Why is black capitalized and white is lower case?

[Albion Wilde]

And since we are not part of a governing body, but a couple having a conversation on their couch, it's just better to allow for the fact that we see some things differently.

One reason this couple are building a strong and workable communication between themselves is this admirable sense of perspective, of keeping their egos proportionate to the situation.

No one cares about his skin color.

And that is the key point. Race is really less important nowadays.

Almost everyone is a mixed breed...."I'm half Irish and half Italian and my wife is 3/4 German, 1/8 Sioux and 1/8 Romanian." Unless you're in Hyannisport or a dog with papers, you're a mutt.

So any married couple inevitably has that kind of stuff to work through. "Honey, your grandmother just said it would be better for me to go away so you can marry someone who is Irish." It happens, but that doesn't get much airtime but it hits just the same.

With race, the differences are right there for societal analysis and feedback. "Dude, why are you dating HER?" Then they talk and find out "oh...she has a GUN?" Ding ding ding...we have a winner.

I'd also say are different today vs 30 years ago so most people don't freak out if say Johnny brings home Xulian.

But if Johnny brings home a white girl Mary who's tatted up with piercings and at Thanksgiving says "I refuse to eat your death flesh" I suspect Mom and Dad would have preferred Johnny had stuck with Xulian.

But not enough to get MARRIED?

Funny, the black gal in our family doesn’t act like your opinion. Good thing too she’s a great person, patriot, mother and wife.

THE ORIGIN OF “RACES”

[Old Yeller]

I noticed that too. The combination of a black woman with a white man is one the rarer interracial combos. Much more common are black men and white women.

Much more common is black thugs impregnating fat ugly white chicks and then abandoning them, so that we have to support them.

White women are the typical traitors.

Says the person posting racist comments.

[EEGator]

Correct.

Congrats on your long and blessed marriage.

My now-grown kids happen to be “mixed” and were raised to judge people based on character, which was somewhat difficult to do with so many other forces (mostly on the Left) trying to convince them to judge people otherwise and to see themselves in a certain way. Now, the Left is bringing everything back to the sixties.
