Pappy, I live in Little Rock, AR and I have to say, I don't see it much anymore. I know I am half your age, and I had mixed kids in school with me, no body paid it any attention, my senior year, 3 girls had mixed kids and not many people batted an eye. I have been off the porch, I have a brother that works in one of the most notiriously back-woods schools in Arkansas, and he says even there the mixed kids are just part of the crowd. I have been a foster parent to two mixed kids, no body said a word to me, or my sister in law, who has a mixed daughter. She dated a black guy for years and they eventually got married, but it didn't work because he is not a decent human being, it has no part in his color. I don't live where you do, and you don't live here with us, but I can say, today, things are looking better than ever before.
