That's too bad, it's a shame stuff like this still happens. I say marry whoever you want to as long as it's a union between 2 (and only 2) consenting adults.

I mean this isn't a funny story at all overall but "I have piles and piles of black friends...they use my bathroom" made me laugh. Anyway Republicans in the south are going nuts.

[El Kabong]

....that guy was a Democrat pre 2008

[OumaFan]

haha, I just put that in to mess with you. Of course they are going nuts but its not just limited to the south. I bet he was Republican on the national level, a lot of local level Dems are, or maybe he wasn't I don't know.

[OumaFan]

But seriously why would you be a Democrat and watch Bush do his best to drag the country into the dirt and then think hmm I should vote Republican?

I wonder what his motivations were

[El Kabong]

...perhaps because of Obama being half black. Doesn't seem to bother Senator Byrd who was in the KKK, he is still a Democrat

[JazMerkin]

He's right. My life has been so terrible

I think he's clearly a racist (funny how they always have 'loads of black friends' & never have 'a racist bone in their body), but in truth being mixed-race is far more complex than people think, I would say that there are definitely problems of acceptance. I think you tend to find yourself feeling more accepted by black people, but that's largely due to how society as a whole determines being 'black'. You also most certainly here black people coming out with this kind of stuff.

You certainly have to put up with bigotry from both sides a lot more, but hey if there's one thing being mixed-race does, it makes you have a sense of humour about these things. Or makes you a sociopath. I can't decide
