Sneaky bastards. This just a few years after their last attempt to hide their shameful bigotries by cynically voting a black man into office.
But you can’t fool the left. They know who you all are. And the fact is, if you don’t vote Obama a second term, or if you pretend to disapprove of his policies, it’s because you are all a bunch of backsliding quasi-Klansmen who, given the rope, the tree, and a wink from the corrupt, tobacco-chewing sheriff of your small backwoods town, would happily string blacks up in trees.
I hope you’re proud of yourselves.
Truth is, I don’t know how you even look at yourselves in the mirror.
You disgust me.
I’m ok with black/white intermarriage. It’s the liberal/conservative mix that I simply don’t see as workable.
that’s very sad about that spartacus guy
Uhhh, you are aware, I hope, that some people won’t see this as sarcasm in the least.
Eh. I don’t know who he was. I’m sadder for a friend of mine who had recently married and had a new baby. Then died of cancer at the young age of 42. He was the nicest guy and I can still hear his laugh. Late 30’s early 40s are bad for teh Cancer. My hs 25th reunion is in a few months, and it appears there has been a run of recent cancer deaths.
Carin, I’ve managed to stay married to a Democrat — who even voted for TehWon — for 32 years, 3 months and 23 days.
cancer is just so wrong
Haven’t we gotten to the point where it would be a more expeditious affair to list the things which are not racist rather than those that are?
If my response to the statement, “Pasty-faced Annika is getting married to dark-as-a-coalmine Fred” is “yeah, so?”, does that fit in the “Approve” category? Because it’s not that I “approve” so much as it doesn’t particularly matter to me.
Navin, I’d love you if you was the color of a baboon’s ass.
All of which is funny since the deep-thinkers who spoke to the NYT on background about their concerns over the possibility that BO isn’t remotely likely to see a second term are assuredly whiter than the BYU basketball team circa 1965.
[…] Racist Americans lie to pollsters, pretend to approve of interracial marriage to hide their shame […]

*shakes head disapprovingly*
It’s just not NATURAL.

What, the entire sinistrosphere?

1. Being on the Left.
Yup, you were right! Easy peasy!
“sinistrosphere”
heh!
There are two different ways that there can be a black/white intermarriage. I strongly suspect that when the question is asked only one of them comes to mind for the respondents. The poll needs to be run asking about each type as a question that changes back and forth so as to see what the feeling/thinking is in each case. Might be eye opening.
Time travel?
Relativity. They got married in 1996; it just seems like 32 years.
At least, if Dana’s house is anything like mine…
I just interpreted that as she has been married to someone who voted for Teh Won over 32 years ago. Which presents certain difficulties, I think.
Yes, yes it would. Which is why it’s never gonna happen.
Not relativity, though she does have a lot of relatives. But she’s pretty, still a size 6, and we just don’t discuss politics. There really are other things to do with a wife, you know.
If interracial marriage is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
Inter-species marriage is still wrong though…
I had to hide my bigotry against the Other by fighting alongside and under the command of, persons of color…and fight to protect the Other/brown persons of non-Christian status to boot.
I must be one awesome bigot, underneath.
I don’t talk politics with my wife – but I think she voted for O! This time around, I suspect she will not.
LBascom, you are a dirty dirty hater what hates and is judgey. Marriages are for all God’s creatures even teh ghey ones.
And here the archeological anthropologists are beginning to tell us we are the happy result of interspecies breeding. Oops.
I don’t know from archeological anthropologists, but I heard that Catherine the Great chick was wild!

And without inter-species marriage, between Sarek and Amanda Grayson, we’d never have had Mr Spock, and thus no Star Trek!
Crud, Dana beat me to the Star Trek riff…nicely played.
According to Mr. Locke, we’re all of the Kree.
I mean, you never saw Kirk trying to ball a Tribble did you?
There was a Star Trek where it was shown that all the beings (Humans, Klingon, Romulan etc.) were descended from one race. Can’t remember if it was in a movie or just an episode as it has been too long since I watched it.
In Temporary Duty Ric had “the beings” as you put it, categorized by 5 or 6 criteria if I remember right. Basic physical configuration, basic method of sexual reproduction, like that. There was one alien species that reproduced by laying eggs, so they weren’t of the Kree.
Pretty creative fellow, that Ric Locke dude….
#29 – it was an episode of STTNG. Kind of weak at the end. I always thought all the Star Trek races looked alike because of small budgets in the 1960s show…what?
LTC John, this is the same kind of inability to write that doomed Star Wars in Phantom Menace. There are things that no one needs explained, like where the Force comes from, and when the writer attempts it, they almost always screw up that “willing suspension of disbelief” thing.
