I’ve got a warning about hate and being racist…..

Look guys if I offend you about what I said about interracial relationships I’m very sorry. I wasn’t trying to hurt anybody. I was just stating my opinion and i just prefer my own race. I’m not trying to tell people what to do. They can do whatever they want but I was stating my opinion.

Oh you weren't offensive . There are some here who want to control and censor what we say. I married within my race and never considered dating outside of it when I was single. That's just the way I was raised. My black and hispanic co workers are not offended because my husband is white and we are not offended because their spouses are black and hispanic. I am not offended by those that found love outside their own race. They are cute and are very happy. You love who you love, just be happy.

@TexChik Thank you so much. I mean everyone was raised differently. I wasn’t trying to be offensive to anyone. I just prefer my own race and I was raised by it too. I have a cousin that dated a Latino and most of my family (not all) had a hard time accepting him.
We have another cousin (who is dead to us) that’s married to a black woman and has four children. His parents disowned him and refused to see their grandchildren. Most of us disowned him but not everyone.
For those who still talk to him we can’t make them stop talking to him, that’s their choice.

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@TurtlePink I see. I’ll admit they’re beautiful families, but I don’t support it at all. I just believe interracial relationships and marriage are WRONG.

That's just weird.

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@ninalanyon just being honest

Neoerectus · M

How in the world can you prefer something that is not objectively definable biologically? Race does not exist in biology other than MAYBE as a form of a phenotype descriptor. It is a self-created illusion.

It is a supeficial way to try to differentiate something as a means for then ascribing this or that as "superior." We are all blood and flesh bags on a pile of bones. ... and one of millions of species of "Earthlings." The 'race' descriptor is a tragicomedy at best. I am sad for you and hope life experience brings you greater wisdom.

ninalanyon · 61-69, T

@Neoerectus Exactly. And there is also more genetic variation within the so called 'races' than between them.
[quote]Ultimately, there is so much ambiguity between the races, and so much variation within them, that two people of European descent may be more genetically similar to an Asian person than they are to each other (Figure 2).[/quote]

They should respect your opinions

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@Sjones13 I know. I warned him that I was going to be blunt about my opinion. I prefer to stick with my own kind.

TurtlePink · 22-25, F

I think people should have the freedom to date any race they want. If you don’t like it, stay within your own race then

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@TurtlePink Exactly

revenant · F

How is that a violation lol !! ? Almost everybody stays within the same race but that does not mean they are racist. It is your own choice in life and does not regard anybody else.

LordShadowfire ·

@revenant She went so far as to say interracial relationships should be illegal. Now she's backtracking, saying it's just her opinion. But she flat out said interracial marriage should never have been legalized. That's why she was reported.

revenant · F

@LordShadowfire oh is that right ? illegal interracial relationships ? that is going a bit too far

ImperialAerosolKidFromEP · 46-50, M

@revenant it is, but as offensive as that is, I don't feel terribly comfortable with people being officially censured for giving a philosophical opinion. Especially when it is unevenly applied.

dale74 · M

Everybody is entitled to do as they wish. Like saying if i dont vote for Obama i was racist no just means i dont like the democratic platforms nothing more......

Carissimi · 70-79, F

I believe people are entitled to their opinions, and should be free to express them, regardless of topic, unless it’s something so heinous or unlawful.

@Tres13 Who the hell cares? They’re way more attractive than colored men.

Amyrakunejo · F

So, you prefer to mingle with other humans. Okay.

@PetiteJulie01
Oh, I get it. Another case of mixed up English.
Using 'race' instead of 'ethnicity'.

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@Amyrakunejo Excuse me?? 😳
I think you got confused about what my point is.

Amyrakunejo · F

@PetiteJulie01 Nope, I got it.
English is not my first language. I translate everything I read, but sometimes, I trip over expressions until I discover context, and then, I correct it internally.
...
It's not ethnicist to prefer relations with one's own ethnicity majority. It's only ethnicist to promote it in a hateful and spiteful manner.

LeopoldBloom · M

You can do what you want, but if you oppose interracial relationships, you’re a racist.

nedkelly · 61-69, M

I am not for mixed relationship - just personal opinion

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@nedkelly that’s okay! Nether am I. I don’t like interracial relationships. I love my white men too much.

smiler2012 · 56-60

{@petitejulie01] granted everyone is entitled to make a point but there are two golden rules . if the opinion is going too be deemed offensive it is best too think it rather than say it .just think about how you can express yourself carefully without what you say being taken out of context . 😄 a bit of an old mans advice there for you

Amylynne · 26-30, F

you get ot have you own opinion, even if ohters disagree
I disa gree, but support your right to talk about what you feel

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@Amylynne Thank you so much. I respect your opinion as well.

4meAndyou · F

You are not allowed to voice opinion about race if it violates the TOS on a public website.

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@4meAndyou true but everyone should have an opinion no matter how much people disagree with you. So there

4meAndyou · F

@PetiteJulie01 🤣🤣🤣 And neener neener neener...🤣🤣🤣

What do you think of Alabamians and Tennesseans dating?

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@Tennessee that’s fine. They can date who they want but it’s best to stick with their own race.

Tennessee · 46-50, F

@PetiteJulie01 or state too?

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@Tennessee states don’t matter but race in dating does

DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F

i feel the same way after stepping out 🤣

@PetiteJulie01 interracial dating

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@DeluxedEdition Good for you! Believe me, sticking with your OWN kind is the best decision ever! You won’t regret it. I mean people can do whatever they want, but I don’t like mixed dating.

DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F

I personally experienced a lot of racism when I did it outside of my race people think it’s OK to be racist towards white people and society seems to except that for some reason

Nonetheless u won’t make that mistake again @PetiteJulie01

MonaMartinez86 · 36-40, F

There’s nothing wrong with interracial relationships

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@MonaMartinez86 Okay that’s cool if you think that. I strongly disagree with you but I’ll respect your opinion.

ImperialAerosolKidFromEP · 46-50, M

So this warning you got: it's about that post you made about disagreeing w/interracial relationships? Sorry to ask, but you're quite sure this isn't a straw man? The warning on your profile is about that post you made about disagreeing w/interracial relationships? It's not about something else?

MonaMartinez86 · 36-40, F

You mean warning

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@MonaMartinez86 oops thanks for correcting me

LordShadowfire ·

You stated the [i]opinion[/i] that interracial marriage should be illegal, as I recall.

I prefer dating folks who look like me as well, skin color wise. Having a "type" isn't racist. If that's all you were saying, that's different.

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@LordShadowfire That’s all I was saying. Preferring my own race gene it comes to dating isn’t racist. Let’s face the facts, MOST people prefer their own race and looks like them.

CorvusBlackthorne · M

@PetiteJulie01 My only problem is that you seem to be quite certain that you know what's best for everyone.

Neoerectus · M

@PetiteJulie01 No race gene exists. See my other comment.

caesar7 · 61-69, M

You are 110% allowed to share your opinions....why is it always ok for the people who think they have a voice but not others. Share your thoughts whether they are unpopular or not. You have the right!!!

CorvusBlackthorne · M

@caesar7 I recall her specifically saying that interracial marriage should never have been legalized. Do you stand by that opinion? Do you defend it? Keep in mind, the First Amendment does not specify that one cannot have one's posts deleted on social media by the owner of the website if the owner decides they are inappropriate.

LordShadowfire ·

@caesar7 I don't think you quite get how terms of service work. Just sayin'.

candycane · 31-35, F

Yup i got one too it's that time of month for admin

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@candycane Is the admin female? If so it makes sense…
