Interracial marriages on the rise, but social stigmas persist

[stamperben]

Uhhh...did you not see that in my post where I wrote, "Indeed. We are all human. What does that have to do with interracial marriages."

I don't know. All I see is you're on some sort of tangent that makes NO sense. I'm outta here. As it has been known to be said - Be blessed. By whatever floats your boat.

(And folks wonder why I have little desire to associate with those who call themselves "christians" anymore.)

Hey here's a thought.... If anyone is bothered by interracial marriages then they have the freedom to simply marry someone of their own race.... How's about that?

And the people who don't mind it can marry whoever they want?

I'm just spitballing here but I think this could work.

It already has worked, and like I said before, I've got no issue with a person who wants to date his race only for whatever reason. Even if it's a bad reason, its not our business.

The distinction I've made between "racial purists" and those that come down with a bad case of "the fever," is the latter won't give you crap for your dating choices to the point where they are passing laws that tell you that you can't. The latter won't tell you that you are destroying your own race.

wow, 19 pages on a non-issue.

"50 percent of Millennials say the trend toward more people of different races marrying each other is good for society. By comparison, 38 percent of Gen Xers, 33 percent of Boomers and only 19 percent of Silents say the same," Pew reported."

Why does it have to be "good for society"? Why not just what the vast majority of people think, which is "so what?" Neither good nor bad.

And if someone decides to marry someone of a different race, how is that good for society?

What's your answer to this question? If you've already posted that, just refer me to the post #.

No one in society has to approve of anyone else lifestyle or choices.
when the. Blending, mixing, is finished, there won't be any difference anyway.
I know some can't receive that, but whatever.

I don't think it's either good or bad for society

It's good in the same way anyone else getting married is good for society.

Is marriage in general good or bad for society?

Heterosexual marriage is good for society, but to single out a particular type of heterosexual marriage is a different topic. As I said, the poll question itself was racist

That's why it was racist to specifically poll about a particular type of marriage

It's not racist to find out if racism exists.

The poll wouldn't determine that

What was the poll question? Post it here.

You have yet to explain how plant seeds equate to humans.

And if you really want to take this verse to heart, I suggest who avoid buying any fruit or vegetables in this country...as all of our seed stock is "mixed"!

That's not the question, that was their interpretation.

Oh, are we playing Jeopardy? How about is it good for society for different races to marry for 50.

 

[OGM]

Believe as you wish.

How would you define race? What characteristics would you use?

 

[Norah63]

Racism from both sides, that's why it makes no diff to society.
