I had a woman tell me that her mother wasn't actually racist. It's just that she was worried about what OTHERS would think about her daughter going out with a Black man, and that she wanted to protect her from abuse. Children abuse children. I wouldn't condemn my worst enemy to reliving the abuses of childhood. But if you raise your kids to be decent, respectable and strong people, they will be able to handle what comes their way, be it racially motivated or not. I think that shying away from things like having children with a snother is giving in to racism. Should this be on net.society.civilrights.flame? -- Mark A. ...uw-beaver!ssc-vax!adolph
