What firestorm? I heard a few comments pro and con, but no screaming yelling knockdown-dragouts!

Liberal trolls flooded the You Tube comments with 'hateful' comments.

I never saw any of the comments but that's where the fire storm must have been.

Ever noticed in ads that the white guys are always made out to be the dummies while the minorities are always the intelligent ones?

Oh I don't know. Did you see that "You promised her what?" look she gave him at the end of the commercial. Dad screwed up again.

I have no verse other than the Tower of Babel where he separated people for assuming they could reach god status by joining together and building the tower to reach the heavens. Seems to me he wanted a certain amount of separation or diversity if you will for a reason. Not one big happy melting pop globalists think we need now. Just my opinion.

I looked her up - Somali born, raised in Holland.

She's quite an impressive person. A former Dutch MP, no less. And an apostate from Islam.

Not of the same culture as “African-Americans”.

It’s the culture, not the melanin, that drives the bigotry.

That's certainly a fair point, but it's a nice photo nevertheless.

Anyone, black white, left or right, who has a problem of any kind with interracial dating or marriage should be euthenized on the spot. And made a non person.

More libs are racist than conservatives, in my observation, but objecting to an interracial partnership should just mark that ‘person’ out as only good for organ donation.

Wow... that’s pretty intolerant.
I’m pretty tolerant, even of people with objectionable views, as long as they don’t force me or others to participate in their bigotry.

Nah. Black men cannot stand to see a black woman with a white man.


Very true.

Actually, yes.

Some opinions are so disgusting that those espousing them *should* be torn limb from limb by an enraged crowd. Child molesters would meet my criteria for that, along with someone who said anything derogatory about a mixed race marriage or the people in it. Some things, such as racial thinking, are so vile that free speech be damned, the espouser should just have the crap kicked out of them and get run out of town.

sorry, I hate racists like I do child molesters - first amendment or not, whack ‘em first, hide the body, best good for the Human Race.

Good for you.
I’d have no problem booting boot to rear, or possibly even .357 to head, of anyone who said a word to or about any of my friends in such relationships.

Like child molesters, there are some things we just shouldn’t tolerate as a society, first amendment be damned.

For starters the problems a bi-cultural marriage brings to children.

That is a social issue.

Second a blurring of the cultural lines. He made us different for a reason why should we try and melt it all back together?

I think his work essentially stopped with Adam and Eve. Variation sprang from them.

Furthermore, when a mixed multitude left Egypt alongside the Israelites and were eventually absorbed into the nation, does any scripture indicate it was somehow displeasing to God?

Cool commercial. Who gives a crap what they look like. I’m just glad there are two parents.

You might have an interesting discussion with this guy: Muslim cleric: Saying “Merry Christmas” worse than alcohol, fornication, and murder

Once you promote the idea that some speech legitimately invites violence, what do you do when YOU are not the judge of what constitutes such offensive speech?

Stay armed.

Some things should just get the crap kicked out of you.

I was, and am, opposed to our wars in the mid east; that said, if i ever saw someone spit on or curse a veteran I’d beat the crap out of them (assuming they were male) if possible and worry about everything else later.
