| 7981 | Oh, and I have not been dumbed down by any feminist movement. In fact, I have many more opportunities and live a better life because of it. I can vote. My husband isn't allowed to beat me. I don't have to be dependent on family if I can't 'find a man' or rather, don't feel a need for a man. I can buy and own my own property and business. I'm allowed and educated in the institutions and professions I wish to be in. If you enjoy being oppressed, that's fine, but don't go around calling other women who don't hold your beliefs 'dumbed down'. How are you so above everyone else? To you, everyone else has been dumbed down and it's not their fault. It's becoming weary. You are not the authority you like to feel you are on these topics. Neither is your pastor, nor your bible, nor your god. | Did you know that in the past, most US states tried to "ban" interracial marriage? |
| 7982 | Oh gosh no! I've already said I was going to quit twice now and have no self control. | Did you know that in the past, most US states tried to "ban" interracial marriage? |
| 7983 | I can't help it. Well, I think I've tired of the race issue, and the religious issue with LJD, but when she starts ripping on 'women's lib' and nursing I can't keep my feelings to myself. It feels too personal. And yes, I am fighting a lost cause, but as long as I'm putting up a hell of a fight...at least for awhile. Don't wanna make it too easy do I? | Did you know that in the past, most US states tried to "ban" interracial marriage? |
| 7984 | I'm not asking you to apologize. I was just asking why it wouldn't be the other way around. The black heritage lost when some one is of mixed race. | Did you know that in the past, most US states tried to "ban" interracial marriage? |
| 7985 | Who are you to judge what is a good era and what is not? Who are you to judge what is good and what is not? You are not an omnipotent god knowing all & watching us from the sky. You are a human being, just like everyone else on this planet. No better, no worse, even the black people living in dirty huts in Africa are your equals. | Did you know that in the past, most US states tried to "ban" interracial marriage? |
| 7986 | I have not been dumbed down. You use blanket statements. When you do, and I am a part of it & it is inaccurate, I'm going to say something. | Did you know that in the past, most US states tried to "ban" interracial marriage? |
| 7987 | Yes, please, dumb it down for me. Ok, so being a part of a recessive race is better than being a part of a dominant race? Because, with your theory, as soon as your are soiled with another race in your blood you are no longer white, and therefor do not deserve what white people have. But if you are black and get some white blood in you, you're still good.
Would you accept blood or an organ from a black person? | Did you know that in the past, most US states tried to "ban" interracial marriage? |

> just lived through a better time as a youth. Now this, I understand. Thank you. | Did you know that in the past, most US states tried to "ban" interracial marriage? |
| 7989 | I have not been dumbed down. No conspiracy has come along and saw to it that I was made dumb. | Did you know that in the past, most US states tried to "ban" interracial marriage? |
| 7990 | I repeat, I have not been dumbed down. You don't know my life experiences. You don't know what I've been taught. You don't know what I have taken and decided to leave behind as I've grown. For example, my father felt quite the same about inter racial marriage as you. Instinctively I knew he was mistaken. It had nothing to do with how I was influenced by anyone. If I had been such an easily influenced person than I would have adopted his beliefs, but I didn't. I saw his flawed reasoning on my own, no one taught it to me. I felt it in my heart. There is NO way you can know that I have been dumbed down. If, as you believe, people can be influenced so without them being aware of it, then it is only reasonable and possible that YOU have been improperly influenced and not even know it, and I think you have, but I'm not about to say it's not your fault because you make decisions for yourself just like everyone else.
I'm curious. How do you identify some one who has been dumbed down? Is there some 'dumbed down' detector? Or do you just assume that everyone born after you is defective? | Did you know that in the past, most US states tried to "ban" interracial marriage? |
