Mixed Races

You: 
> I totally agree.  Whos says other people's personal
social deficiencies should affect my relationship with the
opposite sex.  God made us all.  Why should we only date in
our race to please others?  And to the guy who said I was
living in denial (he misspelled it) and that I'm dreaming,
is in his own state of denial in think people of different
races can't have successful relationships because of Bro.
Litteral's "SPECIAL PROBLEMS."

Me:
Huh?

Who said any time any where that you should stick to your
"race?"  Listen Sister Corey, I have said repeatedly that
race is an invention of man to excuse his inhumanity to
man.  There was OVERWHELMING and near UNANAMUS agreement. 
Did you read one of my post scripts embedded in my name
that said "My next wife will be black" and if you check in
the archives you will see that I stated this along time
ago.

It does the cause of Christ no good to stick to this "angry
young victim that don't take no "stuff" even if I am saved"
routine and I don't think it is accomplishing what you are
setting out to accomplish.  In Christ we are all called to
be "victims."

Maybe where you come from they treat a "mixed couple" just
the same as they do an "unmixed" but let me tell you Sis
they sure don't here in Marion Ohio and I have been other
places and Marion is **WELL** above the average in this
regard.

In the post you quote Bro. Harrell points out that blacks
face this kind of thing all the time and implied that I was
somehow "siding" with the white partner.  This gets to the
very heart of the issue, I am not used to racial slurs and
it took some time for me to catch on and it doesn't bother
me.  It was easier for me because I knew what to expect.
Yeah, in a perfect setup this ADDED stress should be no
trouble but that is not always the case.

In regard to your "tone":

Romans 14:1
Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to
doubtful disputations.

The usual course of action is to identify the "enemy"
before you attack.

I have enough to do defending what I have said and mean
without defending what I haven't said and do not mean. ;-)
By the Grace of God I will do both.  Take it from a person
who has had to eat a few words, they taste a lot better
going out that they do going back down again.
