Mississippi GOP want to ban Interracial Marriage? - 04/08/11 03:15 PM
It should be noted, this poll was taken by the Democratic-leaning PPP polling firm, but none the less the result is still sadly surprising in 2011. Especially considering said issue was deemed legal by the Supreme Court some 50 years ago.
(and for the record, Fuck Mississippi. The only good thing we Tennesseeans see from that traditionally dysfunctional state is that they keep us from being dead last in Education in the nation.)
46 Percent of Mississippi Republicans Want Interracial Marriage Banned
And heads up for '12 primaries in that state?

46 Percent of Mississippi Republicans Want Interracial Marriage Banned
Quote:
A whopping 46 percent of likely GOP primary voters said they think interracial marriage should be illegal, while only 40 percent said they think it should be allowed. Another 14 percent said they were unsure.
It was only 45 years ago that Mississippi legalized interracial marriage, and this poll indicates it continues to be a controversial subject.

The PPP poll also revealed that Palin has more support among voters who believe interracial marriage should be illegal than among those who are OK with it. Mitt Romney's numbers reveal just the opposite. He has a higher favorability among Mississippi Republicans who want interracial marriage to remain legal.
