When interracial marriages were illegal

In fifty years we'll all be looking back at the debate on gays marriages with the same shock that we now look at this from 1958 in Virginia,  US: 
"Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix."--Judge Leon Bazile in Caroline County Court, 1958
