As Buckley asked, if things are so bad why do mixed couples who want to have children get married and put young children through all that

Maybe because they love one another, understand that they are Individuals with the God-gtven Right to do as they please; and are willing to deal with the difficulties, because they believe in the Future and a day where skin color won't matter.

I see many mixed couples in my area, and the kids aren't suffering because of it. Their parents are often still afraid to let the teens drive the 'Big Black Cadillac', in case the cops think that they've stolen it and are up to no good (Black folks still fear this stuff!)

But, the "world" has changed, and Buckley (R.I.P.) was speaking many years ago.

“I see many mixed couples in my area, and the kids aren’t suffering because of it.”

That is what I am thinking.

I don’t know if it’s true but I’ve heard that the child of a racially mixed couple qualifies, at least in some cases, for legal “protected class” designation.
