| Fathers Who Reject
Daughters Because Of Their Husband’s Race
Did you know that the FBI recently reported 70
current investigations of threats to prominent
interracial couples? Though the number of interracial
relationships in our country is increasing, intolerance
still exists among those who don’t accept
the mixing of different races. Today’s guests
desperately want their family members to accept
their mates – find out what happened below:
Before today’s show, Stacy’s father
Johnny and husband Jason had never met face-to-face.
Why? Johnny is vehemently against interracial
marriage and says he can’t be involved
in Stacy’s life if Jason is a part of it.
Stacy is dismayed that her formerly close relationship
with her father has disintegrated, but has made
it clear that she cherishes and values Jason.
Larry acknowledged that it is unlikely that Johnny
will change his outlook overnight, but urged
Johnny to simply consider putting his prejudices
aside and embracing his daughter’s choice.
