I don't have time to discuss this now, but the article says a lot.

Not sure what the issue is, if people of different race want to marry, that's their own personal decision.

Bah..there's no issue.

Interracial marriage is absolutely OK.

She is pretty for a black woman.

hihihi! I've seen better looking specimens

I have nothing against interracial marriage, provided that the offspring identify primarily (or exclusively) with the better half.

   Keep in mind that he was 17 and courting her when she was 11. This was not a normal marriage.

Maybe they were Muslims?

Agreed

I don't believe in miscegenation. I think people should love and honor their own culture by sticking with their own. I don't think anyone's going to hell for it, and I wouldn't go so far as to legally ban it,  but that doesn't mean I have to like it or think it's right. I have very strong negative feelings about this topic.

   I guess I can't say interracial marriage should be outright banned(like gay marriages should be) since there are exceptions, but most of these relationships are not legitimate. They usually end up with the woman being abused. Even more so when she is the white one. Of course Eminem is a case where the black woman is the one that gets abused. Watch this video:
   Unless there is a strong religious link, the kids also lose their identity.

I have no problem with it because my cousin married a Filipino woman and she is a very nice personAnd i have another cousin who married a Puerto Rican woman and she is very nice as well as long as they are good people and they love each other who are we to judge.

[Rubystars]

I not happy they were made legal to begin with, but I'm not seeking to outright ban them now.

I don't have any problems with it. If they're both righteous and come from a righteous culture and have very righteous conservative beliefs I don't see much of a problem with it at all. More important is the culture surrounding the peoples. I know some people want to preserve certain classic rare looks and physical characteristics for their own peoples to those different peoples that might be extinct in the future because of the melting pot and people mixing, so I guess some people are against it for that reason, which I understand. Others are just racist Nazis and want to ban interracial marriage and are against it for some weird "Pure" Nazi Eugenic beliefs and for their own purposes. Overall, I think it's more about the culture. I love all righteousness of all righteous backgrounds blending together

as long as its not a Jew marrying a non-Jew, I have no problem

Definitely, more importantly

You don't want Jews to marry non-Jews partly because it will mean the disappearance of the Jews as a people, or if God would not allow that, at least diminish their numbers signficantly. Intermarriage to non-Jews is as deadly to Jews as a people as any Holocaust.

I don't want whites marrying out because it harms the numbers of whites, among other reasons. It's not evil to want your people to survive. I want there to be people who look like me, share my heritage, and share my white culture.

If thats what you believe then fine. But you can't force that decision on anyone else, let alone two consenting adults.

I've heard of that DanBenNoah, but I have a hard time believing she was black. I think she might have had a darker skin tone but I don't believe she was black. Besides I think Jews are the exception because when someone becomes Jewish they become part of a separate nation, a separate people. As Chaim said, it's not exactly a race, but it is a distinct people.

I guess I should stay out of this threaD lol.

They criticized him because she was beautiful (Kushit in that context.), yet he was seperated from her so he would remain ritually pure at all times because he didn't know when G-d would talk to him.

Thanks for the insight Yacov.

In a way, i agree...people of similar cultures are less likely to find conflict in their marraiges...i mean, it's not just religion.

However, as long as they are the same religion, if a man and a woman love each other and will make way for a loving household, irregardless of race or culture, it really ought not make a difference. Likewise, some people are attracted to certain physical being...so i say, live and let live.

Now, within that whole mess, there are exceptions...so I'll simply say, a good thing is when you have a man and a woman from the same religion who love each other and are righteous on equal levels.  (In other words, a rightreous person should never get with a non compatible evil person)  Or a great guy shoudl not go with a girl with a questionable life history background.

Excellent and well put, Dr. Dan

I'm sure that Zipporah was Jewish in culture because she accepted the Torah at Sinai along with all the other Jews.  So therefore her color doesn't matter, which is why it was possible for Moses to marry her even though she was black.  Her culture would have been the same culture as that of Moses.  And I'm pretty sure that all the Jews back then would have had a "dark" skin tone when compared to white people, so hers would have been exceptionally dark for the Torah to call her a Cushite.  She may not have been African, but it probably would have been hard to tell the difference.

She wasn't black. Kushit means beautiful in that case and has no connection with Ethiopians.

And Jews ARE white. The dark Jewish skin you refer to is dark white.

Correct, Yacov   

That's true, the majority of Jews are white, but there are also some righteous Black Jews like Ethiopians which are part of righteous Jews as a people.
