Abusing Choice

I was watching the Tyra show this morning. Her new "WTF" (Web Tyra Show Feedback-not "What The F***") segment was on and a black man was defending his dating choice of dating only white women. He says they give fewer attitudes and are easier to deal with if a man doesn't come home at night. A white woman was offended by this and told him that-white, black, or whatever you are-a woman is a woman and a person should date not because of color, but because of personality, etc. He fought back saying that he was just using the free choice that he is given by living in America (First Amendment ring a bell anyone?).

So is he right? Because you live in America you can choose who you date because some types of people are fool proof?

I guess technically he is right, but morally he is wrong.

It comes down to if you have a heart or not. Abuse your rights to the point where you're stretching them thin as paper or use your rights to live an honest life? Is that why Americans are free?-to be able to make wrong choices and not face consequences? I doubt it.
