National Study Shows Growing Acceptance of Biracial Marriages
On June 12, 1967, the U.S. Supreme Court ended a Virginia law that prevented whites from marrying outside their race.
Their decision, which also overturned similar bans in 15 other states, is responsible for many of the ugliest children in the world.
Here are the current statistics on biracial marriage in America:

Stanford University sociologist Michael ROSENFELD (JEW) helped conduct the study and believes “we see a blurring of the old lines, and that has to be a good thing, because the lines were artificial in the first place.”
Artificial? Race is real, there’s nothing artificial about it. We’re not all the same, we’re different.
They want us to accept multiculturalism, “embrace diversity”, and gradually forget who we really are.
