But I'm sure if she had met him, considering her state of mind at the time, she probably would have thought he was a "servant" and asked him to bring her a glass of water or something. And if she'd met him while she still had her mind intact, she would have been totally disgusted. So yeah, I can definitely see your point.

The sad thing is that there are many people our age that feel that way as well. Unfortunately, some families continue to pass it down from generation to generation. Kind of like those girl singers in the other thread.

Wow, bless you for sticking to your guns in Texas! No, that pun wasn't intended! I can't believe the nerve of that woman, ugh! And that story she told, do people really believe that BS? Jeez.

There is still plenty of resistance to interracial couples. It is very sad. The last guy I dated was black and he said that he hadn't met most of the fathers of the white girls he dated. We also got some very awful looks when we went to dinner one nite, some people are just jerks.

I don't know how I would do in a red state. I have that feeling the sky is falling already, I think I would figure it was the end of the world.
