No it wasn't. Mommy is still coming home at night.

Maybe, maybe not. Daddy isn't the only one that can step out. Regardless the power structure has changed.

And No, I do not wish to go round and round with you for the next 10 pages...been there,,,it's a zero sum game.

Start your thread about religious discrimination and make a point we can talk about. You have not made any point - so you can't "confirm" a point you did not make. Otherwise there was nothing intelligent which deserves a response- you apparently do not understand that skin color is not a choice but practicing a religion is; or you do understand and you are being an a$$.

By the way- when you are typing and a little red line appears under the word- IT'S MISSPELLED. You don't need to know how to spell- and it's obviously not a strong point of yours- you just need to be able to see the red line. If you can't figure out how to spell it- then google the word and google will show you the proper spelling.

What WON'T disrupt things? Everything does. It won't stay at "leave it to Beaver" forever. That structure is gone for the most part.

This went on for a century or two, and the Jim Crow era was not exactly a new day in all ways.

Your splitting hairs on the word black regarding the albinos you pictured is on the edge of obnoxious, sorry to tell you. Not sure why you're so obsessed with the issue. Regarding the incident that you described in the OP, I'd go with the advice of Lao Tzu:

He who is wise keeps silent, he who advises is a fool.

A bit of irony here as I'm giving advice just by saying it. Somehow it seems different in this setting, that is, anonymous and at some distance.

Please define "black".
Here's one- To be considered black in the United States not even half of one's ancestry must be African black. But will one-fourth do, or one-eighth, or less? The nation's answer to the question 'Who is black?" has long been that a black is any person with any known African black ancestry. This definition reflects the long experience with slavery and later with Jim Crow segregation. In the South it became known as the "one-drop rule,'' meaning that a single drop of "black blood" makes a person a black. It is also known as the "one black ancestor rule," some courts have called it the "traceable amount rule," and anthropologists call it the "hypo-descent rule," meaning that racially mixed persons are assigned the status of the subordinate group. ...

By this definition my whole family is black; and far more people are "black" than anyone thinks.

Are you saying Irish families were not "disrupted" during the potato famine and again when it appeared it would return in 1879?

Obnoxious? Really? It's a simple point that "black" people don't have to have a dark skin color; or look "black" to you. Something tells me you think that all "black" people are, um... black!
I submit that categorizing people by race is subjective to each individual person- who chooses to categorize them. You CAN choose to not do this.
