In 1958, Richard Loving - a white man - married Mildred Jeter - a woman of color - a violation of Virginia's Racial Integrity Act. The Supreme Court ruling on Loving v. Virginia invalidated laws prohibiting interracial marriage all across the country - a move that wasn't popular at the time.
"When the Loving case was decided, a significant majority of Americans did not agree with interracial marriage, but the court went ahead anyway and said they have the fundamental right to be married," said Claire Gastanaga with the Virginia ACLU.

Mark Loving was raised by his grandma, Mildred Loving - the central character in the movie. While it's clear his grandmother is a woman of color, if you believe that color was black, Mark says you'd be wrong.
While he likes the overall theme of the movie, he takes offense that the film portrays his grandmother as African-American, when there's no evidence that she was.
"I know during those times, there were only two colors: white and blacks," said Loving. "But she was Native American, both of her parents were Native American."
Mark says his grandmother always identified as Rappahannock Indian. If you doubt him, look no further than Richard and Mildred's original D.C. marriage license, which is available online from the Smithsonian. It clearly reads, Richard Perry Loving - white - Mildred Delores Jeter - Indian.

Mark says if his grandmother was alive today, she would cringe at all the attention the family is getting, and she'd be insulted that she was racially profiled as someone she wasn't.

"She wasn't trying to be no hero, she wasn't tryin' to be no civil rights activist," he said. "She just wanted to come back to Central Point, Virginia."

Her grandson is just as delusional as she was if he keeps perpetuating this silly notion

All this time I was thinking she was just a knocked up Black teen who could only hide it by claiming Native American in order to get married.:mybadfanny: Even that type of marriage as outlawed until the Dawes roll legislation came out.

She was a c00n who wanted to continue c00ning with her cracker.

The thing is Indian isn't even a real tern for native Americans

And Native American is not an ethnicity

You can be a Black Native American
Exactly, but hes saying she's not black at all lmao.

I see zero naps around her hair like your bedwench grandma has. Stop the lies

you and your grandma are black c00ns. Your grandmother was a bald headed bedwench who thought that pressing her hair made her native american. Dumb c00ns.
