Political Games - Where the fuck’s the reset button?

For those who deny the similarities:

“Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red and he placed them on separate continents,” wrote a Virginia appeals court judge as late as 1965. “The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix.” Not only was intermarriage considered anti-Christian, it was deemed morally repugnant. “Intermarriage between whites and blacks is repulsive and averse to every sentiment of pure American spirit,” said Georgia’s Sen. Seaborn Roddenberry in 1912. “Let us uproot and exterminate now this debasing, ultra-demoralizing, un-American and inhuman leprosy.”

Replace “races” with “sexes” and change the colors to “man and woman” and “intermarriage between the races” with “marriage between people of the same gender”, and it’s identical arguments. The Supreme Court ruling which made interracial marriage legal should be applicable, but shockingly the conservative courts and legislatures refuse to apply it.
