FR/Discussion: Race and marriage

OsmiumZulu · 2020-01-13T14:56:06+00:00

Gents, many moderated online Christian communities won’t tolerate posts on controversial topics like this. That said, we aren’t your typical Christian community. If you want a “safe space” there are plenty of other subs here that will offer that to you, complete with complimentary tampons.

Keep it clean and on topic; this subject impacts many people and is worth discussing.

I don't believe there's a biblical basis for being against interracial marriage. It's ultimately up to your own choice. Me, I'm not attracted to black women in the slightest, but I do like Latinas and some asians. I don't see an issue with being with different races as long as I am abiding by God's rules.

First off, thank you for posting this. This was the kind of discussion I was looking for until getting banned from the degenerate r/Hapas. “In multicultural societies, you don’t vote in accordance with your economic and social interests, you vote in accordance to race and religion.” I love my incredible parents. My dad is a god fearing gentlemen who served American for over 30 years in the military and my mother was an extremely driven and strict but loving mother from Korea. Neither side of the family supported them and I grew up without knowing the natural racial bond I would see among my peers. Despite my mother attempting to instill her intense Korean patriotism in me, every Korean boy I tried to get along with bullied me and Tae Kwon do, although productive, was basically another way for Koreans to bully me. Other races were similar and joining the military myself did not solve my desire for kinship with others. As high IQ (which is arguably a made up measurement for Jewish supremacy) as the Korean people in America claim to be, they just can’t bring themselves to vote like smart people. During the LA riots, the Rooftop Koreans protected their communities. But that was a small portion of that population. It didn’t stop the Asian community from being pillaged and murdered by the other minorities. And yet, they STILL vote blue, (not that it’s different from the red side tbh) People keep forgetting we’ve had thousands of years of history conquering and being conquered. When our veneer of technology and “diversity is our strength”BS wears off, and a true Hobbesian scenario comes, people are surprised when all that happens is a violent struggle for tribal supremacy, which is only stopped when a hegemony emerges with the other tribes, being erased. What people ignore is the fact that, even in diverse peacetime, it is still a violent struggle. And it emerges in the form of the Jewish media monopoly, the rise of the Black Serial Killer, the children of the cartel being born in the US as citizens in their reconquista, (one of which I know personally, who serves with my wife in the military). Look at homogenous countries (that aren’t being colonized by China in Africa). They might have a lot of problems, but it feels downright boringly peaceful when I walk through Seoul compared to resorting to secretly being strapped in LA. And it’s really easy to see interracial murder and rape and think, “huh, you know, I wouldn’t be watching this Daily Mail cop cam video showing the post-rape blood of an eight year old white girl on the bed of black man who raped her after he kidnapped her from her own neighborhood, if we had racial homogeneity.” And the common response would be “well...well...that would happen regardless, you can’t lump everyone together based on blah blah blah” which is stupid. Because it would be much easier and more natural to defend a community and it’s children if that community had racial and religious roots. Both of which, have been torn up from the post WW2 Frankfurt schooling, creating a rift in all races, causing everyone (except the barbara lerner spectres) to lose their roots and communities, accelerating the Hobbesian crisis.

It was easy for me to give into anger, which, I have no doubt Satan finds is an effective tool to humiliate otherwise good people. Fortunately, god gave me a good gut punch and I converted back into Christianity. As a “hapas” I need to accept the fact that I can’t fully be an anglo guy or a Korean guy. So I HAVE to create my own roots, instill my countries patriotism to my kids, instill faith, and pass on usable skills. Not only that, it is on us RPCs to be a moral and physical force in our communities and STOP consuming hateful media. Sorry for the rant, had a lot bottled up. I am just reminded of a verse Dave Ramsey mentioned from the book of Timothy: “a man that doesn’t first tend to his own household is worse than a nonbeliever.”

I am white and my wife is black. Yeah, there are a lot of "cultural differences" but IMO it only becomes a problem if you let it become a problem. The hurdle I have made progress in getting over is it is OK if we think differently on issues, as long as we do not "attack" each other for feeling different. My wife is very liberal in her views and when I said something that does not agree with her worldview, "What I said could be perceived as racist or wrong."

For example, the topic of immigration. Her whole family on both sides immigrated here one generation ago for a better life in America.

We got into a debate about "the concentration camps" of illegal immigrants on the Texas border from people coming over illegally and she thought I was being insensitive about the issue.

Basically, what it came down to is I have my views and she has hers and I just left it at that. We were not going to change each other's opinions. IMO what is important is if you still have the same respect level for each other after the fact, and as the man, it is our job to monitor that in the relationship.

I believe that implying same race marriage as wiser is arrogant because it down plays the many upsized of being of a mixed background. Even as a Christian my worth isn’t built off of my ethnic background, my worth is built off of my being made in the image of God. It is unbelievably dangerous to assume that making life easier would yield as wiser when often times it is the struggles that equate to wisdom. This idea does a disservice to anybody with a mixed background because it adds more weight self worth in terms of race than it does with someone’s relationship with Jesus Christ. Now I know most people in here are conservative including myself but why would we now say that it is better to participate in same race relationships despite more people gravitating towards inter-racial relationships. Wouldn’t more people participating in multi-racial relationships increase the discussion and allow for better support for people who may be struggling ?

There were race restrictions on marriage in the Old Testament, but I reckon that was more to prevent the Jews from marrying unbelievers than to maintain racial purity. Either way, those race restrictions no longer apply under the New Covenant, and wouldn't apply to Gentiles anyway.

As others have said, there are no applicable restrictions on interracial marriage in the Bible. However, if the preservation of your race, culture, and values is part of you mission, it makes sense to incorporate that into your criteria for a wife.

You're not wrong to think this way. European birthrates have fallen far below maintenance levels, while their homelands are being flooded, legally and illegally, by immigrants with much higher birthrates. They'll be completely replaced, both racially and culturally in the future. I think it's a shame for that to happen to any race.

All marriages are interracial. You're really talking about cultural differences. I'd argue that most cultures are more "RP friendly" than Western culture. But you stick with white gender-fluid feminazies. For the kids.

Interracial marriages come with what it is, but there’s no supporting scripture that deters us from interracial marriages. If you’re just not attracted to a race than that’s fine.

As for children, they’re going to have some issue in their childhood that makes them different. Your kids are already going to be set apart if they’re followers of Christ.

Marry the race you’re attracted to but pinning it on some identity, easier childhood, or culture thing sounds like a cover up for just wanting to only marrying within a certain race.

yes I agree, I was born to parents belonging to different cultures and it only causes problems for the child.

Deep_Strength · 2020-01-15T23:34:29+00:00

There's pros and cons to each.

It is true that there can be cultural and ethnic differences that can making things more difficult (and there are legitimate divorce concerns of interracial marriage as there is increased amount of divorces in certain populations), but those are minor in comparison to red flags like character and lukewarm faith concerns.

I've seen some cases where being a mixed family makes it much easier to evangelize and reach out to others, especially the liberal crowd whose idol is diversity. In any situation, God can use it for His glory.

It is wise to consider and pray about it. I'd estimate it's probably a minor to moderate yellow flag at most.
