This is the other aspect, not touched on yesterday… an even deeper discussion awaits….

Being privileged with many heritages and gifts, I have felt that it is the “best of both worlds” or, in my case, “best of a few worlds”…==Some people do seem to appreciate that the glass really is half full, that one who is multi-racial can be well rounded, culturally, societally, etc…. I’ve heard some, though, who assume that one would be confused… as if you’d have to choose one thing or the other… if that was the case, though… we’d ALL have to do some choosing, in one way or another… we all should be able to identify ourselves, not have another to do so…that would be the essence of true liberty….==But the focus should really be on who you are, NOT what you are… as someone mentioned yesterday, we are human……

And that was an Art Linkletter moment, if there ever was….

Jasmine Glover seems to be a child wise beyond her years. All naysayers of the Cheerios commercial with the interracial family take note.

The purpose of a commercial is to make you buy a product – not be a representation of reality. People really need to remember that. Also can’t see how she can “relate” to those rich people :)

multi is betteryou can love everybodyor hate everybodyor not worry about it

I’d put Halle first in that list too.

Actually, I’m all for mono-racial … the human race!

You right, GhostONE race on this planet…

This is great so far!

That was great, not alot of pure blood people out there. We are all mutts.

She forgot Miami Heat basketball star Shane Battier.

She left out Shemar Moore (drool!).

At some point in the future, we will be considered “prejudiced” if we “notice” that the hungry lion is not the same as us. Until it eats us. Racism/Agism/Sexism has given prejudice a bad name. It is a survival trait to be aware of not fitting in in your surroundings.

Back in my day, it was called “hybrid vigor”, the larger the gene pool, the better.

The BBC showed a movie a long time ago called “The Lathe of Heaven”. I haven’t seen it since, but it really made a point on ;‘be careful what you wish for’. ….. the last thing the protagonist of the movie ‘willed as Heaven’s lathe’ was for there to be no racial/gender prejudices and that everyone would get along. He awoke to find everyone a wonderful dull shade of grey and there was no male/female genders..

It’s not a question unless you bring it up.
