Yes, im sure this hit really hard with the “Jim Brewer is a funny person” crowd.
I could be way off, but I would predict that marriages with a black man and a white woman are a higher percentage of total marriages in southern states than in northern/western.
I don’t know where to find that data, but in the south it was never even repealed, it had to be overturned way after it was already legal in other states. plus it was and still is dangerous to be in these relationships in certain areas. I’d think it would therefore be less common but I have nfi, as an overall % these relationships are still surprisingly rare.
I find the entire concept stupid, because the notion of race is so concocted and arbitrary and not based in science at all, plus all the “one drop” stuff would technically have me as black even though I am lily white. the reality is a lot more people are mixed race than they realize.
Marriages with a black man and a white woman are going to be a higher percentage of total marriages in the states with the highest percentage of the population that is black, I would guess.

They realize. Why do you think they fear white genocide? (I support white genocide.)
this is a frequently loaded and anti Semitic conspiracy term that is basically nonsense, but I am assuming you are referring to the general trend of growing diversification in the united states, which I do support - the country becoming less white would almost certainly be a good thing.
this is a topic near and dear to my heart and I am still ignorant and learning a lot about it, but everything I learn about race relations in the south tells me never to make assumptions, it’s crazy complex. I am planning on making a pilgrimage to the lake charles area where I found a ton of family, but I am sorta dreading it, the entire deep south just seems hopelessly fucked.
“Racially loyal”. Ok Adolph.

Lake Charles is a bizarre place. All casinos and chemical plants. Also got smashed by a hurricane 2 years ago and supposedly is still roughed up, wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

the mayor advised people to leave if they can not too long ago so it seems mostly people that were too poor to do so.
if there’s casinos maybe i could salvage a good time.
I have a buttload of family out there apparently, and like streets and cemeteries named after my weird last name, so I gotta check it out
Finally found this, from 2010 and I haven’t looked super closely but at a glance interracial marriage does seem less common in general in the south. Although, the highest percentage of non-hispanic white/non-hispanic black marriage is a county in GA.
eta - wait, no, I think I was looking at the wrong map - slight edge probably to the south but you can see it’s vanishingly small percentages for white/black intermarriage esp compared to other races.
funny the only green colored counties in CA are the counties my closer family is from
Lol, you actually make it sound like my kind of joint.
Lawtwitter is highly skeptical of no charges for Gaetz story.

You’ll like Gary IN!
Thats because CA has like a 60-70% hispanic rate.
My condolences to all you Californians on here. Today I learned your state is just like a burning upside down plane that is about to crash. Maybe you can make it to a better place like for example Mississippi.

Not sure if this belongs here, cause it’s gop insanity, or the Healthcare thread cause it’s Healthcare related. Saw a billboard in PA today that said
“Tired of expensive Healthcare? Vote Republican.”
With scary pictures of Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, and AOC.
It’s sad that people are stupid enough to fall for this shit.
Is pillow guy married? If so look out lady.
This is what really stuck out! Projecting their own fearfulness.
Conservatives/Republican types really are the biggest scaredy-cats. Hence their need to wave guns around. And then try to pretend other people are scaredy cats. Just lolololol…the only actually funny part of that video.
