And you are simply wrong about this part: that black-white coupling which more often than not has diddly to do with marriage is lightening up the black race...which may well be the intention of the black sperm donors but you ignore that from the white mother's perspective they are darkening up the white side...what I see 95% of the time here in TN with black-white sex is an opportunity...black men are availing themselves to white women that white men don't want because they are fat or hard looking...which is sure a bigger part of the white girl pool than ever before..now I know someone will post a pro football player with a white beauty to refute me but that is the exception by far
Even though these mixed race babies are considered something other than white frequently , they are still more often than not raised by the white side since the black man as usual has nothing to do with it beyond impregnation. Miss USA from Colombia TN here recently was a product of this pattern.
I am in Tennessee and raised in Mississippi so I don't think many have lived as a white in the US in closer proximity to blacks than I.
I am further north but I have lived in just as close a proximity or even more than you.
By the way, I never mentioned ‘marriage’ when I gave my opinion of interracial relationships.
Where I live I see some really pretty white girls that go for not so attractive black guys. Have no idea why that is. Maybe we just don't have as many dog ugly white girls here. The children that are the result of these relationships are really cute. Don't know who is raising them. Since out of wedlock births in the black community is 75%, it's sure not a two parent home regardless of the color of the parents.
