growing up to do. I am 22 and I can't even see marriage in my future until I'm 30!
