And if you do not think so, let someone's daughter bring me home and see what their parents think.
I am not trying to get into a major debate about race, but it is just like people of a certain generation are very patriotic, while people of another generation are much more likely to question our government and the system of government.
There is no question here, there are people that are not aware of the common pop culture treads and practices of people in my generation. One of the very reasons there are folks that do not understand what "PEACE" means when I use it in all my posts.
Peace

I have to agree absolutely with Rut here. I have seen it in action. My wife's father was brought up that way and he explicilty voiced his opinion about his daughters bringing home a black man. Don't get me wrong, he isn't the type to go out and burn a cross, although he doesn't live to far from where all of that started, but he does have strong opinions that my wife, her sisters, her step-mother and I don't agree with. So, it may be weeding itself out to a degree, but it isn't that far behind us either.
