From a DelphiForums.com discussion forum I sometimes visit: blackgold51 said:
I posted an article, "For Better Or Worse," written by an older black man, whose wife is white, who has experience being in an IR relationship. As yet, even he was not convinced whether IR relationships will tend to improve relations among persons. I am sure he had his own personal reasons, besides what was stated in his article, for feeling that way.
I never stated that "interracial" relationships were supposed to "improve relations among persons" and have to wonder why people who AREN'T in "interracial" relationships keep trying to put that requirement on those of us who are. It makes no sense. Deal with people as individuals, instead of compartmentalizing us into us vs. them groups.

So, I still say that, "interracial" relationships may or may not be for the best. You can't tell me that they are for the best. And, it is true that they are still not widely accepted here in the U.S. and that is one thing that is hard to understand. And, you cannot tell me that is not true.
I can tell you that anyone who is NOT in an "interracial" relationship has no clue what they are talking about with regard to them and is not doing those of actively in such relationships any favors. Refer back to my earlier post. I've been in an "interracial" relationship for a decade now and can speak from experience, you are only guessing and repeating third hand opinions from others.
