I think what set me off was the title of the thread. "Why are so many white women marrying black men?" I saw red. My cousin is married to a man from the West Indies. They have been happily married for 13 years and have a 12 year old son.

Nobody ever bloody asks " Why are so many white women marrying white men?":rolleyes:

A little tact would not go astray.

Yes, its not the subject matter that made me mad, its the tone of the posts. I suspect a troll as well.

I want to thank you all for your being insode of my head. Even as I tried to spark some debates--there are people now saying i am sooo horny--with what??

Questions like "Why are so many white women marrying black men"? won't spark a debate because the proposed topic isn't controversial - it's racist.

Why are so many creepy old men buying themselves trophy wives? Because they can, I suppose.

Besides, I don't know that "so many" white women really ARE marrying black men. Do you have some stats you'd like to share? Is the number higher than black women who marry white men? Does anyone even keep track of stuff like that? This is, after all, the 21st century.

I have lived my entire life in the South and I do remember a time when interracial marriage was actually illegal, but that ship sailed a LONG time ago.

In 1967 the United States Supreme Court ruled that all bans on interracial marriage were unconstitutional. Since then, it has steadily become a non-issue and now - 40 years later - we are raising children and grandchildren who are truly color blind. And that's a good thing.

Marry whomever you like. Just be sure you like the person you marry and treat him/her accordingly.

--you're upset that a Man has brain or idea's....

Sorry but that wasn't even close to what I was thinking please stop trying to raise my level of consiousness, whatever the hell that is!

People should marry who they love; white, black, men, women, whoever... as long as the two are consenting adults.

With regard specifically to people of different races marrying, one actual possible benefit that is rarely pointed out that is interesting is that the further away two parents are in the gene pool, the healthier the children tend to be, and, in my personal opinion, the more physically attractive too. A new book details this (it's called "hybrid vigor" in the science world). The book is called "Breeding Between the Lines: Why Interracial People are Healthier and More Attractive" by Aron Ziv.

On an anecdotal note, all of the mixed race people I know are absolutely gorgeous. I know it's not scientific, it's just my personal observation.

Maybe it's time to start a thread called "Why is Lee4Love starting so many inane and intentionally controversial-sounding threads? Does he really think this way? Or is he so starved for attention in real life that he has to try to push strangers' buttons on an online forum that was designed to help people with the LapBand?".

Yeah, that's right. Remember what this site was designed for? That's not to say that this isn't the "Rants and Raves" section and you are certainly entitled to post whatever you want here. Far be it from me to question your right to the first ammendment. But the point is that you don't really have one. I think you are just posting this shit to piss people off. Unfortunately for you, most of us on this site are:

1. women, and

2. intelligent

You aren't pissing us off because we can see through your idiocy.

Get a life.

<p>Ah, Lucy, Tommy O didnt start it. I think you mean Lee4love1. But I agree with you. This Lee character is either incredibly, stupendously ignorant or he's deliberately trying to piss people off. One post I could handle, in fact I replied politely. But when 6 or 7 more appeared, I thought OK this guy is either a mysogynistic racist or he's trying to start a fight. So I had a bit of fun. </p> <p> </p> <p>TommyO, bless him, just proved my theory that the majority of men on this board are intelligent, educated, rational guys and wouldnt relate any better to this sexist bigoted rubbish than the women have.</p>

<p>Tommy may be intelligent--but you women played right into my hands. Sorry you had so much fun--but it's going down in America and there is nothing you can do about it. I see it even in the country area's of Mississippi--White Women--Black Men. Oh I have to be prejudice all of a sudden Just because I wanted to get your imput? Come on--it's a fact--a now reality of life. So what if my mind wonders and get to you. So--what if you're pissed off. --Ph Boo Hoo---you can now cry me a river and if you want to--cry me an Ocena. Yes I brought you a controversal subjects to the forefront--I guess in your little lives---you always go to sleep and wake up and as long as it doesn't effect you--you're cool. <But I was going to give you a reason also why the Black Men are being drawn to the White Women. Nothing prejudice on my part either. We are now going to see the new brown nation starting to emerge. The Black Man is starting to understand there is more of a choice when it comes to a mate and procreation. We are seeing that our choices are no longer limited and in many cases---not limited to American Women. But as I see--there is a lot of Pissed off people out here. So don't blame the messnger--blame it on what your beleifs have been for 10, 20, 30 ad sometimes 40 or 50 years. Stop making all of the excuses and get real. Again--call me a name, 5 names and so on. But I bet you always thought it was you Women who ran things--sorry--mistake--it's not:faint:

.......... Huh?

[OH Juli 15]

Lee,

Could you use a spell checker or just proof read? FFS, it's not that hard.

But clearly communicating doesn't seem to be a priority.

Previous mistaken post corrected.

(...sorry if I offended you, TommyO, it was a mistake)
