Jim Crow Laws

Intermarriage It shall be unlawful for a white person to marry anyone except a white person. Any marriage in violation of this section shall be void. This law was made in Georgia.

I think this law was made so the two races would not mix. White people were probably afraid that fully white people would become extinct because of the races being mixed. They were probably afraid of catching the disease during intercourse, or on the toilet. My opinion on this law is that it is okay if a black man or woman marries a white man or woman. It is okay for a person to be both black and white. For example, Barrack Obama is black and white, and he has accomplished more than anyone could've imagined. He is the first black president of the United States. He is doing a very good job cleaning up George W. Bush's mess.
