Ok, aren’t you a sweetheart. You stopped reading after the first comment for 2 reasons. If you had read on you would see how I am educated. One thing I know for certain, no on can argue with ANY woman and expect to come out on top. You are so full of hatred that you refuse to understand anything else. My mother in law is just like you, but she admits she is racist. You are absolutely right in that I did not experience racism, but prejudice. I like to be educated, and can take some criticism. I was referring to the first part of your article and not the second. I can understand racism, IF you are willing to say that being married to a black man is a different race, as we deal with so much as individuals and families that other “normal” couples just don’t face. I face it when I go to the store, etc. But if you don’t choose to see it as a different race then see it as it is which it is being married to someone of a different race requires so much strength, energy, strong will etc to handle and deal with things most couples will never face. I have had things thrown at me and insults hurled at me when I was big and pregnant with our daughter walking down the street holding hands. We face prejudice from our families too sometimes. It sucks, it’s not fair, does it compare to the racism that others face? maybe you choose not to see it but I experience it as people will get up and move away from me where I sitting, or call the police when we are hugging to say I am being attacked (this has happened twice). Since racism and this prejudice cause people to act the same way, I see it as comparable. Please do not respond with anything referring to slavery, we are talking in today’s society not something you never experienced. Thank you for responding.
