I'm with ya on that one. I'm not married, but I've dated outside of my race (even with, gasp, black girls). Doesn't really bother me.

Ya know MGMorden, that comment does not surprise me in the least. In fact it perfectly fits my expectations of you.

I'm perplexed somewhat. I don't recall seeing any black men or women on any of the gun ads on the outdoor channel either. Wonder why? I've come across black hunters only rarely in the woods, mostly older rabbit hunters. Anybody else notice this too?

There are a pair of brothers who are black, yeah real brothers not just called that cuz they are black. They have or at least used to have a hunting show on one of the outdoor type channels. I've seen several episodes of them and I have to admit it made me think they were doing it more to be paid to be in front of the camera on such a show than because they were really hunters. I could be wrong but they just didn't seem to really have a clue what they were doing other than following the script.

Nice enough guys it seemed but they sure didn't strike me as real serious or long time hunters.

OK since someone else already brought it forth, I.m going to say it now myself. What I started saying earlier.

I live near an Army post and see interracial couples all the time. Most are Black men with White women. Seldom do I see a White man with a Black woman. I also see many single White women with Black children. I regularly see White couples with one or two older Black Kids and younger white kids.

I had a very attractive young Black woman working for me at one time that only dated White men. I asked her, why? Her reply was that Black men were only looking for one thing and as soon as they got it they went looking somewhere else. "White men put me up on a pedestal, they treat me like a princess, and I like that".

Facts have converted what was thought to be imagination into reality. There is now apparently a racial bias that has entered into the add agencies. It wil b exposed to the general public shortly with factual statistics to back it up.

too many people over react to nothing.

If consumers would not react to marketing ( buy products ) then it would surely change . Money talks and BS walks every time .

Why does it matter? Skin color isn't an indicator of what's on the inside. If folks want to marry outside their race it's their business not mine.

No kidding.

But, we aren't talking about people marrying outside their race, we're talking about the media creating an unrealistic scenario in an attempt to mold people or society.

You should go back and read some of the post. There are tons of mixed couples in the area where I live.

You might try that yourself (read all the posts as they relate to the thread, not what a couple of people are talking about). The thread is about television creating an image that differs from the reality of most areas.

That's all television has ever done since it was invented.

The fact is where the majority of the population lives(those who buy things)it isn't that far off racially.

I think "Idiotic" may be an understatement of his comment.

In small towns it's tough to grasp what's going on in most of the world. My son is putting his butt on the line for his country (and you)everyday. His wife who is black is doing her best to support his military career. His half black children are missing their father everyday. Keep up the good Christian work guys.

Swamp,

No one is disparaging your son and I can't comprehend why you would even bring him and his service to our country into this discussion!

What I would refer to as in idiotic statement is the following comment you made “The fact is where the majority of the population lives(those who buy things)it isn't that far off racially”

That, is an extremely idiotic statement. And then when you follow up with comments about your son, I have to say the same thing again. Idiotic.

Focus, concentrate, stay with the subject. You are less likely to be ridiculed.

Actually, according to the US Census Bureau, blacks only make up 12.8% of the population. And as far as the interracial couple thing, it seems like more than 50% of the time you see a black man with a woman, she is white, but almost never a white man with a black woman.

Yeah, and if you look at the white chick the black guy is with, she is either fat or butt frickin ugly. Probably all she could get. Now the white guy with the black chick, shes normally looking pretty decent more times than not.

And why does every add have to have some kind of rap in it? I got tired of hearing that crap about a month after it started back in the 80's.

WEll get this . When Obama was in Phoenix a couple weeks ago, a BLACK man was carring around an AR-15 outside the venue. Apparantly he was from the libertarian party,an was just making some sort of statement. The media only showed the rifle,nd cropped out the hands and head so you could not see the race of the person. Then they looped the video, and CNN reporters made comment on how white america was racist and waiting to do Obama in. this could have easily been in the Herr Goebbels book of indoctronation.Watch the media folks. And the ratio of blacks is not 20% it is about 12% with the Hispanics overtaking them. So watch the media folks.

Amen. And it's not because it's "black music", it just sucks. Hell, I really like a lot of the 50's and 60's black music (rock n roll and R & B).

Well their brain washing works! Around here you can walk into Wal-mart and at least half the young white girls will be dragging a black baby along. It seems that in high school the in thing for girls is to be sleeping with a black dude.,
That is why they wanted our schools, they took them and it worked as planed.
