Pshhhhhhh... Nothing like saying interracial couples are wrong.. Jeesh i wonder whats the logic behind that. :shock:

Well let's see. McCarthy liked to tally up the "bad guys," and now you're doing the same thing. Freedom of speech buddy. I'm gonna say what I think and not apologize for it. If I'm a bigot then I'm a bigot.... oh well.

Im "tallying up"? Really? Lets see here. Why does no one answer the question? Why?
 
I've only ever pondered interracial couples from an ethnographic point of view. I've studied a lot about the different ethnicities of the world and how they came to be from a geneological perspective, over vast lengths of time. The modern era is really amazing because ethnicities are converging and diverging in ways that are historically unprecedented.

On an individual level, if two people are into one another then who cares about acceptability?

Beyond racism, I think there is also the traditional notion of in-tact lineages that has stuck around since the nobility days. Most of the world's wealthy families still forbid their children to marry outside of their race and noble class. I used to know a guy in New York whose parents were cousins, and their parents were cousins. They were from Jordan and their families still believed in pure bloodlines. He ended up getting disowned because he refused to continue the incestuous tradition.

So while we are talking about interracial marriage, what about marriage across class? Is it acceptable for a rich person of "noble" background to marry a poor person?
 
Interracial couples and children are completely acceptable to me, we are all really of only one race, the human race. I do however, lament that one day we will all be an amalgamation of all races and so the distinct differences between the races, that which helps make life interesting, may completely evaporate.

How bland would that be?

This may have been the idea behind the "cultural melting pot" of USA. How did it work till now?

The chocolate has not melted into the cream yet....but it seems we have turned up the burner a bit.
 
I wonder who the two raci...er...people were who voted 'it's wrong' are?

On the plus side, over 91% voted the right way...which is encouraging.
 
Here is the income data on new interracial marriages. He spoke in negative terms about the white women who married black men. We can make some educated guesses by looking at the low percent who complete college and the income of that married couple.

Here we go with this statistics stuff again. You can't make any negative educated guess about white women who marry black men based on that data. What the data shows is that 12.5 percent of the married couples where the husband is black and the wife is white ARE BOTH COLLEGE EDUCATED. There is nothing that shows what percentage of the MARRIED COUPLES where the husband is black and the wife is white that has a WIFE THAT IS COLLEGE EDUCATED. There could be a high percentage of married black white interracial couples in the which the wife is white that have a wife who is college educated but a husband who is not college educated. We have absolutely no way of knowing what that percentage is from that data.

Over and above that, it only shows information for MARRIED COUPLES. Many interracial couples don't get married.

You people don't examine data carefully.

We can also look at the gender data on blacks and whites who marry out of their racial group. Black men far more than black women marry out.

While that may be true, that data doesn't show that. Why? Because there is no information on blacks who marry hispanics, neither any information on blacks who marry asians.

The next thing is why have you only presented data on white people marrying other races in the first place?

Again. you people don't examine data carefully.

If you are going to use statistics, look at them carefully.

Why does the chocolate have to melt into the cream? Why can't the chocolate be mixed with the cream? :lamo

White folks be always trying to put the heat on a brother and break him down!!! :lamo

Until the chocolate is of the same consistency as the cream....they cannot be mixed.

A liquid simply spills messily onto a solid.

There is a such thing as white chocolate you know that can be solid. Why not melt them both and then mix?

But no, the chocolate has to melt, always keeping black folks down! :lamo

BTW, I'm just kidding.
 
I'm fine with inter-racial couples. I just don't understand how they had to change the definition of traditional marriage in order to force their unions in our face. Call their relationships whatever you like, just don't call it marriage.... ;-)

They did not change anything....you can still say "Traditional Marriage" and nothing has been "Forced in your Face".

Believe it or not...you can still marry a white girl if you so desire.
 
Whatever! I'm fully aware that I'm an egomaniac, and you know what they say... knowing is half the battle. :2razz:

That will catch up with you my distasteful little friend. But in the mean time, WTF gave a blast!

Sure it did. Before the change in the law, couples of different races were not allowed to marry. They had to change traditional marriage laws in order to allow it. There were a lot of people who didn't want inter-racial marriage forced in their face.

Believe it or not they can still marry within their race if they choose.

You just don't get it do 'ya....the word "Traditional" is of your own making....the Tradition of marriage is exactly the same today as it was 200 yrs. ago. There have been laws to add to it and make it a financial benefit, but the tradition has not changed.

Your issue seems to be with inclusion in this tradition, not the tradition itself.

My advice....find a nice Christian white woman, pretend you're not a jerk, and marry her "Traditionally" before she finds out otherwise.

Sorry....but people who like to throw around the word "traditional marriage", like to try to bend the definition as they see fit. "Traditional" is either changeable or not changeable....it can't be changeable some ways because you like it to be and not for others.
Try as you might, you cannot change the fact that prior to laws striking down bans on inter-racial marriage, "traditional marriage" in the United States did not allow it. Sorry...that's just the facts.

My advice to you: Be consistent. You can't fluctuate and bend the facts to meet your definitions. Deal with it.

I am well aware of what both "Traditional", and "Marriage" mean. My point in this is simply that by adding the term traditional to the word marriage you are changing the definition to whatever you wish it to be. This does not change the marriage tradition.

Which is exactly what you are trying to do. Be consistent.
 
I just thought I would ask. It seems some people here are not comfortable with interracial couples, and I was curious how common the attitude is..

HOUSTON: It's the year 2014, and, we have a problem.

Upon Powell's death, Wilfred Wood, then Bishop of Croydon, stated, "Enoch Powell gave a certificate of respectability to white racist views which otherwise decent people were ashamed to acknowledge".[61]
