Yes, and conservatives also tried to get anti-miscegenation Constitutional amendments at the federal level. Limited government, pfft.

As if there were not already obvious connections to same sex marriage prohibition, another “on the books but (supposedly) not enforced” anti-miscegenation law from 1913 came oozing out of the woodwork in MA when same sex marriage was legalized.

Wasn’t repealed until 3 years ago.

(Lol things like this are why “quit living in the past!!!@1” is such an immediate eyeroll generator.)

From 1859 to 1926, it was illegal to be black in Oregon.

Only enforced once, I think.
