Chatting About Miscegenation

Cathy Seipp writes:

Lewis ran into Luke Ford Friday night at some University of Judaism event, where Luke was busy offending everyone with his usual opening conversational gambit -- going round the table and asking fellow guests how they feel about miscegenation.

Lewis: "I see no reason why a white woman shouldn't go out with you."


Mark writes: "I still recall talking with a black liberal woman, and she was so indignant about the thought of her daughter marrying a white guy. I think leftwing bigots are the worst of both worlds: they're into sloppy liberal ideas and politicans on one hand, and into the rigidity of over-the-top rightism (or KKK-type instincts) on the other."

Link writes: "So what is so terrible about starting a conversation on the topic of race-mixing? If the NFL can do it in primetime, then Luke can do it on his own time. Personally, I appreciate life as a full palate of colors. Mix them all together, and what's left? They must be kept separate if they are to be enjoyed, a fact not lost on the more artistically inclined amongst us."
