I have no problem with whites and black marrying, however it seems like virtue signaling rather than a real marriage to me. It may be real, however it feels like a virtue signal.
Also, the couples usually involve one party that is very homely and the other is usually average looking. Therefore, I see it as kinda a "settled for this" marriage. Maybe I'm wrong, but this is my observations and impressions.
I always feel bad for the kids. One marriage I know has 2 girls who are very pretty, however the vanity they have is insane. Could be because they are so liberal they have severe TDS, so they are social media victim too and pose like they are always ready for s3x, but I wonder how much the social media vanity is the result of the virtue signaling of the parents.
While the testimonies I specifically had in mind on that comment were from “interracial” marriages, as that was the topic, note that I have also observed similar problems in “same race” marriages from different cultural areas, and these statements could just as easily be applied to a “white” multigenerational Alabama man marrying a “white” multigenerational Oregonian woman as perhaps not being wise, and I have seen multiple instances of similar issues with such marriages as well.
My only point was that if society has conflicts when multiple cultures are put into close, competing proximity, one can imagine that a marriage would have the same issue, but moreso as the proximity is greater.
People groups do differ on culture and inherited traits. Even families of third cousin linkage will often be noticeably different from families of first cousin linkage. The question is whether it’s harder or easier to assimilate more widely separated cultural and behavioral traits and a wider range of generational curses and combining those into one flesh, or whether it’s better to keep the differences in a narrower range.
It does reasonably seem that wider cultural and behavioral differences could add a degree of difficulty to marriage, and the testimony and observations I have from such couples do assert that. My experience and reasoning may not reflect the wider truth, and there will surely be exceptions, even if the reasoning is correct.
It’s also true that with God, all things are possible.
Romans 14:5 - One man esteems one day as more important. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.
I’m just taking my best guesses here, and stating testimonies and observations I’ve received.
Do note that by the same note that there may not be an inherent handicap to such a union though, there also would not be any inherent benefit, and as such is no reason to advocate the practice, and makes it doubly strange that The Powers that Should Not Be are doing it so intently. It may just be to stir up resentment, or it may be for other reasons. Note that nobody is going around advocating that Canadians should marry Floridians, or English marry French, or Germans marry Jews, or Arab Muslims marry Chinese, or Swedish marry Brazilians. Only this one. It’s weird.

From what I’ve seen, it seems normal for both people who enter into such a marriage to have problems with it, even with both operating as Christians.
There are cultural and behavioral conflicts that are added to such a marriage, which is already difficult enough in the present day.
Edit: No animosity toward either, just stating my experience and received testimony. Blame it on the people in those marriages who’ve told me that.
Disagree.
It still comes down to the conflict that a MAN vs WOMAN in a relationship.
It has nothing to do with race. Men and Women think differently.
So when they live with each other: There will be their shares of problems.

And I have dated white women before. It wasn’t that complicated.
As long as you both speak the same language. A relationship is a relationship
It’s not a big deal.
Going be observing patterns won’t work as good.
Because confirmation biases it what these observations will lead to.
Culture IS an issue. It can be overcome/mitigated/integrated, but it is one more thing to deal with. Ask me how I know.
