Bro. George...this is a sign of the times. This abomination was predicted when the devil buffed God by saying that he would use everything to entice the black children of slaves to stay with him and not return to GOD. It is coincident with a heightened " lack of self love " among Black Americans. Where I live, much violence in the black neighborhoods with less in the white neighborhoods. When there is a rise of black love then we would see a reduction in interracial marriages.
My divine work to deliver Black Americans to Africa will interact with this issue in a big way; No interracial couples will be allowed to be a part of the divine movement to establish land in Africa. Allah(God) seeks to destroy interracial couples with a double chastisement which in my opinion is exactly what both deserve.
Good observation !

Interesting. Thanks, George.
I read an article the other day about a new study the Pew Research Center on racial intermarriage finding empirical data marking new trends. I think your data comes from the same study.
Some interesting points:
Black-white unions make up 1 in 60 new marriages today, compared with fewer than 1 in 1,000 back when Barack Obama’s parents wed a half-century ago.
According to the article, “The increased rate of intermarriage reflects demographic changes in the American population — a more diverse pool of available spouses — as well as changing social mores. They may presage a redefinition of America’s evolving concepts of race and ethnicity.”
“The lines dividing these groups are getting blurrier and blurrier,” said Jeffrey S. Passel, an author of the Pew analysis.
More insight from the article:
“Of the 2.7 million American children with a black parent, about 10 percent also have one nonblack parent today. Because many mixed-race African- Americans still choose to identify as being black — as Mr. Obama did when he filled out the 2010 census — the number of multiracial African-Americans could actually be higher.
“How children of the expanding share of mixed marriages identify themselves — and how they are identified by the rest of society — could blur a benchmark that the nation will approach within a few decades when American Indian, Asian, black and Hispanic Americans and people of mixed race become a majority of the population.
“More precise estimates of the number of people who identify themselves as mixed race will be available from the 2010 census. Other census estimates found a 32 percent increase in the mixed-race population (to 5.2 million, from 3.9 million) from 2000 to 2008.
“The Pew analysis found that among newly married couples, 14.6 percent were mixed in 2008, compared with 11.2 percent in 2000 and 8.3 percent in 1990. (Among all people currently married, 8 percent of marriages were mixed in 2008, compared with 6.8 percent in 2000 and 4.5 percent in 1990.)
“Of all 3.8 million adults who married in 2008, 31 percent of Asians, 26 percent of Hispanic people, 16 percent of blacks and 9 percent of whites married a person whose race or ethnicity was different from their own. Those were all record highs.”
ALL RECORD HIGHS.
The trend is clearly moving toward a universal acceptance of all humanity as one human family. The willingness of different ethnic groups to take one another as marriage partners has never been greater—and it is moving that way at an ever accelerating rate.
Question: Is this an alarming trend? Or is it a healthy development?
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
