I don't know that feel  :cry:


Don't get me wrong... there is an awful lot of shite and the BBC has a liberal bias but I don't think it's such a bias as MSNBC for instance... They actually try to do some factual reporting rather than just sit there bitching about the opposition. They won't generally admit their bias either... it's only slight and I think they do genuinely attempt to be neutral... just the country is a left-leaning country so it's only natural that if you're trying to be neutral you're going to lean left a little. Back in the days of Thatcher they were accused of being conservatively biased...

From the OP:




So... when did either of those things actually happen? Because what you've linked here only shows that the Davis campaign is saying that Greg Abbott is refusing to answer whether or not he would defend a ban on interracial marriage, either in the case that one was law now or previously, and that's true. The Abbott campaign is refusing to answer that question, and the candidate doesn't deny that fact. He was asked the question in an interview by the San Antonio Express-News editorial board [See: http://www.expressnews.com/news/news_columnists/peggy_fikac/article/Is-there-an-echo-of-the-past-in-the-ban-on-gay-5833451.php] and he twice declined to definitively answer whether or not he would/would have or wouldn't/wouldn't have.

Going from there to Davis saying that Abbott would ban interracial marriage, or Davis saying that there's a threat to interracial marriage, is a big stretch. For the moment the campaign is simply noting, correctly, that Abbott is choosing not to answer what should be a pretty easy hypothetical question.


It is a non-question. I wouldn't respond to a request so stupid. That is settled law, the SCOTUS ruled on it, and they have force majeure.

Exactly its slimy as hell. Much like the other example I posted, where they have NO reason or right to request private voting information from an individual. It deserves shaming. Not excuses.

~13% of the people in this country still don't like interracial marriage. Is it a non-question because a ban can't become law? Or a non-question because of what you think his views are?

It's a non-question because it's a view that people are going to keep quiet in the public spotlight if they believe it.

Let's be honest... there's a lot of families that would have a problem with their children having kids with a person of another race. Anyone who denies this, or thinks it is solely a white thing, is delusional.

or as quite simply, never spoken to an asian female who has a family that is still living.


Personal thank you, to those of you that don't condone this behavior, and more importantly have voiced it. (atleast the fliers, if nothing more)

Indeed, and it's also a somewhat common theme in black families(who actually stayed together).
