Once I scan the citation in, I&#8217;ll post it online.  Also, colleague <a href=\"http:\/\/racerelations.about.com\">Kimberly Hohman<\/a> has published her first book, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/1556524676\/themultiracialacA\/\">The Colors of Love: The Black Person&#8217;s Guide to Interracial Relationships<\/a>, with a nice mention of my wife and I (on page 43).  Although we come from different political perspectives and don&#8217;t fully share the same opinion on many issues, I admire Kim&#8217;s steadfastness of purpose and willingness to challenge the PC crowd on both the Left and the Right with regards to issues of interest to &#8220;interracial&#8221; families and &#8220;multiracial&#8221; individuals.  Not many lefties are willing to challenge the PC crowd on issues of self-identification rights, particularly with regards to the hideous &#8220;one-drop rule.&#8221;  Kim is an obvious exception.<\/p>\n<p>I think that now makes five books in which I&#8217;ve been quoted or mentioned (that I know about).  I know of several more in production that I participated in via interviews and research, one of which I&#8217;ll probably get skewered in for not going along to get along with the more apologetic lefties in the &#8220;multiracial&#8221; movement.
