And yes, some people now would find it all interesting and ironic...and not in a bad way. the LW family was always "above" the southern mindset when they were there - they werent from there, they hadnt been indoctrinated to the segregation of the races. It wasnt and isnt a church or spiritual issue...
and times have changed...thankfully.
He wasnt bringing this up to say they are *gasp* dating or married to black men...

I would imagine that the majority of us would not know how these people from earlier times would feel. That would also tend to make a thread open for misinterpretatin it would seem.
