Well, that will be a long time. Words and thoughts are what we share on any forum. You said your thoughts on a public forum also. You insulted millions of people at the same time.

Could be a bunch of Jamaican/Americans.

We're all African, ultimately, and all cousins from grandma Mitochondrial Eve.

This is a bitter pill for some people to swallow.

Everybody has preferences. What's wrong with that? Opinions, like style, constantly change. Nobody is 'right' all the time.

I did not vote because I don't think it is the Government's business. On the other hand, I believe after having been involved in the study and observing results of the genetic world for over 50 years that there are certain crosses of genetic inheritance that for the greater percentage of resulting offspring's problems should be avoided. I only wish genetics were on the education agenda of those about 14 to 15 and above instead of sex education! It would do a whole lot more good.

We don't have to all look the same. Some people will mix. Some won't. And some people who mix now, their children might mix even further. There isn't a guarantee that we'll all look the same. I don't think it's wrong. We're all human. I am African-American and I have a mixture in me. Mostly African, but I have some French, Irish, German, and Native American in me as well.
