Why can't black people exercize the option that other groups have been exercizing for years. Italians, Jews, Irish, Germans at some point have intermarried. It was never as taboo for them to intermarry as it was (is) for us, but when these enclave immigrants intermarried, it raised eyebrows. Yet, after in this country three, four or five generations, an Itialian can marry a Jew or a German can marry a Pole and nobody raises an eyebrow.

Is anyone saying Phil Gramm sold out cuz he married a Korean-American. Is Jeb Bush not "down" cuz his wife is HIspanic?

Third and fourth generation Asain and Hispanics are more likely to intermarry than they are to marry someone from the same racial/ethnic group. Jews (unless they are Orthrodox) have the lowest rate of intramarriage.
