That vid is your typical liberal white guilt, the guy that they show is a redneck a hole, it would have been nice if they showed a non white person with bigoted ugly views too.......

I think is a pretty good point.

It really does exist everywhere and in all classes and colors of people, but not everyone will readily admit to their beliefs or opinions on the subject. Some topics are just too hot for some people to handle.

Due to the history of the United States, it is far more common, and strangely more "acceptable", for a southern redneck to make claims like this, rather than, say, an upper class white male from somewhere like Connecticut.

Because everyone has a story, and everyone wants to be heard.

This will always be a current event, since it is an ongoing experience in the lives of many, many people (for better or worse). So as long as there are retarded people claiming one race is better than another, and discriminating against others, there will be controversy...

Most black people don't care who you date.

Were busy with much more important worrying about other things like adversity, stereotyping and racism. INTERRACIAL doesn't cross alot of black people's minds.We could care less.

If we accept them as fellow citizens, we should accept them as in-laws as well.

LOL............gee whiz man. You think blacks are the inferior race and you think dating anyone black is stepping down.

At one time, sure that was true, decades ago. Not anymore. What you're doing is speaking for anyone that is not white, specifically whites.

It would be an insult to whites for you to "represent" their thinking.


Gotta love CD.

Who's busy with that? You?......not me. I pray that blacks don't spend there time dealing with those issues. That would be a pretty sad life to say the least.

Dude stop trying to be the spokesperson. How do you know what crosses the minds of blacks?

You talk as if whites don't deal with adversity, racism and stereotyping. They do. Blacks don't hold the monopoly on those issues. Good grief.....

This is one of those things that is very much still an issue with some Blacks and Whites. Theres still people that get the cringe when they see blacks and whites together. But, it will quickly become a non-issue in the very near future in this country. Face it when your relatives are mixed you will have to adapt to it or be eternally unhappy.
