KANSAS CITY, MO — Never shy about bantering with reporters, former Kansas City area Ku Klux Klan leader Dennis Mahon always seemed to be on the public relations side of the white supremacy movement — a virulent talker, but not a violent doer.
That changed Friday when federal prosecutors in Arizona announced that Mahon, 58, and his twin brother, Daniel, had been indicted in the 2004 mail bombing of a Scottsdale city office that promoted racial and cultural diversity. “There are few criminal acts as cowardly as a parcel bomb,” said Christopher White of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service in Phoenix.

The Mahons’ arrests Thursday in Illinois coincided with unrelated charges being announced against Robert Joos, a Powell, Mo., man whom Dennis Mahon allegedly called the morning the bomb arrived in Scottsdale. Authorities charged Joos, 56, with being a felon in possession of firearms. According to court records, Mahon allegedly sent an undercover federal informant to Joos, who taught him how to make napalm.
Also Thursday, agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives searched the Warsaw, Ind., home of Tom Metzger, director of the White Aryan Resistance and an associate of the Mahons.

In a Warsaw newspaper interview Friday, Metzger, said the search was related to the charges against the Mahons. He said that agents took a computer and address books.
Robert M. Fagan, an attorney representing Dennis Mahon, said that the bombing accusations still must be proven. “He’s a veteran and a contributing member of society,” Fagan said. Attorney Dennis Ryan, who represents Daniel Mahon, said his client believed he was innocent. “He’s denied any knowledge or participation in this,” Ryan said. “He believes this is more about his views and his persona. He’s at a loss of how he could have gotten to this point.”

An attorney for Joos could not be reached for comment. Dennis Mahon is a former Northmoor resident and imperial dragon of the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. In 1989, he unsuccessfully ran for a seat on the Northmoor Board of Aldermen, vowing to keep the community “white.” He also was involved in a skirmish over a public access channel of a Kansas City cable TV company. After a long battle, which included a federal lawsuit filed on behalf of the Klan, his group produced one TV program that aired in 1990.

According to court records, the Mahons long have been suspects in the Feb. 26, 2004, Scottsdale bombing. Prosecutors accused Dennis Mahon of using his brother’s phone to call the Scottsdale office on Sept, 26, 2003, and leave a voice message stating that “the White Aryan Resistance is growing in Scottsdale. There’s a few white people who are standing up.” Authorities began investigating Joos in 2005, after they noticed that a string of calls was made from Dennis Mahon’s phone on the morning of the bombing, the first to Joos’s cell phone, according to court records. The Mahons grew up as Illinois farmboys, said Leonard Zeskind, a Kansas City expert on hate groups. In the 1970s, they joined David Duke’s Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, he said.

They stayed with that group until 1988, when Dennis Mahon created his Missouri White Knights in Kansas City. When he moved to Tulsa, Okla., he tried to make a living selling Klan paraphernalia at gun shows, Zeskind said. He later set up camp in Arizona among a group of skinheads. “Mahon had long associated himself with the most violent aspects of white nationalist ideology,” Zeskind said, “and his arrest may signal a new turn towards tougher law enforcement policies in the wake of recent high-profile murders by racists and anti-Semites.” Prosecutors alleged that Dennis Mahon helped construct the Scottsdale bomb five days before delivery. The blast injured three people. Investigators allege other connections between Joos and the Mahons.
According to federal court records, the Mahons met with an undercover federal agent in February 2005 at an Oklahoma gun show. The Mahons purportedly told the agent about a 200-acre Missouri “retreat” Joos operated where “movement” members received survival training. Mahon allegedly described Joos as “a longtime, white supremacist associate and an expert on weapons, explosives, bomb-making and general survival skills.”

Undercover agents visited and allegedly saw Joos with many firearms, which he could not legally possess because of felony convictions. Joos gained notoriety in Missouri in the mid-1990s when an alleged associate, Timothy Thomas Coombs, purportedly shot a Missouri Highway Patrol trooper who earlier had arrested Joos. Domestic terrorism experts said they have seen a recent spike in extremist rhetoric and violence, and attribute some of it to the election of President Barack Obama. Heidi Beirich, director of research for the Southern Poverty Law Center, said some anti-government groups that aren’t necessarily racist — such as sovereign-citizen activists and tax protesters — now are finding common cause with white supremacists. “These two things have dovetailed due to the election of the first black president,” said Beirich. “The anti-government movement is more racialized.” The economic crisis also has played a role, said Mark Pitcavage, a research director for the Anti-Defamation League. Occasionally, people in desperate financial shape look for scapegoats and take extreme actions, he said.
Dennis Mahon never strayed far from the movement.

After moving to Tulsa, he became the Midwestern consultant for the White Aryan Resistance and operated a Dial-a-Racist hot line. In 1991, he made headlines for going to Germany to recruit. He said his audiences included racist skinheads. After the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, he told The Kansas City Star that he had never met bomber Timothy McVeigh but often had visited Elohim City, a white supremacist compound in Oklahoma that McVeigh called about two weeks before the bombing. Mahon also told The Star he sent McVeigh a supportive message in 1996, but also told him, “You should’ve done it at 2 in the morning. You don’t kill innocent people. That’s not the way to run a revolution.” In 1997, McVeigh’s attorney filed court documents naming Mahon as a possible suspect in the bombing. Mahon denied involvement. But later that year, he was mentioned by witnesses testifying before an Oklahoma grand jury investigating allegations of a wider conspiracy. A former federal informant who testified had said in previous interviews that Mahon had discussed blowing up federal buildings in the past and had cased the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in the months before the bombing.

Mahon appeared before the grand jury, but he said he pled the Fifth Amendment on everything. Mahon ran for mayor of Tulsa on a platform that included: “Do all I can legally to close down any baby-killing factory (abortion clinic) in Tulsa,” and “Do all I can legally to close down homosexual/lesbian taverns/bars for public health reasons.”
In 1999, Daniel Mahon was fired from his job as an avionics mechanic at American Airlines in Tulsa for conduct detrimental to the company and employees and for violating policies against threatening or intimidating co-workers. He and others attending a company diversity fair allegedly passed out a pamphlet that company officials said contained racist rhetoric. At a later meeting with managers, Daniel Mahon wore a T-shirt depicting the cover of the “Turner Diaries,” a racist novel said to have been used by McVeigh as a blueprint for the Oklahoma City bombing.
In an interview with The Star in May 2000, Dennis Mahon predicted more violence similar to the Oklahoma City bombing.

“I can tell you right now, before this year is over, there will be several Tim McVeigh instances of major buildings being bombed,” he said. “I think white men are finally realizing there’s no other solution but violence,” he said. In a 2005 interview, Mahon said many supremacist groups had turned into “wimps.” “After the bomb went off in Oklahoma City, the White Knights completely collapsed,” Mahon said. “They shut down the post-office box, they shut down the hot line. They were scared to death. They just went down the hidey-hole.” The militia movement did the same, he said. It was time, he said, for a new strategy. “There’ll be a time when we can go ahead and go with leadership movements,” he said. “But right now … , I think it’s just we all want to overthrow the government and get a state of our own. There’s many ways to do that. It’s called small cells and lone wolfism.”

SC governor admits affair, secret Argentina trip

These senators, govenors, and mayors are so funny! Gosh, how many more are going to admit to an affair? I am sure that more than 50% of these senators have had affairs at one time in their lives. You can't tell me that they don't, but the problem is is that a lot of them are hyprocites.

"
COLUMBIA, S.C. – After going AWOL for seven days, Gov. Mark Sanford admitted Wednesday that he had secretly flown to Argentina to visit a woman with whom he was having an affair. Wiping away tears, he apologized to his family and gave up a national Republican Party post, but was silent on whether he would resign. "I've been unfaithful to my wife," he said in a news conference in which the 49-year-old governor ruminated on God's law, moral absolutes and following one's heart. He said he spent the last five days "crying in Argentina." Sanford, who in recent months had been mentioned as a possible presidential candidate in 2012, said he would resign as head of the Republican Governors Association. By leaving the country without formally transferring power, critics said he neglected his gubernatorial authority and put the state at risk. It wasn't clear how his staff could reach him in an emergency.

At least one state lawmaker called for his resignation. As a congressman, Sanford voted in favor of three of four articles of impeachment against President Bill Clinton, citing the need for "moral legitimacy." The affair is now over, Sanford said, describing the woman who lives in Argentina as a "dear, dear friend" whom he has known for about eight years and been romantically involved with for about a year. He said he has seen her three times since the affair began, and his wife found out about it five months ago. A newspaper published steamy e-mails between Sanford and the woman. He did not identify her.

"What I did was wrong. Period," he said. His family did not attend the news conference, and his wife Jenny Sanford said she asked the governor to leave and stop speaking to her two weeks ago. The governor said he wants to reconcile, and his wife's statement said her husband has earned a chance to resurrect their marriage. "This trial separation was agreed to with the goal of ultimately strengthening our marriage," she said. Sanford denied instructing his staff to cover up his affair, but acknowledged that he told them he thought he would be hiking on the Appalachian Trail and never corrected that impression after leaving for South America. "I let them down by creating a fiction with regard to where I was going," Sanford said. "I said that was the original possibility. Again, this is my fault in ... shrouding this larger trip."

Questions about Sanford's whereabouts arose early this week. For two days after reporters started asking questions, his office had said he had gone hiking on the trail.
Cornered at the Atlanta airport by a reporter from The State newspaper, Sanford revealed Wednesday morning that he had gone to Argentina for a seven-day trip.
When news first broke about his mysterious disappearance, Jenny Sanford told The Associated Press she did not know where her husband and father of their four sons had gone for the Father's Day weekend. She said he needed time away to write.
Sanford emerged Wednesday afternoon at a news conference, where he mused openly of his love of hiking and how he used to guide trips along the Appalachian Trail, and eventually tearfully apologized to his wife, his staff and his friends — but without yet saying what he was apologizing for. "I hurt a lot of different folks," he said, occasionally choking up throughout the news conference that lasted about 20 minutes.
With those watching still wondering what he was admitting, Sanford said: "The odyssey that we're all on in life is with regard to heart." Excerpts of e-mail exchanges between the governor and his mistress were published online Wednesday by The State. The governor's office wouldn't discuss the e-mails with The Associated Press, but told The State it wouldn't dispute the authenticity of the messages.

One from the governor read: "I could digress and say that you have the ability to give magnificent gentle kisses, or that I love your tan lines or that I love the curve of your hips, the erotic beauty of you holding yourself (or two magnificent parts of yourself) in the faded glow of the night's light — but hey, that would be going into sexual details."
Several residents said they were disappointed in Sanford. "He shouldn't have lied to us. He should have been up straight," said college student Gerald Walker, 19, in downtown Columbia. "It's very embarrassing for someone in a leadership role that we are supposed to respect, especially me being a young guy." Glenn Mitchell, of Columbia, said he felt Sanford's absence showed a lack of concern for the state. "He left the state unattended," said Mitchell, 54, out of work recuperating from surgery. "He just hasn't been there for us."

But Warren "Cubby" Culbertson, a longtime friend who said he has been counseling Sanford, said the governor was accepting responsibility for his actions.
"Any man can fall. But it takes a real man to get up and honestly, from his heart, confess that he was wrong," Culbertson said. "And he's going to try to change."
Others were less forgiving. State Rep. Todd Rutherford, D-Columbia, called for Sanford's resignation. "There is nothing left to save," Rutherford said. "There is no reason for him to remain as governor." Sanford, a former three-term congressman, was elected governor in 2002. He has more than a year remaining in his second term and is barred by state law from running again. Sanford was elected chairman of the Republican Governors Association this year after he helped raise a record $10.6 million at the group's 2008 annual dinner to help elect GOP governors. The association said Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour would assume the duties as chairman.

The libertarian-leaning Republican was seldom a firebrand. But he was known for salting tales of family life into policy discussions. He criticized the $787 billion federal stimulus law and efforts by legislators to claim a share of it by saying in tough times a family would sit around the table and find ways to cut spending. His vocal battle against the Obama administration over the stimulus money won praise from conservative pundits, but ultimately, a state court order required him to take the money.

Jenny Sanford, a millionaire whose family fortune comes from the Skil Corp. power tool company, has been central to Sanford's political career. She ran his congressional campaigns and his first race for governor. She was an almost daily fixture at senior staff meetings, and often could be seen driving a minivan away from the Statehouse in the mornings. The two met when Sanford, who has an MBA, was trying his hand on Wall Street. She was working at a brokerage house when he entered a training program. As governor, Sanford has had seemingly endless run-ins with the GOP-dominated Legislature, once bringing pigs to the House chamber to protest pork barrel spending. He also put a "spending clock" outside his office to show how quickly a proposed budget would spend state money. Sanford's announcement came a day after another prominent Republican, Sen. John Ensign of Nevada, apologized to his GOP Senate colleagues after revealing last week that he had an affair with a campaign staffer and was resigning from the GOP leadership."

List of Politicians Affairs

John Ensign (R): The Nevada senator admits to having an affair with the wife of his former chief of staff. Ensign resigns as Senate Republican Policy Committee chair but says he won't resign his Senate seat; his term ends in 2012.

Jim Gibbons (R): The Nevada governor is in the midst of salacious divorce proceedings, where his wife has accused him of extramarital affairs with several women, including a former Playboy model. Gibbons is up for a second term in 2010.

John Edwards (D): Following months of headlines in the National Enquirer that he was having an affair with Rielle Hunter, who had been videotaping him during his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, Edwards -- his White House hopes long over -- confesses to the affair. But he denies the Enquirer's account that Hunter's child is his.

Kwame Kilpatrick (2008): Detroit Mayor Kilpatrick's sworn denial of a romantic relationship with Christine Beatty, his chief of staff, evaporated when racy text messges between the two were uncovered. Kilpatrick, married, was soon charged with perjury. He resigned as mayor in September of 2008.

Vito Fossella (2008): Fossella was the lone Republican congressman from New York City, a rising star in the party, and a potential candidate for mayor. He was also arrested for driving under the influence in Virginia. But then it got worse. He told police he was on his way to seeing his 3-year-old daughter, who was ill. Puzzled, journalists began digging and learned that the child in question was the one he had with his mistress, Laura Fay, a retired Air Force officer. Fay, in fact, was the person who put up bail to have him released from jail. Fossella, who also had a wife and family back home on Staten Island, then announced he would not seek re-election.

Marc Dann (2008): Part of the Ohio Democratic landslide of 2006, Dann was forced to resign as state attorney general in 2008 after admitting he had an affair with a staff member.

Eliot Spitzer (2008): Spitzer, the crimebusting prosecutor who was elected governor of New York in 2006, was discovered to be utilizing a high-priced prostitution service. The first Democrat to win the governorship in 16 years, Spitzer had prosecuted corporate crime, Wall Street fraud and -- you guessed it -- prostitution as state attorney general. He resigned as governor in March of 2008.

Larry Craig (2007): A conservative GOP senator from Idaho, Craig was in his third term when he was arrested in a Minneapolis airport men's room on a charge of lewd conduct. Craig pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct but denied widespread rumors that he is gay. He subsequently decided to retire in 2008.

David Vitter (2007): In 2004, Vitter became the first Republican to be elected to the Senate from Louisiana since Reconstruction, doing so in part by appealing to conservative, "family values" issues. But his phone number appeared in the records of an escort service (read: prostitution ring) run by Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the so-called "D.C. Madam." Vitter apologized to his family, God, and the GOP. Republicans, for the most part, have rallied behind him as he seeks a second term next year.

Gavin Newsom (2007): The mayor of San Francisco admitted to having an affair with the wife of his campaign manager. Newsom, a Democrat, is considered a leading candidate for governor of California in 2010.

Antonio Villaraigosa (2007): Amid speculation that he would run for governor of California in 2010, Los Angeles Mayor Villaraigosa acknowledged having an affair with Mirthala Salinas, a TV reporter who had been covering City Hall. The mayor subsequently decided not to seek the governorship.

Mark Foley (2006): The scandal involving Foley, the conservative Florida congressman who was revealed to have been sending explicit instant message conversations to male, underage, congressional pages, was widely considered to be one of the contributing factors that helped end Republican control of Congress in 2006. Foley resigned his House seat within days of the scandal's going public.
(Meanwhile, the Democrat who won the seat, Tim Mahoney -- who campaigned in 2006 on family values -- admitted to having an affair with with a campaign staffer. The admission came less than a month before the 2008 election, which he lost.)

Ed Schrock (2004): Schrock, a two-term Republican congressman from Virginia, announced he would not seek re-election in August of 2004 after he was "outed" on a Web site as being gay. There were accusations that Schrock, married with a child, had utilized a service in which men seek liaisons with other men.

Jim McGreevey (2004): McGreevey, a Democrat, resigned as governor of New Jersey after admitting he was gay and had an extramarital affair with the man he had hired as a homeland security adviser.

Jack Ryan (2004): Ryan was forced to quit as the Republican nominee for the Senate in Illinois in 2004, when damaging details about his divorce from actress Jeri Ryan were leaked. Jeri Ryan said that her husband had taken her to sex clubs and was asked to have sex with him in front of other people. Jack Ryan was replaced on the GOP ticket by conservative commentator Alan Keyes, who went on to get trounced by the Democratic candidate, Barack Obama.

Bob Wise (2003): The Democratic governor of West Virginia was accused by a man of having an affair with his estranged wife. Wise, married with two children, acknowledged the accusation and decided not to run for a second term in 2004.

Gary Condit (2001): The relationship between Condit, a moderate California Democratic congressman, with Chandra Levy was revealed after the D.C. intern disappeared. Condit was forced to acknowledge the affair but insisted he had nothing to do with her disappearance (and ultimately it was proven true). But voters back home had had enough, soundly rejecting him in the March 2002 Democratic primary.

Self-pity in its early stages is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.
- Maya Angelou


How about my profile song? You like it don't you! You can't have it...it's mine..it's mine! I had a discussion in like 2003 with a Mr. Richard Lucero about how immigrants can come to this country an outshine so of these whiny American born people. The Vietnamese can come to this country and establish businesses for themselves working diligently to give their families better lives. One of my best friends family had to struggle and you have these American born people that expect things to fall out the sky or a fairy to grant their every wish. These lazy Americans make me want to throw up in my mouth. I work with hard working immigrant people and I have so much respect for them. They come here, learn the English language, and try to accomplish their goals in life. Some of them with their family back in their home countries. SO YOU WHINY AMERICAN BORN WORTHLESS PIECES OF CRAP...STAY THE HECK AWAY FROM ME!

BBC launching real-life Mrs Doubtfire series


A new BBC series will see fathers dressing up as nannies and going undercover to find out what their children are really like. The premise to the series is similar to the 1993 film Mrs Doubtfire in which Robin Williams dressed up as a nanny in order to spend more time with his children. The fathers featured in Undercover Dads will be sent to 'nanny boot camp' where they will learn to walk, talk and act like a lady. They will then spend a further five hours in make-up and prosthetics in a bid to fool their children that they are a TV expert called Mega Nanny.The undercover fathers will then set their children a series of challenges to win prizes for the family - if the children work out their father's identity, the game is over. Clive Tullosh, head of entertainment at Tiger Aspect - who co-created the series - said: "This is a series that not only entertains children but also helps them understand how tough it can sometimes be for their parents to keep everything going.
"Equally it shows parents how sometimes quality time spent with children is more appreciated than what the parents feel they are supposed to strive for."
Undercover Dads starts on CBBC next month.
Do you think this is a good idea for a series? Let us know what you think...

"If you are dating a Capricorn female, take her to dinner at the best restaurant in town and arrive in a limousine with flowers. Dress in your designer clothes, and be impeccable. Pinstripes and subtle scents arouse her. Be successful at whatever you are undertaking. Let her know about it. It's okay to tell her you made two million last year. Don't be cheap. Tell her you have been saving yourself for the right woman, and that you have been working your buns off to build your empire.

Tell her you need someone to share this big business burden with, and that your thoughts are about expanding your business. Hint that a woman would be perfect as a manager in your new expansion. She will be so intrigued, that she will offer you sound business suggestions. She is smart!

Capricorn females won't compete with you rather they'll help you climb the ladder. Don't forget about her. She loves expensive presents with thought behind them. Her little "black book" is filled with business appointments, not telephone numbers. Capricorn women are almost always successful in whatever they undertake. They don't take enough time to eat, so take her to lunch, dinner or your next corporate meeting. Business thrills them.
She may seem cold emotionally, but don't be fooled. She has sexual energies, looking for a release! She does not trust men entirely, so don't rush her, or you will be part of the homeless. She would be a great wife to a success-oriented man. She can entertain your clients and friends. Capricorn females can be boss in marriage too. Be prepared to be hen-pecked if you are thinking marriage."

I have been listening to Adele a lot. I love her voice....she sounds like an angel. So, Let's get to the nitty gritty. I think that I may have to talk to a head doctor...I think that there is something seriously wrong. All the men these days are turning gay. My British friend just told me like 10 minutes ago that he was gay. Well, when I was in Italy, I kissed them. Not only that, there is another guy at work that I was attracted to, but I know that he is gay. He is deeply in the pink closet and needs to come out. He likes my friend at work and the reason why I know that is because of his body language. Not only that, but other people at work thinks that as well. So, it is not just me. He told me friend that he likes him just as a friend. Right, maybe, as a friend with benefits. Well, he is going to have to come out sometime. Anyway, I don't feel bad marrying someone for their money. I am goldigger and proud!

Oh gosh, what can I say about the Italians from Italy....Not only did this Italian guy post a picture of an orgy on his facebook page, but Silvio Berlusconi is in trouble again!

ROME (AFP) – Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said Friday pictures of topless women and a naked man sunbathing at his villa were "innocent," but his lawyer vowed to sue a Spanish newspaper that published them. While Berlusconi's attorney threatened legal action against El Pais, former Czech prime minister Mirek Topolanek admitted that he was the man in the photo but charged that it had been doctored.
The explosive pictures were published on the eve of European Parliament elections in Italy, which could now serve as a test on the scandal's impact on Berlusconi's popularity. But the Italian leader, already engulfed in scandal over his wife's decision to divorce him and his links to an aspiring teenage model, insisted that the photos were "innocent."

"I am not frightened. These are innocent photos, there is no scandal, but there has been an aggressive intrusion into my private life," he said on Italian public radio.
"The photos show people bathing in a jacuzzi inside a private property, something party guests were invited to do," he added. The published pictures were among hundreds of photos that had been seized by Italian authorities after the premier filed a complaint to block their release, claiming they violated his right to privacy. "It's just not right for someone a kilometre away to interfere and start taking photos... The right to a private life must have greater protection when important guests are present," Berlusconi said.
One of the five photos published by El Pais shows the 72-year-old media mogul surrounded by several unidentified women -- in their clothes -- in the garden of his majestic villa in Sardinia.

Another shot features two women in string bikinis sunbathing topless, while another photo shows a naked man standing next to a woman laying next to a swimming pool. All the faces except Berlusconi's were blurred out. "It's me in the photograph. But it has been modified. The picture is not authentic," Topolanek was quoted as saying by the Czech news website <A href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/afp/wl_afp/storytext/italypoliticsberlusconispainpress/32265657/SIG=10k74fn6e.r{}

Now some things that I know about my husband. 

1) Christian
2) Tall and Skinny

So I was asleep today and I had to be in New York. Anyway, it just seemed as though when I saw him that the world had stopped. There were a hundred of people walking, but it seemed that I could only see him. He was bald, muscular, and he a big face like Vin Diesel, but not his nose. I went to a Tommy Hilfiger store, but it was not with him. It was with this black guy. I bought some pants for like $49.99 and then, there was this white girl. Not sure who she was, but I knew that I was very irate at her. She looked kinda like Cherlize Theron. I guess that God is trying to warn me about her. Anyway, that is all that I saw. It was a very clear dream, and I am hoping that he was my future husband. He was scrumptious.

Dating 101: Dealing With the Race Factor

I read some of the article, and it is interesting at best. It brings up a lot of factors that may effect interracial dating and marriage. Basically, I don't care. From my experiences, there are a lot of non-Christian men that are open to dating outside of their race than Christians. If someone cannot accept that my husband is white, then that is their problem. The same if someone has a problem with me being Afro-American or if someone has a problem with gay people. Ms. Linda told me to not even think about it. I really miss her. Anyway, in about 10 years, people will be more open and all this hoop la la is going to fade away......

A recent study on racial preferences of online daters provides some interesting findings. Based on profile-searching criteria set by singles using Yahoo! Personals, the UCI case study reveals that gender plays an important role in interracial preferences:
“Asian American men are the least preferred mate for Caucasian women”
Asian American men are the least preferred mate for Caucasian women, and African American women bear the brunt of discrimination from Caucasian men. UCI researchers say that "the stereotypical images of masculinity and femininity shape dating choices" and are a contributing factor.
The cross-cultural revolution is not going to be launched on the Internet dating scene, where people often follow racial stereotypes when looking for love, the researchers said.
In spite of these findings, there's always an exception to the norm, and I should know as an ABC (American-Born Chinese) who met and married another type of ABC (American Brazilian Caucasian -- yes, I just made that up). Like any couple we've had our ups and downs, but we've somehow managed to bond well for almost a decade.
For those of you involved with a date -- or mate -- of a different race, check out these obstacles of interracial dating and ways to overcome them.

Dating Obstacle #1. The Traditionalists
I've encountered several people who possess strong opinions about interracial dating: A South African told me that people should date within their own race; my Korean American friend found it inconceivable to betroth a white woman; some Asian guys I've met told me they loathe competing with white guys to woo Asian bachelorettes.
Yes, the resistance against interracial dating persists, even in the diverse San Francisco Bay Area where I live. You should consider that citizens in most U.S. states were legally banned from marrying outside of their race until 1967.
U.S. interracial couples in 2006
How do you cope?
Surround yourself with pals who tolerate diversity. As individuals, we have an innate desire to be understood; and as an interracial couple, the desire remains the same. You must learn to accept adversity and not let it influence your individual judgment. The acceptance you receive from a circle of friends strips away your sensitivity to snide comments that oppose your open dating preferences.

Dating Obstacle #2. The Stereotypes From Mass Media
Can you blame the TV producers and advertisers for playing it safe by catering to the majority? After all, they measure what appeals to a mass audience and go with what we're familiar with. It's no mystery that stereotyping the population is much easier than representing eclectic subgroups within our population. As an expected result of this, the general public absorbs oversimplified images of various ethnic groups -- and how they pair up -- in every media imaginable.
How do you cope?
Recognizing the biased reality of the media business in itself resolves much of the adverse impact of broadcasted stereotypes. Avoid "keeping up with the Joneses" and don't think you have to date like all the idealized couples the generic media fodder has fed you. Boil your beliefs down to what really matters to you, and you'll become stereotype-resistant.

Dating Obstacle #3. The Offensive Family Member
It happens: You'll attend a family gathering where your estranged uncle shows that he may not be as culturally enlightened as the rest of your family. The off-color jokes spew out of his mouth. He snickers. You're in shock. Your significant other is in shock. The tension builds while you attempt to cool the blood that boils within you.
How do you cope?
Realize that there may always be a family member, or friend, who has trouble thinking before uttering insensitive opinions or bluntly racist remarks. Prepare for these confrontations. Let that person know if you think his/her comments are offensive, and choose honest yet eloquent ways to respond. Practice what you'll say and when you'll say it -- so when the situation happens, you won't let your emotions get the best of you. If this person is worth dealing with, he/she will respect your straightforwardness.
Silence will only prolong the issue. Share your thoughts to show that you care about how you interact with everyone, and vice versa. This is not the time to be shy. Demand respect. You deserve it.

Dating Obstacle #4. The Gazers
I know. It gets old. Not everybody is used to seeing an interracial couple. People will stare at you. They may even display a frown or a furrowed brow.

How do you cope?
Ignore the natural response of attempting to read their minds. Who knows what they're thinking when they stare: Maybe they admire you two as a couple, or they like your threads, or they just haven't seen your "kind" before, or they're waiting for you two to show some affection so they can label you as a couple rather than friends. It's pointless to keep wondering. Instead, imagine you're a celebrity. In fact, you are. You might well be the spectacle of the day for them. Thrive and celebrate your uniqueness. These public encounters add flavor to the otherwise bland experiences of their lives. You're simply desensitizing them to the notion of colorblind dating. Sooner or later, they won't look twice ... because they've seen it before.

Isn’t it unjust for the Christian ethic to deny the sexual experiences and fulfillment to single people that married people enjoy? 


It isn’t the “Christian ethic” that “denies the sexual experiences and fulfillment to single people that married people enjoy.” It is reality. The Bible and the Christian ethic are based on physiological and psychological fact. Single people engaging in sex can’t possibly experience the same things that married people are capable of experiencing, either in terms of personal pleasure or fulfillment. What they experience is different and destructive, and the Bible rightfully warns of its destructiveness.
The Scriptures make it clear that sexual intimacy is not something to be entered into lightly. (See the ATQ: Why shouldn’t sex be casual and “just for fun”?) Because the natural design of sexual intimacy is to mold two individual people in their physical, emotional, and spiritual entirety into “one flesh,” the uncommitted sexual intimacy of two single people can never be like the sexual experience and fulfillment married people are capable of enjoying. Seeking sexual intimacy outside of its appropriate context of a long-term, committed relationship is like an unscrupulous athlete trying to substitute performance-enhancing drugs for discipline and training. Uncommitted sexual experiences only distort the real meaning of sexual fulfillment. One-bodiedness (genuine sexual intimacy—see Genesis 2:24 ) can only occur in the context of lifelong love. Contemporary cultural circumstances have confused the purpose of sex. Contraception has separated sex from its natural purpose in conception, childbearing, parenting, and family bonding. The identification of sexual “liberation” with pornography and promiscuity along with a cultural relativism that assumes the equality of all sexual behavior have contributed to unprecedented rates of divorce, family instability, and social problems. Regardless of the cultural circumstances, Scripture declares that sexual love symbolizes God’s love for us (Ephesians 5:25-33 ). Our fallen nature has resulted in our misusing sex for selfish purposes (lust, power, etc.). Sexuality is linked to a long-term—even eternal—purpose, and requires commitment to that purpose.
It does not matter what the two people . . . have in mind. . . . The reality of the act, unfelt and unnoticed by them, is this: It unites them—body and soul—to each other. It unites them in that strange, impossible to pinpoint sense of “one flesh.” There is no such thing as casual sex, no matter how casual people are about it. The Christian assaults reality in his night out at the brothel. He uses a woman and puts her back in a closet where she can be forgotten; but the reality is that he has put away a person with whom he has done something that was meant to inseparably join them. This is what is at stake for Paul in the question of sexual intercourse between unmarried people.
And now we can see clearly why Paul thought sexual intercourse by unmarried people was wrong. It is wrong because it violates the inner reality of the act; it is wrong because unmarried people thereby engage in a life-uniting act without a life-uniting intent. Whenever two people copulate without a commitment to life-union, they commit fornication.* (Lewis Smedes, Sex for Christians, rev. ed. [Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1994], pp. 109-10.)
*Fornication is a strong, scriptural word. But the intent of the word is not merely to condemn, but to warn. (Back To Article)
