So what are you trying to say regarding interracial marriages that involve Blacks?

Second of all, what does anything you are saying have to do with interracial marriage? This is one celebrity marrying another. No different than a hair dresser marrying an auto mechanic. My issue is that you believe that Blacks see interracial marriage as "moving up" or "marrying up". Can you back your statement up? If not, then what you have said is fallacious, and could be a sly way of talking poorly of interracial marriage.

I admit that I am not a fan of interracial marriage. Eventually, the world will be populated by people that all look alike. I want to retain my race just as most members of other races want to retain theirs.

Well, considering we are all from Africa if you go back thousands of years ago, everybodies lineage is African so we would all be eating sand....yuk


Apparently, Humans need to differentiate themselves from other humans based on Race, Religion, Nationality, Tribe, hair color or any number of reasons. Racism is just one of many isms. It's persistent in our DNA to develop a tribe mentality and to differentiate every other tribe as being in competition with our own tribe.

How about if your mixed like many people in the Middle East or North Africa (Some very White and Others very Black, but many just a multitude of colors in between). Or how about Thomas Jeffereson's part Black, Great Great Great grand children who identify as White (Same would apply to the ones that Identify as Black). Can they continue to claim their Whiteness or do they have to claim mixed?

The falling marriage rate is also common among whites. Whenever I hear about divorce either online or in the media, most of them are white.

Well thankfully, you aren't in a position of power to prevent people from marrying interracially. You see, this is something you must know. Racism starts out with bigoted opinions, but it is more than that. It is about having power over someone. I just hope you don't end up in a position of power to make decisions based on what you believe about race.

And something else. Why would you stoop to passive-aggressive comments about interracial marriage? I want to hear from you. I might have an idea, but I want to hear from you personally.

Racism is about having power and control over others.

Oh it's ok when you make the accusations but others meh not. Puhlease."
Zimmerman looks mestizo. Just b/c his grandfather was dark doesn't mean he has significant black african blood. His grandfather could have been mostly native.

(A) is unwillingness to intermarry with outside groups an indication of racism ?


(B) the gap between blacks and whites was 12%, while the gap between young and old was 26%. Given that the median white American is 9 years older than the median black American, how do we know that this "race gap" isn't actually an "age gap" that's being misread?
