Loving v Virginia should be overturned
The Supreme Court has also consistently ruled that gays don't have equal protection in respect to their relationship choices either; legally speaking, homosexuality is a choice, as gays still have the right to heterosexual relationships.
the state has no right to prohibit miscegenation imo
thats actually a good point lol
its getting weirder and weirder with regards to discrimination laws
what do you mean the state has no right?
There's also the point that separating marriage from reproduction while simultaneously doing it on a basis other than the equal protection clause lays the groundwork for forced legalization of cousin marriage and incest nationwide.
the state has no right to interfere with an individual's life such that he cannot marry who he chooses as long as it is a mutually consenting marriage
_Loving_ is stupid because it literally uses the phrase "white supremacy" to justify itself.
^
and also the famous Brown v Board of Education
wdym
im ok with brown so long as it applies to public schools
Hi ok with brown so long as it applies to public schools, I'm Dad!
i dont support segregation but a private school should be able to do it
and wait maybe im just being daft but why is using the phrase white supremacy stupid?
Because it's a Supreme Court decision mainly
That is not a lawful reason lol
and?
that is an opinion
Hi looking this up hold on, I'm Dad!
ill read this for myself
"There is patently no legitimate overriding purpose independent of invidious racial discrimination which justifies this classification. The fact that Virginia prohibits only interracial marriages involving white persons demonstrates that the racial classifications must stand on their own justification, as measures designed to maintain White Supremacy. "
this part?
I would believe so
ok looks like thats the part of the opinion with that term
There are two.
But regardless it applies to two races, and uses racially neutral wording.
the law u mean?
Correct.
lemme look that up too
most laws against race mixing was not just blacks, most were just non whites in general
ye i get that
and this only happened in the South
well yeah southern attitudes were and are different from the north lol
lemme read up on the law itself
A lot of blacks, including Muhammad Ali, also supported anti-miscegenation laws.
yep
ok so as i understand it the idea is that white people can only marry within their race
yep
