    Default Racism is still a big problem in the US, but this trend offers some hope

    (CNN) A White judge tells an interracial couple that "Almighty God" placed the races on different continents because he "did not intend for the races to mix."

    A US Senator writes a book about the dangers of interracial unions called, "Take Your Choice: Separation or Mongrelization."

    A White father is so disgusted after reading a magazine article on interracial marriage that he writes a letter to the editor saying if his daughter even thought of marrying a Black man, "I would personally kill her and then myself."

    These are soundbites from an earlier era, when most White Americans were repulsed by the idea of interracial marriage. It was a time when White judges and politicians talked openly about protecting the "purity and integrity of the white race" and the evils of "race-mixing" and miscegenation -- a pejorative term for intimate relations between people of different races.

    That all began to change in June of 1967 when the US Supreme Court unanimously struck down an anti-miscegenation law in the Loving v. Virginia case. The case concerned the marriage between a white man, Richard Loving, and his wife, Mildred Jeter, a woman of Black and Native American ancestry.

    YES, RACISM IS STILL A PROBLEM IN THE US ,WITH RACE-O-CRATS HYSTERICALLY TRYING TO CONTINUE MURDERING MILLIONS OF BLACK AND HISPANIC BABIES IN THE WOMB.

    BLACKS ARE LESS THAN 15% OF THE POPULATION, BUT HAVE 40% of THE ABORTIONS = MARGARET SANGERS EUGENICS NIGHTMARE MADE REAL.


    WHY DO RACE-O-CRATS SO DESPERATELY NEED TO MURDER BLACK AND BROWN BABIES?

    OK, the hope part is in the popular approval of interracial marriage, which has happened despite all this other hatred.

    ""You can dehumanize people when they are just abstract concepts to you," she says. "Affirmative action, voting rights—these are issues that you can depersonalize. But you can't depersonalize your cousin's husband at the barbecue who asks you to pass the ketchup. It's hard to dismiss or take a stance against love when it's in your face.""

    Maybe it’s a boomer thing, and I understand the history of America, but it’s interesting that people still talk about inter racial marriage only in terms of white and black, as if the millions of Hispanics, Asians, Indians etc don’t live in this country and don’t inter marry themselves - or with white and black people.

    It’s an interesting argument to say those who don’t necessarily support the lowering of standards ala affirmative action are deemed to be dehumanizing others.

    That is not what I quoted. The point is not that 'everyone in this one box is doing this one thing.' It is that haters may take one view when it is someone they know personally, but all those other people of color who are not known to the hater produce a different response.

    When put on the spot racists can accept a family member of color, but they still don't want their children going to a school that has too many of them.

    Not P.C. to state but some of the most beautiful women come from racial mixes. Put that at the top of the list of the benefits of people marrying regardless of background
