    glad we've finally got to the point where we can effectively judge the overall pulse of america by usings comments made on social media.

    This ? is not suprising or unusual Matt.

    People say what they truly feel on the internet. Yes there are some trolls, but if you spent any time on CNN.com or Yahoo News and read the comments this ? is tame in comparison.

    Nobody is going to publicly speak against IR relationships because they know better, but there is definitely an underlying current that proves America is not ready for it to be accepted as normal by depicting it in something as all-American and wholesome as a Cheerios commercial.

    It's still viewed as taboo and participants are seen as lesser than...it's stupid.
    Funny because both online and off line black men and women are anti-interracial relationships. Even my mamma disapproves of it.

    it all depends... if the interracial couple is very attractive or very ugly... no ? givin (cuz the kids of the attractive couple are gonna be pretty or the 2 ugly people no body wants anyway)

    let it be lopsided tho where one is clearly more atractive then the other... or it be a inverse of a stereotypical interracial fam (white man black female or asian male black female ? arab male white female even)

    people say slick ? about it..

    remember there was that thread about bob Johnson daughter that went 20 pages..

    I meant people that have ? to lose when they voice politically incorrect opinions.

    On a grand scale, nobody gives a ? what your mama thinks..but even so, I'm sure even she knows when and where it would be wise to keep her opinion to herself.

    They just don't want other white woman seeing this and saying to themselves "I can have a black man"

    Not for nothing but I would pound a white gurl out and wife.

    Gotta love racism. Proves me right every time a situation like this occurs.

    The commercial proves nothing, that is unless people actually thought this country changed.

    Murica is and always well be racist.
