That is very true. I know Preachers that wont marry a white and black, but
will marry just about everything else with the exception of same sex
marriages. This is a problem that was created by the original fall of man.
We hate, and we dont understand why we hate.

If *two* people fall in love, want to marry, the bible says "what God has
put together, let no man tear asunder". This of course was speaking of
marriage. What I may personally feel towards two people getting married
should not matter. If he is responsible, hard working man, with the Holy
Ghost. Acts 2:38 believing man, then skin color should not matter, would
not matter. If on the other hand, he was a lazy no good, with no visible
means of supporting my daughter (of which I have one), then skin color is
still not an issue. There's no way he is marring my daughter.

Amen, blood does cover it all. I would challenge any that feel inter-racial
marriage is wrong, to look at the inter-racial marriages in their church.
Spanish/White, White/Asian, Asian/Spanish, etc, etc. What then would make
White/Black, Black/White marriage wrong.
