lol. Good question!!!!

I don't think I've ever heard my parents DIRECTLY say "If you bring home a White person I'll disown you". However I've always assumed that they would be less than pleased (than hmmmm let's say another Black person) because growing up I was very use to them saying less than flattering things about White people. Of course they use to say really horrible things about other AA people as well, but those negative comments were normally directly SOLEY at the person or how stupid some other AA people thought. But when they talked about White people it was EVERYBODY.......

When my children are of dating age, I *THINK* my feelings will be the same and I will encourage them to marry other "well off" Afro-American people. I notice when people marry others of other cultures, backgrounds and races they always have to worry about how their child perceives them! Will the child be proud of their culture or be embarrassed? Will the child feel more comfortable with their partners' identity than theirs, etc, etc.
