When I was young, I thought that all programmers have rational thinking. But I see that they are more like normal people. One of high ranked CFers spoke of similarity of interracial marriage and same-sex marriage, and got upvotes for that.

Of course, the analogy exists only in "progressive" narrative (many of us are so americanized so even we speak from U.S. POV) -- interracial marriage ban purposefully discriminated people, whereas absence of same-sex marriage is status quo even for countries which have never had anti-sodomy laws to begin with.

So what are the consequences of the former civil rights victory, lifting an interracial marriage ban? I in 2012, 72% of Black babies were born to unwed mothers (highest amongst all ethnic groups) http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr62/nvsr62_09.pdf

Why? The answer is very simple: black women are not sexually attractive for most men. http://qz.com/149342/the-uncomfortable-racial-preferences-revealed-by-online-dating/ They look too masculine. While black men may go for marrying White or Asian women, it's not easy for black woman to marry or even date outside their race. Given that in U.S. black population is smaller than White, this effect barely noticeable for Whites but very noticeable for Black women.

You don't hear much about this problem because it's difficult to link white racism to it. However, "civil rights" advocates probably will label me as racist just for noticing it. Of course there are some people trying to "explain" it by saying that most black males are poor, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_squeeze But you have to be really ignorant of reality to believe in it, given that this doesn't prevent black males to marry outside their race at much greater rate as black females.

There are many attributes of people. People can male or female, tall or short, clever or dumb, dark-skinned or light-skinned, extraverted and intraverted, sexually attractive and sexually repulsive. For unknown reason, civil rights movement picks some attributes (namely, race, sex, and sexual preference) as sacred but maintain it's okay to discriminate by other attributes. Why there is no affirmative action for intraverts? Why there are no affirmative action for sexually unattractive people? In a sense, a ban on interracial marriage was affirmative action for black women to get a black husband. It's not black women's fault that they are not attractive. They are just lucky enough that they aren't white males -- in that cases, civil rights advocates would blame them for what they are.

Lifting ban on interracial ban has benefited very few people, and has made worse for much more. Black children don't get their fathers, too, which probably adds to crime rate. But social justice warriors don't need to think -- they only need to repeat anything that they have been told as "good".
