There are some really, really loud people who would call me a race-traitor for the "miscegenation." That it would put an end to my genetic line. That any children would never be able to get organ or bone-marrow transplants.

I'm in my 40s. I have no children. I've made a ton of mistakes in my life, learning my lessons far too late. Much of the time I spend here is to attempt to prevent others from repeating my own mistakes.

It may be too late for me.

But if I find myself a loving, loyal, devoted woman with an IQ around my own, I'm not going to reject her just because she's black.

Perfect is the enemy of good. There's a lesson we all should learn.
