Now answer my question - why are you so obsessed with race that you felt the need to start a divisive thread that only serves to pit people against each other?

Why don't you strive for unity rather than promote division?

Wait - I know - you are a Democrat.

That is just how the dem's roll.
and im not obsessed with race, so dont be coming after me when ive said nothing to obsess about a race other then create a thread where race is being discussed.

Nonsense. Few Americans are offended by mixed race marriage, certainly a lower percentage than is typical elsewhere. A couple dozen anonymous messages on the internet is hardly a "stir."

Good for them for not backing down! Buying several boxes of Cheerios this week when I do my shopping.

I think Total is hardcore healthy as far as cereals go. Milk is loaded with sugar though.

Good point. We have seen how this underground racism has played out against President Obama who happens to be a child of a mixed race family.

Man, people are stupid.

I like how everyone has to "take a stand" so to speak. Either you hate it (along with all brown people), or you think it's one of the most beautiful works of art of the 21st century.

Who gives a ****.

Good catch.

It's good that you've noticed something w/o Limbaugh pointing it out for you.
