In reply to the discussion: So what will happened when Loving v. Virginia (1967, 388 U.S. 1) comes before SCOTUS? [View all]JustAnotherGen

This has stuck with me since 2016:
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-02-22/trump-won-south-carolina-because-the-legacy-of-slavery-still-controls-politics-in-the-south-says-harvard-and-stanford-study
Despite the states projecting an air of healing and harmony, however, these events may have actually driven white voters to the candidate who makes the most racist remarks, Trump. Public Policy Polling noted that 70 percent of Trumps supporters in South Carolina want the Confederate flag back up, while 38 percent wish the South won the Civil War.
That 38% probably exists in every GOP controlled state - with 10-15% of enablers on top of that. Jesus juice or something?
I look at this as the PRODUCT of a mix race marriage whose parents met in 1967 -
Never. Ever. Ever. Forever. Ever. Trust white racists. Never. And the GOP is the party of White Supremacy.
Do not put anything past them.
There are enough of 'us' - be it black/white, asian/white, hispanic/black, etc. etc. that putting the fear of these people in us -
Will have us running to the polls.
Never. ever. ever. Forever. Ever. Trust a white supremacist.

OP
Most likely, no state is going to enact legislation banning interracial marriage

You are so right. And, frankly, Black people have saved this nation again and again.

With gerrymandering and voter suppression, there are certainly states where it would happen.
