No, I am not. I generally won't look their way.

Look, I am not in here promoting, advertising, whatever, interracial upset. I am merely stating that not all folks are into this culturally diverse society that some on this board have absolutely no problem accepting. On the other side of this coin, including yourself obviously, accept it on certain levels, for certain reasons. One reason maybe they truly have no problem with cultural diversity. Another maybe the emporer has beautiful clothes syndrome. I think most of it is the latter.

Now I will be scorned publicly, or silently for this post as I have been for previous posts. But that does not make me wrong. I am not saying ALL folks believe this way. But, you ask in private, the average white guy, how they would feel if their daughter came home with a black boy friend, I do not think you would get the same answer from him that you would get if he was asked in front of an audiance. Same thing here Bella Bru. Same thing here. Some folks don't like it, and won't for a long time.

If you asked my 61 year old father whom he'd like to see brought home, he'd answer simply with: someone who works hard and likes the Cleveland Browns. And he has adored every non-lily white skinned man I have brought to him to meet.

And many people make judgements based on other things. As in: is daughter's potential boyfriend hard working? Educated? Has a future?

FReepers are supposed to be oh-so concerned with "real" values. I guess for some on FR, those "real" values begin and end with race, no questions of any other values asked.
