The way I see it, if the state government won't treat you right, then the federal government MUST step in. Part of the reason I don't trust states' rights.
That's funny because the federal gov has been screwing over Americans for hundreds of years.
There is nothing to trust about the federal government whatsoever.

Based on my own family history and some of the things that have happened to my forefathers years back, the state governments can't be trusted either. Slavery, Jim Crow, Plessy vs. Ferguson, just a few reasons I don't trust the state government either. Being African-American, male, and getting close to 25 years old, I have to think of it in terms of "what if I was living back in those days?". That's my perspective.

but you aren't. You are living In These Days. And i am minority too but that has nothing to do with anything. Discrimination is illegal and its a moot point. States rights are being violated by Medicare, SS, Obamacare and other socialist federal programs being forced on states and this should stop
If you polled Black Democrat women anywhere the results would be just as high.
What evidence do you have that Black Democrat women think that interracial marriage should be illegal? The reason why there were anti-miscegenation laws on the books in the first place is because Whites didn't want the so-called purity of their bloodline "polluted" by Black blood. In light of that, there's absolutely no basis that any group of Blacks would be in support of something so inane.
Sorry, but this isn't a case the popular conservative rallying cry of "Blacks are just as racist!"
Then it's up to the voters of those states. I think states who don't allow concealed weapons to be discriminatory and biased against constitutional rights. So, I don't live there. You take care of your states business and I'll take care of mine.
Wow, I don't even want to know what you thought about Civil Rights legislation in the 60's and the feds' enforcement of such.

Nope. Again Alabama had this on the ballot back in 2000, for the most part support for ending the ban or support for keeping the ban in place was determined on the party and demographic makeup of the county.

ending what ban In 2000? There was no ban At That Time and there isn't one Now

Despite the Loving V Virginia ruling in 1967 Alabama still had a law on the books that banned interracial marriage. The law wasn't enforced after Loving V Virginia, but was still on the books. In the 2000 election, a referendum was held to take the law off the books, the referendum passed 59.5-40.5 and the law was officially taken off the books. The heavily black counties (Democratic) voted overwhelmingly to take the law off the books, while many (though not all) of the heavily white counties (Republican) voted to keep the law on the books.
