And they said the country would never elect a black president. Times they are a changin. Not fully changed yet by any stretch but people just seem more open minded and less prejudice these days.. Why would people lie on an anonymous message board? If they felt like they had to lie, why bother responding?

I think it's projection. Certain people who believe certain things tend to want to believe that most people agree with them, or in the case that it's an unpopular position, agree with them but don't want to openly admit it.

Really? So were you being open minded when you called me a racist idiot and a bigot? There was a question, I answered it honestly and you attacked me because you didn't like my answer. If that's being open minded, than I'd hate to see your idea of prejudice.

All honesty right now, if you had a daughter who is 16, and your 16 year old daughter brings a black man, who is the same complexion as Wesley Snipes, how would you really react as a parent? Instead of giving the politically correct answer, just think about how you would react at that moment.

In some cultures, they would literally disown their daughters them from the spot if a situation like that happens.
I would be QUITE okay with it if the person was a kind and loving individual who would value and treat with kindness, dignity, and respect - my son or daughter.

Quite frankly, there's a lot of a-holes running around from all races. My hope and wish is that my children end up with people who will be their best partner and friend - for life. Race has NOTHING to do with it.

I think that you are right. People like you and apparently your children (although I don't blame your children as the fruit doesn't fall too far from the tree) - should stay within your OWN race. I would prefer that you stay within your own island, if at all possible.

And if they do choose to go "outside" your own "race", and be disowned by your and your wife, it doesn't sound like they'd be missing out on a lot based on your post.

I can understand being upset by change and things that we're not comfortable with, but disowning your child/ren because of race issues? We're all part of the human race. Hard to believe that this kind of mentality is alive and well in 2009.

Whine more please,like i dont hear enough of it. It is my right to raise my kids how i want and its our right to want to stay within our own race and to actually have kids that look like us! Unlike my disgusting sister who has 2 half black kids and look absolutely nothing like her or anyone in our family! Must be great waking up everyday and wondering who those strange looking kids are.

I love different opinions, and I love people with different opinions.

I just can't stand you and your opinions.

I don't like individuals who hate others because of who they are.

I'm weird that way.
