That's absurd.
So - yes - just as there are many bigoted women who would abort a gay child, there are bigots who would rather kill their white daughters than see them screwing a Negro...or ever worse - bearing a half-breed high yellow grandkid.
Bigotry is bigotry. It's never pretty.
And you're a shining example of it. | And surely you don't think that it's not a natural human desire to have another child like yourself and not be born with something that you consider unnatural. Racism by people who were forced to live with people that were brought over here as livestock is pretty much expected. But for a mother to consider the child that she bore for 9 months defective because of deformity or illness is pretty much constant across racial, cultural, and for that matter species lines.
The racism suffered by blacks and for that matter American Indians in this country was created artificially by the very racists that perpetrated it. I guess that was to be expected from a people that also couldn't get along among themselves for a while there. Italian, Irish, German, Polish etc were all different too and had their own "racist" past with each other.
But no black mother will be perplexed that her child is born black.
And as for a father killing their daughter or son for marrying a black person, that's still different from having a gay child. Dating a black person is a choice. From what I understand, being gay isn't. And your example works for any number of interracial, intercultural, and interreligious combinations.
Whereas sodomy laws were universal until recently. And the instinctive aversion to "gay" is pretty much constant throughout the human species. That ain't bigotry, that's the instinct to avoid aberrant behavior and people.
Although I do thoroughly enjoy your curious racial analogies between only black and white. As if that were the only racial issue in this country. Either you are a racist or just not all that familiar with our history.
