"I would love to discuss this….but, it feels like there is no room for discussion here" "I am not opposed to having the particular racial issue(s) brought to my attention" "by constantly calling a duck, a goose….when a duck actually does come around, people won’t take it as seriously. Kinda like the Boy Who Cried Wolf" I got hit with three on my blog tonight…

You could try reading up on issues of colorism, passing,miscegenation laws, slave marriage rights, or any of that, instead you're going to cry "reverseracism" because clearly white people'sfuture depends on their ability to date POC, right?

If an adult does it they are (rightfully) put in jail for cruelty to a minor, yet if a kid punches an adult they get away scot-free and claim injustice when their wrong is pointed out. I agree with many of the posts here on this blog, but pointing out dating bigotry in one group while saying it's basically ok in another group is unfair. Have you maybe stopped to consider maybe some don't date outside their group because of past experience? Here’s how it’s different.

Studies have shown that, in our culture, people are indoctrinated from a young age to see people with dark skin as ugly and undesirable. Even people whose skin is brown. This is not controversial, this is a very well researched topic that is easy to prove with kids and adults. So, if someone refuses to date someone of color, in our society, chances are it has to do with this ingrained racism. If someone of color wants to date someone of color, they are working against this institutional racism. C, it is the same.
