According to research, Black families tend to be more accepting of interracial relationships (12, McNamara). However in Black families that do express discord the hostility seems to last longer than in white families. In contrast most white families who initially oppose the relationship tend to grow to accept the couple by publicly acknowledging the relationship. Many of the reasons for the initially opposition to the relationship that is shown by white families was reported to be due to fear of losing societal standing with the community, fear for the welfare of their relative, and the fear of potential problems any children resulting from the marriage may encounter. Oftentimes fear for the welfare of the relative (son or daughter) presents itself as hostility toward the spouse. McNamara, et. al suggest the only way to reduce or rid themselves of the hostility is through increased contact with the interracial couple.

[P]roponents of interracial relationships contend that interracial romance is a step toward eliminating racial hatred. According to Mitali Perkins, “Where exploitation and anger have separated the races in society, an interracial family called by God is a compelling example of the gospel of reconciliation.” Yvette Walker believes that “racism . . . will have to be bred out. We can’t make policies to change it. And certainly in an interracial relationship the children are raised in a climate of tolerance.” She and others contend that the rising incidence of interracial children will eventually lead to a society where race will no longer matter because everyone will blend into one race, the human race. More importantly, assert many supporters of interracial relationships, color should not matter when it comes to love. They echo Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous sentiment that people should be judged not “by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

Open communication is important in any marriage, and in an interracial relationship, it’s absolutely crucial. It’s important that you two discuss your differing ideas and feelings about who you are. Authentic, respectful conversations will deepen your mutual understanding and strengthen the bond between you.
