LOL, no, and i really am quite normal looking to boot! if you take a look at my website ( cuddleinternational.org), you'll see a slideshow of photos. i have two of me on there, the fifth and tenth pictures. but you'll notice that the vast majority of the couples shown appear quite normal and intelligent... we're just like anybody else, really! |

okay , kewl. I asked cause cousin marriage is still taboo within black community. A former schoolmate of mine was "excommunicated" by her family because she had a child by her cousin.

one of my daughter's half sisters (one of the many babies he made that i didnt find out about until after i left him) is actually her cousin.. in other words.. he slept with his 2nd or 3rd cousin.. and yes kah he is negroe  But of course- like many of his other children- he denied and still denies it.. i dont necessarily, in his case, think it was because of the taboo in the black community though because he dies several of his kids that he didnt have with a cousin.. but i do agree that there are things accepted in the white community that still just aint kosher in the black community.. one thing off topic.. i find that black people are more accepting of interacial relationships than white people.. for those who don't know i am multi-racial (daddy is white and momma is black/white/asian) |

it's still not kosher among much of anyone... the taboo is pretty strong. except of course the muslim communities, because cousin marriage is still the preferred pairing over in the middle east! of course, if they had the freedom to fight for their rights (if they had any rights to speak of,), i think they'd probably fight for their right NOT to marry a cousin. i honestly have only known one black cousin couple though. lots of whites and hispanic couples, but the societal and cultural prejudice seems to be a pretty universal obstacle, at least here in america.

All the original settlers followed Jebediah Springfield and half of them was under the impression that it was so they could marry their cousins without fear of persecution. It was a play on the Mormon settlers leaving for Utah so they could practice polygamy. When Jebediah said no cousin-marrying half of them split and followed this dude Shelby across the way and started Shelbyville.
