Good words, would not division based on race be the opposite of our oneness in Christ? it's amazing one can shout about being oneness but live a trinity.

Re: Mixed Race Marriage In The U.S. Climbs To New

You might wonder what God means by "nation," but I wouldn't argue that nowadays, this surely has little to do with race; I read "culture" there more than "race."
However, there are surely still more obstacles in either case?

Th oneness revelation should bring us oneness with each other: Mal 2:10

10 Have we not all one father ? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
KJV

Just like trinity divides the godhead people live a trinity when they divide the body of Christ by race, social status, pastors, church, orgs........

Might sound a little corny but that's how I came up with live a trinity.

Re: Mixed Race Marriage In The U.S. Climbs To New

What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." ... for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
I don't think " light and darkness" means the color of someone's skin? We are in the last days please marry a believer in the oneness no matter the race! The goal is to make it to heaven and take as many with you as you can!

WASHINGTON — Interracial marriages in the U.S. have climbed to 4.8 million – a record 1 in 12 – as a steady flow of new Asian and Hispanic immigrants expands the pool of prospective spouses. Blacks are now substantially more likely than before to marry whites.

A Pew Research Center study, released Thursday, details a diversifying America where interracial unions and the mixed-race children they produce are challenging typical notions of race.

"The rise in interracial marriage indicates that race relations have improved over the past quarter century," said Daniel Lichter, a sociology professor at Cornell University. "Mixed-race children have blurred America's color line. They often interact with others on either side of the racial divide and frequently serve as brokers between friends and family members of different racial backgrounds," he said. "But America still has a long way to go."

The figures come from previous censuses as well as the 2008-2010 American Community Survey, which surveys 3 million households annually. The figures for "white" refer to those whites who are not of Hispanic ethnicity. For purposes of defining interracial marriages, Hispanic is counted as a race by many in the demographic field.

The study finds that 8.4 percent of all current U.S. marriages are interracial, up from 3.2 percent in 1980. While Hispanics and Asians remained the most likely, as in previous decades, to marry someone of a different race, the biggest jump in share since 2008 occurred among blacks, who historically have been the most segregated.

States in the West where Asian and Hispanic immigrants are more numerous, including Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico and California, were among the most likely to have couples who "marry out" – more than 1 in 5. The West was followed by the South, Northeast and Midwest. By state, mostly white Vermont had the lowest rate of intermarriage, at 4 percent.

In all, more than 15 percent of new marriages in 2010 were interracial.
People like you need to be banned from being born ~ GOD made ONE RACE~ That IS the HUMAN RACE! "mixed" and "interracial" are mere pathetic labels that ignorant people have put on marriages where one marries another and there is a skin color difference. Hopefully one day people of your kind, will just become exstinct....btw, my "interracial" children and grandchildren are the most beautiful children in the world. :-))
