The Supreme Court delivered a verdict in favor for couples to marry interracially in 1967, they stated that the laws to prevent interracial marriage was nothing more than an attempt "to maintain white supremacy" (Stoddard 413).

A quote from a famous American author, Mark Twain says “Love seems the swiftest but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century.” The definition of marriage varies with cultures and views. The most popular and idealistic notion is that it’s a result from the unconditional love of two people wanting to share it for the rest of their life, in a committed and long bonding way. For some, however, marriage is more of an economical arrangement, a pact for two people to help and catch each other when the other one fall. And for others, it is just a paper that one can throw away if not needed, or by simple

Have you ever wonder what I would be like to be restricted by law on who you could marry because of their race? Imagine, a world where you fell in love with someone that was of a different race than yourself and then not being allow to marry them because the law forbid it.

From the early settlements of America, when segregation was clearly established and accepted in early America’s society, we could see a reflection in those days’ marriage since it was completely forbidden for a white person to marry a person of color. Banishment was the punishment for such action and in some places, like Mississippi, the black person would be imprisoned for life (1865). Furthermore, Article VIII of the Louisiana Black Code forbade slaves to get married without permission of their slave master. It was not until 1967 when Anti-miscegenation laws finally considered unconstitutional that interracial marriage was forbidden.

Virginian judge, Leon Bazile sentenced the couple to a year in prison that could be suspended if the couple agreed to leave the state for the next 25 years. The Loving’s left their home state in after this sentence, residing with relatives relatives in Washington, D.C., before their return to visit family five years later, at which point they were arrested again, this time for traveling together. They brought their case of discrimination on the basis of race that had burdened their marriage to the Supreme Court, who ruled that state bans on interracial marriage were unconstitutional. This exercises the “nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws” section within section 1; the Supreme Court ruled against state bans of interracial marriage because it takes away equal marriage laws on the basis of race.

Fifty years ago, many Americans strongly disapproved of interracial relationships, and especially in the south, they clearly voiced their opinions about them. Interracial couples dealt with many trying situations in the late 1800s and clearly 1900. Even though many interracial couples today do not experience such severe punishments from society as they did fifty years ago, they still know they are viewed negatively by some Americans. Although, American society’s attitudes about interracial relationships, the lives of most mixed couples are negatively affected even today. For many generations, parents have had an extremely difficult time accepting that their children were in interracial relationships.

Interracial marriage is always one of the hottest focus in the immigration study (Alba and Nee 2003; Pagnini and Morgan 1990; Kalmijn and Tubergen 2010), there are many different explanation models using different levels of measurement exist for its analysis. First, many study conduct the relationship between interracial marriage among immigrants and different groups in host society and using the rate of immigrants’ intermarriage as an indicators to predict their level of assimilation into the host society (Qian and Lichter 2001; Pagnini and Morgan 1990; Waters 2000; Dribe and Lundh 2008;Xie and Goyette 1997).

Living in the United States means living with diversity. A historically controversial topic that comes with diversity is interracial couples. Having only been made legal in 1967 by the United States Supreme Court ruling in the Loving v. Commonwealth of Virginia, there are still prominent parts of society that took down upon mixed raced couples. (Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1967) This research paper is designed to show data collected from ___ interviews from participants of a variety of ages and ethnicities. The purpose of this study is to see how modern day college students and working members of society see interracial couples now and in the future. Interracial marriages has increased dramatically since the 1970s but according to 2007 U.S. Bureau of the Census data (2009), Black/White marriages count for half a percent of all marriages in America (Field, Kimuna, Straus, 2013, p. 742).

“Everybody is human, everybody walks, and everybody talks, so why care what they say. Many choose to be unique and not care about irrelevant people.” Interracial Marriage is one of the less cared about marriages. Most people do not approve of any type of interracial marriage or mixed-race children in a family of another race. People were not born to hate, they were raised to be that way. Every individual has a right to be there own person, but don’t have enough respect not to show it around people who may disapprove in it anyway. Not everybody can help who they fall in love with. Whether it is a younger or older person. A Mexican or an African American. Many laws and preferences have changed since 1619, which was also the year that the first interracial marriage happened. Some people who were raised in racism may think different about interracial marriage or as many may say it is a sin. Nobody goes throughout a whole entire day without committing a sin because nobody is perfect. Maybe there is a reason a white woman prefers African American males or a Mexican woman prefers a white male, maybe something happened in their lives with their own race that made them change their course in thought. Many older people do not approve the interracial marriage or relationship because they had to live through slavery, wars, and all the trauma of the loss of a loved one due to the other race. This generation may not understand how they feel because they did not have to go through it
