| 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.
