    During the 18th and 19th century, racism was very actively ruining innocent people’s life. It stopped the America from moving forward, because it was stuck on the color of a man’s skin. With that being the case, many interracial families were not accepted by the law or the eyes of the man. Though interracial marriage became legal in 1967, many men and women who tried to pursue a relationship with another race were taunted, mistreated, and often killed. Within the 21st century, minds that were once afraid of a man’s skin now slowly started to welcome different race marriage within the family. This being the case, the offsprings of the interracial parents did not have to be afraid of being proud of their heritage, instead they started to be able to embrace it.…

    America’s first biracial child was born in 1620 before anti miscegenation laws were created to prevent African Americans from getting romantically involved with Whites. Negative attitudes towards interracial relationships were fueled by racial discrimination and the devotion to keep each race pure. In today's evolving society interracial relationships are still discouraged, especially between Whites and Blacks (Childs, 2005) due to parental approval and racism. Interracial unions are believed to be evidence of a cultural development resulting from America’s practices of racial boundaries in social interaction (King & Bratter, 2007). In today’s society it is influential to increase contact amongst different races and cultures…

In “Seek Success: Marry Someone like yourself,” an article by Sue Richardson in The Dallas Morning News published, March 14, 1993, describes her attitude towards interracial couples and how she feels “horrified” and “terrified”. In her article, Richardson’s purpose is both to persuade couples not to marry into interracial unions and to criticizing those who do. She is persuading her readers that they shouldn’t engage in interracial marriage because there are “too-many differences,” that it wouldn’t work out. She does this by using a critical tone.…

    As previously mentioned, poverty, unemployment, health disparities, incarceration and financial hardships are contributing factors to the decline in healthy relationships between black men and women. However, newly released census data reveals that the number of black children being raised by two parents is increasing at nearly 40% (Census Bureau, 2012). Non-traditional households are also being formed such as unmarried parents living together and raising children. History plays a large part in the psychology of black family relationships and the study of this history will help bring change in the future and aid in creating better relationships in the black…

    Deviance: the violation of norms, rules or expectations. (Henslin.2010).From a historical viewpoint, interracial relationships were considered highly deviant fifty years ago. In fact, when the civil rights era began in the 1950s there were still states that had antimiscegnation laws that forbid interracial marriage. For individuals of different socially constructed ethnic and racial groups, being in an interracial relationship or intermarriage was considered unpure largely by White males with the thought of keeping the White race pure. According to eNotes.com (2012), the number of mixed-race marriages rose from 300,000 in 1970 to 1.2 million in 1990.…
