I have never dated outside my race.

I am married to a black lady, and she is the most incredible person in the world.
I'm certain that God won't condemn an interracial couple as long as they serve Him with their whole hearts. If a black man marries, or even dates a white woman, to me it's kind of an insult, but are they in love? But there is one thing I've come to learn: In every nationality, country, ethnicity,etc. There is a man, that is insensitive, unaffectionate, forgetful of important events, etc. But there is also in each of these, the opposite of these. And in every part of the world, there are materialistic, unreasonable women. Followed by the opposites of these. So in conclusion, if a white woman/man, or Black man/woman, married a German, Japanese, French, Mexican, etc, man or woman...would the issue be the same? Oh and FYI, Blacks are and have always been the majority. Slave owners just couldn't resist how different our beauty was, and then came the half-breeds.

Don't Blame President Obama

The number of Americans who believe that the nation is headed in the right direction has roughly tripled since Barack Obama's election, and the public overwhelmingly blames the excesses of the financial industry, rather than the new president, for turmoil in the economy.

Harvard Professor Gates arrested at HIS OWN home

Race? Disorderly conduct? More likely police misconduct How easy to hide a misbehaving officer behind the heroes who do their job every day. Sure the officer was doing his job when he arrived at Dr. Gates home but once he was there he forgot for whom he was working. The officer is employed by the public. Which other employees are allowed to mistreat their employers? As soon as Dr. Gates identified himself, the authority was only his not the officer's. From that moment on, the officer was speaking to his employer and owed him all the respect afforded to him. We must not forget that police officers receive their temporary authority from the public; and that authority always belongs to the public. When the officers forget that basic premise, they begin to believe that they are the law... or worse that they are above the law.

There is a lesson in here, apologizing to the ungracious is not particularly productive. Obama over stated his support for Dr. Gates (almost every comment I’ve read in the last 2 days has also been overstated one way or another). So far as I can tell no one knows who baited who here, yet there is an amazing amount of certitude. At least Obama seems to know that he doesn’t know. This shows a level of maturity not commonly found on the internet.

Oh yes , it was definitely racist.

I remember at the gym one day I was working out next to a what man who was talking to his black trainer, telling him he was not at all prejudiced against any person or color except for Jews because he felt a Jew had cheated him once. (I wonder how much was actual truth and how much was his expectation). Not that there aren't some cheating Jews out there but there are cheats of all colors and persuasions. Being married to a Jew, I was furious (one because he had the nerve to make a statement like that next to a total stranger whom he knew nothing about and two because what he was saying was total bullshit...the guy was a racist) and I stopped my workout and let him have it.

I DO NOT THINK I AM RACIEST BUT I JUST THINK THE SAME COLOR SHOULD BE TOGETHER

Let's face it. According to a book on slavery and race. interracial relationships is a bitter past for black men. Our communities are in disarray and black folks are on this site worrying about sleeping with White folk.

Sotomayor: A Black Man's View

Republican Senators, most of them, make much of Sotomayor's ... "wise Latino woman..." statement and, of course, their numerous citing of the New Haven case: one wherein Sonja Sotomayor and a panel of 2nd Circuit Judges upheld existing law related to Affirmative Action, but were reversed by the USSC. The reversal was seen as striking down policies in employment that favored minorities, but was seen by many Anglos as introducing a bias against whites. The USSC reversal, therefore, becomes a victory for white males in particular, and conservatives in general.
This term was first put out there by the Re-thug-licans favorite racist drug addict, Rush Limpdick.
Now it seems to have caught on like that late '80's saying, "gag me with a spoon."
Everybody is talking about Reverse Racism now a-days.
The latest is the Supremes ruling in favor of the WHITE FIREFIGHTERS in Connecticut.

It seems that 19 White and 1 Puerto Rican Firefighter sued the city of New Haven for discriminating against them by promoting less qualified Black Firefighters to higher positions within the department.

The Black side of me wants to say so what, who cares? How many times have Blacks been overlooked when they were more qualified that Whites and in this case a Puerto Rican?
But the Human side of me is saying, Good for them. They deserve this ruling and all the back pay that they would have accumulated up to this point, if they would have gotten the higher position that they earned.

The city of New Haven was dead wrong and I am glad that the Supremes got this one right.
Hiring or promoting to meet a quota is dead ass wrong.
If the 19 White and 1 Puerto Rican Firefighters worked harder and studied more for the Firefighters promotion test than their Black brother's did, then they deserve the promotion and the Blacks need to suck it up and work harder.

This shit should not have even made it to the Supreme's.
And in my opinion, the Black Firefighters should have stood beside their fellow Firefighters and declined the promotions.
But that would only happen in a perfect world.
All this case did was divide the Fire Department down color lines that will take years to fix.

This case is one of the problems I have with Affirmative Action. Do we still need it?
In some cases, yes we do. Affirmative Action has put (and continues to put) minorities into positions or schools that they would not have gotten a chance to be in without it.

But hiring a person just to say, 'Look my company is not racist. We have Jerome down in the mail room, Jose is in the Kitchen, Consuela is cleaning windows and Ming Chow is at the help desk', is wrong.
Me personally, I would not accept a job if I knew that I was only hired to meet a number.
Hire me for my qualifications, my education, my personality or my deep chocolate good looks.
But don't hire me just because I just happen to be African American applicant number 9.
To me that is degrading.
People have been watching Judge Judy and People's Court for twenty years now and all of a sudden everyone's an expert on judges and the court system.
But I already know that some of my brothers and sisters are going to comment talking about how the White Man has kept us down for so long that this is only pay back.
In some cases this might be true. But.....Now a days the only man holding us back is the man or woman in the mirror.
That bullshit excuse that I know is coming is nothing but tired rhetoric that condones people getting over for doing nothing to earn what ever they get.
Racism is still alive and well here in the good ole US of A, but now two can play that game. There are too many resources available to us to just accept any and everything that is thrown off the kitchen table as scraps.
So my hat is off to my White brothers and one Puerto Rican brother that won this decision.
Because me personally, if my crib is in flames, I could give two shits what color the help is.
The only thing I would be worrying about is when is Help coming.

I guess I don’t act black enough for some!

Oh yes! I have friends of mine say I was “The smartest black person [they] know!”
