Bullpiffle. I think actual proof is needed to prove that there's nothing wrong with interracial intimate contact. Here's a actual photo of me and my beau, J-Tyrone and our pit-terrier, Pickles.

That plant on the right, is that a huge Alocasia? Just want to know

I later found out it was a cop.

Hello Miss Gale. You seem to have some serious problem in your neck, it looks swollen like a cancer or maybe dislocated cervical vertebrae? If I were cynical I'd think this is a very bad Photoshop job.


Anyway. While I don't argue against your underlying thesis, I must point out that your argumentation is flawed. The mere existence of couples from different ethnic backgrounds* does not prove whether such unions are good or bad. So basically, your argument is not an argument at all.

* I assume this is what you mean by "interracial couples." Technically, however, every single specimen of the human species is interracial. Based on the population migrations in the recorded history, the man in this picture has to have some European and Semitic/Arab ancestry, and the female head is probably a mixture of European, Semitic, and American Indian ancestry.

I assure you Delores, this happy photo is very real. To explain my abnormal neck, either I slept on it funny one night, or Mr. Hoaring, my ex, dislocated it leaving it indefinitely swollen.

No, I'm not making any argument and it doesn't get anywhere. I'm merely making a beautiful statement demonstrated by a simple photo depicting successful, interracial love.

Thank you, Miss Gale, for providing argumentation that my original Photoshop hypothesis was correct. You're just like Rex Tillerson, who by declining to confirm or deny that he called American President a moron, basically proved that he did indeed called Mr. Trump a moron.

1. A photo, even assuming that it is not Photoshopped, is not proof of anything - not even of the existence of a relationship. I have photos hugging people whom I deeply despise, yet you couldn't tell that from the smiles recorded by the camera.


2. Like I already said, the existence of a relationship between people of different ethnic backgrounds has nothing to do with whether such unions are good or bad. An example: there are many well-documented cases of the existence of successful serial killers. Can that be used as an argument that serial killers are good? Nope.

Okay, well to help paint a better picture for you. I was being discreet because the real reason is that I swallowed something thick over the night and its left a distinguished dent in that region.

Why don't you just take my word that we're happy; right from the primary source.

Even assuming that this was true - which I'm not inclined to believe as you haven't proven yourself to be trustworthy - it still isn't proof of anything. See point 2 above.

Well, I feel sorry for you Delores, burdened with crippling doubt. Anyway, it's a small detail. You need to look at the bigger picture. Surely there must be black people in your congregation? What about mixed races? Are they not welcome in your church? They stemmed for somewhere.

You comprehend reality as well as you do the Bible.

Really? Jesus has blessed her beauty, I will say that. A certain patina of Victorian charm, n'est pas?

Yup, you did.

Re: The Parable of the white laundry and the black man.

Well, I feel sorry for you Delores,

This is going to be an irrelevant point and probably quite difficult to comprehend for someone who doesn't know how to spell "atheist," but my name is spelled Dolores, not Delores. As far as I know, the latter is the Americanized version of the original Spanish name.

Miss Gale, I have never said that I do not agree with your underlying thesis. What I'm trying to teach you - and clearly failing to achieve - is to provide proper argumentation supporting this thesis. Yes, there are plenty, and no, you have not provided a single one, which means that you cannot convince anyone to agree with your thesis. That would be a big fat F in my class, if you were one of my students.

Surely there must be black people in your congregation? What about mixed races? Are they not welcome in your church?

I no longer belong to a church. I used to be a Catholic, but after reading a little bit of history, belonging to the largest and longest running criminal organization in history doesn't feel right. I have doubts whether God truly exists... then I remember about Hell and I envy the members of this lovely congregation for their strong faith.

They stemmed for somewhere.

I have no idea what are you trying to express with this sentence?...

Really? Jesus has blessed her beauty, I will say that.

Thank you, miss Gale, for these nice words.

Je ne sais pas, mademoiselle. Je ne parle pas bien le français. I don't have any patina, though. I went to an archaeological field school once, and having the opportunity to shower only once week we all did have a layer of patina every Saturday! But a nice shower takes all that layer off.

Re: The Parable of the white laundry and the black man.

This is not part of the holy Bible but today I had some kind of inspiration about a parable. Here it is:

As a home educator, and therefore semi-professional literary analyst and could-be editor (and more knowledgeable about medical issues and climate change than scientists, just saying), I will say this parable has all the hallmarks of a brilliant, timeless lesson for mankind. There is the protagonist that we can identify with, the old woman who works for the family, and the antagonist we naturally fear - the negro. Furthermore, the antagonist cannot help but change his ways and be better due to seeing the Truth(tm) in an organic, yet unarguable exchange. This is beautiful. I mean that sincerely.

[Jim C. Lombardo]

Re: The Parable of the white laundry and the black man.

Agreed. What I appreciate besides the artful subtlety of prose is the happy ending. So many stories today are bleak and cynical, but in a few short sentences you kindled Christian hope between the lines for a world free of blacks; mores specifically, blacks doing the work, free of charge.

Re: The Parable of the white laundry and the black man.

He was in an awful hurry to leave without having stolen anything. I hear black people believe in voodoo; could the black man in the story have placed a curse on the old lady's sheets?
