I think that the anti-interracial marriage position are soon to be few and far between. The culture is far removed from the perspectives of even 30 years ago.

Wow I'm dealing with this issue even just tonite. I live in the north but live under a pastor from Georgia... I love his preaching and believe 99% of wat he preaches about, except for his views on races. Ok ppl have their opinions on inter-racial marriages, which okay if u don't believe in it then ok, but I do. But when the Pastor says the n-word over the platform, which wasn't talking about ppl but "black" wood as well as I've been told they all say that word referring to black ppl at home & there is a confederate flag in his sons room which is in the pastors house... Ughhhh!!!! I feel like I'm gonna end up saying not pretty things. Would u go somewhere else Titus? Just curious. Sorry for letting my frustrations out.

ive looked close family members in the eye and told them I would cut them off if they used the Nword around my kids. period. no room for discussion. no room for negotiation.

That dont happen around me without me stepping into it.

It is stupid to be against inter ratial marriage. Stupid and against Jesus Christ. you can tell any moron who disagrees with me I said so!

I feel that if people are happy with their spouse and in love with each other, why then is it anybody else's business?

You'd be surprised if each one of us were to reveal our bloodlines, what would be in them. LOL! You are no different than most any one in the US for sure!
