Ain’t it great to be able to call others names and hurl prejoratives when what one wants desperately to believe is challenged – I haven’t heard burns like some of these since back in the seventh grade – actually a bit of objective research goes a long way in coming up with interesting information about this hot topic – here for instance is an excerpt from a 2016 internet article:

”In 2002 the Center for Disease Control published statistics about divorce rates that showed interracial marriages were more likely to end in divorce than same-ethnic marriages — 41 percent versus 31 percent. Interracial couples may grapple with different cultural assumptions and expectations so integrated into their lives that they’re not aware of them on top of all the usual marriage adjustments and stresses. Working through these differences can be challenging. Avoiding the risk factors associated with interracial divorce can help create a successful marriage. Within an existing marriage, interracial couples can overcome differences inherent to their backgrounds, cultures and races.”

For those interested in facts and not just name-calling, here’s a link to the article

(I tried to post a picture of OJ Simpson and his wife as another example of a happily married interracial couple – back in the day at least – but can’t get the link to work – sorry)……..
