interracial marriage is a neo-Confederate view. It is unfortunate that Jimmy Carter doesn't see this, but such is the case that sometimes even our heroes make mistakes. The entire Civil War was fought over whether or not the states right to regulate slaves overruled the federal government's.

That issue was resolved in 1865. The issue of the prohibiting marriages between different races was settled by the Supreme Court in 1967. I see no difference between marriage equality as it relates to race, from marriage equality as it relates to sex.

The view was wrong then, and was wrong now. I am sorry that Jimmy Carter fails to see this, and that HRC has only recently come to the correct conclusion.

To make an argument that state's rights trumps human/civil rights was the Confederate argument then, and the neo-Confederate argument today.
