was it wrong religiously at one point for a black person to marry a white person? I am just curious.

5. 'bout the best way to find someone with a gun around these parts

2. Yes. Many Southern Christians thought that the "bible" spoke against

interracial marriage. I can remember it being talked about a lot when I was a kid. How it went against the "teachings of the Bible" and other such foolishness. As I remember it, it had something to do with Noah and his sons who where the progenitors of the various races - or something like that...

3. They used some biblical passage

about "the lion shall lie down with the lamb" that went on from there with all kinds of bestial intermixing that apparently lead to no good. Isaiah:11(?)

4. At one time it was socially and culturally unacceptable and to some........

or a lesser extent, remains true today.

6. I always knew it was socially unacceptable..

My parents made that perfectly clear when I briefly dated a women of color!

7. My son is married to a woman of color. Prejudice is 'alive and well'......

with BOTH (ALL) races.
