[In a discussion about interracial marriage]
It is not natural.
You are meant by Nature to be around your own race.
When people race-mix it's no different than gay marriage or having sex with a plant.

If it's so evident, why did slave owners have kids with their female slaves anyway?. Why did Obama, Halle Berry and Wentworth Miller turn out ok?. Moreover, why are there hybrids in the animal world like the mule?
To whoever wrote comment 452598:
Mules are a stupid example, they're the sterile descendant of two barely-compatible species. All humans are the same species (Homo sapiens). A better question would have been, 'How come crossbreed dogs have fewer congenital defects than purebreeds?'.
Gay marriage can also be interratial and, anyway, if you don't see the difference between two people of the same sex having sex and a man and a woman of different races having sex, you have an accute problem.
What I meant is that this guy has a very narrow definition of "natural". Aparently, horses and donkeys, who can't be accounted for morality, breed but, as they're not compatible(as you explained), the offspring is not fertile. However, other cases of hybrids, such as liger or dorphin, have cases of fertile females. However, if a black man and a white woman have offsprings, those are ALWAYS fertile(see Haley Berry, for example, or Barack Obama) and same with the dogs you were talking about. What I meant is, if it's a perversion, and it's not "natural", why is it that nature, precisely, doesn't give him right but also goes further?
However Horses and Donkeys are different species.
People of different races would be, at most, different breeds (i.e. the dog example). FYI Race is French for Breed (according to the CKC).
Not saying your wrong, inter-species breeding is actually quite common in the wild. Wolves breed with Coyotes, Polar bears breed with Grizzly bears. As for breeds, deer tend to interbreed a fair amount. I know we have a lot of mule/white tail hybrids around.
Um, have you seen someone have sex with a plant? Or, have you done so yourself? If not, how can you compare?
I am sure every mixed race person on the planet would like a word with you.
Me, I'd just like to drown you.
"…interracial marriage]
It is not natural.”
At what point?
The One-Drop rule has made it so that quite a few people who are legally ‘black’ are pretty light-skinned. If you weren’t told they were black, they could pass.
My son, at work the other day, was singing the lyrics to a rap song and dropped the N-bomb. A coworker warned him about that. He looked at her. “You know I’m black, right?” She apologized profusely.
Anyway, if it’s unnatural to sleep with a full-on, every ancestor from Africa, black woman, how many generations of miscegenation, and subsequent lightening, does it take before their offspring would be ‘natural’ to sleep with?
Seriously, if you cannot tell my kids are black without seeing their family tree, is it then natural? Or is there some magical sense that white people have that detects up to one ancestor out of a hundred?
“You are meant by Nature to be around your own race.”
Then how do i get a hard-on for my wife, but not my coworkers?
“When people race-mix it's no different than gay marriage or having sex with a plant.”
The gays i know don’t turn me on.
The plants i own don’t turn me on.
Nature has programmed me to find my wife appropriate as a partner. I think you’re talking out your ass on what ‘nature’ intends.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
