Thankfully in less then a generation these "people" will be long gone or totally marginalized


Despite the fact that the number of interracial marriages in the U.S. reached an all-time high this year, there are many who still believe that mixed-race marriage is unacceptable and should be made illegal, according to a new report.

On Monday, polling firm Public Policy Polling (PPP) revealed that 29 percent of likely GOP voters surveyed in Mississippi believe that interracial marriage should be illegal. Fifty-four percent said intermarriage should remain legal, and the rest responded that they weren’t sure. The survey also found that 21 percent of likely GOP voters polled in Alabama believe that interracial marriage should be illegal.

All they need to do is pull out the old religious reason and they are golden.

I'm betting there are an equal number of black Democrats against interracial marriage, fool.

The message seems to be that Southerners and Republicans are racist. Are states that are in the North of the country and largely vote for the Democratic Party really so open-minded and tolerant?

Here is a recent article with a critic of one such Northern state published the Huffington Post:

"Nowadays, New York state is home to the nation’s most segregated schools.


“For several decades, the state has been more segregated for blacks than any Southern state, though the South has a much higher percent of African American students,” wrote the authors of a report from the UCLA Civil Rights Project in 2014.


For Delmont, that statistic is less than surprising.


“When you actually dig into it, some of the language is different and some of the ways in which they achieved segregation of schools is different, but the outcomes were often not very different than what was going on in the South,” he said."

The South Isn't The Reason Schools Are Still Segregated, New York Is

Really fool? Where are you getting that from? And so what if it's true? Intolerance by anyone is still intolerance and it does not exonerate these southern yahoos who do not know that they lost the civil war.

People have a right to believe as they do, and that includes being intolerant.

Grow up.

BTW, it was the Democrats who lost the Civil War, and will lose the next one as well.

The message seems to be that Southerners and Republicans are racist.? Yes that is the message and it's accurate. Currently only 4% of the 6% of the adult population in the US are opposed to interracial marriage

In 1958-SEP, a Gallup poll revealed that only 4% of American adults favored allowing interracial couples to marry! 94% were opposed! 12
The battle over inter-racial marriage in the U.S.

While the article posted by the OP that 21 percent of likely GOP voters polled in Alabama believe that interracial marriage should be illegal.

Now, of course that is not a direct comparison, but we know that the Republican population of the difference between the Republican population of the north vs. the south is not skewed to that extent.

Of course there is racism and segregation in the north. But the segregation that is seen today in the north is for complex reasons and does not reflect the same level of the attitudes that persist in the south. You presentation of the situation in NY in the 50's is a thinly disguised attempt to discredit the point of the OP and it's not working.

Yes you have a right to your bigoted antediluvian bovine excrement beliefs. You do not have the right to discriminate, marginalize or demean others. And save that idiotic civil war era "Democrats as racist" horseshit. It is just desperate and stupid. That was then and this is now and we know what the Republicans stand for NOW

I'm from New York. Hardly a "southern yahoo".

You do not have the right to discriminate, marginalize or demean others.

Oh, I certainly do, and I exercise the right every day. You cannot stop me.

You do as well, re: "Southern yahoo".

And save that idiotic civil war era "Democrats as racist" horseshit. It is just desperate and stupid. That was then and this is now and we know what the Republicans stand for NOW

That works both ways, Comrade. A Progressive cannot be an American patriot. They are diametrically opposed.

If anyone is going to claim that the south is not still a bastion of racism, including opposition to interracial marriage, I urge them to ask themselves....what region is proving to be the most resistant to same sex marriage and to then consider this: Gay Marriage Opponents Mimic Objections to Interracial Marriage, Forde-Mazrui Says
