He better not come to Long Island either, especially with the Italian Jewish thing. The area I grew up in had TONS of Italian-Jewish marriages. Hell we had several on the block I grew up on.

No, you just can't comprehend my point.

I said that peoples' inequality is not characterized by race; it is simply a normal distribution that occurs across all races.

Within each race, there are average, smart, and dumb people.
Within each race, there are nice people and mean people.
Within each race, there are successful and unsuccessful people.

The point is that you need to look beneath race at the individual when making judgments and not assume that all members of race X are inferior to members of race Y.

The state governments in many states have said "no" to interracial marriages. Black people didn't get to vote on that, because in many states, Blacks didn't have the right to vote. If a state is breaching human rights or civil rights, then the federal government should step in. That is how I feel about it and I make no apologies for it. You say the government should be in the business of who marries whom? The state governments have been in that business and the feds pretty much said "the government doesn't need to decide, leave it up to the couple who wants to marry".

If the people in that state banned this disgusting act then yep they need to move to commiefornia or taxachusets to practice there disgusting lifestyle.

What is so disgusting about interracial marriage? I don't see any disgust in it. If I happen to fall in love with a woman of a difference race or ethnicity than me, then why shouldn't I be able to marry that woman?

What am I?
Cherokee and English.

It isn't exactly Quantum Physics.

I'm all for assigning the appropriate amount of responsibility to parents for an effed up kid - but if your parents played a large role in your confusion don't blame it all on the fact that they are different races. That's lame and letting them off the hook - face it, they effed you up on a personal level.
