" I don't follow why one has additional responsibilities if one enters a biracial marriage." - Sheria
Thanks loads for your kind, patient, well thought-out observations.
When one gets married you first go to the marriage license
place to get virtual 'permission.' Marriage is a public matter.
That's why, for example, same-sex marriage is such a hot button
social issue (I never use the word "issue" so plse overlook this
lapse, ha!) that is still fermenting in the body politic.
I am in a biracial marriage. I've posted photos to prove it.
One has to steel oneself for the inevitable protest. In my case
the biracial factor allows people to pontificate about the
unsuitability of the union, a ton of which BS I've had to endure.
Regardless of the age of my wife there would not have been one single murmur of criticism if my wife were Caucasian. The age difference acts as a cover behind which to be racist.
The truth is OJ married White trash.

I really do understand your observation about the additonal responsibilities and I confess that on some subconscious level, I knew that you had a valid point, but it was a painful truth that I didn't want to acknowledge.--Sheria
