Persuasive Speech On Interracial Love

Improved Essays
“Love doesn’t see the color of your skin, but through the pigments of your heart.” It is a scientific fact that love has no color. So why don’t people see it that way? For years, interracial love has been frowned upon. People see a couple of different racial backgrounds and immediately hate overrides. Love is classified as a deep feeling in your heart that you have for someone. Regardless of your race, you should be allowed to love someone perpetually. One of the factors that people mistake when they see an interracial relationship is that it’s a fetish. These ideas are stereotypes which sexualize people by turning them into ideas. This objectifies them rather than just having an honest love. Another factor that plays into this is that …show more content…
Aside from loving someone you respect, you 're making the world a better place. From all the racist laws and civil rights movements, you 're defying and justifying it all. You 're standing up to those who think someone who looks different from you is wrong. You 're putting your needs aside, and focusing on someone else 's. You love someone else. You 're giving a piece of your life, your heart, your soul to someone else. As Chloe Hall said, "Having a constant ally in the fight against prejudice and racial inequality is not only the pillar of support you find in every great relationship, but also proof that there 's no inherent bias, just injustice."

Being in an interracial relationship is no different than being in a same race relationship. You can argue about whose turn it is to wash the dishes just like any other couple. We make our own destinies. Don’t let someone 's bias dictate yours. Allow yourself the luxury of giving yourself up to someone wholly. You know love has a hold one you when you put all your needs aside for theirs. After all, if chocolate and vanilla ice cream can swirl together and live peacefully, why can 't races and cultures?
It’s a proud day when you can say, we 're here and we 're not going

    Yeah, I'll never understand why these black actors keep taking these roles too. And then they justify it by insinuating they are being pro-black in the process. No just no.

    On October 7, 1998, Matthew Shepard, a gay 21-year-old college student, was abducted by two men who took him to a remote area, tied him to a fence, severely beat him with the butt of a pistol, and left him to die in the cold of the night. Matthew Shepard’s death became one of the most notorious anti-gay hate crimes in America, and 18 years later, it wasn’t the last. June 12, 2016 brought upon a new era of anti-gay hate crimes when 49 people were killed and 53 were injured in the Orlando night club shooting. Following the shooting, a candlelight vigil was held in Salt Lake City to mourn the tragic loss of lives. At the vigil, Republican Utah Lt. Governor Spencer Cox delivered a speech addressing his personal thoughts on the act of hate that…

    Many people believe that race is biological when in fact it is a social construct. There are no genes common to all blacks or all whites, a person who would be considered black in the United States might be considered white in Brazil or colored in South Africa. How a person perceives their race identity can change with experience and over time. This does not only apply to people who are multiracial, these changes in racial identity can be determined by our society, which insists on the rigidity, which has not yet been defined. In the book According To Our Hearts by Angela Onwuachi-Willig speaks on interracial marriages and the changes in racial identity.…

    Growing up Mexican-American is the main reason I strongly believe in racial equality. Being of mixed race, one of which is considered the "superior race" dating way back, and one of which is a minority group, has given me the privelege to see what it is like being treated at both ends of the spectrum. Being in elementary school, I was the only mixed kid, the only hispanic kid as well, I was surrounded mainly by white kids and only a small number of African-Americans, and never really thought anything of it. Many of my classmates were so confused as two how you could be of two different races and constantly asked me what I was since, and typically confusing me for being African-American just because I had a little bit more of a tan than them.…

    The Role of Race In Romantic Attraction to Race in Intercultural Dating Attraction is a popular field of study in psychology. In a mixed society that we exemplify today in America, it is common to see people of multiple races and ethnicities but what influences race and ethnicity have on everyday life such as it pertains to attraction is something that we are still discovering. Looking back in history, interracial communication and living is a new progression. Although the general population may not always consider how races and ethnicities play a role in our procreation and attraction to sexual partners, empirical evidence supports that race effects attraction (McClintock,& Murry, (2010). Observing how race effects attraction, and what effects…

    In the short stories, “The Long Way Home” and “How to date a Browngirl, Blackgirl, Whitegirl, or a Halfie”, races and homosexuality tremendously affect society in different ways. Both of these stories are very different but have similar relations to dating, one of races, and the second of gender and physical attributes of a homosexual. We live in a world where we get judged by every move we make, stereotypes seem acceptable, and where we will always be compared to the next person. In this century, profiling people by their race has become a social/economic norm, and being homosexual has become more widely accepting of others. Judging people based on their preferences isn 't right, we should let people live their lives the way they want even…
