1959, Violet,Louisiana Rebbecca and George sat at a old diner in the middle of nowhere. it was a rainy day in the desolate town of just 1000 people. The diner was silent, so silent that you could hear the cold air flowing out of the rusted broken air conditioner in the back corner of the broken down shack. The silence spoke louder than any other voice could. The people st there silently looking at the two people. some with scowls, others in awe the rest with just plain confusion. rebbeca sat there and continued to order her food. silently wondering why all eyes in the room were on her and george.
Te waitress leaned down in her ear and said "we never seen couples like your kind round these parts".
rebbeca want abnormal. she was a beautiful girl with long blonde hair and a slim stature. at the time she was pregnant with her 3rd child. and george a handsome man with a dark skin tone a sharp jawline and a tall muscular stature. they were perfection. the only problem was, she was white and he was black. they had benn in love since they were 17 and they werent stoppng for a bunch of closed minded people in a little country town in the deep south. they were courageous and were married for 30 years. through all the tests and trials. that couple was my grandparents and that child they were pregnant with was my mother.
That goes to show that love is blind and resilient and doesn’t discriminate. It overpowers any hate. My grandmother stood her ground for my grandfather and she didn’t care what that waitress or the people staring at them hell, she didn’t even care what the KKK had to say. Neither did Mildred and Richard Loving. They brought their opinion on anti-miscegenation all the way to the Supreme Court and got all the laws passed to prevent interracial union. They paved the way for the present day. Today you see more interracial more commonly referred to as “swirl couples” than normal couples. Of course living in the south you see racial tinges often but that doesn’t stop me from dating who I want. Love who you love for who they are not because of the pigmentation in their skin
