WEBVTT

00:00:00.490 --> 00:00:04.469
Yo, yo, yo, it's your boy Quincy Murdock, courteous

00:00:04.469 --> 00:00:11.609
and not just music podcast. I hope everybody

00:00:11.609 --> 00:00:14.589
is well, man. Back at you again with some black

00:00:14.589 --> 00:00:19.929
history. It ties into what I see in society today.

00:00:20.070 --> 00:00:24.289
This is actually was a unique story of how this

00:00:24.289 --> 00:00:28.149
came about and it's interracial relationships.

00:00:29.420 --> 00:00:32.020
You notice, you know, if you look out there now,

00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:36.259
it's a lot more black with white. And, you know,

00:00:36.340 --> 00:00:38.520
of course, we all know our history back in the

00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:43.039
days. Interracial relationships wasn't condoned.

00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:47.259
It wasn't accepted from society. It was punishments

00:00:47.259 --> 00:00:50.700
that you would face if you were caught with another

00:00:50.700 --> 00:00:53.820
race. You know, if you were black and caught

00:00:53.820 --> 00:00:57.439
with a white individual, it was actually two.

00:00:58.909 --> 00:01:03.729
individuals that broke this code and this was

00:01:03.729 --> 00:01:06.670
the ban on interracial relationships in the u

00:01:06.670 --> 00:01:10.549
.s which was overturned because of one couple

00:01:10.549 --> 00:01:17.549
in 1967 okay and mildred and richard loving mildred

00:01:17.549 --> 00:01:20.530
and richard loving left their home state of virginia

00:01:20.530 --> 00:01:23.709
to get married they were warned by virginia state

00:01:23.709 --> 00:01:26.909
officials that getting married would be a violation

00:01:26.909 --> 00:01:31.060
of state law as Richard was white and Mildred

00:01:31.060 --> 00:01:35.980
was not. She was black. When they returned home,

00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:39.659
Mildred was promptly arrested. When she was finally

00:01:39.659 --> 00:01:43.239
released, the couple was referred to the American

00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:47.140
Civil Liberties Union by Robert Kennedy. The

00:01:47.140 --> 00:01:52.840
ACLU, seeing an opportunity to end anti -miscongregation

00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.280
laws, jumped at the chance. After making their

00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:59.379
way through local and state courts, Loving versus

00:01:59.379 --> 00:02:03.159
Virginia was put before the Supreme Court and

00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.700
the bans on interracial marriage were deemed

00:02:05.700 --> 00:02:09.780
unconstitutional. It was a landmark victory for

00:02:09.780 --> 00:02:13.620
couples of different races and the Lovings are

00:02:13.620 --> 00:02:17.919
often hurled as being the catalyst for making

00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:22.460
it happen. The last law formally prohibited interracial

00:02:22.460 --> 00:02:25.639
marriages was overturned in Alabama in 2000.

00:02:26.379 --> 00:02:30.340
The Lovings were featured in a 2016 biopic, Loving,

00:02:30.460 --> 00:02:37.639
starring Ruth Nega and Joel Edgerton. Edgerton.

00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:41.060
I think I said that right. Joel Edgerton. So

00:02:41.060 --> 00:02:43.860
they were in a movie. A movie was kind of made

00:02:43.860 --> 00:02:46.860
about them. What's going on? It's your boy, DeJuan

00:02:46.860 --> 00:02:49.819

00:04:23.420 --> 00:04:25.319

have to go off character anything these stories

00:04:50.100 --> 00:04:52.550
are showing me and telling me It's more about

00:04:52.550 --> 00:04:56.089
the character of individuals, the upbringing,

00:04:56.089 --> 00:04:59.509
the beliefs, the morals of individuals, not just

00:04:59.509 --> 00:05:02.569
skin color. It's teaching me that your lifestyle,

00:05:02.670 --> 00:05:04.410
how you were raised, how you were brought up

00:05:04.410 --> 00:05:09.149
plays a huge role and factor into your beliefs

00:05:09.149 --> 00:05:11.949
and how you move out here in the world and how

00:05:11.949 --> 00:05:15.310
they were moving back then. So this was a beautiful

00:05:15.310 --> 00:05:17.649
story, because I know it's a lot of interracial

00:05:17.649 --> 00:05:20.350
couples out there. And I just want y 'all to

00:05:20.350 --> 00:05:22.250

whatever. Thank these two couples because they

00:05:33.670 --> 00:05:37.230
did it in a time where it wasn't popular. It

00:05:37.230 --> 00:05:39.689
wasn't accepted. And there was punishment and

00:05:39.689 --> 00:05:42.769
there was consequences that followed it. If you

00:05:42.769 --> 00:05:47.290
were caught with the other race. are involved

00:05:47.290 --> 00:05:50.949
