15 Powerful Portraits Of Interracial Couples Paired With The Racist Comments They Received
We might not be done with prejudice and racism just yet. Donna Pinckley highlights this social problem by taking photos of interracial couples in the Southern states of the US and pairing them with the hateful comments they’ve received from rude people over the years. She takes the photos in black and white to emphasize the affection these biracial couples have for each other instead of focusing on their skin tones.
The photo series titled “Sticks and Stones” was inspired by a girl from the photographer’s previous project. “Her mother and I were catching up in the kitchen when she told me of the cruel taunts hurled at her daughter for dating a boy of another race,” Pinckley wrote in her artist statement. “As she was speaking I was reminded of another mother in another kitchen many years ago, whose daughter had been the object of similar racial slurs. What struck me was the resilience of both couples in the face of derision, their refusal to let others define them.”

Share on FacebookUnfortunately, you cannot take the stupid out of people. The folks who made those horrible comments will continue to make those comments, regardless of photos, articles or any other means of displaying their ignorance. The only people who appreciate "art" such as this are those who aren't racial in the first place.
It's important to show there are many people who are against racism and it's bad to be racist, though.

People can be so mean sometimes, it's disgusting. Have they nothing else to do with their life than judge the life of others badly just because they are jealous nobody loves them?
Exactly! I was hoping to see some aliens but.......oh well.....
Load More Replies...I am 55 and all my life I was sure racism would not be an issue for my grandchildren but clearly it is. I don't use the word hate often but I hate racists and I hate racism.
I don't see anything wrong with these good people having relationship with someone outside their own race. We are all human. Only good and bad define who we are.
The ONLY time that interracial couples are ever an issue is when you don't understand your partners culture. If the cultures and lifestyles are the same or you are willing to adjust it doesn't matter if you are black, white, pink, green or blue! You can make it work
True. But even in that case you can learn from one another about each others' cultures. And you'll see not even that matters that much after all. Talking from personal experience.
Load More Replies...I love interracial marriage so much....interracial marriage is the only hope for the world to become one and fight- violence, terrorism, racism, poverty and every other form of human problems. I wish I could find a humble white lady to spend the rest of my life with...I really wish it could come to reality. I am black and I love white and red indies....
You clearly missed the point of the project. Supporting people's right to love someone of another race is not the same as blatantly rejecting your own by wistfully dreaming of a "humble white woman." Being open minded means accepting love in ANY form in which it may present itself.
Load More Replies...disgusting,hateful, vile people who say comments like that. People fall in love irrespective of race,colour or religion, its called 'love',which obviously the bigoted idiots have never experienced.
All humans will be a lovely shade of cafe au lair some day. With the human race's ability to travel, interracial families will become the norm. And it's a beautiful thing!
these are beautiful people...no one has the right to judge...for any reason....best wishes for all....
Surprised that people would post hate comments about race, and still want to be treated as a equal. But in their minds, they feel superior. My family is beautiful, and no comments will divide us. If pigment is a problem, maybe sight was not a blessing for you?!
"why are you with her?" sooooo racist but anyway, good thing you're showing the black against white racism. very important as blacks are denying it's existance.
I think many of these negative comments come from the "theory" that the one who gets together with someone of another race does that becausw he/she wasn't successful enough (a.k.a. "was a loser") with those in his/her own. But I think that theory was made up by secretly jealous bullies who don't want to admit there's somebody cooler than them.
Wow how sad that these people have to deal with such hate, just to be with the person they love!!
I congratulate every person in the photographs have value but especially feel love and defend it from human stupidity
I loved the photos my understanding doesn't stretch to those vile, narrow minded people who don't know better. I think all these people are gorgeous with each other.
There beautiful couples and the comments they got just pissed ne the hell off...if your happy and inlove you always get my support
I think these photographs were beautiful. The people seemed happy. People just need to leave each other alone. My husband is white I am black and chidren are mixed, absolutely beautiful.
I will bet most of the couples did not respond. I am a "white" appearing man, married to an Asian woman who is exceptionally good looking. The only negative comments I received were from other Asian men.
She just wants a green card?? My wife has been criticized by a group of Chinese people when they realized that she married me for love, not a green card.
Where these a******s like it or not, interracial marriages are not going away. 50 years from now nothing would make me happier than seeing the majority of Americans a shade of brown. Then all these racists will even be more marginalized and frustrated with something that is none of their damn business.
It's funny so many black people claim that they can't be racist. Some of these comments are proof that that is not the case at all. Not being OK with a white girl dating a black man and believing whites take all the good black men make them part of the problem. To end racism, you can't be racist. End of story.
NOTHING WRONG WITH INTERRACIAL RELATIONSHIPS. IF YOU HAVE TO JUDGE THEM THEN THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR OWN RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR BRAIN.
I'm white and married to a filipino and have 3 children. When we were first dating, I had a nasty old white man come up to me and tell me I needed to be with an American white man cause they know how to treat a woman. I just shook my head and told him, that's why I'm with my husband because he treats me the way no white guy has ever treated me. With respect. It shut him up and he moved along. This was 2yrs ago here in the south and that floored me but also made me think. Why can't people just mind their own business and let love fall to whomever it wants to fall to. Life's to short.
"Bitches like that is the reason we can't get a good black man" lmao no YOU are the reason why you can't get a good black man. Obviously you are not wanted don't blame white women cuz black men CHOOSE to be with them instead.
These comments made me both, sick to my stomach, and simultaneously embarrassed for the ignorance of people.
One of the worst I heard was, 'only whores go out with black guys.' (Only she didn't say black guys)
I never thought in a million years I would end up with a black guy. But I am MADLY in love and can't wait to start a family with him! Yes we get nasty looks buy I can care less! I've never been happier in my life! Everyone else can SUCK it!
While the comments are all disgusting, this one “What’s wrong with American women? Do you not like American women?” especially stands out for its stupidity., because quite probably the commenter did not have native American women in mind...Asian women being as American or non-American as Caucasian women...
Well I will have to say, mixed kids are the coolest and extraordinary looking to me personally! Why be diverse when you can love one another as a amazing human being instead of their looks or whatever. Ha RESPECT to those couples and others who are "different". Hell aren't we ALL DIFFERENT? I mean I'm considered in the Asian groups at my school though I copied and pasted like the other Asians lol God just ran out of ink when it came to me ^^
"why are you with her?" what's so racist? but anyway, good you showed the black against white racism as blacks deny its existance.
Love between two adults is always beautiful when is pure, no matter of race, sex or nation !
It is heart breaking to know people will hate you and wish ill upon you for loving who your heart chose. We have a son who is gay and dates outside his race, I would curse and or beat the hog c**p out of whomever has a problem with it. We teach our children to LOVE regardless of skin, race or religion. Much love and continued support and blessings to ALL the beautiful couples and their families in these photographs.
Every single photograph of these couples and their families is a beautiful heaven sent gift from our Creator. I wish them much continued love, blessings and support from those closest to them. I have a son who is gay and dates outside his race, and I'd curse and or beat the hog c**p out of whomever has a problem with it. We teach our children to LOVE regardless of skin or sex or religion. And whoever you LOVE, we will LOVE. It is heart breaking to know people will hate you and wish ill upon you for loving who your heart chose. Many blessings and continued support to ALL who
It wouldn't mater what you did or how you did it, there will always be judgemental jerks out there. Their comments don't define you, it defines them. Love doesn't discriminate :)
This is an exercise in futility... focusing on idiot statements , as something that has substance, or real... one should see couples like these as any common folk . when you add "interracial" as a label , you create the thing that makes them different than any other couples. we should be removing labels, titles, and seeing one another as One.
What the actual F** is wrong with the commentators? How is their choice of partner affect them in the least? They should maybe find a hobby so they stop thinking of useless things to say to others
Beautiful couples. Reading these comments makes me think "stupid a*****e" again and again. Some people just really need to learn to shut up.
Lets not forget we've come a long way, and applaud the couples that posted their photos. They have found someone and that's worth celebrating.
Those same people are now making comments about Muslims, and other people. They have nothing but hate in their hearts and think that everyone else must be the same.
cant believe this. makes me feel sad. but I love their super love showing in all the pictures!
I find the racist issues really disturbing. I mean, how can someone ask or say these c**p? Watch the value of the person, not de skin their in...
i think people act and talk like that are Terrorists , i call hate group Terrorists
Love is love. Who the heck cares what race or nationality people are. At the end of the day, we all bleed blood.
makes me want to cry. I have heard all of these of people over the years. Love is love and they don't define my love for my husband.
What's disgusting is people living with their head buried in the sand who can't see love staring back at them. Good for these people who have found that someone.
This makes me so angry! I wonder how many more generations it will take for this to be a non-issue? People are people...period! My son is married to a beautiful Asian woman and they have a precious little girl and my daughter's boyfriend is black and they are expecting my second grandchild. If I ever hear anyone say anything to or about my children and their spouses or my grandchildren, believe me, they will get an earful!
People with no lives so they try to make others miserable. Mental people man.
When will people learn that everyone is the same on the inside. What color the outside is, is not important.
If God made us and He did not make us all one color so why do people think they know more than God.
One of my favorite bosses has been in an interracial relationship/ marriage since the 1960s. I have incredible respect for the strength of their relationship. It should be easier now, so many years later.
All l see is cute couples, l don't understand some people's problem?!
people who think and say that are emotional hurting. also they are small minded!!
People are a******s rather its being racist or poking in your business. What do ya do? You do this don't give them that power, walk away and let them burn out.
These comments made me sick to my stomach, and simultaneously embarrassed for the ignorance of people.
It's a shame there is still so much hate in this country. When we going realize we all bleed red, scumbags, lazy, racist, alcoholic drug addicts come in all colors. I try raising my kids to not see color cuz it makes no difference. Love is love. People out there banging animals and corpses now that's disgusting not any of these couple s!
I really don't understand, we all bleed red, we all have the capacity to love, what does outward appearance matter, not at all in my mind
That's just sad. You can't pick who you fall in love with and in this day and age, it's good to see couples who got each other's back.
funny thing is all i see from this is subconscious jealousy, those are all 100% beautiful couples!
I haven't found in the bible where god said it was a sin to marry a different race....its said love all as I have loved you. love is from within, not from the outward color of skin. I do prefer my own race, not because I'm white, but because its my culture and prefer another who shares the same culture. But if god sends me a different race, that race will be it.
I love these pictures everybody deserves to be happy, love doesnt discriminate against race, gender or religion its a shame that people do though 😕
I'm 30 years old (I'm white). My husband-to-be is 58 (also white). I don't experience in an interracial relationship, but I think that couples with a significant age difference (15+ years) definitely experience discrimination, too. Not the same, and maybe not as much as those who break the color barrier, but I think it's all in the same general category. To those who don't like to see interracial couples, I only have to say, "You can't help who you fall in love with." In my case, I fell in love with a much older man. I don't like the dirty looks from people in the grocery store or wherever. I owe it to my fellow humans to not judge them when all they've done is to find love.
These negative comments coming from people who are ignorant, jealous, racist haters who don't have the moxie to LOVE DEEPER THAN SKIN. Just because someone is the "same race or same color" doesn't mean your meant for them. I've seen same race/skin color couples and the abuse towards one another is appalling. You can't be mad at people or show just because you don't like it ... are you going to pay their bills, get them through college buy them a house better yet get them into heaven or hell.... none of those questions can be (yes) and even if it's a yes .... please kick jagged rocks with open toed shoes or just use your heads bc clearly your not using your brain. NO ONE IS TELL YOU WHO TO LOVE, so keep your mouth shut and mind your own relationship if you even have one. And if your dumb enough to let someone dictate who you love and run your life then your a fool and you'll be letting someone else ruin your life while they get to live theirs. Bottomed line... Mind your own business!
I still can't get over the fact that people care about the skin color, the SKIN COLOR people!!! It's as freaking stupid as caring about the hair color or the eye color. It's just genetics, no one chooses what color they are born into and seriously, why give a s**t anyway?
I love the pictures of these beautiful couples. I love love... And it shouldn't matter... The heart wants what it wants and beats for them it doesn't see color. Only feels love
Theses couples are all beautiful! Haters will not ruin their happiness. I am myself in an interracial relationship. Skin color wasn't in my mind I just simply fell in love with the most beautiful person on hearth! Choose who you want and be happy!!
Some people have a horrible way of thinking 😩" if you have notjhing nice to say say nothing at all"color means nothing still a human being if only everyone thought like that!
My cousin married a Japanese-Hawaiian man. I can't rell you how much c**p.she's gotten. It was 1994, I thought people would be more open minded. I'm thrilled she married him, cause I got the best cousins in the world.
Heartbreaking comments. I had hoped that in my lifetime that would stop.
These were wonderful photos of interracial couples. None of us are truly 100% whether the haters want to believe it or not, we are all of mixed races. And for the haters, check your DNA back to the 1700-1800's or even earlier and you may be rather surprised at how blended you are.
There's a certain number of humans that just suck a*s. BUT honestly people are aware of this dumb s**t that's done by dumbasses. Why put this up? It just makes others copycat. Ignore dumb s**t! It works! You are the ruler of your own kingdom, just don't except this s**t in your world and keep on cause you can't change a******s.
one word i think sums up the portraits to me without reading the comments and that word is LOVE their love was so strong the traversed the hate stupidity anger directed towards them and have shown the world around them color is only the pigmentation derived from generations of a particular group in one geographic location longer then another group
I see that. Those people who has those thoughts they see the world out there like a Tv screen. They cant touch the reality. I been there, done did. When i hand my power to those thoughts controll what i see, what i heard.. was a dark time man, and thats when i gotta turn all the c**p upside down... its just life some recognize some dont
Those comments are so cruel. How could anyone ever look at any of those pictures and say such awful things? In what world is that OK?
It's sad how bitter, shallow and racist some people are. Deep inside they are just jealous they don't have what these people have. They don't deserve it anyway
It's sad how shallow, bitter and racist some people are. Deep inside they are just jealous they don't have what these people have. They don't deserve it anyway.
They're disgusting?! What?! But they look so beautiful together!! How can anyone say that??
The more interracial couples, the more beautiful kids on this planet!
people are so stupid!!! these are nice couples and beautiful families.
White people and black people are scared of what will happen in years to come...........everyone will be mixed....
I think the people in the pictures are beautiful! And the people making those thoughtless comments must be very damaged and in dire need of love themselves.
Beautiful portraits, horrible words what have we all fought for, for so long equality, peace, understanding . I hope one day the world evolves past all the hatred
These were all such beautiful couples. I have nothing but beautiful words for them and the beautiful children they have <3
The portraits are beautiful, the comments disgusting and the children divine.
My dad is black and my mom is white, DEAL WITH IT PEOPLE. Love is love and no one can change that.
So sad.... why is it so hard for people to love and accept one another? They are all beautiful couples and I am happy they are happy <3
All of these couples /families are beautiful. These commented are idiots. God bless all of these people in these pictures
Thank you for sharing this, in this country, in this day in age it's abhorrent that racism still exists, but what I'm truly appreciative of, about this particular post is that you have shown it comes from all sides. You have shown here that the color of your skin does not determine whether you are racist or not, hate in people's hearts has no color and neither does love. I hope in my lifetime that we as a people learn to be more accepting of each other and embrace each others differences.
The Photography and Solidarity of the Couples with Strong Looking Children what I mean
I just wonder who will be prejudice against who in another century.. Surely by then the earth will be such a mixture of cultures and races.?
These people are disgusting. The ones who find time out of their stupid, dull lives to comment on someone else's lives and call their lives to be disgusting.
Wow! And this happens in USA? The place that is trying to teach the rest of the world HOW TO F*****G live their lives?! SHAME!
I'm Deaf Black Woman Their Problems Calls say Racism as Racist are Lost Faiths Truths God Spirit Glory Heaven. No Matter What Their Race is Love have Good Personality as well . God is Love . .THEY don't understand mean Skin Race Blames themself trouble against God . Lost would not read BIBLE Spirit Love God as Love Their Goid Respect as Manner Understands Good Hearts. Are Same God is Love Honest Good Hearts Faiths Firm Righteous . More Humble God Respect Believe. Would not Hate Black and White any Race Skin . I don't Blame anyone no way Gid does can see them , God Knows JOB 42 :5 Opens the Read here BIBLE notice Facts ..
Love it about common interests and compatible personalities, outward appearance has little to do with that fact. Too bad petty, ignorant, envious people don't get that, or maybe they would be in a good relationship instead of commenting on other people's lives.
All humans will be a lovely shade of cafe au lair some day. With the human race's ability to travel, interracial families will become the norm. And it's a beautiful thing!
LOL I don't even get what that means for this couple......pretty sure HE doesn't use a comb.

Half of the "racist comments" have nothing to do with race. Also, I have been repeatedly told that minorities can't, in fact, be racist. Stop...baiting... This post is one giant virtue signal.
Wtf is wrong with the chick that wrote this?? Why? Just why?? The f**k is the point?? To divide people? Dumb b***h. I mean that whole heartedly. Debate me. We all read trolls and racist s**t... there's a lot more good things written than bad. So why not focus on them? Cause this b***h is racist and hates interracial couples. She doesent like seeing them and so tries to spread hate. F*****g b***h
Thee right he has taken a good black man, also took a good white man, 3 Asains of questionible standing, and a goat. Cats areevil, do not trust cats.
This was rasict. Does interracial mean white? 15 couples only one featured two non-white people? So the probably people have is with people who date white people? This is some white privileged bull. Everyone picks on white people. Like a black and Latino couple don't have problems or a asain and latino couple. White people get over yourselves. It isn't always about you. You can't claim people are rascist against you, when you are the rasict!
Maybe you missed the introduction in which real couples from the southern States were photographed. Racism appears in many forms, and I don't think the photographer was necessarily trying to depict all kinds of racism. But the majority of interracial couples IN THE SOUTHERN STATES are black/white.

Those same people are now making comments about Muslims, and other people. They have nothing but hate in their hearts and think that everyone else must be the same.
cant believe this. makes me feel sad. but I love their super love showing in all the pictures!
I find the racist issues really disturbing. I mean, how can someone ask or say these c**p? Watch the value of the person, not de skin their in...
i think people act and talk like that are Terrorists , i call hate group Terrorists
Love is love. Who the heck cares what race or nationality people are. At the end of the day, we all bleed blood.
makes me want to cry. I have heard all of these of people over the years. Love is love and they don't define my love for my husband.
What's disgusting is people living with their head buried in the sand who can't see love staring back at them. Good for these people who have found that someone.
This makes me so angry! I wonder how many more generations it will take for this to be a non-issue? People are people...period! My son is married to a beautiful Asian woman and they have a precious little girl and my daughter's boyfriend is black and they are expecting my second grandchild. If I ever hear anyone say anything to or about my children and their spouses or my grandchildren, believe me, they will get an earful!
People with no lives so they try to make others miserable. Mental people man.
When will people learn that everyone is the same on the inside. What color the outside is, is not important.
If God made us and He did not make us all one color so why do people think they know more than God.
One of my favorite bosses has been in an interracial relationship/ marriage since the 1960s. I have incredible respect for the strength of their relationship. It should be easier now, so many years later.
All l see is cute couples, l don't understand some people's problem?!
people who think and say that are emotional hurting. also they are small minded!!
People are a******s rather its being racist or poking in your business. What do ya do? You do this don't give them that power, walk away and let them burn out.
These comments made me sick to my stomach, and simultaneously embarrassed for the ignorance of people.
It's a shame there is still so much hate in this country. When we going realize we all bleed red, scumbags, lazy, racist, alcoholic drug addicts come in all colors. I try raising my kids to not see color cuz it makes no difference. Love is love. People out there banging animals and corpses now that's disgusting not any of these couple s!
I really don't understand, we all bleed red, we all have the capacity to love, what does outward appearance matter, not at all in my mind
That's just sad. You can't pick who you fall in love with and in this day and age, it's good to see couples who got each other's back.
funny thing is all i see from this is subconscious jealousy, those are all 100% beautiful couples!
I haven't found in the bible where god said it was a sin to marry a different race....its said love all as I have loved you. love is from within, not from the outward color of skin. I do prefer my own race, not because I'm white, but because its my culture and prefer another who shares the same culture. But if god sends me a different race, that race will be it.
I love these pictures everybody deserves to be happy, love doesnt discriminate against race, gender or religion its a shame that people do though 😕
I'm 30 years old (I'm white). My husband-to-be is 58 (also white). I don't experience in an interracial relationship, but I think that couples with a significant age difference (15+ years) definitely experience discrimination, too. Not the same, and maybe not as much as those who break the color barrier, but I think it's all in the same general category. To those who don't like to see interracial couples, I only have to say, "You can't help who you fall in love with." In my case, I fell in love with a much older man. I don't like the dirty looks from people in the grocery store or wherever. I owe it to my fellow humans to not judge them when all they've done is to find love.
These negative comments coming from people who are ignorant, jealous, racist haters who don't have the moxie to LOVE DEEPER THAN SKIN. Just because someone is the "same race or same color" doesn't mean your meant for them. I've seen same race/skin color couples and the abuse towards one another is appalling. You can't be mad at people or show just because you don't like it ... are you going to pay their bills, get them through college buy them a house better yet get them into heaven or hell.... none of those questions can be (yes) and even if it's a yes .... please kick jagged rocks with open toed shoes or just use your heads bc clearly your not using your brain. NO ONE IS TELL YOU WHO TO LOVE, so keep your mouth shut and mind your own relationship if you even have one. And if your dumb enough to let someone dictate who you love and run your life then your a fool and you'll be letting someone else ruin your life while they get to live theirs. Bottomed line... Mind your own business!
I still can't get over the fact that people care about the skin color, the SKIN COLOR people!!! It's as freaking stupid as caring about the hair color or the eye color. It's just genetics, no one chooses what color they are born into and seriously, why give a s**t anyway?
I love the pictures of these beautiful couples. I love love... And it shouldn't matter... The heart wants what it wants and beats for them it doesn't see color. Only feels love
Theses couples are all beautiful! Haters will not ruin their happiness. I am myself in an interracial relationship. Skin color wasn't in my mind I just simply fell in love with the most beautiful person on hearth! Choose who you want and be happy!!
Some people have a horrible way of thinking 😩" if you have notjhing nice to say say nothing at all"color means nothing still a human being if only everyone thought like that!
My cousin married a Japanese-Hawaiian man. I can't rell you how much c**p.she's gotten. It was 1994, I thought people would be more open minded. I'm thrilled she married him, cause I got the best cousins in the world.
Heartbreaking comments. I had hoped that in my lifetime that would stop.
These were wonderful photos of interracial couples. None of us are truly 100% whether the haters want to believe it or not, we are all of mixed races. And for the haters, check your DNA back to the 1700-1800's or even earlier and you may be rather surprised at how blended you are.
There's a certain number of humans that just suck a*s. BUT honestly people are aware of this dumb s**t that's done by dumbasses. Why put this up? It just makes others copycat. Ignore dumb s**t! It works! You are the ruler of your own kingdom, just don't except this s**t in your world and keep on cause you can't change a******s.
one word i think sums up the portraits to me without reading the comments and that word is LOVE their love was so strong the traversed the hate stupidity anger directed towards them and have shown the world around them color is only the pigmentation derived from generations of a particular group in one geographic location longer then another group
I see that. Those people who has those thoughts they see the world out there like a Tv screen. They cant touch the reality. I been there, done did. When i hand my power to those thoughts controll what i see, what i heard.. was a dark time man, and thats when i gotta turn all the c**p upside down... its just life some recognize some dont
Those comments are so cruel. How could anyone ever look at any of those pictures and say such awful things? In what world is that OK?
It's sad how bitter, shallow and racist some people are. Deep inside they are just jealous they don't have what these people have. They don't deserve it anyway

They're disgusting?! What?! But they look so beautiful together!! How can anyone say that??
The more interracial couples, the more beautiful kids on this planet!
people are so stupid!!! these are nice couples and beautiful families.
White people and black people are scared of what will happen in years to come...........everyone will be mixed....
I think the people in the pictures are beautiful! And the people making those thoughtless comments must be very damaged and in dire need of love themselves.
Beautiful portraits, horrible words what have we all fought for, for so long equality, peace, understanding . I hope one day the world evolves past all the hatred
These were all such beautiful couples. I have nothing but beautiful words for them and the beautiful children they have <3
The portraits are beautiful, the comments disgusting and the children divine.
My dad is black and my mom is white, DEAL WITH IT PEOPLE. Love is love and no one can change that.
So sad.... why is it so hard for people to love and accept one another? They are all beautiful couples and I am happy they are happy <3
All of these couples /families are beautiful. These commented are idiots. God bless all of these people in these pictures
Thank you for sharing this, in this country, in this day in age it's abhorrent that racism still exists, but what I'm truly appreciative of, about this particular post is that you have shown it comes from all sides. You have shown here that the color of your skin does not determine whether you are racist or not, hate in people's hearts has no color and neither does love. I hope in my lifetime that we as a people learn to be more accepting of each other and embrace each others differences.
The Photography and Solidarity of the Couples with Strong Looking Children what I mean
I just wonder who will be prejudice against who in another century.. Surely by then the earth will be such a mixture of cultures and races.?
These people are disgusting. The ones who find time out of their stupid, dull lives to comment on someone else's lives and call their lives to be disgusting.
Wow! And this happens in USA? The place that is trying to teach the rest of the world HOW TO F*****G live their lives?! SHAME!

Love it about common interests and compatible personalities, outward appearance has little to do with that fact. Too bad petty, ignorant, envious people don't get that, or maybe they would be in a good relationship instead of commenting on other people's lives.
All humans will be a lovely shade of cafe au lair some day. With the human race's ability to travel, interracial families will become the norm. And it's a beautiful thing!
LOL I don't even get what that means for this couple......pretty sure HE doesn't use a comb.
Load More Replies...I recognize the "you took one of our man" I always responds with "you had so many years to take your chance, none of you girls wanted him before"
Half of the "racist comments" have nothing to do with race. Also, I have been repeatedly told that minorities can't, in fact, be racist. Stop...baiting... This post is one giant virtue signal.
Wtf is wrong with the chick that wrote this?? Why? Just why?? The f**k is the point?? To divide people? Dumb b***h. I mean that whole heartedly. Debate me. We all read trolls and racist s**t... there's a lot more good things written than bad. So why not focus on them? Cause this b***h is racist and hates interracial couples. She doesent like seeing them and so tries to spread hate. F*****g b***h
Thee right he has taken a good black man, also took a good white man, 3 Asains of questionible standing, and a goat. Cats areevil, do not trust cats.
This was rasict. Does interracial mean white? 15 couples only one featured two non-white people? So the probably people have is with people who date white people? This is some white privileged bull. Everyone picks on white people. Like a black and Latino couple don't have problems or a asain and latino couple. White people get over yourselves. It isn't always about you. You can't claim people are rascist against you, when you are the rasict!
Maybe you missed the introduction in which real couples from the southern States were photographed. Racism appears in many forms, and I don't think the photographer was necessarily trying to depict all kinds of racism. But the majority of interracial couples IN THE SOUTHERN STATES are black/white.
Load More Replies...Well in my opinion having colored kids might risk their future generation's health, but anyways they do have the rights
There is absolutely not evidence that "colored kids" (what is this 1950?) are less healthy than white kids when controlled for factors like socioeconomic status.
