ok, now I think you are just messing with me.
A ban on interracial marriage is bad. Should never have happened, but did, by government. It was a bad racially motivated law. You think there are good racially motivated laws and I disagree. I like to think the color of your skin does not determine your worth.
Blacks and whites fought side by side in the revolutionary war. Somewhere along the line, the government decided arming darkie might not be a good idea. Again, government made segregation not only accepted, but encouraged.
Look now how you worship Obama and whatever he says or does is correct. There have been people like you throughout history who need to be told what to think by government. Those people believed (back then) that blacks were not a whole man because by God our laws tell us so. Those govangelicals today feel that while blacks are a whole man, they are still at a disadvantage because of their skin color.
