"Richard ended up spending a night in jail, the pregnant Mildred several more, and the couple eventually pleaded guilty to violating Virginia's Racial Integrity Act of 1924, which recognized citizens as "pure white" only if they could claim white lineage all the way back to 1684. The Lovings' one-year sentences were suspended, but the plea bargain came with a price: The couple was ordered to leave the state and not return together for 25 years."
I'm glad I'm not freaking pure anything.. much less "pure white" what an insult to people's intelligence. How sadly devoid of compassion and human understanding for such a long time.. and so many still haven't evolved. No wonder they don't believe in evolution. They missed the boat.

"Almighty God created the races white, white, black, yellow, malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents," Judge Leon M. Bazile ruled. "And but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix."
Oh, right.. this MF speaks for GOD
"Stay on your own continent!"
"Still, there's little doubt about Mildred and Richard's legacy. There's an unofficial holiday celebrating their triumph and multiculturalism, called Loving Day (June 12). More importantly, the prohibition against mixed race marriages has been stripped out of every state constitution."
