The following article was printed in June, 1967, after the Supreme Court ruled in Loving v. Virginia that interracial marriage bans were unconstitutional.
The activist Supreme Court destroyed a great human institution this month as it legalized interracial marriage. Flying in the face of both democracy and history, the court's concerning decision will certainly deeply damage American social structure.
This editorial will outline our peremptory and omniscient view on the matter.
First of all, the judicial branch is not supposed to be making laws, it is supposed to be interpreting them, and the Constitution can not be effectively construed to allow the disgusting activity of interracial marriage to be a right.
Second, the American public clearly is opposed to interracial marriage, and the Supreme Court has usurped the democratic process and spit on the people's opinion in this radical ruling. America is a democratic country, and the will of the people should be the ultimate concern of the Supreme Court.
Third, marriage is one of the oldest human institutions. Never has it, in a developed country, allowed interracial nuptials. We surely can't start now, else we permanently damage the importance of marriage in society. We can't allow our own marriages to be tarnished by this disgusting activity.
Fourth, it's just plain indecent. God hates Negroes. Doesn't the Supreme Court know this? It's a shame.
Fifth, it just isn't natural. We're made different colors for a reason. We are not supposed to breed and mix.
Furthermore, why are all these liberal radicals calling interracial marriage a civil rights issue? Those Negroes already have the right to vote and the right to drink the same water as Whites. What more could they want? The right for a Negro man to marry a White woman is not a right at all; it's simply a travesty.
It appears there is little the moral majority in America can do to slow this dreadnaught of radical judicial activism and societal decay. Our only hope is for a constitutional amendment defining marriage as a single-race relationship. Let us hope and pray the will of the people is recognized.
