[quote=Anonymous]This is an interesting thread even though it has meandered a bit.

What AA mother who wants her DS to marry an AA woman, does not acknowledge is color consciousness among AAs' is rife. A light-skinned AA is viewed by most other AAs' as more attractive than a dark-skinned black. Most highly successful AA men - especially celebrities - hook up with white women or light skinned AA women or other light skinned women. A form of bias that is based on skin color. One of the notable exceptions is Obama whose wife definitely does not fit that mold.

I am open to my children marrying pretty much anyone - my only criteria is whether the individual would make my DC happy and treat him/her well. The exception with my DD would be that I would not want her to marry a Muslim guy. I don't care what the upbringing of the Muslim guy is, there are cultural and religious elements that would cause her to have a subjugated role as a woman quite apart from the likely requirement that she convert to Islam. If you want to call this bigotry, I plead guilty.[/quote]
