Wow, can't believe some still people think this way...

The PPP poll shows that Mississippians aged 18-29 are more likely to think interracial marriages should be illegal than those aged 30-45 and those 45-65. The younger generation were pretty similar to those 65 and older in their views on the legality of interracial marriages.

Aged 18-29: 30% say interracial marriages should be legal, while 54% say illegal
Aged 30-45: 48% say legal, while 38% say illegal
Aged 55-65: 49% legal, 39% illegal
Aged 65+: 30% legal, 56% illegal

Of what import or detriment would this possibly be?

Would we all suffer from having no obvious racial heritage to readily display? Would wearing those clickable coloured ear tags that cattle have, to register their breeding, be sufficient to satisfy those concerns for the retards who still give a rat's patoot?

So the entire worlds population 'evolves' to a shade of gray or 'ecru'; WHO CARES?

Perhaps if that day were already here we'd have FAR LESS problems with all of this angst over race.
Stop this bleating on about "Who cares?" It's a dumb question. You know people care. Your statement is the equivalent to someone entering a 35 page thread about global warming and then asking, "Who cares?" Think about how stupid that is.

And why do you put white in quotes? Should I say that I'm "mixed?" What the hell kind of thinking is that?

Just because people care about something doesn't make that concern well-founded or even reasonable.

The poll was taken by a biased left leaning organization that has a history of carefully picking households that will vote in favor of the outcome their looking for.

Thumbs down ok....

ok first you and I both know this is not worth talking about. I believe we do have the civil rights act of 1968. Case closed. Are we perhaps saying this because a certain man in power would not have been if his parents were not allowed to marry..... hum.. let you mediate on that. THIS is such a validate things for GAYS everywhere that want to be married..... So now we must not be gay and we have to be the same skin tone too....preposterous!!!!!
ron paul please,,,,
rupaul would have a better chance at winning...

Are you remotely surprised that a "Mississippean Republican" would be less than intelligent?.

I bet 90% of them think the earth is 6000 years old too and that Jesus helps them fold their laundry.
