amazing!  courageous!  that is an aspect of life that never ceases to amaze me..the way people overcame any and all  barriers to co-habitation ever erected.

chalk that up to a basic block in the human make-up..in the make-up of life and living, that proves to me at least that diversity is compelling and a principle of survival.

we should let it flow, see it and forget about it.  just let it be! Smile

I think the African would gain from inter racial marriages.

I know u will say that statement has racist overtones.

BUT from a practical standpoint , looking at the Children in African America , appear to get more opportunities !

not racist ketchim.  a lil' limited yes but not racist.

hybrids improve the species and its chances in nature.  improvement of economic prospects for all requires social reform

social reform is fraught but not fairly simple to understand
