Wow, if seeing two people who love each other and have made a commitment to each other makes you feel pity, then it's I who pity you. You're right--pretty sad.

You are free to feel and think whatever you want to, but you are not free from scrutiny or from others challenging you and regarding you and your views with disrespect. Especially views based on false premises and formulated with faulty reasoning, and especially negative views about people or groups have done nothing to you but be themselves, regardless of how well you treat them. Exactly why do you feel way you do? Can your views be supported with evidence? Do they ultimately bring you and the people around you greater happiness or prosperity? Is it reasonable and advantageous to continue to hold these views? Are you holding them "just because" or out of some sense of resisting something?

When you express those kinds of views, people are not likely to perceive you as having asked yourself any of those things with any seriousness and honestly it's very off-putting and prone to generating negative reactions.

It is natural/genetic to want to be around people that look/act like you, hence why I don't agree with miscegenation. I just don't think it is natural. It is not what God intended in my opinion.

The funny thing is that Arab Muslims in particular frown upon (some go to extreme lengths to make sure it doesn't happen) their own marrying externally and no one says anything about that.
People have been "mixing" since the beginning of humanity.

Oh and by the way, Moses had a BLACK wife, Zipporah. So I think God is OK with it.

He's 5'7 and thin as a stick, but yet he will go down as one of the greatest ever. Pele wasn't big. Neither was Maradona. Yet they are considered to be the best two players ever not because of their size and speed, but because of the technical ability and genius they had with their feet.
I rarely hear people say soccer pitch, it's usually soccer field. It seems to be associated more with cricket. Just curious, are you from England or India by chance (perhaps SE Asia)? And, you know who Leo Messi is too? No big deal, just a bit interesting.

Actually, rights are in the amendments to the Constitution and what you're against isn't one of them. You cannot agree with homosexuality or miscegenation. It's just not a right.

I highly advised that you never visit Brazil. The level of racial-mixing going on down there will probably make your head explode.

If you read the song of Solomon, it is clear that the beautiful Shulamite maiden was black.

Mixed race marriage is not forbidden by the Bible. Neither is polygamy for that matter. Homosexual acts absolutely are forbidden.
