Interracial couple kissing - Is such a buzz warranted?

Posted by Ria, 27 Apr

interracial kissSt. Louis Post-Dispatch Go! Magazine hadn’t seen this one coming when they ran the story “The 7 Best Places To Smooch” – Inflammatory racist reader comments. The comments had nothing to do with the story itself but this photo of a black man kissing a white woman that went along with it. Here are a few of the sampled comments:

“Haven’t read the story but don’t like to see blacks and whites kissing.”

“This doesn’t surprise me at all. Libs take every opportunity they can to shove miscegenation in our faces. Now that TV has to show blacks in every commercial, notice that they are always posed beside a blonde woman. Not a brunette, a blonde. Its done for shock value. Sickening that a once proud newspaper would resort to this. Joe Pulitzer is turning over in his grave in shame.”

… and those are just the subtle ones...

The couple on the above cover is a real couple and not just models. Chris Spencer and his girlfriend Emilee Murphree have been together for 2 ½ years. And seeing how their interracial kiss made many in St. Louis queasy had made Chris angry at first...

According to a Gallop poll of 2007, 77% Americans claim to approve of interracial marriage. But do we really approve of such relationships if a mere photo of an interracial couple kissing can make people have hot flushes? What was the real issue here? An interracial couple kissing? A black-white couple kissing?

All Chris had to say was: "This is one of the first times it's slapped me back to reality that people like this exist.". So much for our "beyond race" nation!

    I guess I'm in the minority, in that I feel that the MAJORITY of Americans don't like interracial dating. They just won't say it because they want to be "pc" and don't want to be called a racist. There are MORE people out there that don't like it, but just won't say.

    I felt compelled to post my feelings on this subject because I am a white woman who was raised in a white community who never really gave dating outside my race much thought until much later in life. I was about 38 years old when I met a man who was of a mixed race. I was so highly attracted to him, that when he asked me out, I never gave his color a second thought. After dating him awhile, I fell in love with the skin contrast and have dated multi racial or blacks ever since. There is something about it that one really cannot explain. If you have never dated outside your race, you are not qualified to comment on the subject because you are ignorant to what it is like to do so, and if you have never dated outside your race, you should try it before you voice an opinion about such a thing. There are worse things in this world than people of different colors dating and marrying. My God are we THAT shallow that such trivial things bother us? The bottom line is....people are people! Get over it!!!!

    77% of us on around the world have agreeded that we are the majority (interracial couples ) We rule plain and simple. The 23% are slowly dwendeling away and soon there will be a total and complete change. Even here in Delaware (wasn,t born here) I see the transformation coming at an fast pace.That magazine cover was embraced and the person making the statement is probably activly seeking an interracial relationship to fullfill his/her secret desire to kiss a person of color. I recently was in a heated debate with a white police officer who strongly admitted that he wouldn't date a black woman well turns out that he is strung out on sisters now after he was approached by a sexy sister and she kissed him at a function we had , he is like the whispers song for Olivia says "Lost and Turned out". Ha Ha . Aint life grand we just tok another one in. He is a changed man now and cant hep but explain his new experiences to me.

    I totally agree with totallybliss, prejudice will always live with us till end of time, there will always be those die hard people who cling to hatred. As long as we have the majority on our side. I have always being open minded about life in general, but even with so much openess nothing really prepare you to actual understand another race until you date one. To crosseye, I empathise with you on your girl issue. One thing you have to understand is that taking a step to date outside your race like NOPLAYER is not for the faint heart. There is so much resistance and especially from the closest people from our lives. It will take someone who is emotional mature to heck this one. That is why some people can not make it to long term relationship because the pressure is just too much.

    I have one more thing to say not that it’s really about that magazine but I’m heated now, so here it goes…I dated a black girl for three years then I proposed to her. When I met her she had a baby whose father was not in the picture so as the child got older he believed I was his dad and that was awesome because that boy was a big part of my heart. Well after I put the ring on her finger, that changed everything in the minds of her family especially her mother, she didn’t want that to happen and she didn’t stop until she won and got into her daughters head. The sad thing is…that family saw how much I loved that child and vise versa and their daughter and they looked at me like I was below them. This is a family who went to church every Sunday, fed the homeless and put their money in the collection plate every week. Her family pretty much won and she ended up cheating on me and the thing that hurt the most was losing that relationship that I had with that child. Glad I don’t go to that church and I hope that boy grows up to respect all human beings because you never know when your entertaining angels! Crosseye

    Ya know, if people would just shut the hell up and stop wasting energy focused on other human beings, and worry about their own problems within, we would have such a better place to live, but I know it's to easy isn't it? I guess I will never understand how someone can create so much anger if they see me kiss another human being with a tan when really that anger existed way before they seen the kiss. It must suck to walk through life hating your own self but I won't judge you that's not my job, whatever you do is between You and God! So have fun with that one and remember this...there is only one race, the human race. "Peace In" Crosseye

    It has been said before, and I guess I just feel the need to repeat it. Yes it is a shame that ignorance is still alive and well. But to think that one day there will be a complete acceptance of people of all races, creeds, colors, religions, sexual orientation. That will never happen. Not in our life time, and most likely never. Throughout history, there has always been prejudice, racism, sexism, class discrimination, and more isms. And like it or not, we live in a country where we are free to speak out minds. So, not that I agree with the ignorant mindsets of those who are unwilling to Love in the way that God intended. But I will always be aware that they exist, and despite their presence, I do believe that the majority is still on our side, and that is all that matters.

    Change is hard for most people. I agree with kristent comment on the history of this country. The eastern US was colonized by prudes. It is one thing to say that you accept interracial relationships, its another to go out and date other races. I think dating people of different backgrounds gives people a chance to learn from one another and see things from a different perspective. Relationships are fun and exciting no matter what their color or background is. I can't change the way ignorant people think, I can only think for myself and influence others. I don't think the magazines should change their advertising policy based on 23% of racists. If they don't like it they can start their own magazine.

    Brandenhuggs in answer to your question. The people at pepperridge farms need to be applauded. In their commercial for stuffing during the holidays. They had an entire family. Black wife/white husband with his/her parents at the table for dinner. It aired the entire holiday season. It was on CBS down here in the Dirty South!!!

    Quote: imaro "Well, having been in this area for about 8 years or so I am intimately familiar with the political/social climate, and, quite frankly, Missouri, being a state of the Deep South, is perhaps the least enlightened state I’ve yet lived in, not surprisingly. It is shockingly segregated. I have yet to see an interracial couple here, as opposed to several in the ‘northern’ states." Nice. Thanks for speaking for the rest of us Missourians. I guess I are just a dum suthernur. Too bad fer all us dum "unenlightened" suthernurs. Wees don't have as much learnins as you smart 'northern' staters. I happen to agree with NOPLAYER. I've seen (and participated in) IR dating quite often here in the Lou. There is still some racist sentiment around. You'll see racist comments in the comments section of the online Dispatch (often when there's a gangland shooting) but I've never been hassled in St. Louis on an IR date. I've seen IR couples quite often. (I have no idea where Wyatt Earp has been hanging out.)

    I have to agree with 45browneyes' comment to a certain extent. I too wonder if there would have been as much a big deal if it was a pic of a black woman and a white man kissing. I think interracial couples should be shown more often in commercial ads and not just in an ad like this one that emphasizes their relationship.

    Okay, here's my take: Kissing good; racism bad. Not only that but it is none of my business when or where two adult human beings want to kiss. I would have to abstain from the vote (though if pressed [or paid] to express my opinion of course I would fall into the 77%). It doesn't surprise me but it does amaze me that this is an issue in 2009. That horse has left the barn. No sense in trying to close the door. I do recognize that racism is alive and well in America. Morninflower, in support of your idea of a public interracial PDA event, I volunteer to come and kiss you in the middle of Centennial Olympic Park whenever you choose. Maybe the demonstration should even be taken on the road. Aren't I big-hearted?

    There's nothing wrong with that cover! A good looking man kissing a good looking woman. Who cares! You would think that by now this would seem irrelevant but i guess not, can't help that there's still small-minded people in the world. Let me go find a good looking man of any color to give me a smooch! :)

    I once read a very profound statement that has stuck with me all these years...."He who angers you, controls you." That hit home with me then and I thinks it's appropriate to this situation. We cannot let the ignorant minority of bigots in this country anger us. That just gives them power. Even acknowledging their complaints over the picture is giving them a voice. I say ignore them, shut 'em down.

    Being from St. Louis, IR dating is common and up in your face. If you go out to malls, down on the river front or in the Centralwest end you see it, so it's not a shock. You still have those old hardliners around and you'll just have to let them die out. When you look at the youth and how they're turning their backs on their parents and their hang-ups about race, it's a good sign that things are changing. As I've always said IR dating is not for the weak at heart.

    I am a black man and I have dated interracially and i am for interracial dating as long as people love each other and consider each other's race to be equal to their race, and that's why it pisses me off when people say, oh it's 2009 and America isn't racist anymore and hey a black man is even president now etc etc....well I have a question for them...we have all seen probably millions of commercials...can anyone name me ONE commercial out of those millions that has a black man/white woman couple kissing in it or even holding hands? Think about that. Think and think... And then realize the obvious...it's one thing for interracial couples to be in TV shows, but companies even now in 2009 do not want to risk being associated with a black man/white woman couple in a TV commercial. And then think about how many TV commercials u have seen with romantic interaction between a white man and a black woman. I've seen several. Any guesses as to why that is the case even though the black man/white woman interracial couple is much more common in real life? Good ole Amerikkka. Peace.

I wonder if I could put together an interracial PDA Stunt thing at Centennial Olympic Park just to stick it to these ignorant bastards! - sigh! but then.. I would just be sinking down to their level.. - Anyway! this is a great eye opening article that racism and ignorance is still very much alive and well...

    Love is truly amazing when you found that person to share it with. Yeah i'm a blk male and i feel that talk is cheap until you experience it for yourself.You will never know how much love there is from someone opposite of your race.Interracial dating can happen to you or anyone and when it does your whole perspective about comments,reactions,and negativity will change.Love is a blast outside your race whether its spiritual or physical because you learn from each other.My friend try it once and you will see.

    I encountered the same sort of reaction. While on a date at Myrtle Beach a woman said directly to my date and I upon seeing us kiss, "That's the most disgusting thing I've seen!" My response, "You apparently haven't looked within yourself in a long time. You're going to be really scared if and when you do." I don't think she understood my point. I have to admit to my self consciousness in my early to mid twenties, but glad that sanity won. Peace of any kind in my opinion is an inside job. Like Chris in the article, I'm often angered initially, but it subsides quickly. "Forgive them for they know not..." that they are being A$$holes.

    I don't think 23% is high enough, alot more people have a problem with interracial dating than will actually say. That really doesn't matter though, I've been exclusively dating black women for more than 10 years and I could care less what anyone thinks about it. I look at that picture and crack a smile because I'm just thinking that's one more black woman out there for me to chose from. After a while you tend to just focus on who is in front of you because that's really the only person who truly matters. Everyone else and what they think doesn't mean a thing, they wouldn't be so concerned if they had their life on track.

    @Kristent Thank you for pointing that out to me. If I recall there were a fair share of dutch people among them aswel. But ever since I watched and read ROOTS I have been looking at this stiuation. That is allmost 30 years now. And many times I see things happen and I think hey it's going better and then I see examples of the opposite. And that makes me sad. But in your country It's still happening every day. And indeed we have our own problems, even with racial discrimination. Even were affected by it once, when my kids were selling there toys in the streets, to raise money for Tsunami victims. My youngest was 5yrs old and asking everyone who passed by for a small donation when one man said"screw them let them die tey are all (n-word) anyway. I almost exploded and would have gone after him if it wasn't for my kid being present. I did have some explaining to do when we got home though.

    I think that the picture is beautiful especially the contrast of the dark skin with the milky white skin. For all you haters stop hating because no matter what we are all God's children and we all bleed the same color blood. I think that we should be able to love whomever we choose no matter what race we are. I had a relationship with a latin man and a lot of the brothers hated it but whenever we got the chance we really showed people how much we cared for one another. I have a beautiful daughter from that relationship and she shares enormous beauty from both of our races and culture. I say more power to you and love who you want to love.

I don't mind the stares when I get them... it's really kinda of sad but funny that in 2009 it's still not socially acceptable. Whatever, I just give em something to stare at...lol My man doesn't mind. :)

Love is so special and finding someone to commit to, is an irreplaceable beautiful part of life so you cannot let your love be tarnished by people who don't understand you. Just keep loving and more love will come to you.

    Heck no the response is not warranted! Those people should mind their own business and leave that couple alone! They were not doing anything to anyone. Heck I know of some of my black friends (males) who are great fathers and boyfriends so any stereotype that anyone can think of that says a black man is not good enough for a white woman does not hold water in my book. Have to take people on their own character and merit! Can't we judge a man based upon that in 2009?

    shreksdonkey, you are right; 23% is a large minority. Unfortunately change happens slowly. Remember, the USA was settled by religious groups who found Europe too liberal for their sensibilities. The US is far from perfect but we are all doing our best over here. I'm sure the Netherlands has its own unique societal problems that are probably as embarassing to you as the fact that there are racists in my country is to me. Just don't forget that 23% is still a minority, and we will not be discouraged no matter how long the journey.

    Words of wisdom from all of you... My guess is, 77% approve IN THEORY, but a good many of them are upset when they see if for real and not just as an abstract concept. My mother was like this; she raised me to be non-racist but when I dated a black woman she had a fit. Likewise, a few years ago, WalMart ran an ad for patio furniture, with an interracial family in the ad. One of my friends wrote them a letter praising them for using an interracial family in their advertising...but it turned out, the ad had been furnished by the patio furniture company and Walmart exacutives hadn't looked at it carefully. They wrote back, denying that the family was interracil, and promptly canceled the advertising. I guess this is what we can expect from an Arkansas company; as a general rule, people from Arkansas (and Maine) are the friendliest in the country, but most of them just don't get it when it comes to black & white. The only white woman I've dated in the last 15 years was from Arkansas, and she dumped me when she found out I also dated black women, saying, "How could you possibly have anything in common with someone from another culture?" It's no wonder Eisenhower had to send in Federal troops to face down the Arkansas National Guard in Little Rock; traditions die hard in the heartland. Actually, I suspect the newspaper deliberately used an interracial couple to attract attention...not that I mind. I welcome everything that portrays interracial relationships as acceptable and normal, and everything that provokes people into discussing them. And I think we do need to worry about the minority, in terms of letting us know that there is still work to be done educating these ignorant people. I'm not going to let them bother me, but I am going to be concerned that there are still people who think like that.

    Excuse me but I find it unbelievable that this thing is still going in your country. I am from the Netherlands and these seems to be like from another planet to me. And every time I see or read about it i get pissed off. Just for the fact that it is still happening on an every day basis. Kristent mentions 23%. Well for me that is a really big minority. It seems there is atill a long way to go in your country. @lolcat82 I agree but i believe that ignoring doesn't make it go away. Thank god these things stay limited to very small incidents in our country. By the way I am from the Netherlands europe.

    @kristent, i agree :) Why should we worry about the minority that care anyway? Who are they to stop two people that care for each other? It's time we stopped worrying about bigots and got on with our lives. They only have as much power as we give them by acknowledging their existence as thorns up our backsides. Let's starve them of that gratification. Peace.

    I'd like to know how many people complained about it. Really, come on, there is always going to be SOMEONE that complains. Why does that surprise anyone or is the fact that anyone complained being stirred up alittle to make IT the issue?

    Funny you don't hear such comments with celebs like Halle and the sex God she's with. Nothing about Hiedi and Seal either. I think its jealousy. They wish they could get a hot guy or girl of another race! Keep on secretly wishing with your backwoods minds! LOL

    I think when something like this happens we all just need to remember that it is the intolerant minority that is always the most vocal. That 23% can make a lot of noise, but they don't represent everyone.

    It's spring and I think all of us should smooch in the streets as much as possible! More interracial PDA...that's what I'm talkin about. It's a beautiful thing.

    Talk is cheap! speaking of the 77% that approve, action speaks louder than words and if a picture can cause such an uproar then we are not beyond racism as we think.It's a black-white thing not an interracial thing. It's time the nonsense end. We are all of the human race however you twist it turn it or wind it!!

Coaching Testimonial

"My online love inspiration angel"

Submitted by: Patricia, USA, 21

To be honest, in the beginning, I thought it would be a waste of time. But since I've never seen a similar service in any other dating site, I decided to give it a try.

I always "thought" my profile was on point and I did not need any help to correct my page. I always had in my profile if someone is not attracted to my profile, then that's "their" loss.

BOY WAS I WRONG!!

I will never forget my first time using the Coaching Service I was introduced to my personal Dating Coach. Let me put it this way, if it was not for her I would have given up long time ago (even though I'm a new member).

She taught me so many things and gave me good advice, I did not want to stop chatting with her at all.

She opened my eyes to many possibilities when finding love. She is definitely an inspiration and I appreciate a whole lot. She is more than a Dating Coach to me; she is more of a close friend/guide to me. She is definitely my "online love-inspiration angel".
