I love irony!
A little less than fifty years ago inter-racial marriage was illegal in close to half the united states, It was one of those things which was still left up to the states to decide, until the Supreme Court ruled on the issue in 1967, making it legal for men and women of differing races to marry each other. Up until that time if a white woman from, say, Oklahoma, wanted to marry a black man who grew up in Georgia-- well it just wasn’t going to happen, because both those states considered inter-racial marriage un-natural, immoral, and illegal.
