Hmmmmmmmmm; great topic Frank...
O.k.; where to start...
First let me say that I try very hard to form my opinions of others based upon their words, actions, and personal conduct rather than their skin colour. It matters not what color the wrapper is; when physically 'cut', we ALL BLEED RED: I would extrapolate that we are all made of the same stuff, physically; therefore it could only be a mental position that results in 'rascism'. Like dogs, we live what we are taught in our formative years. If one is taught that another human-being is inferior due to the pigmentation of their flesh (whether by parents, peers, or both), then its difficult to change that opinion when older.
I thank God that my parents hesitated not to haul my butt out of Texas within 2 weeks of hearing me chant "you're a BLEEP" repeatedly at the friend that had the dubious honor of being "it" during a game of 'tag'... I was in kindergarden(spelling?) at the time. Here it is, almost 40 years later and I still chastize myself whenever the term pops into my head.
I have no problem with 'blended' relationships, have been in them. Like women of ANY color!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTT!!!
But one must keep in mind that if you decide to have a child within a 'blended' relation, that children can be brutal; especially when the parents are racially polarized. Not just physically brutal, but mentally/emotionally, as well. It takes a parenting 'team' to help re-enforce the basics of humanity and to bolster the child against the repercussions that are inevitable (unfortunately) by being the child(ren) o

I don't think there is anything wrong with mixed-race marriages. If the person that makes you happy is black and you're white, go for it. Half of all marriages, regardless of color end in divorce.

No biggie, as long as she's.............................yeah.................
........a female!

samo,

Since we're all humans, do you see anything wrong with dating a person of the same sex as you?

My upcoming controversial novel "The Interracial Couples" took many years of research in the field to author even if it is a great fictional story.

What I have found is that if you truly love somebody regardless of their race, creed or color, that is all that matters! Now will I get a lot of flack for using the dread "N" word in my novel? Probably, but I am an artist and what matters most to me is my art and the plot of my story.

What is interesting about "The Interracial Couples" is that it deals exactly with the issue and the sub plots of its characters.

Are there challenges for mainly white women going with black men? Yes there are extra challenges. Should those challenges honestly matter? No! Because if two people are in love that is their life and their decisions and skin color nor religion should not play a part in it.

From Galatians chapter 4, KJV:

4:28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

4:29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him after the Spirit, even so now.

4:30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.

4:31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

But, SM88 and others, I thought that your reason for not supporting Gay Marriage was that the wizard in the sky said it was verbotten? Why then ignore that Wizard when he forbids children of slaves from being heirs of the children of the free?

Andrew Jackson was the greatest president this country ever had!!

Hey you guys,

What does the bondwoman represent, in context?

The freewoman?

The heirs?

The Children of Promise?

bondwoman = slave

Slave of whom, what, where?
