11. "Does it really matter?" you ask . . . try this on for size:

Some States had State laws that forbade authorized persons from marrying bi-racial couples. Those bi-racial couples couldn't get marriage licenses, either. So you are saying "frig-em" since they could go to some other State or country for a marriage ceremony.

Uuuummmm??? I sure am glad that the United States Supreme Court read, analyzed and interpreted our federal constitution then ruled that all across America miscegenation was illegal. Minority rights against the majority are protected in our U.S. constitution. The tyranny of the majority cannot cower the minority. Yup. Thank goodness for those damn "activist judges," huh?

The case is: Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1 (1967) . . . I suggest that you read it.
