Consider that 70 percent of whites now say they approve of marriage between whites and blacks, up from just 4 percent in a 1958 Gallup poll. Such open-mindedness extends across racial lines: 80 percent of blacks and 77 percent of Hispanics also said they generally approve of interracial marriage. Perhaps even more remarkable, a large majority of white respondents\u201466 percent\u2014say they would not object if their own child or grandchild chose a black spouse. Blacks (86 percent) and Hispanics (79 percent) were equally accepting about a child or grandchild&#8217;s marrying someone of another race.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Link courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newamericandimensions.com\/BLOGS.html\">Thomas Tseng<\/a>.
