GOP Senator Said SCOTUS Should Never Have Legalized Interracial Marriage

Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) told reporters the issue should’ve been left up to the states, then later insisted he “misunderstood” the line of questioning.

WTF?

What century are these people living in?

I shouldn't have married a Scot then?

He'd have kittens here as there's a lot of interracial marriage going back a hell of a long way.

Unfortunately the racism is deep in these people.

Here in the USA interracial marriage was only legalized nationally in 1967. It was legal in some states before that, such as California in 1948. In 1960 interracial marriage was forbidden by law in 31 U.S. states. Most of the laws in the US dealt with Whites marrying blacks, but some also included whites marrying Chinese, Native American and other 'race categories' as they claimed them

There were some unusual exceptions in some states... and strange classifications.

Pennsylvania allowed interracial marriage from 1780 onward, for example, and New Orleans allowed such from 1815 onward. Massachusetts from 1843 onwards.

Connecticut, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Vermont, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Alaska, Hawaii, and the District of Columbia never enacted laws preventing interracial marriage.

There were also weird ways of categorizing people as to their racial status. Southern Italians & Sicilians were in the old south and certain other states were classified as Black or Mixed blood.

So anyway, my guess is this idiot "Conservative" knew exactly what he was saying (and he was born in 1954) and is a racist as well. He is now pretending it was a "States Rights" issue, something the twisted "sons of the south" always pull out when they want to do something that violates the Spirit or Letter of the Constitution to allow them to discriminate.

The bigotry and racism is bad enough, but it drives me insane when they say exactly what the mean, and then when they are called out on try to back pedal.
OWN YOUR RACISM BIGOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
