What you fail to realize and accept is that there are a lot of people who just don’t buy into all that nonsense.  

Here is what you should be considering .  

41% of liberals agree with me on this issue

83% of conservatives agree with me on this issue.  

That’s a big chunk and one that should be recognized and at least respected while we discuss and most likely agree to disagree at the end.   It’s just not hate speech.... it’s a difference of political opinion.... which is wonderful.

Quote:In U.S., 87% Approve of Black-White Marriage, vs. 4% in 1958
by Frank Newport

Ninety-six percent of blacks, 84% of whites approve

PRINCETON, NJ -- Continuing to represent one of the largest shifts of public opinion in Gallup history, 87% of Americans now favor marriage between blacks and whites, up from 4% in 1958.


These data are from Gallup's Minority Rights and Relations poll, conducted June 13-July 5. The poll surveyed 4,373 Americans, including 1,010 non-Hispanic blacks.

Approval of marriages between blacks and whites is up one percentage point from 2011, when this attitude was last measured. Approval has generally increased in a linear fashion from Gallup's first measure in 1958, reaching the majority threshold in 1997, and crossing the three-quarters line in 2004. Eleven percent of Americans today say they disapprove of black-white marriage, compared with 94% who disapproved in 1958.


Blacks' approval of black-white marriage (96%) is now nearly universal, while whites' approval is 12 percentage points lower, at 84%. Blacks' approval has consistently been higher than whites' over the decades, although attitudes among both racial groups have generally moved in a parallel manner since 1968 -- when Gallup first was able to report reliable estimates of each group's opinion. The gap between black approval and white approval in recent years has been smaller than it was prior to 1997.
