Where am I backpeddling? I think I have said numerous times that I believe what I believe - he picked about the whitest looking chick I have ever seen in my life to marry and I think it says that he wants his children as white as possible and that he has internalized racism and his choice is reflective of his self-hatred.
I could careless if someone is in a biracial relationship and is insulted by this. If a black man only dates white women and picks a really, really, really white chick to marry, there is a problem there. That is my opinion. If you are insulted by it, too bad for you. You need to get over me and get on with your life. I know I will.
Your analogy about the black woman marrying the white man isn't analogous. It can never be analogous since whites weren't the subject of racism in the US and therefore, cannot internalize the racism and self-hate because of the racism. The phenomena of blacks internalizing racism and self-hating has been around for a long time. Ever hear of passing for white? Ever hear of the term Quadroon and about the balls in New Orleans where the lighter skin blacks debuted their children for them to meet the children of other light skin blacks so that their children would marry other light skin blacks? Ever hear the term high yellow? Ever hear about lighter skin blacks being more prized as mates in the black community? If not, that explains your ridiculous analogy.
There is no such equivalent in whites since they weren't the subject of racism. So your analogy doesn't fit this situation at all.
