I am white and my wife is Jamaican. She is still in Jamaica and has not been to the US as of now, but I have spent alot of time in Jamaica and I think the people there are very wonderful people (most of them). Her family is very supportive and loving and has no problem that i am white. BUT, there are some (ok alot) of racial men in Jamaica. I had to learn quick to just ignore them and smile at them as I held my wife close to me. They made many remarks like white man, why you with a white man, and they would tell my wife that no white man can please like a Jamaican man (they could be right, but my wife thinks different, she is very happy in all depts.)

As for my family, they are very supportive and can't wait to meet her (except for 1 aunt who laughed at me, but i don't even speak to her anymore -- its her ignorance not mine). My church which is 95% white are very supportive and anxious to meet her as well. (which brings up a point -- We all serve the same God, so it does'nt matter in His eyes, so we should not worry about what others think)

It's like I've been saying for a looong time. Give this a few more centuries, we'll all be a mocha sort of colour. Just a bunch of mutts. :jest:

We'll all be Chinese :whistle:

Just because you "look" like one particular "group" does not mean that is what you are. A lot of people get caught up in what somthing looks like and will shut the door without even taking a peek..So closeminded... If that was the case I would not be on this earth.( thanks for meeting mom and dad- who actually have THEIR parents to thank as they are BOTH mixed!!!!) So I am a definate mutt.... Anyway I think we all need to stop "reacting" so bad and sometimes crazaly(is this a word??lol) in the hopes not to give the taunters the reaction that they are looking for....

KEEP ON CROSS BREEDING!!!!!! :thumbs:

Did you know that the rhyming word you chose to cover up the racial slur is also a racial slur? :unsure:

I'm sure you didn't mean it, but it gave me a chuckle.

I was thinking the same thing.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip
