BLM: White Woman Lists All The Things She Had To Learn After Marrying A Black Man

[Koldo]

I would consider everything.

Then what statistics have you read back when you chose who to marry? Or what statistics did you, at least, try to find back then?

Back then there was no internet, so no stats easily available. The only stats I had to hand were: marry a non-Christian, high probability of divorce, marry a Christian, low probability of divorce. I chose the latter.

And you didn't even try to find any statistics, right?
Yeah, I knew it.

What's that got do with anything? When you're young you don't look out for such things. Stats didn't even exist back then outside of specialist books.

I'd been presented with the Christian versus non-Christian matter in a forcible manner. It was also something I'd witnessed in real life: the propensity of non-Christians to divorce. In the event I'd wish I'd been presented with such matters earlier in my life. The prevailing commie ideologies don't promote such learning, because in commie philosophy, restraint and discrimination is wrong when it comes to "love." Commie philosophy is based in atheism, and has historically promoted the kind of free love that exists in modern society (i.e. if you don't like being married, just get a divorce and ignore the consequences).

So what was the point of bringing race into this topic?

You'd better ask the OP. I'm not sure what the point of his post was. I couldn't see any connection between BLM and what he was talking about.

I brought my own house when I was young, and I was subjected to an incredible degree of hostility and abuse by my elderly neighbours. I wasn't even of a different race. To see a racial element in everything in perverse.

BLM is a variant of Black Power in the 1960s. Nothing new, except that there are proportionally many more blacks today than in the 1960s, due to a massive population increase amongst blacks not reflected in a corresponding increase in the white population. Then there is a degree of rebellion against conventional morality in the white population not previously seen. A far more polarized society perhaps in the US than before, but I think it is a religious divide: atheists (massively increased in number) versus non-atheists.

And I'm pretty sure BLM are mainly atheists. Cofounder Alicia Garza uses the Twitter handle “Love God Herself." Anyone who believes in a femine God is a born again mother earth worshipper (i.e. atheist). Demands to defund the police discloses an anarchist organization.

I support the BLM movements all over the world, that does not make me an atheist, it make me aware of the problem some white people make toward black people.

This was your very first comment in this thread:

White wife/Black husband marriages are almost twice as likely to divorce by the 10th year of marriage compared to White/White couples, which is already high enough. On balance, may be not such a good idea if you're religiously disposed. Not all people are.

None of your subsequent comments had anything to do with hostility by neighbours, but everything with divorce and divorce rates.

Now that you've expounded at length about your personal views on divorce and ideal partners, it seems especially strange that you would broach this topic in a thread about interracial marriage, don't you think? That's why I'm interested in what was going through your mind when you made that post.

As far as I am aware, you're not a Christian.

True. But what does that has to do with BLM?

That's only because I was being interrogated by someone with an agenda and responding to their questions.

Why would it be strange? I didn't mention "ideal" partners. The limit of my analysis was the usage of statistics and how they might influence you to avoid pitfalls that so many fall into.

I don't think you have a good motive. Sounds like an inquisition, to elicit a "thought crime."

And BTW, the history of atheism is a history of accusing others of thought crimes, or at least irrationality. I don't think you can accuse me of irrationality for pointing to statistics.

Not just when you are young. People just don't look at statistics to choose who they are going to marry. We evaluate people themselves for who they are.

And conservative christians, particularly the most devout, tend to have terrible marriages, so? Let's not pretend you haven't seen it happening either: Being told to suck it up no matter what your spouse does because marriage is for life.

Don't you think that all of the things this woman listed would be the kind of things that put additional strains on a relationship and could be a significant factor in those statistics? Do you think "religiously disposed" people should just surrender to the "evil" in the world or should they seek to overcome and defeat it?

I definitely took into account the likelihood of my spouse divorcing me when I selected a wife. I'm still married to the woman, 34 years later. If you don't take it into account, you're a fool.

I'm a fool then. I didn't. And I'm still married to the same woman 51 years later. The secret - pure unadulterated stubbornness when it came to working things out. We refused to give up on each other.

Most religions have no issues with people of whatever color. And even still, when christianity spread through Europe, we didnt just see black and white, we saw Angle, Celt, Dane, Jute, Saxon, and so on. But we aren't very tribal anymore and havent been in Europe for awhile, so not mixing tribes took a more modern understanding, which is race. A Saxon and Dane marriage was unthinkable and treasonous at one point. Today no one gives a damn.

Neither do I'm as I am not interested in this subject. Everyone associates with whom they want to. I am no different. I associate with whom I want to.

But I am interested in religion. The command of Jesus was this: "everyone who divorces commits adultery." So if you're a Christian you might want to think about the consequences of actions that have an approximately 100% higher risk of divorce than an alternative path. Just a thought. The newspapers are full of whingeing English middle aged women marrying foreign toyboys so that they can get passports to the UK; but once obtained these women are soon divorced and can lose large sums of money. Why should anyone care? What do they expect? Their values are entirely "secular." My observations would be superfluous and irrelevant to them: especially to the BLM movement which is largely if not wholly atheist, politically driven and dedicated only to "rights", not the salvation of souls.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

not the salvation of souls.

Why should that be a concern? Why cant people do that in their own time when civil rights, liberties, and rights are at stake?

Why should anyone care? What do they expect? Their values are entirely "secular."

And it's been Christian values that have perpetuated racism. Such as the "mixing tribes" thing I referenced earlier. Or permission to own slaves. That was a God Given Right the South demanded from the start if American sovereignty. Saying that if your religious you should think carefully before entering an interracial marriage, thats part of the reason Christianity is in decline. Because Christian churches are still upholding ancient dogma and superstitions that the rest of the world has largely and most left behind.

The highest divorce rates in America are in bible belt states.

Yes, be afraid of the 6 foot plus black male giant because black men withiut the height are intimidating and if you feel worried gor no real reason just go with your worry (I'm glad I didn't follow that at the dentist the other, as Ive been so mistreated by healthcare providers that one being exceptionally awesome to me sent me immediately flying into panic mode).

I didn’t say anything about the races of the individuals. You made an assumption. Interesting.

If she had gone with her gut feeling she probably wouldn’t have been mugged.
