You said in some parts of the United States, they still want interracial marriage to be illegal. I'm asking you which parts of the United States still want interracial marriage to be illegal.

So you're not going to answer my question? Give me specific names of the areas or states that you're talking about please.

That's just it. Olive CAN'T give you specifics because it's different in each state. Different for each area within each state, even. I would venture to guess that it's predominantly the south, although I have friends in inter-racial relationships who live up north and out west who still face prejudices. I live in Tennessee. Nashville to be specific. My city is pretty progressive and liberal these days but just one or two counties away, we have bigoted government officials and very narrow minded citizens who still have the mentality of "whites with whites" and "blacks with blacks". Just like their bigoted mentality of marriage being between "one man and one woman".

So when Olive said there are "some parts" that wish it was still illegal, that's what she meant. "SOME parts". It's different for every state. There's no way to give specific names. Not sure what your point is for asking for those names, as that's not the point of this post.

[olive]

Not sure what your point is for asking for those names, .

i know what it is :eek:

but everything you said is pretty much spot on

[WatchChain]

You are spot on, OLIVE. So true, so true.

Everyone just always assumes it's the south. Trust, there are a lot of racist pigs here but we aren't all that way....... Just like we all don't live in the hills, depending on public assistance and have no teeth.

I am in an inter racial gay relationship. Thank goodness I live in Los Angeles.

When I was little we had an elderly neighbor, not particularly religious, who felt the races should definitely not mix. My brother had a white friend who was going to marry a black man in the military and she was very upset about it. It was just something fundamental is all she could say. She was married to a man who played the organ in movie theaters before the talking pictures! :laugh:
