    My mom and dad were born in 1903-1905, and in the time they were growing up, it was pretty much unthinkable for mixed races to marry, and even the returning soldiers from the war who brought home brides from overseas were not totally accepted for a long time.
    My folks were not racist in any way, and thought one race was a good as any other , but they thought that they were not supposed to intermarry with each other.
    In fact, I thought I had to marry some one with light colored hair and blue eyes, because that was the accepted color for someone with my mostly English/German background.

    I remember when Sammy Davis Jr. married Mia Farrow, and it was huge news and totally shocking for that time period. It did start to open the door for mixed race marriages though, and I think that was a good thing.

    I think that race would not be a determining factor if I loved someone and we wanted to be married; other qualifications would be much more important.

    Bobby---I don't believe I ever stated my opinion in any of my posts.

    Mia Farrow was never married to Sammy Davis, Jr. She married Frank Sinatra and then Andre Previn, and lived with Woody Allen though they never married.

    @Beth Gallagher, introducing facts into a conversation is unfair.

    Shows you how much I know about movie stars !
    You are right, I looked it up, and it was May Britt that married Sammy Davis. Anyway, same results, blue eyed blonde married to an African-American, and it made history back at the time.

    I was giving you a compliment and also having a bit of fun but since you wish to get serious, the very first post you wrote has a very distinct opinion and it happens to be yours.

    Let’s see, post 33 is also your opinion and if you wish me to go even further I shall.

    I think Sammy Davis Jr. dated Mia Farrow, though.

    Sammy Davis Jr. was never married to Mia Farrow, Yvonne. He did marry May Britt and yes it created a hulabaloo in the press and elsewhere.

    Actually, this is "none of my business" quote most controversial things/people want to hear. That way they can do what they want to.

    It is between the 2 consenting adults involved and not another person should have a say in it.

    More power to all humans who marry and are happy.
