March 7, 2007 Statements that miscegenation destroys every race that practices it are mistaken. In fact, miscegenation or race mixing emphasizes a commitment to compromise and compassion for all humankind. Critics advocate that allies of miscegenation jeopardize religious fundamentals, such as a Christian 's posterity or a Muslim 's forgiveness. Critics also challenge the excessive amount of propaganda that favors miscegenation arguing that these tactics of acceptance are intensified by media exposure but not morally acceptable. While it is true that the media exposes a great deal of tolerance for miscegenation and do so within legal boundaries, Christians and Muslims have strong belifes in their faith and opposition on miscegenation. Regardless there are millions of people who deny this opposition and feel that their beliefs and compassion supersede the stance and seek to persuade people to look past their prejudices and consider the broader affect of miscegenation. By do that Americans can display their morals in the true form of freedom, in which collective values, rather than separate interpretations will represent the highest supremacy.
By definition miscegenation is the interbreeding of different races or of persons of different racial backgrounds. It is the cohabitation, sexual relations, or marriage involving persons of different races.(Webster). miscegenation marriages have a difficult fence to climb, to include prejudice of others and the innate problems of cultural pressure already embedded in a marriage. miscegenation marriages enrich society and thus the parent of birracial children just want what any other parent wants, happiness for their children. Incidentally these children will have the benefit of two cultures and hopefully the strength to stand for their cultural differences and confidence in their moral
