mtngypsy828: hey, hey, no reason to be upset. When I read your post I did not think it was racist. But when I see a show, or article or Internet article that makes a broad statement like that, I have questions, like:

What percentage of those premature births were to women who had little or no prenatal care?
What percentage of those births were to families living in poverty?
Define "mixed race." Was it black/white, black/Asian, Hispanic/Black and what percentage of each type of mixed race babies were in the survey?
How many of the mothers smoked? (also a huge factor in premature birth and low birth weight.)
How many of the mothers were malnourished or underweight?
How many of the mothers used alcohol and/or drugs?

You see, if you factor all those things out, and have a control group of non-mixed race parents of each race involved in the study group, you can make the conclusion (maybe) that premature babies are more common in mixed race couples. But you have to compare equal apples to other equal apples, and I have seen very few tv shows, even documentaries, that take the time to do this. I'm not saying you are a racist, or wrong, but that all of us need to think a bit when we get information from the mass market which surprises us.

RillyNiceGuy: A man and some women of many nationalities who had slaves or a domanance over someone else non slave would ride up to the house and honk for a female or male to come get in the vehicle.....this could be for the purpose of work or taking sexual advantage of thier position (as did many black overseers did also to their fellows). To call me a Honkie" is to call me a person who would take advantage of others in many vile ways. I would be offended. They would be racially judging me as one of those people only because I am white (Cherokee and Apachie Indian, Scott Irish, English, German.)

It looks like those who have been judged would know better than to judge......but we have only begun to swap places is all.

Peace!

In response to: My daughter wanted to go back to the Mormon Church as we went there when she was a child. We have not gone for 6 years, but the missionaries came by the house and now we are taking the lessons again. They say they are the only true church on the face of the earth as they only hold all the priesthood blessings.

They do believe in Jesus and that he is our salvation. Is that enough or do they really lead us astray.

I need to know seriously what people think why they are not the true church as I have to make a decision if I really want to go back.

Series answers only please.
