Dallas County candidate admits plan to reward his children who marry white, straight Christians

The estranged brother of a former judge running for county commissioner contacted the Dallas Morning News earlier this week with a bold assertion: that the candidate, Vickers ‘Vic’ Cunningham, was a lifelong racist.

Cunningham, a former criminal district judge, largely denied his brother’s accusations. But he confirmed to the newspaper that he had set up a living trust with a clause that would reward his children if they married a white person.

“I strongly support traditional family values,” Cunningham, 55, told the Morning News. “If you marry a person of the opposite sex that’s Caucasian, that’s Christian, they will get a distribution.”

It’s a lie. I do not believe anything from the compost.

I've known blacks and other races who want their childen to marry in their race. Some Filipinos I know are very adamant about their race and religion.

I don't consider them bigots.

What is wrong with this man wanting his kids to marry within their race?

[Blue House Sue]

It’s his right to set up such a trust and he is not denying it, and apparently confirming it.

[dljordan]

What’s the problem?

Parents can certainly tell their children whom they should marry. And their children will usually do the opposite!

[MayflowerMadam]

Our parents’ reward for us to marry straight white Christians was, “You get to live.”

>What’s the problem?<

At first glance the problem seems to be the female reporter who has a last name that’s deeply into another and very foreign culture.

Like Seattle’s East Indian city council member who came, she saw, she conquered, and is screwing up the city that elected her. I’ve been told that Seattle’s streets reek of urine, feces, and communism, just like cities in India do.

No, I don’t like foreign invaders coming in and calling my people racists if they resist invasion.

So, I’m a racist. So, sue me. And wipe yourself with your left hand like they do in certain peoples native lands.

Any semblance of racial, ancestry, religious, orientation, et al pride is “racist” etc if done by white people.

To hear the cowards in politics and media tell it, “racism” is a genetic defect found only in Caucasians.

No one else could POSSIBLY BE bigoted

And here, 5 decades after they started this BS, the country is more divided. Moral of the story: People tire of being blamed, scapegoated for the dysfunctional ways of others.

Yet they still beat down the doors to come here.

If you want “equality” EARN IT and start by STFU

“I’ve known blacks and other races who want their childen to marry in their race. Some Filipinos I know are very adamant about their race and religion.

I don’t consider them bigots.”

I do. Anyone with a brain considers them that.

Crazy parents that engage in a low-level form of arranged marriages.

[Blue House Sue]

“What’s the problem?”

It’s going cost him an election.

[EEGator]

That’s what I was going to say.

[Gay State Conservative]

People instinctively prefer their own kind.

And the problem is?
Overwhelmingly, Africans in America(not African Americans) marry other Africans, Chinese in America and Chinese Americans marry other Chinese Americans. Same with Indians, Filipinos etc. Its much easier for marriages from same culture/religion/race to work than the other way round. Why make things harder for yourself?
For example, I don't have expect the Prince Harry marriage to last.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

#5: "What’s the problem?"

Yep. I don't see a problem either. It's his money. He could give it to the Negro College Fund if he wanted. Whatever.

Good old "Dear Abby" had sage advice for all: "M.Y.O.B."
 

[OpusatFR]

Those who want their children to marry within their culture are not demanding an arranged marriage.

Anyone with half a brain understands the difference between a preference and a marriage broker.

[RedMonqey]

Parents can certainly tell their children whom they should marry. And their children will usually do the opposite!

Very true.

The more bigoted, stupid the father is, the more likely the daughter will head to the meanest, baddest black male she can find and have his baby.

Witnessed this several times in my life.

And the union is never a happy one. She is giving the father the middle finger and no favor to the black man.

You cannot tell the heart it cannot have what it wants. All you can hope for is your daughters(and sons) find happiness.

[SmokingJoe]

It’s going cost him an election

Then again it may not. We shall see.

[Rurudyne]

It’s his money and he can leave it to who and under what conditions he wants.

There are some folks fussing about this over at Hannity and the OP is all self righteous about of course the guy is a Republican, never mind the inherent and yet somehow self-righteous racism of the Left.

And OF COURSE they are making the biggest fuss about prospective black spouses (can’t imagine much fuss being made over potential Asian etc in-laws) ... though of course their outrage over any perceived slight against homosexuals is probably gonna make an appearance too.

I mean, how DARE he have opinions contrary to their standards of niceness, right?

Frankly, at this time the progressive culture is so toxic, and subordinate to that the reach of demands on blacks for conformity and adopting attitudes of victimization seems so difficult to escape in the first place that having a white parent almost seems like it would hurt the chances of a mixed race child to escape all of that.

I’m not saying that’s this guy’s issue but if he is indeed looking looking down the road it may well be part of it.

Blacks get all upset when whites adopt children with any percent of African blood. Yet, blacks aren’t stepping up to the plate to adopt black children.
