Loving Day 2020

I am not into mixed marriages personally. I have had several long term relationships involving persons as close to "my existence" as I could for reasons that are simply attraction in nature.

However, I think if that if your interests are more exotic and your attraction is someone whose existence is divergent or even opposite of your then it should be your right to pursue any manner of relationship you might deem appropriate.

When I was a kid there was a supreme court decision toward that end and the concept of "miscegenation" which is the interbreeding of people considered to be of different racial types.
 

I really don't fully understand the issues of the times which were notions of Jimmy Carter's 'ethnic purity' pursuasion and they were by and large passe by the early 1980s - 1990s.

Loving Day is an annual celebration held on June 12 marking the the anniversary of the 1967 United States Supreme Court decision Loving v Virginia which struck down all anti-miscegenation laws remaining in those state in which they remained on the books.

The initiating couple were Mildred Jeter Loving who was a black woman, and Richard Loving, who was a white man.

Subsequent claims have been made by Mrs Loving's grandson that she was not a black woman, but a Native American.

They met when he was 17 and she was 11 so they were childhood sweethearts by my recollection.

No mixed race couple should have been forced to a supreme court case to marry and live happily.

This is the United States after all, you know ... life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness despite what the democrats might think to the contrary.

Why would we care that somebody loves somebody else?
