Its a generational thing.

400 years should be enough time,try endless creation of institutional racism which,unlike money, actually does trickle down.

Or black women.....probably 97% or so would be against it.

Wow, can't believe some still people think this way...

The PPP poll shows that Mississippians aged 18-29 are more likely to think interracial marriages should be illegal than those aged 30-45 and those 45-65. The younger generation were pretty similar to those 65 and older in their views on the legality of interracial marriages.

Aged 18-29: 30% say interracial marriages should be legal, while 54% say illegal
Aged 30-45: 48% say legal, while 38% say illegal
Aged 55-65: 49% legal, 39% illegal
Aged 65+: 30% legal, 56% illegal

The 18-29 year old stat is surprising. We are told by the media that racism is not that strong among the young.

Was this an online poll, because if it was it could be many answered in a way to upset everyone for fun.

Yep, it's like a family hairloom (intentionally misspelled although they won't get it)

It's Mississippi. I can't say that many Mississippians are the most rational people. Comes as no surprise really, as Mississippi has even been historically a socially corrupt state.

what if the black person and white person were cousins, would it be okay then ?

And I would agree with you.

But this thread is about Mississippi Republicans.

So what's your point?

Weird age grouping there where old and young coincide
