I couldn't love them more..

its not about being against biracial people, most black people in the US are already multiracial to begin with.

The point is about choosing what we value as a people & what's important to ourselves, our families & our communities. I know first hand the difference btwn "biracial" children raised by black moms & those raised by white moms. I also know that a mixed marriage doesn't mean that the married are less racists or don't have issues with blackness.

In the end, the question remains, if you value your blackness, your heritage & your culture why wouldn't you choose to be with someone who brings those same qualities to the table? If I believe in Islam, it makes no sense for me to marry a Christian.
