CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I really like what Ken Ham says, that there are two types of 'race' in the world. The unsaved and the saved. When it comes to interracial relationships of that sort then they're are to be avoided at all costs. However, when both people are saved, then really, the color of skin doesn't matter in God's eyes, and it shouldn't in ours! We are all decended from the same two people after all. (I know I'm not saying that well, but hey, it's late, I'm sleepy, and I think you're all smart enough to know what I'm trying to get across 
)
I would warn about marrying someone who has grown up in a different culture though, because if that is the case then there WILL be conflict.

ok, we have established that there is nothing biblically wrong with it. i think everyong agrees with that. my parents realize they have no Godly ground to stand on, but they still feel the same way. i have talked to my parents about it a ton. he wants to talk to them about it too, but they won't talk to him. we have decided to put our feelings on the back burner, but that doesn't mean they are gone. and i told my parents that, but even us staying friends makes them uncomfortable b/c they think that the feelings will develope further. and maybe they will, and maybe they won't, but i can't just stop being friends with him. what more can i do?

As For Me And My House We Will Serve The Lord
I feel for you hon, I really do.
Just remember to show your parents respect whenever you do speak with each other about the guy. Send up prayers to the Lord on their behalf. He'll show them eventually what no human can ever make them comprehend.
I personally would not stop being a friend to him and if it's the Lord will for you to be together, I'm sure feelings WILL develop, and together you two will be able to take on the world in a loving Christ like manner at that. It's asking alot of a person to give up a friend because of that kind of fear.
Would your parents be happier if you dated an unbeliever who was white? If they can answer yes to that question, then leave it to the Lord and He'll deal with them in His time, but at the same time continue to be friends with him and see where the Lord leads you two.
That will most likely mean keeping things separate. In other words, don't press the issue. Unless they mention the guy, don't mention him to them either. That will be showing them the respect they deserve by at least not going on about him in their presence when they disapprove, and at the same time you'll be in control of your personal relationship with him by continuing to have one without any negativity they may throw your way if you bring him up. It will keep things less complicated, keep tensions down, and you'll be able to move in whatever direction you need without anyones influence but the Lord's.
God bless you.

Man - there is nothing wrong with interracial relationships. Moses took an etheopian to be his wife and he had to deal with the ignorance of others because of it too.
If your parents are Christians then let them get to know the young man.
