There is no such thing as a pure race. Like it or not, we're all interracial. Happened long before any of us were born.

That is the stupidest shit I've ever heard. Why didn't Reginald Denny just explain this while getting his head smashed in with a brick?
But John Baker, the Oxford lecturer, put it better:
"The fact of blue-green does not negate the existence of either blue or green."
Ah, those Brits.
Personally, I've never seen a marriage between a black man and a white woman last. However, I know several white men who have been married to black women for years. Anybody got any statistics on this? I can only find interracial marriage statistics, but nothing more specific.
First marriages in which the husband and wife are both members of the same race/ethnicity are more likely to succeed than those in which the spouses are of different race/ethnicity. After 10 years of marriage, interracial marriages have a 41% chance of disruption and same-race marriages have a 31% chance of disruption. The number of specific comparisons that can be made is limited because of small sample sizes. While specific pairings such as white/black or black/Asian are not shown, ... White/any other couples [which I believe include white-Hispanic as well as white-Asian] have similar chances of marital disruption [40%] as all different race couples [41%], which is not surprising as the majority of different race couples are white/any other pairings. Black/any other couples appear to have chances of marital disruption [48%] similar to those for all black couples [47%].
For first marriages between husbands and wives of the same race/ethnicity, the "disruption" (divorce or separation) rates at 10 years are Asians 20%, non-Hispanic whites 32%, Hispanics 34%, and blacks 47%. Lots of negative demographic factors correlate with higher divorce rates, so it's likely that the Hispanic "propensity to divorce" is less than the white propensity, all else being equal. Somebody should do a regression study of the demographic characteristics of interracial couples and see how their underlying propensity to divorce compares to same race couples.

Human variation, not biological race, exists. Science supports the reality of phenotypic and genetic variation across human populations, the labeling of these people as "races" is subjective and arbitrary.
IF there is a "pure" race, then it would be some as yet undiscovered isolated little island out in the middle of the ocean somewhere. In fact, I think there was one such place that was featured as a human interest story in the aftermath of the tsunami a couple of years ago. The natives threw spears at a news crew helicopter that was covering the story.
Seems that you may have an oversimplified definition of race. I'm looking at it in its purest form, and no one, absolutely no one who is posting on this board, including you, is 100% anything.

Exactly my point.
Not too long ago, parents obsessed over whether or not their kids would marry within their own cultural groups. It seemed to make a big deal if someone of Italian descent, for instance, married someone of Greek descent. Nowadays, it's hardly a point worth mentioning.
Seems that we will always find something to bicker about that distinguishes one from the other.

So it follows that nobody is anything, right?
I think looking at something in its "purest form" is a pretty useless application for human relations and politics. Race is a perfectly sturdy classification along these lines, and it's proven far more durable than national boundaries or ideologies. The Soviet Union falls, and guess how people revert? To their ethnic groups! Racial and ethnic groups are like oil and water: you only keep them integrated through vigorous shaking. Let nature take its course, and they separate.
It also just defies common sense to running around saying things like "race does not exist." The fuck it doesn't. People who live in the real world have no trouble with the concept of race. It's right there in front of your face. Big Brother has trained you well not to see it.
The denial of race today is kind of like communism once was: a politcally-motivated attempt to deny human reality. Communists set up an ideal that didn't work because human beings just don't operate as imagined or desired by those engineers. Race denial will fall, too.
I think what joins people together are common ideas and beliefs which extend beyond just the color of their skin which is more cultural, political and religious than it is racial.
Do some research into your family background. You'll find you're not so racially pure as you appear to portray yourself.

Would a majority of whites voting for McCain and 97 percent of blacks voting for Obama be proof of this?

I don't know what "pure" has to do with it. Would you ever try announcing to Jesse Jackson that he should just pack it in because there might be a white person in his background? You would not.
There are any number of proofs for me being white, whatever a DNA test might show. It is therefore logical for me to advocate politically based on that.
Barack Obama is only half-black, but politically, he's 100 percent black. Read his book. He's based his entire life on this. And the results have been pretty good, eh?

I ask all white women in America, not to be seduced into interracial unions with
men from outside their race. You are the mothers for the White race. Don't be brainwashed into thinking that you can love someone from outside the White race, who is responsible for you not being able to find suitable white male to marry. You white women must realize, that the American society, since the days of slavery, is designed to separate the white man from the white woman.

Some people simply have no concept of a human race. Every time I see a mixed couple running around, with that What in the hell am I doing? look on their faces, then my first thought is that somebody was not running fast enough . . .

I took a nap earlier and had this dream, in which, I swear, I was screaming at the two of you:
"You SAD SAD disgusting little toads! Please, spare us the plague of your pathetic existence and go SHOOT what's left of your pea-sized brains out - or cut the freaking spinal cord if that's all you have left! You're taking up the oxygen! You are an embarrassment to the human race!"
Dude, no idea where that came from... uff... Glad to be awake!
