There They Go Again...

I was doing some research on the same-sex marriage battle and came across an interesting piece of info. I've always asserted that the Religious Reichers and their drones in the Repubiborg Party have been recycling arguments from another contentious time in American history:

The interracial marriage battle.

In 1911 Rep. Seaborn Roddenberry of Georgia introduced a
constitutional amendment to ban interracial marriages.
Roddenberry stated in his appeal to Congress that:

"Intermarriage between whites and blacks is repulsive and averse to
every sentiment of pure American spirit. It is abhorrent and
repugnant. It is subversive to social peace. It is destructive of
moral supremacy, and ultimately this slavery to black beasts will
bring this nation to a fatal conflict."

In December 1912, an amendment to the Constitution was introduced
to abolish racial intermarriage:

Intermarriage between negros or persons of color and Caucasians . . .
within the United States . . . is forever prohibited.


Sound familiar?

This guy from 1911 is a real kook...
