I can't tell you how many times I've gotten evil looks from blacks for "taking all the good sistas". Or the snide remarks I would get from her family because I didn't "understand the black struggle". Not to mention how her father would constantly tell her how she would be better off dating a decent and strong black man. Get real man, racism is alive no matter the color. Get over it already. P.s. separation of races is not biblical, some white supremesist churches came up with the bible banning mixing of races based on color. What the bible banned was mixing of races based on faith. For Jews not to marry those who were pagans or worshiped false idols. "Christians" have often used supposed biblical meanings and man made regulations to force a belief on their own people. This kind of practice is not limited to religion only, see my story above.

As far as the gay issue goes. What about bisexuals? You can't tell me there is no choice involved when it comes to attraction. Why don't I like fat chicks or super skinny ones? Why do I like brunnettes more than blondes or red heads? Why do I not really care for breast size or how come Indian women do absolutely nothing for me? Get real man, attraction is a choice just like "love" is. Have you never had a "friends with benefits" relationship? Have you never been with a woman you felt nothing for yet stayed with cuz the sex was great? Is it not your choice that you are with the woman you are currently with instead of someone else? Or we're you "genetically" programmed to be attracted to only one type of woman or that one woman in particular?

Here is a simple fact for you. Marriage is not a right guaranteed by the constitution. How then can ones civil rights be violated if that said "right" is not guaranteed nor listed as a "civil right" any where?
Racism is always odd to me, and I'm a Southerner, but when Blacks are racist, it always seems so weird. I've heard some call that reverse racism, but truly it's simply racism.

First of all Jews only marry Jews, because it's part of Judaism. If two Jewish people of the same sex wanted to be married under Judaism, I'm sure they would be allowed, if it was allowed under law.

Marriage has lots of rights that aren't afforded to those that aren't. Tax breaks, federal loans, and etc. - I'm not sure you have a grasp on what your talking about, besides your own beliefs. If two people want to be married they should be allowed, no one should have the right to they can't. It's considered a civil right, because it's a choice for an individual, that affords them the same benefits as those who have the right. The choice of what your attracted to is a choice, but sexual orientation has been proven on a genetic level.
