dating violence stories

Have any of you in an interracial relationship experienced violence reactions b/c of it?

I can’t help but notice that the world’s views on interracial dating are changing. Yay! I am black and several of my cousins have interracial marriages. I’m so proud of my family, whether they had married within our race (black) or another race i think it really says something about how we have progressed. I’m just glad they are happy.

Anyways the threat of violence and hearing/reading stories about violent beatdowns and nasty comments directed at these couples while walking down the street leave me outraged! My female cousin and her (Caucasian) husband travel a lot and they STILL get the comments and the stares. but none of them have encountered violence. that would not stop me from marrying interracially if the man i love just happens to be anything other than black. i deserve to be happy.

So i wanted to know what you other interracial couples have experienced as far as stares, comments, and violence towards you?

I am white. My lady is black. We have been together for quite some time now. Although we live in the south, the city we live in is quite diverse and we have never had any real problems, other than an occasional stare. Interracial couples are quite common in our neck of the woods.

The closest we came to violence was one evening when we were coming out of an eatery, some good old boys in a truck drove by and yelled “n. . . . lover!’ at me. Since my lady and I are both veterans able to take care of ourselves, I (ahem) politely invited them to return for further discussion of our relationship. They withdrew in great haste.

I was thankful that I didn’t have to explain to the cops how my sweet lady had broken a couple of rednecks into small pieces and spread them around a parking lot.

Other than that, we have never had any problems.
