Good grief! Ease up, people. You KNOW what he means.
I don't have a prejudice bone in my body, and take no offense to being called a "mix-breed." If you want to get entirely PC, I am multi-racial, I guess.
My father is full blood Italian (or Sicilian if we get REALLY technical). My mother is Indian, Irish, French, German, Scotch, and a bunch of other stuff we haven't even figured out yet. So I could be anyone's long-lost cousin!
"Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them."
Psalm 119:165

So let me get this straight...you have never been offended?

I'm not saying that other people don't get offended, because obviously they do....but this is just way over the top.
And to answer your question.....I honestly cannot think of a time in my life when I have been offended about something. Of course, I cannot remember every second of every day for the past 27 years, so I'm not saying it's an impossibility....but off the top of my head, I can't remember anything.

then you my friend are a perfect individual. You are blessed of the Lord....or wait......maybe you are the Lord?
Knowing the nature of the originators posting this was of course just another attempt to get a rise out of people. Thats what he does. And yes my reaction was over the top. I should have just ignored the stupidity.
In church the other day we had a guy that had just got out of prison call a multi-racial guest a half breed. Do you think that is also an acceptable term? At school I watched a multi-racial young lady get very upset that she was forced to sign that she was black when she did not consider herself A.A. I guess maybe some are concerned with how they are viewed.
I'm done now and won't respond to this thread anymore but I think its highly offensive to all who may have a bi-racial family member, like myself.
Of course again, as long as you'renot mentioning a preachers name I guess its OK

Just for the record...I do want everyone to know that I did in no way mean to imply that I am a perfect person. Not even close......
It just seems that half the population carries a big chip on their shoulders. I've learned from experience that chips weigh about the same as boulders. The longer you carry them, the more they wear you down.
It's WAY easier to dunk those buddies in a bowl of salsa and have a party!

You can reach them with GospelPolkaCelticAnglo music! Go to Wisconsin they know how to get it done to the mixed Caucasian races. Why up there the preachers even allow germans and poles to marry each other! Can you even imagine? In the south that would be banned in the churches!
