Ian Johnson and Chrissy Popadics Marry Despite Threats

Is this really happening in 2007???

Johnson, who is black, has said he received phone calls and about 30 letters, including personal threats from people who objected to his plans to marry his white fiancee. Johnson has not described the threats, and it is unclear where they came from.

Ridiculous!

Congratulations Ian and Chrissy. May you have a long life together, filled with love.

   People are so stupid. Whats the big deal about a black man and a white woman marrying? It is obviously a strong case of fate. There is absolutely not sense of intelligence when people make stupid comments such as the ones presented to Ian. I fully respect those two individuals and support their marriage. May they last forever!

   A person can't help whom they fall in love with, and a person shouldn't be punished for that love.

   Is it any wonder that the threats likely came from residents of Idaho? I mean, the people aren't exactly the brightest in the nation.

   Hey who cares if the guy wants a white chick for a woman? I'm just glad he's not gay. Personally, I hope the guy keeps his health and happiness as the years progress. After all the guy crochets, he seems like an ok guy to me. Just the same Ian, if you see this- keep your head down. There are more bad people in these times than good. Good luck to you and yours.
