I haven't said anything about Islam that I haven't personally witnessed.

I'm married to an immigrant. It's an immigration site. Suits my needs fine. Wrong place to walk into and start throwing around accusations of racism though.

And when we talk about race, we're talking about personal experience that we've lived. Same thing.

Not to mention, this part of the forum is about Current Events and Hot Social Topics, not immigration. Last I checked, racism is a hot social topic. If you want to talk about immigration, there's sub forums for that.

Fixed. Yes, that's the idea. Dunno about anyone else but I've about had enough of it.

you can block people right? then you won't see what you don't want to see. just sayin' from my pov, i've been reading bs about marv and janelle only posting about race for what - two years now? maybe more. and that's what i've had just about enough of. this is a current events and hot topics forum so, i wouldn't expect talk of race to go away anytime soon.

Is pointing out renouncing your faith in Saudi Arabia being a death sentence degrading Islam?

No, but when you compare Islam to Nazis, I think there's an issue. Or that you won't vote for a Muslim American based on that person's faith. Or how you can't be a Muslim and care about LGBT rights.

Last I checked, racism is not really rampant in a large network of interracial families.

So maybe the less diverse families who believe that this is a great issue should find a less diverse site to discuss it and wherever cyberspace takes them, I hope they find peace.

You'll have to go get and fetch that Nazi thing. Please post it with my personal permission to take what I said and when I said that from one thread and put it in this one. Otherwise, I am deeply offended that as earlier, you are attributing something I did not say to me and that is most definitely interfering with my enjoyment of this site.

Is pointing out the LGBT couples in the Mideast are sentenced to get thrown from tall buildings degrading Islam?

I would also suggest people married to Muslims, living in a muslim country, promoting anti-Muslim rhetoric to find a more hateful site. Being that this site is supposed to be family friendly and promoting togetherness of races from different backgrounds.

By the way, I have one full blooded native American great grandmother and one half native American great grandmother. Glad my family is diverse. Whew

I have white cousins as well as children who are bi racial, looks like diversity isn't an issue in our family.

What are you offended about? I didn't say you posted those things. I pointed out how the conversation goes when we're discussing Islam. No where did I say you said that, another poster did. As far as the LGBT comment, there are many Muslims that support them here, which is what we were talking about, Muslim Americans, not Middle Eastern Muslims.

And for the record, the next time you suggest we leave this site, I will report you.

Could he know more about your race than you? Tsk tsk :-)

I am a white. :) My friends and loved ones often refer to me as the whitest person they know, notwithstanding my light perma-tan.

One of our co-workers here looks white, but he's actually Mexican and white. If he hadn't told me this, I would have never guessed.

Don't forget the stuff people tell him not knowing he's half Mexican. Smoke coming from his head.
