Is black and white so hypnotic?

Posted by Ria, 10 Mar

In the United States, just 1% of white marriages and 5% of black marriages are interracial. The most common of interracial marriages is between Asian women and white men. So why are there more articles on black/white marriages as opposed to the more common Asian-white marriages? Even with these statistics in our hands, when a study is done on interracial anything, it somehow tends to veer towards black and white.

For instance, in analyzing the plight of mixed race adolescents, some study used data from the National Survey of Adolescent Health (Add Health), which surveys over 90,000 individuals who were in grades 7-12 in the 1994-95 school year. HOWEVER, "304 black-white mixed children" were interviewed. And the whole thing went on to be about black and white completely ignoring the children of Latino-Black, Asian-White and other interracial pairings. And when talking about mixed race individuals racial identity dilemma, we make reference to black-white.

Steve Jones - Professor of Genetics at University College London - argued last year that we will soon observe the complete obliteration of the races: “We are mixing into a global mass, and the future is brown.” Global mass? Brown? He just couldn’t avoid making it a black and white issue now could he? (Or is it I that can't help but assume that by saying brown, he was making reference to black and white?)

I must admit we interracial bloggers can’t be left out of this one. We kind of behave like any mixed race relationship other than black/white, don’t qualify as interracial. I mean, look at my blog posts. More than 75% of the ones on mixed-race relationships are centered on black and white relationships. And the ones that get the most responses are those on black and white issues.

The other day I stumbled across this on Other Brothers blog:

“… this will be pretty much about white and black people. I know other races date but for some reason minorities dating other minorities doesn’t have the same stigma. So we’ll go with what moves people.”

We focus so much on black and white relationships and issues in general and forget that when it comes to racial issues, other ethnicities have also played a role in making the world what it is today. (And here I am still doing the same thing ... blogging "black and white" again. No matter how I twist the topic, I still end up there).

Is black and white so hypnotic that we just can’t help but be drawn to black-white issues? If you agree with Other Brothers above, does this mean that we should ignore other interracial relationships and issues just because black and white 'moves' people?

    sorry homesteader. i didnt realize i had to be a leagal secretary to make my comments. But it kind of shows that you have anger issues when you comment like you do and you have to say it so many times over.If you wanted scripture then we would just get into debate and that goes nowhere.From what i understand of Mormon they do not believe that Jesus is the only way to the Father and that he was just a good man, if that is true than how can you say he is a good man when he himself said He came from the father and said to the Pharisees that when he answered their question weather he was the son of God, and he said I am.That good man than would be a liar and no liar will be in the Kingdom of God. See when a child is conceived the child gets the blood from the father thats what makes Jesus the son of God and equall with God for the Holy Spirit over shadowed Mary and conceived a child. He has God the Fathers blood in him that is why by His blood we are healed and saved as is Acts 2:38 repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin (remission means removal) and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. It sounds like you are hurt and that is why you are on this black and white topic, but God dont see black and white all He sees is his love for His creation and set a road for them to get back to Him by using his son Jesus.You know what is really great about the name of Jesus, that the Fathers name is Jesus the Holy Spirit's name is Jesus and Jesus name is Jesus.John 14:26,John5:43, thats why Jesus name is so awsome in Matthew 28:19 when it says name refering to one name singular not names plural,and in acts 2:21 name there is singular meaning one name,and to sum it all up Phillippians 2:10-11. I left it for you to look it up. People who do read these comments I hope if you say that when you beleive in something you check out the evidence instead of just listing to what peopel say, the fact is we wouldnt even no there was a god if it wasnt for the Holy Bible.So check out all the sources if your struggling with what truth is.If you seek you will find and knock and the door will be opened.homesteader im sure your a great guy and commpasionate about the things you believe in but its also ok to let people speak without getting verbal bashing for their comments. Your right im not the best speller but i hope i did better this time. As im sure you will have the last comment. God bless and take care. Chap07

    chap07 : Change has occured as far as My wife and I . Between our conversations , it Looks to me as Another change is Taking Place . This Being in contradiction to your thoughts and more inline with My previous use of Scripture , Believe . As you have Stated Totally Nothing in your written words here , with the Exception of Poorly spelled Personal opinions .

    I washed the dinner dishes today and you didn't see that . Don't Run your mouth telling me what I do not see . As your ignorance is showing . We Know the Truth / Please do not Talk to me of what you do not see . Thank you . ALMA 12/4 And thou seest that we know that thy plan was a very "subtle plan . as to the subtlety of the Devil, for to lie and to deceive this people that thou mightest set them against us , to revile us and to cast us out . This is Taken from Gods' word in The Book of MORMON / Another Testament of Jesus Christ .

    We came here to marry / We were sucessful . I do not really , need any laymans' simple doctorine . Of the word of God , Our grass still needs cutting and I will be more than Happy to walk beside you as you tell me Scripture . Alas you cannot even spell properly , I do not imagine that you could fully tell me the complete writen word / without reading it to me from the Book - And I am able to Read myself . I asked if you had read ; Ruth and you could not Respond . When you can show me what Jesus - himself wrote , not men who say they heard . I have walked with God for over 60 years and you cannot even spell at an elementary level , go get a job . Until you are able to Quote Chapter Line and Verse by memory , Please do not Bother Us with Half Truths . I can readily see that you are not capable of understanding in order to Teach / You must have more knowledge than your Student / With the Limited Knowledge You Show Us . Get a Job Grow -up , we already have enough people with Tincups on Our street corners .

    who Jesus said He was, Not who they said he was , forgive me for the typing error. I dont understand how people can say they believe in God without using the scripyure to back up what they talk about. that is why eveything about balck and white is in vain because God made all things so dont you think he will take care of it,but we say we beleive but there is no evidence we believe so people go on talkiing about things that will never change until God sets up his kingdom. Its amazing isnt it that people think that the word of God was wroten by man thousands of years ago but its being fullfilled right before your very eyes and you cant see it because when you read you dont ask God to show you truth.Simple

    the problem with people is if the have to admit that Jesus is who they said he was then people would have to repent. there is so much evidence through the prophecy of Gods word that prove Who Jesus was.that its amazing that people are blind. But that again just proves the word of God that people are blind to the truth. Jesus said the truth will set you free.when you actuallt go through church history you will find that the Holy bible is the only writings that were inspired By the Holy Spirit. Everything else is by man and that is why man cant figure anything out about how to solve whAT IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD TODAY. But Gods word has the answer and Jesus will set up his Kingdom.Hey you dont have to give yoyr heart to the Lord He isnt forcing you but you will find out one day you should have then that day will be to late. your a sinner believe it or not and Jesus is your only way back.

    " What Me Worry ? " God has allowed me many Pleasures also . I looked out on Our doorstep and there was no book of Revelation in sight this morning . The weather is balmy , warm and partly sunny . Of course / my day stared at 4:00 A.M. , WHEN YOU FINIALLY AWAKE - You read the word as We have many other things to do this day besides re-reading the same Book that We have read for Years . Life has abundant time and Plentiful chores to do ; it is also a sin to Waste time just repeating sitting in a corner reading a book . Get out and make a difference in the World of Today . God in his Grace , has taught me to do Many things . If you gather time later , our lawnmower is broken and the Grass needs cutting / I will walk beside you and listen to what you know of the word as long as I do not have to turn the Pages for You .

    A Christian is given the job to go spread the word of Life , alas Life has taken on many Chapters since the original Book was written . Would God want us to forget all he has done for his own Pleasure in our days of Life ? God has shown me how he has given forth Freedoms to many others - who really were always equal in God's mind as the Devil in people caused all this pain for so many thousands of years . / God works in many ways - Be it slowly as he has so much more to do . Alas the writting of the Book will require scholars of our time . to resume the Teachings of Ages . Amen

    chap07 , God inspired me this morning to add a revised Chapter to the book that has sit dormant for many years . Joseph Smith ; wrote The Book of Mormon abridgment of the record of the people of Nephi, and also of the Lamanites . Have you read that ? It is a revised edition written at a Later date / As God gave us all the Knowledge to use to spread the word of Life as we see it unfolding before us . Life my friend did not stop when the early written Bible verses did .

    The Bible itself was written over 2,000 years ago . By men who never knew of Mass communication . It would be in my eyes , the History of a Few at the Beginning of Time . Please allow me to tell the beginning of time as I see it . Thank you . Chapter 1 verse 1 ; Stanley and Ruth begot , John and his 16 sisters and brothers . He Married Betty / who was begotten from Carrie and Leslie , who had one other son and 4 daughters . verse 2 ; The joining of John and Betty by legal marriage brought forth Leslie and David . verse 3 ; David being barren of children went into the service of his country / to spend 5 years committed to the Safety of the children of the United States of America , working with the United States Air Force and it's Proud brothers and sisters from many walks of life . verse 4 ; Leslie being Declared Dead at the scene of an auto accident at an early age / went on to marry Donna who was begotten from the joining in marriage of Albert and Freida , who also begot Susan . verse 5 ; Leslie and Donna begot Janet who begot Erik ....to be continued ... chapo7... is this not the start of a new chapter / in similiar form as to how the Bible is written ?

    God made the Devil to cover his faults and Jesus Christ for Salvation for our faults . Reality in Life is the people who go to Church on Sunday to pray for Salvation and Sunday evening they are out stealing from others . These are FACTS OF LIFE / as God has given me the chance to see in person . The Bible States to follow in Jesus path - not to harm others all your life and at the End say Jesus save me . Jesus is the word and the way to Salvation / Not the crutch for evil acts many commit daily . Revelation is only one book of the Bible . Have you read Ruth ?

    God made all things for His own pleasure, why you are all worrying about this topic Gods word of salvation through His Son Jesus is bringing true change in a persons heart.God is no respector of erson. Its time to open your eyes and see that the book of Revelation is on your door step and the world is soon to come to a one world government and all your freedomes will be gone.Who so ever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Weather you die today or tomorrow if you havent given your heart to the Lord all your opinions are in vain.Jesus said He was the truth the way and the Life no one comes to the Father but by Him.Time to read the Word.

    This is 2009 not 1862 and I never did trust people with short hair as I grow mine to make a wig for " Locks of Love " and cancer patients who cannot grow their own . Doctors will not allow me to drive a Big truck anymore , but my hair will still grow . So I feel that I still have a Purpose in Life . Get over History and look forward to tommorrow .

You are talking History - as I think the Law enforcement people in the United States of America have pretty much gotten those problems under control by now . If you see one of these groups / Report them to the Proper Athorities . Everyday of your life you shall meet people of lesser intelligence .

    Homesteader, do the terms "skinhead", "KKK", and "Supremacist" ring a bell? Those are examples of people who consider all "white" people (of any heritage) superior to all "black" people (of any heritage). The history of this nation rife with examples and results of this type of thinking. The whole of slavery was built upon this premise. Again, I'm careful to note that not all "white" Americans feel this way, but there are those who STILL FEEL and ACT THIS WAY. Even today.

    After re-reading , I came across a Question ; Who is it that considers Caucasian Superior to anyone ? Many jobs I have had in my lifetime / I worked seven days a week because of Necessity . Even tractor-trailer cross-country was seven days on and one off due to Federal Regulations on Logbooks . Many men / women of many colors Drove Trucks for a living and We all shared tables in Truckstops to Eat and B.S. TOGETHER [ How fast them trucks will go Hehe ] . That Manure shovel - that I cleaned gutters on a Dairy farm as a teenager before the school bus stopped to take me to school every morning - probably would have fit anyones hand same as mine . And many Student's Clothes in my High School classes smelled the same Barn Smell as Mine while We attended classes . As I was raised in farm country and Holstein cows are all Black and White .

    biggee , I do however Believe that a lot of Problems in Life are of ones own Making , God gave us all freedom of choice in our own Minds . How we react to others will Determine how they act toward us . For every action there is an equal and opposite Re-action . I once read .

    I have lived a life of travel for hire , " thug " would be a slang word . That I know not its idea . The people , I have met who act with Total Disregard for others property and Rights are that of my own Race and color . Believe , I tried everything possible to solve the problems they caused by stealing Priceless Collectables / Antiques ; That were left to me by Grandparents and Parents after their deaths . These people continued to Threaten , Harrass , Terriorize and Vandalize Me for Years because I lived alone . Have you ever came home after grocery shopping and Found the word " FIRE " written across your front door inside a Locked Gate ? I feel no degree of Insult for my thoughts , as I speak of things that Actually Happened to Myself . To Make my statements Clear ; If a man insults a woman in any way in the Public Forum - I feel this is Wrong .

    Homesteader - I don't know if your posts right after my initial comment are directed toward me, but if they are, please know that I only refer to "white men/black men" and the like in keeping with the condition I describe in my comment. Like it or not, that IS the status quo in America. My comments don't MAKE it that way, they just point it out. I don't believe in categorizing people by color (I'm in a biCULTURAL marriage myself); I prescribe to people being evaluated by the content of their character. I like to say that "bad" apples come in all colors, shapes and sizes, so I would not intentionally level a "racist" comment against anyone. But, I have to be able to call out what I see, and sought to do it in the least wordy way that I could; that way was to use the terms associated with the very condition I was describing/speaking out against. If you were insulted by something I wrote, I think it says more about you than it does about me. For instance, if someone describes a thug as a black male, I don't automatically get offended since there are other qualifiers that go into the equation of "thug" that don't apply to me. I don't focus solely on skin color; it appears that you did. If my perception of your response is off, I'm open for you to clarify for me.

    In fact ; First day of Deer season this past year , I was cleaning weeds along outside of Fenceline with Holster on hip - in case of snakes . Game Warden drove up and asked if I had been shooting , then asked to see my pistol . He saw that it had not been discharged alas he said it needed cleaning which he did as We talked . He suggested a shotgun at that time for improved Accuracy . Hehe . I met a New Friend that day , as We both Smiled . If one can cause another to Smile / it is a Good day . People by now should realize the difference in a Date Ting sight is not the color of a person / it is the Way that they ask Nicely . " Madam , May I have the Pleasure of your Company for this next Dance ."

    Once a Man becomes Disabled , the Punks terriorists Vandels and Thieves are soon enough Found out bye Name . When I physically unloaded Freight trucks everyday , they Enjoyed the Fact that I only Slapped a person once to get their attension . When they would stand back up they would leave Peacefully . A True Coward is one who Preys on others , because he knows the limits of the Law . The good lord God said " Thou Shall not Kill " . On the other hand if you take their mobility , someone else will have to unload their wheelchair outside the Fence before they Crawl through your windows to steal .

    The shotgun is meant for solving necessary problems inside the fence . We do not watch television , as it is either Bad news or commercials . I would imagine if the United States Attorney General were to need my Assistance that they would call before arrival . As the climbing over Our fence at night to steal garden tools probably is not his way of Life .

    party1 : Your comment states a nation of cowards , I do not watch television , nor do I care to know the people who run our government . I do know that inside Our fenceline is Private Domain . Many people have illegally enter our home in the past before we met and stole from me . Sheriff told me to get a No Trespassing sign and a camera . Meanwhile with no available transportation . I made handmade signs which are Legal . Sheriffs Deputies would not even cross before I invited them inside gate . My neighbors security camera was stoled years ago , so to spend money foolishly to install camera is not an option . If someone wants to visit us , there is also a sign at the Locked Gate to call for Appt. Thieves are my Largest Hatred , alas I made the Mistake of Sheltering them during the Hurricane in 2005 . Once I had invited them in / Sheriff said they could do nothing to help me as it was their word against mine . Times change as I got married and now have a witness .

    party1 ; To cross my fenceline sign says Call for Appt. Sorry I do not watch television / have no idea who Willie is and you live in Texas so you must know that Homesteaders with a locked Gate have the right to protect property with deadly force if Necessary .

    Key phrases : I know not of this Willie Holder / Inside Our fenceline and with descression for the rights of others . Hehe . Sheriff Deputies came out saw my handmade No Trespassing signs and would not enter themselves . Texas has strict laws for Homesteaders to protect Private property .
