Happy Loving Day
U.S. Supreme Court Decision, Loving vs. Virginia, 12 June 1967, struck down anti-miscegenation laws in the U.S. Interracial marriage is constitutional right.

Another example of common sense overcoming so-called science steeped in Darwin's theory. Common sense triumphed over scientific racism, which proclaimed through scientific measurements certain human populations are inferior to others.

How so?

They struck down racism left over from very deep dark south ant-black prejudices.

Would that be the same racism rooted in the dimwit party?

Democrats created those old laws and SCIENCE supported the idea that Blacks were inferior.
Once the south went GOP, the racism dwindled.
Other than in people like Robert Byrd, of course.

Ahem,the CONSERVATIVE Democrats kept black people down.And the LIBERAL Democrats and LIBERAL Republicans (the ones that are called RINO's but are conviently trotted out when needed)were the ones who passed the Civil Rights legislation.And people saw the courage of the black people down South facing down the Klan and the white power structure (which was pretty much the same thing).And I would call very few of those Souhern whites at that time liberals.
That's the reason most blacks remain loyal to the Democratic party.Many simply don't trust conservatives.
And the conservative party is mostly Republican.

False, the Court may have struck down a State Law, a State law based on scientific racism rooted throughout the world.
The American sociologist W. E. B. Du Bois once wrote, “The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line.” His words were borne out, in part, by science. It was the century when the scientifically backed enterprise of eugenics—improving the genetic quality of white, European races by removing people deemed inferior—gained massive popularity, with advocates on both sides of the Atlantic. It would take the Holocaust to show the world the logical endpoint of such horrific ideology, discrediting much race-based science and forcing eugenics’ most hardline adherents into the shadows.

It had to do with the belief of inferior genetics. At one time the Red Cross, not a southern institution, segregated blood banks, due to the belief black blood is inferior to and not compatible with white blood.

You are using an exception in scientific attitudes towards race that had occurred in the early 1900's.

.....was written in his 1903 treatise The Souls of Black Folk,
Yes it was continued by the Nazis as a twisted justification for their racial superiority like the phony use of
Quote:
Eugenics is the science of improving the human species by selectively mating people with specific desirable hereditary traits. It aims to reduce human suffering by “breeding out” disease, disabilities and so-called undesirable characteristics from the human population. Early supporters of eugenics believed people inherited mental illness, criminal tendencies and even poverty, and that these conditions could be bred out of the gene pool.

Your author...Ramin Skibba took this dim period in science out of context The height of the modern eugenics movement came in the late 19th and early 20th century. And fell into disrepute after WWII.
Modern scientific thought on the subject of race is very different than what was first believed as an outcome of bigotry and racial attitudes left over from the clash of the civil war and shortly after Jim Crow laws.
The Supreme court decision Loving vs. Virginia, 12 June 1967was a true reflection of the civil rights movement and rightfully decided not as a repudiation of eugenics or bogus racial theories long discarded by mainstream science.
