Blacks were slaves to Democrats and did what their Democrat Masters told them to do and they are still doing what their Demonacrat Masshuhs tells them to do.

Thank you. The level of obsession is very telling. Look up post #222. It should give an insight to what I'm talking about.

Give it up. No one is making Black people think the way they do. You can blame Democrats all you want. Black Americans aren't as stupid as you make us out to be. You just don't like the way we're thinking and voting.

To a certain extent. Black men tend to get it the worst. Black men have been viewed as a threat by other groups as well. I also remember in college meeting an Afro-Caribbean woman. She admitted that her parents told her not to date Black American men. It wasn't any other group. It was just Black American men she wasn't allowed to date.

Oh yes. Lots of (white) folks lose their **** over Kayne West and Kim Kardashian West.

It isn't just White people losing their minds over Kim and Kanye. There is alot of prejudice all over. Personally, I don't like Kim Kardashian. Kanye should have picked someone better, like Soleil Moon Frye (although she's already married so that's a moot point).

Yeah, you're right - there still is a bit of that residual stuff post Loving vs. Virginia. While I don't share a particular love for the Kardashians either, I gotta give them ladies props for having brothers as mates. Maybe that will gradually make interracial pairings in time more acceptable and normal.

I think desertdetroit's wife is white, right?

Social class (basically money and education) trumps everything IMHO.

Don't underestimate the power of money as a great unifier.

Oh yes. There is still some disdain for interracial marriage. However, it also depends on race and gender. I notice that if a Black woman is in an interracial marriage, it doesn't get alot of flack. I rarely of Black women getting hated for being in interracial marriages. However, if it is a Black male/any non-Black female, it gets much more hatred, including from some Black women.

I don't think the Kardashian sisters being with Black men will make interracial marriages more acceptable, at least as far as Black men are concerned. Consider this. The Kardashian sisters might be rich and famous, but they're also rather trashy. In order for a Black male/White female couple to truly be accepted, they have to be immaculate. There are many people who see White women (or rather any non-Black female) being with a Black man as being trashy. That woman cannot be like a Kardashian. And that man has to be very immaculate himself, like a doctor or an engineer. The Kardashian sisters are often seen as stereotype of "trashy women who only like Black men".

Sometimes, and sometimes not. In some cases money can make strange bedfellows out of some peope. In other cases, money isn't enough. Social status sometimes trumps money. There are many who will choose race over money, especially when that option is there.
