um…huh??

young family

In response to this news story—which I personally find even more unbelievable than the instant wonder “balloon boy” that made its way around the media outlets today—I have to scratch my head and wonder what the heck this guy is thinking.

My mom and dad came from two very different backgrounds and made me, and I think I turned out just fine. Look at all the interracial babies who have grown up to be beautiful, productive members of society, from Halle Berry to Barack Obama. This Louisiana justice must be smoking crack, first to deny the couple a marriage license and then to actually make such ludicrous statements.

This is my favorite photo ever. I think I’ve posted it here before. But it deserves a repost tonight.

To say that couple would not last is just perpetuating a negative stereotype based on overblown statistics that have suddenly been posed as "the rule". I have a very close friend whose mother is German and father is African American. They've been married nearly 35 years... and still together... Again, love the photo... very classic ;)
