well your personal experience in two places with a limited amount of people does not represent everybody.

No more than likely he'd only be for it as long as it wasn't his daughter. Get real. lol.

What are you trying to say, that everyone in America doesn't want their daughters marrying black guys?

Not at all, just that plenty of liberals only believe in diversity for everyone else.

More nonsense spouted without supporting facts.

Because the national urban media reinforces the idea that they are better.

This has been my experience as well. Country people have told me time and again (since I am from a city), that I don't know anything about anything, and that I don't know how to live or survive. They always told me that with an air of importance about themselves, like I had no sense, or didn't have any knowledge above sidewalks and city parks or something. They also put down apartments and living in the city in general, because people in the country can have bigger houses and more land. I'm not making this up, these are all things people have told me.
I don't doubt that some city people like to pretend they are above country people, I'm just saying that it is the other way around as well.

I happen to know quite a few left leaning individuals who routinely talk about "equality" and then turn around and make racial slurs. I also know of several people I went to school with whose parents preached tolerance and racial equality until their precious daughter wanted to date a black man.

I grew up in the country and live in the city now. Both "sides" make up gross stereotypes about the other. Plain and simple.

Well who could argue with those compelling facts?

BTW, did I mention I met some people who think the moon landing was a hoax?
