Is is better to be mixed race?

Gert, her character in Bomaw - is based on someone I actually knew - who was so much like Gert. I loved her - I loved her way of thinking. It was unspoiled - untouched by any prejudices - she didn't see superiorities in anyone, and the crazy thing is, if she did - being white herself - she always pointed out that to her, the black man was the superior template that all men should be built upon. She would say such things and didn't care who was around to hear it. LOL - and as I told Laz about her, it sparked off a discussion on the various things we noticed ourselves about people who were the product of high concentrations of black or white.

The discussions primary focus was on health, fitness, ability and disease. Before this documentary you're about to see came out - he and I - my husband and I - Lawrence James and Mercedes Keyes had already had an in-depth back and forth on our theories - based on "Gert's" ideas about man, mixing - or staying with ones "own kind" or - bringing in new blood.

Channel 4 - with is a British television station - featured this article - http://www.channel4.com/programmes/is-it-better-to-be-mixed-race/articles/is-it-better-to-be-mixed-race - it you are in the U.S. and by some chance, this video does not play for you, by all means, check out the above link. It is a very interesting study - and it is being studied by the way, the advantages that is, of ones parents being from two totally different cultures/races - they are beginning to see, and coming to terms with the fact that such children, are often - stronger, healthier, more balanced, of quick intelligence and talents - and often times, stunning in their looks. But the primary thing - is health and disease - the mix seems to cut out some of the common noted frailties belonging to a group or race of people. It's very interesting and this appears to be only part one - with more to come surrounding it.

Anyway... if you can watch it, do so - I'm certain you'll enjoy it -or- at the very least, find it interesting - Laz and I sure did.

Please - we would love to read your opinions or thoughts on the matter!
