I would add that in general the minority partner gains in an interracial relationship. They become more exposed to the larger society. That has been my experience. My wife has her masters degree but I have not finished colledge. I am a stay at home dad who works on weekends for ten dollars an hour. Here in California thats not much. However I am an African American male and marrige to my White wife has brought me many benifits. Her family is upper middle class while mine is lower middle middle class. Partly because of her Whitness she has a good job and her family has given us vacations and some finacial support. I went to ghetto schools and my family was on welfare but my wifes school was great that is just some of the inheritance of being white. White people gennerally live in white neiborhoods and inheret good property values and good predominantly White schools. Inheritence is often underrrated but my children stand to inherit some wealth from the family farm when their grandparents die. There is almost no chance that my African American mom will leave any inheritance. The Godparents which my White wife gave to our children also have helped enrich my childrens experiences. They are also white and rich.

Most White people do not realize how much money is in their circle of friends and family compared with that of black people. White neighborhoods are opulent when compared with Black neighborhoods. My wife and I have been married for 16 years and we are very happy. Interracial marriage helps to mellow out the ghettos and reduce the seaparations inbetween African Americans and the rest of Americans. It causes White families to know black people and other minorites on a deeper level. My the family of my wife has alot of Mormons in it. Intergration of families is powerfull. Think of the cousins aunts and uncles nephews and neices who are affected when races mix. It is interracial power to diminish racism. Black women would be very smart to mix with whites because there so many Black men are self destructive and many of the good ones are already taken. I am an African American so I can say that without sounding racist. The future of america is mixed and Brown not White and Black anyways so I encurage all peple to mix it up.

My name is Interracial Power
