It's pretty amazing that less than half the population in American still didn't approve of marriage between blacks and whites in 1995.

That's frightening, but it is kinda cool that there has been such a dramatic shift in a short time (I assume some of this has to do with the older generations dying off, too).

It will be fascinating to see similar poll results for gay marriage 20 years from now.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I was thinking that. I'd be curious to see now v. even 10 years ago.

The real question is:

Would you let him date your daughter?

Blatantly sexist remark.

Why didn't you ask "would you let your son date her?"

 

[tlongII]

Sorry, but I would NEVER marry a black dude.

 

[tlongII]

Or white dude.

 

[tlongII]

Or Asian dude.

I think it will be fascinating to see this same poll in 20 years to be completely honest. I could see it either bump to high 90s or dip back down again.

The real question is:

Would you let him date your daughter?

And that goes both ways, gender and race. Thankfully my family doesn't think that way, but a couple girls I've dated... Their families weren't very accepting to say it in a nice way.

Seems like apples vs oranges here Sly. On one hand, no children result so why care. On the other, you may want to consider children that may result.

My grandsons all have blonde hair and green eyes, as does or did, grandfather. Not going to happen in a mixed race marriage.

Wait what?!? You're against mixed race marriages because the kids won't look like you?!?

Well if they looked like the milkman it would be disappointing. If they looked like dviss, I'd be would be pissed.

Seriously, why is it important that your grandchildren look like you?

Dude...

I don't think blonde hair and green eyes should go extinct. Those are the visible attributes, perhaps others not visible.

 

[MarAzul]

Dude...

What is this "Dude" stuff?

 

[tlongII]

I think SlyPokerDog is a racist.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

The most racist and most averse group of people I've ever met when it comes to interracial relationships are Indian people (India)

 

[MarAzul]

I think he's calling you a racist. Because. Well. You are.

If you say so. I don't mind what your children are, but if you don't mind I prefer my children are of my race. I seen no good in becoming all one race.
I am not against mixed marriages as Sly over extrapolated, but it should remain a valid choice not to mix for the obvious reasons.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

We are one race, the human race.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Not racist, species-ist, dogs > humans!

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

But would you marry a pug?

 

[MarAzul]

We are one race, the human race.

Yes, yes... the same genetic profile, blah blah. Expand the scale, you will fine Green eye, vs brown eye, on and on. The differences should be celebrated not obfuscated or submerged for the PC
agenda. Nothing wrong with Green eyes remaining.

Point for Sly, Denny likes it.

How did my post differentiate between who "he" his. What I already said goes both ways.

Dude. All children should be loved unconditionally. I don't care what their skin color is.

I have not said anything about having green eyes being wrong. What is this scale that you are talking about?

 

[Sinobas]

Or Asian dude.

Yes you would, it would hurt less.
