That is, indeed, a poofy afro. Some right-wing columnist recently got into trouble for saying that couples like this one 'make conservatives nauseous,' or something along those lines.

There is a whole thread about that columnist's comments on the News and Current Events thread here on WP as we speak.

Cohen is a columnist for the Washington Post, who is actually usually classified as a liberal, who said that the sight of DeBlasio's family would make "conventional people sick". He didnt actually say he himself was made sick- but that seems to be between the lines.

But I think both of children are rather charismatic. Even the son's Seventies-Soul-Train style Afro appeals to nostalgic boomers like me.

The Article wrote:
"It reflects the American values of embracing different races, ethnicities, religions. I think it's just a great symbol," said William Cohen, the former Maine senator and Secretary of Defense, who is married to a black woman.

Cohen was already a senator when he started dating Janet Langhart, a black television journalist. He proposed several times, but she feared that her race would hurt Cohen's political future. They married in 1996, a few weeks after Cohen announced he would not seek a fourth term.

"There has been that fear (of interracial marriage) on the part of politicians. I didn't have it," Cohen said.

...Yet unions of white men and black women have retained a forbidden aura, Cohen said.

"It's black and white, it's slavery and Jim Crow and the fact you can't talk about it," he said. "Black and white has been more of a taboo in the eyes of enough people to be a deterrent."


I'm glad that New York voters weren't bothered by it.

From another perspective, a black woman has a white mayor for a husband.

I like mixed race people and think it's great. It doesn't bother me if they promote it. It doesn't really matter anyway.

When talking genes and eugenics, race mixing is kinda irrelevant. Why do I make such a statement? Based on people I know, naturally! I know plenty of fair skinned, blue eyed people with a negro grandparent or with enough Native American ancestry to make it on a tribal role, thus getting a check from the tribe and other government benefits. Unless they mentioned it, you would never in a million years guess they are anything but Caucasian. So from that standpoint, it doesn't matter as much. Whatever genes are the majority will win out anyway and the further north you go, with less sunlight and vitamin D, the lighter the skin becomes through the generations anyway. The ones who are the most affected as far as offspring are concerned are the immediate generation following the interracial marriage.

Let's say someone has one parent with darker skin (could be mixed, also) and one with very fair skin. This person could have fair skin and the same eye color as the fair skinned parent (most people just assume a child from such a couple is destined to have dark brown eyes, dark skin and hair.) A set of genes from the fair skinned parent could meet up with a set of the same type from previous generations of the dark skinned parent. When you first meet such a person you think they are Caucasian, after you get to know them, you find out they have what you consider parents of different races which is a rather deceptive concept in itself.

Next you are going to hear about Caucasian guys insisting their Caucasian girlfriends get their eyes surgically altered to resemble Asians.

Well, that's a really good point.

So many Black women go on Oprah to complain about the shortage of acceptable Black men. On the low end, lots of Black men are incarcerated. On the high end, lots of economically-successful Black men are getting themselves White woman. Now, here is a Black woman who got herself a White mayor for a husband.

The story of the Black journalist who wouldn't marry the White senator because she was afraid of hurting his political career just seems so pathetic. Very magnanimous, but very pathetic.

Well, a woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do. :wink:

We make you wear high-heeled shoes so that your butts will stick out more. This is just the next step towards total patriarchal dominance. :wink:

By the by,

http://www.nationmultimedia.com/2009/05 ... 103341.php

It appears that, in the Northeast of Thailand, the majority of women would prefer to marry a White man, because of our "wealth, faithfulness and respect for women." I wonder where they get the last two from? Maybe because retirees who move to Thailand no longer have the energy.

From my experience, most Thai men are very nice and respectful (granted, I didn't experience them as a woman). Some are bad, but unlike in America, Thai women don't typically seem to have a fetish for bad boys. Not really a part of the culture.

Some people don't need help sticking their butts out so they are off the hook on heels.
