I honestly feel like some of the people who I have dealt with in the past have used their "genuine concern" for the social plight of the interracial to mask their own discomfort with White/Black marriages specifically. Some of them did not raise the same concerns with the unions of other cultures. At the same time I do recognize the unique history of White/Black in America.
It has long been a regret of mine, that the church was not at the forefront of overcoming that history (particularly the Apostolic church, since we do claim to be the Church). I say that if two people are in love and the will of God...go for it. Their chances of making it can't be any worse than anybody else's these days.
I heard an old Black preacher in Pentecost say "don't call me Brother, if deep down you feel you are too good to call me Brother-in-Law, because Brother is a much more intimate relationship"
