OK Joe McCarthy.

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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.... ;-)
Whatever! I'm fully aware that I'm an egomaniac, and you know what they say... knowing is half the battle. :2razz:
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.
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.
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..
Which is exactly what you are trying to do. Be consistent.
